Retailing at $19.99 these box sets blow the Rhino releases of these out of the water.Don`t waste your money on partial sets listed as rare .Those are just garbage peddled by huge used dvd sales companies . If you buy the Rhino releases you end up buy 4 or 5 sets to make up a season . Here with the Shout/Hasbro release you get one whole season in a box set for 1/5 of the price.These are also Superior prints with the missing animation added back into the episodes and interviews with key people who made the series.There`s also rare toy commercials and other goodies in each package .So this 25th anniversary releases are the ones to get until they eventually come out on blu-ray. Don`'t waste your money on other partial sets that are listed as rare .
I bought this dvd set about a month ago because I thought that even if it is animated, the action and adventure would be just as attractive as the live action films. I was right to some extent. I find the animated series more entertaining I guess because it has more characters and more episodes to view. As most people already may know, the show has intelligent robots from another world and earth humans team up against an enemy. I like that because I think humans teaming up with another intelligent creature makes a movie or tv show pretty cool. It's also better than always having evil creatures threatening humans and no good ones to help in the movies. I have no complaints about this item and I recommend it for any Transformer fan of any age.
This is a must have for any diehard Transformers fan, whether you grew up with it or not. I happened to grow up watching Transformers and collecting toys in the 80's, and I am ecstatic to own this and the entire original series DVD's! Note that there are some things very different from today's rebooted (movie) Transformers. First of all, Bumblebee is practically a NOBODY, and a yellow Volkswagon bug. The character that was basically second in command (until Optimus was taken out of commission) was Hot Rod. Second of all, there were NO American car alternate forms. For example, Jazz and Hot Rod were Japanese cars - Datsun, I think, which later was absorbed by Nissan. Regardless, this is what I grew up with. I still like the movies, but this is what I remember and love.
What can I say? It's brand new! It looks good and sounds good.

I grew up watching the transformers and absolutely loved it. I have watched the new movies, and thought both of them were incredible...........but nothing beats the old time cartoons. For those of you who grew up with the transformers this is a must have and it's also a great buy for younger kids who aren't quite old enough for the movies yet. My nephews were not allowed to see the movies, but have been perfectly happy to sit down and watch season 1!
