Complete RiD DVD boxset cancelled

Written by admin on October 11, 2007 | DVD,Maximum Entertainment,News,Robots In Disguise |

It’s still listed on several websites, but here’s the official word from Maximum Entertainment’s Colin Lomax on the fate of this set

“As a result of disappointing sales we have decided against continuing with the ‘complete set’ approach and have instead chosen to release the episodes on single DVD’s at a lower price point. Consequently we won’t be including any extras. We may revisit the box set approach when the new Spielberg movie is released but not for now.”

So if anyone was holding off on buying the two individual sets in favour of waiting for this, hold yourself back no longer.

Transformers 2 Disc DVD Menus

Written by Big Bot on October 6, 2007 | DVD,News,Paramount,Transformers movie (2007) |

With the release of Transformers on DVD just 10 days away in North America, the final details on the set are becoming clear. Today, the menus used on both discs of the DVD set have been revealed by Comics Continuum. As is becoming a regular occurrence, Scorponok has been spelt wrong (sigh).

Transformers DVD Deleted Scenes & Easter Eggs

Written by admin on September 27, 2007 | DVD,News,Paramount,Transformers movie (2007) |

With Transformers on DVD only under 3 weeks away from the North American release, more confirmed details are coming on the length of the extra features.

The BBFC, who have to rate all DVD material released in the UK have recently reviewed the extras on disc 2 of Transformers and there seems to be more content than meets the eye (yes I said it). The total length of the extras is 148 minutes and 2 seconds.

Firstly, there are 3 easter eggs, titled “Michael Bay Cameo” (2m29s), “Girl in Dress” (1m57s) and “The Bay-Bot” (14s) and an extra feature not mentioned on the press releases, “Casting Mojo” (1m14s).

The most interesting thing is the possiblity of DELETED SCENES on the disc. There are 10 listed and are summed up below

Sam Picks Up Miles – 28 sec

Maggie and Glen Intro – 1 min 49 sec

Police Station Drug Video – 41 sec

Fig wounded – 48 sec

Fig Death – 1 min 14 sec

Suv – 2 min 22 sec

Big Rhonda – 1 min 17 sec

Hoover Dam – 1 min 9 sec

Proving Lab – 58 sec

Simmon’s President Speech – 23 sec

It isn’t confirmed whether these are on the disc but if Paramount have spent the money to get them rated there is a very good chance.

Transformers Beast Machines: Season 1
Available to buy on DVD
16th July 2007

To coincide with the theatrical, live-action release of Transformers Sony Pictures Home Entertainment presents the animated Transformers Beast Machines, available to own on DVD from 16th July 2007.

Transformers Beast Machines sees the innocent Maximals awaken on their home planet of Cybertron with no memory of how or why they are there. However, instead of being greeted by their own kind, the robotic creatures find themselves pitched in a life-or-death battle with the evil Veicons, ruthless and mindless creatures by the Decepticon Megatron. With a war now being waged, the Maximals must free Cybertron from Megatron and restore it to its former glory before all life is doomed.

Available in two single volume discs or as a complete season double-disc with all 13 episodes, Transformers Beast Machines follows the continuing story of the Transformers, with another race of robot creations battling against the evil Decepticons. With animals replacing the vehicular forms the Autobots take, Transformers Beast Machines takes the age-old battle to a new level.

DVDActive have provided the first review of Metrodome’s Transformers The Movie Ultimate Edition DVD. The article goes into a lot of detail and provides comparisons with Sony BMG’s 20th Anniversary Edition that came out last November in North America.

Overall, Metrodome’s version is praised for the superior, but not perfect, picture whilst Song BMG’s has a better quality of extras.
