Transformers Energon: The Complete Series and Transformers Energon, Vol. 1 Cover Art

That first piece of package art was kind of bad. Better than I can do, but usually they have better cover art

The Volume 1 cover looks fine, but Dat Complete Series boxart....Absolutely sucks.

That Volume 1 DVD is gonna shelfwarm till Armageddon, as no one with half a brain is eeeeeeeeeever gonna buy it.

It's recycled art from the Dreamwave days.

And yet so far down the drain compared to the bar Dreamwave set with Armada and the G1-nostalgia-vival. There seemed to be a distinct lack of decent promotional art as Energon wound down. I remember one calendar in particular that made even Pat Lee's most nonsensically-detailed pieces look renaissance-grade by comparison. Was it just another side-effect of Dreamwave's infuriating bankruptcy?

And while I'm tempted to agree about most single releases vs. compete series, the Energon toon was actually really watchable in its early days, so maybe they're counting on some fans having fond memories of its launch but absolutely refusing to own the series past a certain point?

I think he is referring to the complete series box art, which unless it's really up-scaled or a vector trace from a small piece of art, doesn't look like Dreamwave. I could be wrong, and of course do tell me if I am.

i think the entire unicron trilogy in one box set would be better
heres to hoping

Both of them are recycled art pieces from back then.

That first one is very badly recycled then. Of all the dreamwave art to pick from...I swear marketing people have zero clue what they are doing. Does nobody care about anything anymore? And the series being for kids doesn't fly as an excuse because what do they think illustrated children's books look like?
Ah well.

Mediocre art for a mediocre series.

Just goes to show how little care there is for this series. Not surprising, considering it's the worst one ever.

I suppose. Though personal feelings aside, if a company wants to put out product, shouldn't they at least try to sell it properly? I just believe in doing a good job regardless of what it is or it's intended audience

Still, I actually prefer Energon to Armada in some ways, but I think that's due to the amount of homages to G1 series 3 characters. Plus...I never truly watched Energon, I am getting through Super Link finally though.

Ah, gotta love classic marketing hyperbole!

Can we do something to make them changing the cover of the DVD set?

I've got so many Dr. Evil Finger Quotes memes to make...

What a great show. I enjoyed this immensely. I've been re-watching it recently for maybe the third time. Paramount's DVD set was outstanding but I think this show deserves owning both releases. I also have the first volume release on pre order. I hope others share my love for this show!

Cuz it was the worst quality TF cartoon ever produced. It really, truly, factually was.

Especially the even worse English version.

Gonna put in my preorder for this; was hoping the price would go down a bit though.

not sure if its worth the price
