Today marks the official release of Sony BMG’s Transformers The Movie 20th Anniversary Special Edition DVD in North America. The 2 disk set features the original full screen and cropped widescreen editions of the film and a whole disk of extras.
Full details can be found at Sony BMG’s Official Site.
Earlier this year, a DVD listing on Play.com appeared for Transformers Cybertron Volume 2. This was marked for a UK release on 6th November 2006 (today) but there has been no further news or listings from other stores of this DVD. It would be safe to assume the DVD has been cancelled.
IGN have reviewed Sony BMG’s Transformers The Movie 20th Anniversary Edition DVD and seem to love every bit of it.
Probably the most interesting bit of the review is the comparisons with Rhino’s DVD. It clearly shows that a good portion has been cut off around the sides for the full frame (the way it was meant to be watched) version.
Completing Disc One is the restoration comparison – a welcome addition that should be included on every new and upcoming DVD release (and especially re-release) – and the preview footage from the 2007 live-action Transformers film. Unfortunately, none of the shots elaborate on the glimpses we’ve thus far seen, and in fact only repeat content made available on IGN and elsewhere on the web. But the cooperation/participation of Michael Bay, Steven Spielberg and Paramount is a great compliment to the producers of this DVD.
The full review can be read here.
The cover art of Metrodome’s Transformers Victory has already been revealed, but Metrodome have released a more finished version of the cover.
It matches up with the Headmasters and Masterforce sets, so will look good on your shelf. The only change that will be made is the BBFC logo in the bottom left corner will not be PG but U.
The British Board of Film Classification has finally rated Metrodome’s Transformers Takara Volume 3 – Victory DVD. The set has received a U (Universal) rating, unlike Headmasters and Super-God Masterforce, which received PG ratings. There is 805m 24s worth of material, or over 13 hours.
The 4 disk set contains 32 episodes (There are 8 episodes per disk) with commentary on episodes 1, 16 and 32 from Chris McFeely and is released on 26th December in the UK.
The full details, including the translated episode titles, can be found here.
TFW2005 have reviewed Sony BMG’s Transformers The Movie 20th Anniversary Edition DVD, due for release in North America (Region 1) on 7th November. Overall, it seems Sony BMG have put the effort in to produce a quality DVD.
