Europe doesn't have Universe.

I can make out German, Spanish, Italian and Dutch.

Didn't Rail Racer originally appear in RiD? And only composed of 3 trains?

Is it being released stateside? I heard a rumor that they might be european exclusives. I have sixliner, but I'd love to get my hands on this version as well. Rail Racer was definitely a favorite of mine in RID, if only because he did the hammy superhero so well . . .

They repackaged the Micromasters (Defensor and Devastator) as "Energon" (released in the UK, Netherlands, Scandinavia and Greece), because Europe doesn't have Universe.

Did the Razorclaw and Primal you mentioned come in trilingual or hexalingual packaging?
