The 1988 Powermaster Optimus Prime box is just stunning.
Bold, dramatic, and full of promise!
We spent a good chunk of our recent minisode talking about just how special this packaging felt.

Huge thanks to the Triple Takeover lads for recording my commissioned episode and nailing everything I feel about Powermaster Optimus Prime. You covered all the points perfectly. So many nostalgic vibes, especially remembering getting it as a Christmas gift when it was first released. Loved it.
