I kinda dig the TF: Animated Japan packaging. Nice.

Compared to the Autobots and Starscream, he doesn't look that different (the toy itself-not packaging) from the hasbro release. Maybe that's a critique for another thread. I know there are differences, but I had to go back and find a side-by-side to really see them. I'm sure the bling-paint would stand out more in person.
As for the packaging, what everyone else said.

That there's a nice box.

I like the Takara packaging, though I must say it really doesn't capture the spirit of the show like Hasbro's.

Japanese version is always cool.

Still looks like a KO box to me, lol.

I'm having trouble telling, but does he look a little purplish to anyone else?

well its post movie and its a US feature so I can live with it…. But I do enjoy the Japanese terms

I like it. But then I've always preferred simplicity in package design rather then making them in weird shapes like Hasbro does.
In any case, like it or hate it, in the end it's still just a box.

I like it – but I DONT like it… it's a Japanese box, right? Where the hell is all the Japanese on it?? I can read every word on that box – it feels like something I'd see on the shelf at TRU or Wally-World (Wal*Mart). I like the old Japanese G1 boxes – I can read the figures name and what it turns into – nothing more. Its the enigma of the babel that makes me dig foreign packages. This looks like something Hasbro already had planned, didnt use, and gave to TakaTomy like "Hey you want this layout? We think its sub-par to our own."

"basic repetition of general critiques from this thread!"

well I like the packaging and i want to see the autobot version. as for the extra english it could be Takara is realizing how many of these may be potentially exported to english speaking countries so they added more to it for those customers.

Love the colors, especially the bright purples.
Nevertheless, still a bigger fan of the cartoonish Hasbro packaging.
