    Yes. Remember when the pictures of that Minicons 12 pack appeared with "Armada series" on the packaging? (And people weren't happy.) I would expect the deluxes should be like the Beast Wars Robot Heroes and say "Beast Wars series".

    It would be funny if it says something stupid like 'Beast Planet...or Beast Machines '.

    I'll Bio-Combat you good! It'd be a real obscure leftfield reference if they labelled it Phat Planet.

    If you think I'm suggesting they should just call everything the 25th anniversay line forever and ever, then you're wrong.
    Assuming Hasbro thinks the same way I do, it's likely to be more efficient to advertise the 25th Anniversary across the entire product line rather than localise it as a specialty line. That way, they can still keep the line as Universe from 2008, to 2009 and 2010, instead of suddenly stopping Universe soon after it started and turning it into the 25th Anniversary line.... then restarting Universe again in 2010.

    Ok, now I see where you're coming from. But yea, as long as they keep adding the 25th anniversay and the seperate "series lines" to the package as apparently they've started to do here, then yea, I see now why they'd/you'd want to also keep the universe name there.

    Just because it seems contextual here, here are the rundowns of "series lines" that I had noticed to date back then:

    Stormcloud (Powerglide repaint)
    Blades
    Sunstreaker
    Blaster

    G1 Series
    Optimus Prime (25th anniversary)
    Roadbuster (2-pack)
    Dirge (2-pack)

    Armada Series
    Mini-Con 12 pack

    War Within Series
    Ratbat (2-pack)
    Springer (2-pack)
    They do seem a bit random. You'd think Roadbuster and Dirge would be under Classic Series.... same for Starscream. That is, if you make the assumption that "G1 series" are g1 reissues.

    Well, it is rather confusing with the reissue Prime thrown in there... does it mean that G1 series is meant to be G1 reissues but with Dirge and Roadbuster haphazardly thrown in, or is it meant to be repaints of recent figures as G1 homages like Dirge and Roadbuster, but with a G1 Prime reissue thrown in haphazardly?!?

    Why... it's almost as if Hasbro's not paying attention... (o_O)
