Format:DVD
Just a warning - this is the CUT version of the film, presumably aimed at the new generation of Transformers fans. I'd suggest getting Maverick's PG rated, uncut version, which I've reviewed rather more positively...

Format:DVD
Transformers Takara dvd comes with 6 episodes and no extras. The main thing that differs TF Takara to the US/UK series is the story line, while some aspects are close to the storylines we all know and love other aspects couldn't be anymore different & wierd. For example Blaster is called Billy, and not to give to much of the story away Soundwave gets destroyed and ressurected, he looks exactly the same yet his new name is "New Soundwave" [how inventive].
If you think your gonna get complicated manga style storylines think again but you will get a lack of emotion which most japanese stories seem to have.
The other down point is the dubbing, it is almost comical. The US/UK series had characters whos voices added to there personality for example Blurr's fast voice etc.
So why did I give this dvd four stars? Simply because the animation is great, loads of action and generally twice the amount of characters to an episode compared to the US/UK series. [Strictly for Transformer fans]

Format:DVD
After a series of mediocre DVD releases in the Transformers series Maverick have finally cracked it. All 16 episodes of the first Transformers series in one box, how can you get better than that? Well extra feature is how, and there are no shortage of those on the forth disc in this set. When compared to the recent Region 1 release of the series Maverick have just blown Rhino (the US Transformers DVD Distributors) out of the water. The two preview episodes, from Maverick upcoming releases The Five Faces Of Darkness and The Rebirth, are superb and the latter really does have some of the most fantastic animation of all the Transformers four series. The character profiles give some interesting little details about all the main characters including who voiced them. The toy adverts included really take you back to your childhood. The Fan Art Gallery is a very nice thank-you to all the fans that have followed Transformers over the years, and there is some very fine artwork included. But the best two features of all are the Japanese trailer for Transformers the Movie and the Bonus features for completing the Transformers Quiz. I won't ruin what the bonus features are, but I am sure you wont be disappointed. The Japanese trailer however is NOT the Japanese trailer at all. It's the 4-minute promotional film used to sell Transformers the Movie before completion. It features footage not shown in the movie, including Ultra Magnus in a different colour. My one and only gripe with this release is that a few of the episodes have the series two introduction, featuring characters that are not even in the series yet, instead of the series one intro. This is just a small gripe and doesn't really have any effect on the viewing of the series, just one of those things that annoys nit-picking fans. Overall Maverick have done a super job with this DVD set, let's just hope they keep it up with their future Transformers releases.

Birthday Gift
I bought this as a birthday gift for my friend's 5 year old son and I have been told that it was a great hit! Delivery was prompt, as ever and have had no problems at all.

Transformers...robots more than meets the eye.
Firstly, this type of animation is not great for developing minds, too many scene changes typical of japanese style cartoons. Read more

It's better than all other TF Japanese anime out there
Okay, the dubbing is bad. But it's so bad, it's hilarious! Now that we're over that, let's move on:
The animation is actually very good. Read more
