ENI have received covers for 2 upcoming Transformers DVDs from Paramount Home Entertainment. These include Transformers: Animated Season Two, containing all 13 episodes, and being released on 6th January 2009, and Transformers Energon The Ultimate Collection, which apparently contains all 52 episodes, and is released on 16th December 2008.
The Animated DVD contains a gallery and few mini featurettes, whilst the Energon has no extra features.
We hope to have some unwatermarked artwork soon.
Following on from the North American release on Tuesday, the UK can today sample the Transformers: Animated action on their Nintendo DS.
Look out for platforming action with driving segments for all four Autobots (minus Ratchet). The game is rated 7+ by Pegi, which means it is only sensible for children of ages 7 and up.
Titan Magazine’s first Transformers: Animated comic is out today, exclusively in the UK. The issue contains an 11-page story titled “Burnout”, and introducing a brand new character in the Animated universe, Sideswipe. The issue is written by Simon Furman, who has also commented on the release on his blog, with art drawn by John McCrea, and colour by Kat Nicholson.
There’s also the usual puzzles, competitions, letters and free gift.
Good and bad news Aussie fans, Paramount are going to continue releasing Transformers: Animated on DVD in volumes in Australia, with Volumes 2 and 3 completing the first season. This is good for people who bought the first volume, but bad for most of who want full season sets.
Like the first volume (Blast from the Past), volume 2 will be subtitled Lost and Found”, whilst volume 3 is called “Megatron Rising”. It isn’t clear which volume will contain 4 or 5 episodes.
Transformers: Animated Volume 2 – Lost and Found (R4 Australia) – 29th December 2008
Transformers: Animated Volume 3 – Megatron Rising (R4 Australia) – 15th January 2009
Be sure to keep up-to-date with out Transformers DVD section.
Confirmation is a brilliant thing. It puts needless rumours in their place. The good news today is that Transformers: Animated has officially been picked up for another 13 episodes by Cartoon Network.
Season 3 will start airing in Spring 2009, and will probably finish just before the Revenge of the Fallen premieres.
Entertainment Rights again will be selling the show rights to international broadcasters, with many already signing up for more Transformers goodness.
