Artist Marcelo Matere has updated his deviantART blog with inked line art that was created for the packaging for the Transformers Universe two-pack of Victory Saber and Dessarus (better known as Deathsaurus). The two-pack was part of the last wave of Robot Heroes scheduled to be released in the Transformers Universe 2.0 line and was unfortunately cancelled. A packaged version of the two-pack did surface on the internet, which shows that another set of images was chosen to be included on the packaging instead of the ones shown here.
Check out the image of the unused line art by clicking on the thumbnail to the left.

I was very disappointed when Robot Heroes got cancelled. I so wanted these two, plus RID Prime and Prowl.

Awesome love for Victory bots…
But "Robot Hero's" = Meh and does absolutely nothing for me….

Man I wish they released this. I love and collect all Robot Heroes.
Love Marcello's RH designs! Post them all Marcello – espsecially the movieverse ones. I love the drawings. Super appealing and fun

Whimper.
Makes me sad this line ended with the 7-pack ROTF sets where half of the figs are crappy little alt-modes.
I really hope Hasbro busts out a U-turn on their decision and brings these to production.

As we have seen from the packaging art that surfaced (as seen in our Resources page for Dessarus), this art was slightly different than the one actually chosen for the package.
