![]() With this being a celebratory collection of sorts for the franchise thus far, this decision makes sense, and looks great. ![]() It’s just a really fun, cool looking way to individualize and add some life to the Steelbooks, instead of simply having the logos on the back in a sea of colour.įor the interior slip covers, this collection chooses to remain harmonious, with each showcasing scenes from that particular film, over focusing on one, large, all-encompassing moment to cover the entire interior. ![]() The other films have holes punched out of the metal, or deterioration happening. There are claw marks on the back of two, the first film and Age of Extinction, though I’d say AoE is likely claws, while the first film I’d argue is more apt to be cuts from blades. Each case has either an Autobots or Decepticons logo on it, with Transformers: The Last Knight being the odd film out, combining half of each logo in the center. They look as though they may be shipping crates, or the likes, with the back of each Steelbook showing wear and tear (sometimes literally) that steel or metallic casing would over time. Then we’ve got Optimus once again taking center stage for The Last Knight, and Bumblebee as the one aptly chosen for the Bumblebee Steelbook.Īt the risk of sounding silly, the background art on the Steelbooks have a steel look to them. Then we’ve got Shockwave beautifully overtaking the Dark of the Moon Steelbook, while Age of Extinction sees a transformed Grimlock in dinobot form, mid-roar, which is my personal favourite cover. Next up for Revenge of the Fallen we’ve got Megatron front and center, which also makes sense, given they’re the leaders of both sides. The first film, Transformers, has Optimus Prime on the cover, which is no surprise. The colours chosen not only compliment each character, but also bring a nice variety to the look of each film once taken out of the case as well. The transformers take up the majority of the front, which is great, really showcasing their giant presence instead of worrying about showing more or the entirety of the character being showcased. The covers each have one of the main Transformer characters from that particular film on the cover of the Steelbook, alongside the title of the movie on an angle. It also just feels more industrial to have this finish to the cases, matching the exterior box art and transformer style from within the movies. The Steelbooks are placed neatly within and are each given their own colours, which help give them catch the eye before you’ve even taken one out.Įach of the Steelbooks has a matte finish, which is fantastic, as it takes away any risk of fingerprints, or glare when looking at them, while also allowing the metallic styling and look of the Transformers found on each cover to stand out more than they would had the entire case been glossy. The cover opens up nicely, while remaining attached to the box itself, giving easy access to the Steelbooks within, while also giving the bundle a high-quality feel. Instead of being a regular, pull-off slipcase, or opening up to paged sleeves holding the discs, the above casing is a very cool magnetic cover that opens up to reveal the carvings from the film, and also the spraypainted letters TF, for obvious reasons. ![]() As a whole it’s simple, but it’s incredibly appealing, and instantly captures the earthbound vibe of the films within. On the back we’ve got the Decepticons logo, which matches the style of the Autobots, but is spraypainted on in red. The front of the box has the Autobots logo on it, which looks spraypainted on in blue, which fits, as the box itself is made to look like it’s a concrete of sorts. The case itself is simple in shape, but that’s what the majority of collectors and fans would want, as it will fit easily onto shelves, or wherever you may keep your film collection, without sticking out like a sore thumb, or requiring some sort of special treatment in order to squeeze it in somewhere. To celebrate the latest live-action Transformers film, Rise of the Beasts, joining the pack, Paramount has released an awesome Transformers 4K Steelbook Collection that brings together all six of the previously released films in the franchise into one slick boxset. The Transformers franchise has been going strong for over 16 years, and it shows no signs of slowing down. ![]()
