Amazon.co.uk Review

The Transformers series (Tatakae Cho Robot Seimetai Transformers, or Fight Super Living Robots Transformers) was written in America, but animated in Japan. Based on a line of robots from Takara that was licensed to Hasbro, Transformers sparked a craze for metamorphic toys in the mid-80s. Each robot-character could be reconfigured to form a car, a tank, a plane, and so on. The 24 episodes in this collection, which ran between 1985 and 1986, conclude the second season and lead up to Transformers 2006. Each episode forms a self-contained story, with little in the way of larger character arcs or plot developments tying them together. Although the cast has expanded, the Autobots remain the good guys who defeat the bad guy Decepticons, and no-one expects anything else. Although the character designs and animation are Japanese, the direction is pure American saturday morning: instead of creating effective transitions, the filmmakers just cut to a shot of the logo--a standard practice in Hanna-Barbera kidvid. Websites, role-playing games, fan fiction, and a brisk commerce in the original toys have kept Transformers alive in the hearts of their fans. But like Robotech, Transformers will appeal most strongly to nostalgic adults who watched the show as kids. --Charles Solomon

The original Transformers series from the eighties in itself is very great and entertaining.
The DVD release is very good, brilliant picture, crisp sound. The menues are well animated, with the original theme playing in the background.
For this a price a must-go for all Transformers fans.

What can I say about the Transformers. Well they were my favourite cartoon in the 80s and as an 8 year old boy I couldn't think of anything cooler, than a robot that could transform into tanks, cars, planes, etc.

During the summer holidays I used to get up before 8oclock just so I could watch the cartoon series on 'Wackaday' but I still managed to miss lots of them.

This box set and the two previous ones and one to come are my chance as an adult to watch the cartoon series that I so loved and be able to see it all in order, with the story line progressing episode by episode as it was originally intended.

If you remeber the transformers at all from your childhood, then I recommend you go out and buy this now! You won't be dissapointed! The series has a gripping quality that makes you want to see each next episode and has great storylines, which take the characters within throughout earth and the galaxy.

If I could i'd rate this 10 stars but there is only 5 maximum so that will have to suffice!

Sometimes you re-watch programs from your youth and it ruins the whole experience and your memories as it all looks sooo dated. It happened to me watching Blake Seven where now it looks like a pile of polysterene, The Last Starfighter film that I watched a million times when I was a kid and loved now looks like it was filmed in my garden.
This isn't the case with the animated transformers series. As it's animated it hasn't dated and after watching the latest transformers film (and enjoying it) I bought all the box sets of the animated series as I was somewhat distressed by the inaccuracies of the characters in the film - come on we all KNOW that Soundwave was a ghetto blaster...not some snakey type thing!, Bumble Bee was a VW Beetle - NOT some heavy slow American Muscle car and Megatron transformed into a gun originally! I have a lot of episodes to get through but have thoroughly enjoyed the ones I have seen thus far and brings back memories of the transformer toys I once had.
These box sets are very good value - if you liked it first time round and think the films weren't true to your memories - buy them, you won't be disappointed.
