After 25 years, the original Transformers animated series is available for the first time in the United States in a single, complete box set. This set was released a few months ago as an online exclusive, but it is now available (or it will be in four hours) at retail for the first time ever. It seems like every other country in the world has gotten their hands on a complete series box set, but now we can also have one...that is a Region 1 release and not a set imported from China! The set includes all 98 episodes of the Transformers in broadcast and chronological orders. The reason I say both orders is some episodes were rearranged in the intended chronological order while the first half of season two is assembled in the broadcast order. This set also features a huge amount of bonus content. The content includes several documentaries, a fan made film, original toy commercials from the 1980's, the Secret Files of Teletran 2 segments, a round table discussion with the original voice cast, and rare PSA's. There is also a sweet collectible booklet inside the box.
If you have the $150.00 to purchase this set (and if you don't already own the Rhino releases or you don't plan on purchasing the new DVD sets individually), this is a great set to pick up. It contains all of the newly remastered episodes from Shout! Factory, which includes the restored and corrected first season.
