A painting based on one of Marcej's layouts: Powermaster Optimus Prime.

Richard Marcej (1961-) is an artist responsible for the layouts of many pieces of Generation 1 package art, including many of the Predacons, Headmasters, Targetmasters, Powermasters, Seacons and Pretenders (the finished, painted artwork was often done by artists in Japan, such as Hidetsugu Yoshioka). He is also entirely responsible for the exclusive "comic book style" battle scene package art found on 1989 toys, such as the Classic Pretenders and the Micromaster Anti-Aircraft Base, as well as the comic-style art for Hasbro's Battle Beasts line, which Takara would use for their Beastformers tie-in series.

While working at Hasbro, he also did work for G.I. Joe, My Little Pony, Inhumanoids and Army Ants, the last of which featured products primarily of his own design.

Marcej graduated from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, and began working for Hasbro in the fall of 1983. He particularly likes to depict the Dinobots.

He was also credited as a "Technical Advisor" on The Transformers: The Movie, the exact details of which are unknown.
