I don't usually pay much attention to the foreign text on boxes, but sometimes they catch my attention because they sound funny in Anglophone terms. Armada brought some great Fast Show style phrases ("Con Minimodus Sparkplug.")
Roll Out Command Optimus Prime has a "Punching Action", which translates into German as "Schlagattacke!"

I've seen some amusing foreign phrases on everyday household items. A can of shaving foam has the words printed on it 'Barber Skum' which I think is German. A few Polish words also generate a bit of mild amusement to us English.
