In a good move by Paramount Home Entertainment, they have decided to release the hit movie Transformers on Blu-ray on 8th September in the UK, only 6 days after North America. This is much better than when the film was released on DVD, which took 6 weeks to arrive across the pond.
Play.com have provided the listing, with a RRP of £24.99, but be sure to find it cheaper.
Thanks to forum member SHADOWSBLAZE for the news.
BustaJesse of TFW2005 has managed to get a copy of Transformers: Animated – Transform and Roll Out in Canada before the official release next week on 17th June, and has provide pictures and a general overall of the disc.
Firstly, the cover has been changed slightly, now matching the UK and Australian covers we reported on earlier, bu the back has remained the same. Included inside the box is a leaflet that, advertising the Animated toys and merchandise, but also that an Animated video game is coming in October (more news to come on this soon).
He also provides information on the extra features, the 2 Animated shorts:
The first one is Prime talking to a group of kids. He keeps getting interrupted by one of the kids asking him to transform. The pesky kid is none other than Daniel Witwicky. Eventually Daniel gets all the other kids demanding Prime to transform, which he does to get them to shut up. After Prime turns back Daniel says ” Where does the trailer go when you turn back into a robot?” This one was funny and I enjoyed it.
The next one is weaker, Prowl jumps over the other for Autobots daredevil style (they are in alt mode, like a stunt jump) he can’t quite clear Bumblebee. He falls and BB says some smart remark which I can’t remember. Prowl throws a ninja star at his face and leaves. Thats all I can remember.
According to a post on the forums at DVDTalk, Target stores will be carrying a bonus DVD to accompany the Transformers: Animated – Transform and Roll Out DVD from Paramount Home Entertainment. No details of what is on the DVD have been revealed, except that the DVD will be limited.
The DVD is released on 17th June in North America and will contain the movie special, Transform and Roll Out!.
As we reported last month, Paramount Home Entertainment are releasing Transformers: Animated – Transform and Roll Out, on DVD in the UK on 4th August.
Now they have released the cover to retailers, which is very similar to the North American cover, except that the Transformers: Animated logo and Bumblebee aren’t at an angle and that Ratchet has been moved slightly so that the BBFC and IFCO ratings logos for Britain and Ireland could be added.
The DVD will be PAL, region 2 formatted with a run time of 68 minutes and include some “animated shorts”.
For other territories, the DVD will first be released in North America on 17th June, followed by Australia on 3rd July and Germany on 21st August.
TVShowsondvd.com have received a copy of the back cover art for Transformers Cybertron: The Ultimate Collection on DVD. The image confirms that the set will be full screne, Doby Digital in English Stereo and region 1 formatted, so most international fans will have to wait and see if Paramount Home Entertainment release this set in other parts of the world.
The Ultimate Collection contains all 52 episodes of the series and is out on 22nd July in North America.
TVShowsonDVD.com have received the final boxart for Transformers Cybertron: The Ultimate Collection, a 7 disc DVD set containing all 52 episodes of the series.
The art is the same as before, but without the “Ultimate Fan” text and a change in positioning for the Cybertron logo.
The boxset is due for release on 22nd July in North America from Paramount Home Entertainment. The episodes are presented in full frame with English audio. There are no plans for any extras to be included.
We hope to get some information from Paramount HE on any plans for an international release.
Paramount have finally announced details of Transformers on Blu-ray for 2nd September in North America.
The 2 disc set will contain the movie in anamorphic widescreen (and rumoured to be optimised for Blu-ray) with improved audio tracks over the HD DVD release, with English 5.1 Dolby Digital Plus, 5.1 Dolby TrueHD and 5.1 PCM (Uncompressed) tracks.
Extras are similar to the 2 disc DVD release, with the commentary by Michael Bay (yes, the same one), and on disc 2, many of the same features, but in HD, including The Story Sparks, Human Allies, I Fight Giant Robots, Battleground, Rise of the Robots, Autobots Roll Out, Decepticons Strike, Inside the AllSpark, Transformers Tech Inspector, From Script to Sand: The Scorponok Desert Attack, Concepts, the teaser trailer and theatrical trailers. There will also be BD-Live features, but these haven’t been specified yet, and the same easter eggs.
Paramount Home Entertainment have today announced the release of the first season of Transformers: Animated on DVD in North America for 19th August.
Unfortunately, due to Paramount’s money making strategy, this will only include the episodes from “Home is where the Spark is” to “Megatron Rising Part 2”. You will have to buy the movie special separately. The set will be on 2 DVDs with English Dolby Digital audio.
In Transformers Season One, the Autobots swear to protect the ALLSPARK, their adopted new home Earth, and an 8-year old girl named Sari Sumdac, who not only becomes an honorary Autobot, but also a vital component of the team and the keeper of THE KEY, which serves an emergency power supply and healing source for the Autobots. While Optimus Prime and his team of Autobots are out fighting Earth-bound super villains and basking in their newfound superhero status, the real threat, the Decepticons, are out there regrouping, preparing to return with a vengeance and will stop at nothing to get their hands on the ALLSPARK and THE KEY.
Paramount Home Entertainment have already announced the release of the Transformers: Animated movie on DVD for North America, Germany and Australia, but they have now released the first bits of info for the UK.
All we know so far is that we are getting it on 4th August, 2 months after North America, for a RRP of £12.99, but be sure to look for it cheaper. Other details haven’t been confirmed, but expect it to be the same as the other versions, unless Paramount HE have any other bright ideas.
