Does anyone have any scans of the old Aussie TF VHS covers?

I have very fond memories of those VHS covers (ie, "Return Of Optimus Prime", "Dark Awakening"/"The Killing Jar", "Key To Vector Sigma", etc) and would love to see them again.

Not sure if it has the VHS cover images you're after, have a look. :)

It doesn't have the covers I'm after, but thanks for the link anyway. ;)

yeah, those are the UK covers. Although that G2 cover is the same as what we got here. My old TF VHS tapes are all buried in a box somewhere (although I really want to convert some of them to DVD as some TF series have still yet to be released on DVD) - but for example, my copy of "Child's Play" had Mindwipe's box art on the jacket. I have a copy of "The Ultimate Doom" which has an image of the UK TFTM poster all over it. And I used to have "The Rebirth" on VHS and the artwork was like a comic book version of "Heavy Metal War." Weird!! As a kid I soon learnt to never trust the graphics on a Transformer video... I'd always read the text to find out which actual episodes were on the tape! Even some of my Beast Wars Season 2 tapes had images from the wrong eps on the jacket.

The G2 cases were better designed... too bad the actual series sucked.
