Universe cybertron set
http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-...e-pack-165791/
At least they're not repainted and are original cybertron colours, but some of them arn't that great either. Longrack is good to me, it's actually got diecast parts.

Yea, I can't find the picture in my cache, so will have to wait.
It had in it: (Big 5 pack box set)
Buzzsaw
Prime (armada deluxe)
Runamuck
Blurr
Longrack
All are in their cybertron colours, so no different there.
The set was called something like "Battle for the cyber keys".

A five pack of Deluxes would be a pricey item but I think I'd prefer to see some of the original Cybertron deluxes toys re-released over Armada retools from the Cybertron line.
Maybe this is just more returned/left over stock? Particularly if they are the same colours.

Yea, it's pretty funny how it's a "reissue of reissues".
I too would have preferred to have seen the more "one off" toys such as unicron and thunderblast, etc.

To me, this gives more and more credence to the view that Hasbro is simply repackaging returned items and then repackaging them. I was very cynical of that view at first but there's less and less doubt now that that's the case. I mean, I don't imagine Hasbro for a single moment sitting down and canvassing the proposition that Longrack, Buzzaw and Runamuck are such fan favourites that it necessitates a new production run.
Universe looks to be at this point a strategic move on two fronts: a.) to move old/returned stock and b.) new realistic figures. And I think that the dividing line is becoming clearer between the two distinct thrusts of Universe.
