Best of Transformers toy box covers (Action figure box covers)

 I was cleaning my room and I stumbled across Kingdom Inferno's box and I was reminded of how we had some neat artwork on the toy covers. Here is a compiled list starting from the classics line till present day. This is my preference. If anyone wants to share their preferences, please lmk below. (This is a look on only the figures I've opened and reviewed thus far)

Generations Jetfire/Skyfire was most likely the first of the 3d artwork that got me into the boxart. Most of the Unite Warriors boxes were simply amazing. I really like how Defensor is running through the highway and Computron/Computicon's Nosecone drilling out of the ground. 

Never really knew Slugslinger, but for an odd reason, this pose of his struck a cord with me. Always liked how Metroplex looked menacing for this pose. The Hasbro release actually has smaller class figures drawn on him. But still, he looks stunning here. 

Siege had some pretty artwork. I really like the poses where they are running into battle. ER Trailbreaker looks astonishing here as well. For some reason, I really liked the Siege promotional artwork here. 

Man, possibly the most astounding Legends artwork of all the LG figures. 

I'm just blown away by Inferno's pose here. Pretty much the reason why I decided to do this post. Sideswipe has some pretty postures whenever he is depicted. lastly, I love the reflection on the Alternate Universe Optimus Prime.

That's it for now. Will probably update this post as soon as I find more boxwork I like. Toodles. 

Anti mandate = Anti vaxx?

I originally wrote some demeaning words about this guy but what I will say now is that this is one evil man. But I do feel the lord wants me to pray, as it should always, for people like him. Hopefully, he will repent and turn his life around.

Alternate Universe Optimus Prime- Transformers Generations Earthrise War for Cybertron review. Transformers the movie dead Optimus prime!

 

You can not comply your way out of tyranny

Aloha folks. I'm back with another review of Transformers. Thanks to Transfan84/Darkonen giving me ER Optimus Prime, I was finally able to open up this guy I picked up from Amazon since last year. Why is that? You will see soon enough. Without haste, let's get started!

Boxing

Chest

Who do you see?

Head/shoulders

Right arm

Left arm

Back

Crotch/pelvis

The figure comes in box that resembles Optimus's battered body. I have labeled the pics to show you the body parts that are visualized as you inspect the outer box. You can also see Hot Rod, Ultra Magnus, and Arcee's reflection on the left chest panel. As his chest cavity opens, you reveal the figure. Neat concept. 

Here is the video if you prefer see the body parts in real time. 

Returning from the dead

The contents are pretty much the same packaged release like ER Prime. The main differences are: Primes spark-less body, his trailer is dulled out (pretty much yellowed, haha), gun is silver painted now (much nicer looking as well), and battle damage: marks on mouthpiece, slash on the left stomach, and bent ears. All trademark damage caused by Megatron in the 86 flick. I received a matrix in this one though but thanks to that thick chest of his again, it's a little difficult for alt Prime to hold the matrix steady in most angles. The Matrix color included here seems to be a little duller looking than the one that came with Hot Rod. Or it looked to me that way. Alt-Prime also uses the same gimmicks ER Prime had regarding the trailer parts and poses. 

*This alt-Prime version uses another rifle provided by Darkonen/Transfan84 given to me around Christmas 2020. 

Alt mode

As for alt mode, easy to transform if you already played with ER Prime. Same gimmick though I forgot to mention you can plug his weapons inside of his trailer if that is your forte. Not to mention, you can stick the artillery drone outside the trailer while it is folded up. 

*Missed opportunity: I should have had ER prime man that drone in these pics.*

W/Earthrise Optimus Prime

You can see the differences. Apparently, dying caused Prime's trailer to fade out as well. Since its the same mold, they can both swap each other's parts out. The joints are tight for both figures as both of them are alike in the play factor. Both look great in their respective conditions. 

Optimus Prime's death scene 

"One day an Autobot shall rise from our ranks, and use the power of the Matrix to light our darkest hour." ~ Optimus Prime. 

"I fear the wounds are... fatal." ~ Perceptor

 "Ultra Magnus, it is to you old friend. I shall pass the matrix of leadership as it was passed to me."

"Until that day, Till all are one."

I had fun though I wish I had a better setup.  I had no actual Daniel figure sans the 86 Slag counterpart one. Till all are one.

Conclusion:

This is figure to have if you are a Optimus mark. You are double dipping on the same ER figure but I always wanted it just to re-play the death scene. I'll end it here. Until next time. Thank you for visiting and reading. Till all are one. 

Darn it Magnus, I said it was to you!
