    I was recently sent images of prints of the Beast Wars artwork used on the packaging, and was given permission from the owner to share. Check out the attached images below. These were produced by Hasbro themselves during the creation of the toyline. I own some of the prints myself and the blown up details are awesome to see. Enjoy!

    Shameless plug: I also posted galleries of these on my instagram: Login • Instagram

    These three are a bit of a mystery. They accompanied the prints from the owner's Hasbro contact but have not been identified. I'm assuming they're from another toyline, and also unpublished. Anyone recognize them?

    EDIT: Thanks to @Nope for IDing these as Animorphs characters

    Beautiful to see these in high quality. Jetstorm in particular is really fascinating because of the bizarre inclusion of his beast mode.

    They appear to be earlier versions of the packaging artwork for Animorphs Taxxon and Jake (stingray).

    EDIT: looks like they were done by a different artist as well. Reminds me of the Goosebumps cover artist.

    Awesome, thanks! I previously looked into Animorphs but didn't go deep enough to find those ones. They're definitely Taxxon and Jake.

    Same. I love Jim Sorenson's Legacy book and am hoping a Beast Wars one like it will happen some day.

    Frikkin' sweet. Many thanks for posting these here for us to see.

    That Jetstream image kinda reminds me of the artwork used for the Visionaries toys.

    These are awesome. We're they all produced into figures? I remember having a lot of these but I'm not familiar with the entire line of toys.
