Australian DVD Retail Chain EzyDVD has updated their site with box art for the upcoming Australian complete collection DVD box set releases. First up is the Beast Wars Complete Collection, which reuses artwork from the IDW Beast Wars: The Gathering comics. Second is the Japanese "Transformers Takara" Complete Collection set. This set, which covers the three Japan-only series Transformers The Headmaster, Chojin Masterforce and Victory recycles the box art from the previous UK releases of the three series. Last is the 1986 Animated Movie Blu Ray Edition, which uses the classic "Hot Rod holding the Matrix aloft while Unicron lingers menacingly in the atmosphere above" artwork. All three sets are currently up for preorder at EzyDVD, with a tentative release date of June 24th.
