I've been hoping this stuff would see a physical format one day. <br /><br />I'm disappointed to hear that Hasbro have little interest in the Beast era stuff seeing the light of day. Particularly as Beast Wars helped inject new life into a franchise that could have been gone forever after the poor performance of G2. Mind you, Hasbro don't seem very keen on stuff that rakes over the brands past. Maybe its because they don't want the brand tarred with the 'retro' tag, or because they don't have much interest in the box art - or appreciate its value to some of us. I love it, and would love to see this work get its dues. I don't know that I'd be interested in anything beyond Beast Wars though. Most of the box art beyond the Beast Era has been pretty terrible and its only with the recent Powercore Combiner 5 packs and the Hunt For The Decepticon line that some decent artwork has shown up again.<br /><br />...um, I'm rambling aren't I? :)Simon Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00660129909470443597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-62468060790404712732012-05-05T19:18:49.889-07:002012-05-05T19:18:49.889-07:00Jim, I have a really strange transparency of Perce...Jim, I have a really strange transparency of Perceptor that looks like it was to be intended for the box art, but the lineart of which ended up being used for the instruction sheet.

I've several of the G1/G2 production art transparencies & packaging proofs made from the original paintings, including Action Masters, plus four of the actual paintings, one of which was a proof of concept for the Pretenders. <br /><br />Nice thing about them is that they also display the bots' artwork as they originally appeared before any corrections were made. I know one or two of them also has notes involving changes that Hasbro wanted made to the artwork. <br /><br />Can you also use any images of the Transformers animation model sheets and/or production cels cels?<br /><br />What I do need to know is what format and resolution you want these images and if you wouldn't mind them sent on a CD/DVD.
