Kishimoto Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Yesterday I say a Unicron "Energon"at my local K-Mart and notice right away that this could be an error packaging. I know that there are two versions of this figure out. You have the first one which has the color scheme of his original movie version, then later you have a repaint, purple and black. Each one also has different packaging corresponding to their color scheme. That is where I notice the difference in this one. It has the original Unicron(orange/purple) in a box which has the repaint(purple/black) artwork. I looked closely to see if someone might have tampered with it, bought it, replaced, and then returned it. But the tape and all the interior ties haven't been touched. I'm just wondering if anyone has seen one like this. Have I stumbled on a great find? Kishimoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichterX Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 I saw several of those when the Energon were starting to come around, I think it is something like transition error from the Armada Unicron colours to the Energon Unicron colours.

David Hingtgen Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 It's not even a transition error. Hasbro just has a lot more new-style boxes and has been shipping them out that way for months. Unincron has a big custom box, so they're not going to re-print a bunch just to have the Armada logo on it. Most Unicrons you see nowadays are standard Unicrons in repaint box. Repaint Unicron is quite rare actually, I've only seen 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
