Not sure if it has the same impact today, but at the time the Platoon poster was significantly memorable and often parodied.
At that, Travolta in a white suit striking that weird pose for Saturday Night Fever.
Jaws
The iconic poster for ROBOCOP pretty well sold the movie.
I’m afraid you’ve got it backwards.
The Brothers Hildebrant poster was the later poster. I was there when the film premiered, and the original poster* was the Tom Jung poster that you’ve indicated as a “later” poster. I was surprised when the Hildebrant poster showed up later that summer with its more colorful image and “softer” contours.

Back in the 1960s, Forrest J. Ackerman’s Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine had a recurring feature called "Carry on Monsters, with publicity pictures of momnster bearing fainted women in their arms
It’sd worth pointing out that, even though the posters depict the robots carrying fainted women in their arms, they don’t do so in the movioes. But both Robby and Gort carried [I[MEN* in their arms.
And DEAD men, at that
