The outer box design is a replica of early Transformers toy boxes! No better choice for a TF DVD boxset. How truly fitting!
Replicated accurately, right down to the technical specifications section of the box
Other than the vintage box art of Optimus Prime & Megatron on the front, there's 4 more on the interior box flaps.
Interior Tin Case packaging:
A few characters from the cartoon are printed on the back of the tin case, within a sort of size comparison chart
Opening the tin case gave me a feeling of Optimus Prime opening his chest compartment. This is due to the printed cardboard "cover" inside, based on the interior of Optimus Prime's torso with a glowing matrix. Very Nice!
The 2 DVD cases in the tin case:
There's also a exclusive comic included in the package. Written by Simon Furman & art by Nick Roche, the comic fills in the gap between end of Season 2 & the animated Transformers Movie.
DVD case interior & discs
There's a spare slot in the first DVD case, I guess it's for the Movie DVD to "complete" the set. Madman even printed the Movie into the episode list on the back cover. However, the Special Edition Movie DVD set that was released together with this box set contains 2 DVDs, so I guess peeps who got both will have to decide which disc to put in. The one in my picture is Madman's first DVD release of the TF Movie.
Madman vs. Rhino (first 3 boxsets)
Finally, here's a size comparison of the DVD boxset with actual Transformers toy boxes
As for the video quality, I made a comparison with my US R1 Rhino versions. The picture on the Madman version is somewhat cleaner. Not only that, Madman's didn't have the notorious restoration animation errors of Rhino.
Only thing missing from this DVD boxset is a tech spec decoder. lol
