The background tones are mostly purple and black and the Legacy logo just screams "Pay Attention to Me!!!" with its sharp angles and beveled letters that look like something right out of 90's toy packaging (and yes, this is what the BWTF logo circa 2022 is a homage to). The more Earth-tone colors of Kingdom have been traded up for a very retro-scifi (circa the 90's) look. The box art itself is pretty spectacular. Now, it's probably easier to do that with a Core Class figure than a Deluxe or Voyager, but the concern is a valid one and I will be interested to see where this design choice goes in the future. During a recent shopping trip I did see Core Class Ravage gone from his packaging. I am all for eco-friendly packaging and reducing plastic use, but some fans have expressed concern that this could lead to figures being easily stolen or damaged in box. This reduction of plastic use also applies to the tray inside the box. Recent releases such as Origin Bumblebee preceded this release with similar open windows. That means the "window" that reveals the toy has no plastic over it. This packaging was designed with a new ethos in mind: minimizing the amount of plastic used to be more eco-friendly. The shape calls back to the War for Cybertron trilogy design featuring a rectangular box with one side set at an angle. The Transformers Legacy packaging represents a radical update to Transformers packaging for (what is presumably) a new "trilogy" of Generations toys. Harness the power of Energon with the Transformers: Legacy Voyager Prime Universe Bulkhead robot toy! Bulkhead may be a gentle giant most of the time, but this Wrecker is always ready to kick some tailpipe.
