What is the best piece of box art?

I'm not sure if this falls under the toy catagory but thought I would ask the question. Which of many pictures that have been featured on transformers boxes over the years is the best. I have always liked the picture of defensor that came on protectbot box set.

The reason galavtron is covered with slime is beacause the picture is supposed to be from after transformers the movie and at the beging of season 3 of the animated series where he was blasted out of unicron to planet of hot plasm. I forget what the name of planet is but that is what the picture is supposed reprasent.
