Here are the entries for the Make Your Own Hasbro Box Contest, unfortunately we only got 5 entries. I really expected more since this is something that doesn't require spending any money or a lot of time. Buster Dragon by Epyon: Liger Zero Barrage by Darth Spectre: Red Ultrasaurus by Grim: Hydrer by Jaff: Desert Storm Liger by Rikali the Midnight Fury: The Mods will vote and we shall announce a winner within the next 3 days. We don't have a prize to give away since this was such a small contest but you'll have bragging rights.  -Phenotype |

Mind you I went for most official looking box and most real looking Zoid in this little review, not best looking box which is Hydrer personally... Now for my review of terror!  Hmmmm...As good as Hydrer is, the clear use of Epyon parts is a dead givaway of it's fakeness. Buster Dragon uses different text, looks way to choppy, and the lightning is off. The Desert Storm Liger is way to much for a Hasbro box, Hasbro's box pics are far more basic, it's too unbelievable. Liger Zero Barrage is good, but I believe I can spot some Tallgeese parts in there, so no go. Now Red Ultra is gonna raise some hell if let loose on the net, to me it and Hydrer are the most official looking. So in conclusion... Most Official: Tie between Red Ultra and Hydrer Best Looking: Hydrer |

Of course you're entitled to your opinion and I'm not trying to tell you otherwise, just so you know, the reaosn Jaff's box has a Tomy logo on it is that he's in the UK and Tomy distributes Zoids over there, in Hasbro-style boxes oddly enough.

Really? I didn't know that the UK boxes were different. Well then it's a tie for most official looking box then, and he still get's best looking as well. I'll have to alter my last post then.

Jeez these are awesome. I only wish I had Photoshop. What you guys pull off with it is amazing. Every one of these is way better than mine.
I do think that what I did was pretty good though, using what I had.
And that red ultra is sweet! Teh box looks totally real! Its crazy. The Hyrdra is masterfully done aswell, and the Desert Storm Liger looks great. I just don't think Hasbro has the skill to make something that incredible.
Great job to all the entrants.

The Hydrer looks like the most believable box to me.

Wow, all are very good looking... great stuff!
Now for my observations about them, which means little having not entered my own. >.< Yayness. XD
Buster Dragon:
A good premise to go with a recolor and weapons add on an existing model. The naming also does well for the model. The faction symbol puzzles me a ton. x.x
As was said, the image is choppy, but without an advanced photoediting package, it is an excellent effort!
Liger Zero Barrage:
Another good premise since Hasbro released the LZ Schneider pack, who's to say they wouldn't release another combo, particularly with a new CAS? This model looks rocking!!! And it could almost pass as the Quad Liger... now that would have been a hoot.
One possible sticking point is the hard line on the "energy jet" across the claws at the bottom of the box... some smudging, blending, or use of a variable transparency in the layer would have been good there.
Darth Specter, do you have a more thorough image review of that custom posted online? Because I for one would LOVE to check it out more closely.
Red Ultrasaurus:
Just feeding fuel to the fire here, huh? XD Overall, really good. Giving people what they WANT to see adds a whole lot to the effect and helps people believe the entire premise.
The only points I have is that some of the color managing is kind of blotchy and clearly uneven, particularly on the bottoms of the gun barrels, neck, and legs. Also, the "red Ultrasaurus" should likely read "Red Ultrasaurus".
Hydrer:
Niiiiiiiiiice! Great model, great box execution! The angled smaller image on the side is a great touch that would be a real doubt killer! >.<
What I would question is the basis off of a Shield Liger chassis, I would expect a totally new body and leg construction for such a radical new model. But then again, who knows?
Desert Storm Liger:
Hahahaha!!! Great pun!!! I really like the custom model, it looks very good. Another one that I would like to see more closely. ^___^
Odd points in the image that I detect are with the text seeming to stand away from the box surface, and the "energy jet" hard line again. Some smudge or transparency work there would have helped a lot. Also, the over all blurriness of the model itself compared to the sharpness of box detail might give away that it is a composite image.
- Personal Picks -
Best Box:
Hydrer!!!
Fave Model:
LZ Barrage!!!
Again, great work everyone!!! ^___^

Did it ever occur to you that maybe the reason that there were only five entreis is because some of us [myself included] HAVE NO ART PROGRAM BETTER THAN PAINT AND HAVE TO BUM SIGS OFF OF OTHER PEOPLE  Oh, yeh and great entries to those of you that have a good art program. *ish SO jelous* Oh, yeah and I like Liger Zero Barrage the best,close second is Hydra though! |

Well I have the program at school and I could of done it, but I was so busy with completing my calendar project in there (cause I was absent for a few days) and I didn't have time to do it. And I was going to do my Lunar Liger too.  |
