SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT USHERS IN A NEW ERA OF TRANSFORMERS-MANIA WITH TRANSFORMERS THE MOVIE 20TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL EDITION DVD
Icons OPTIMUS PRIME and MEGATRON Star in Special Edition DVD to Hit Retail Shelves This Holiday Season
New York, New York, May 30, 2006 – When MEGATRON said, �It�s over Prime,� he had it all wrong. This fall, the home entertainment group of SONY BMG Music Entertainment pulls out all the stops for the 20th Anniversary of the pop culture phenomenon and original theatrical release, TRANSFORMERS The Movie with an explosive special edition DVD.
The new DVD marks the return of the out-of-this world animated big screen bonanza that catapulted the likes of OPTIMUS PRIME, MEGATRON, STARSCREAM, SOUNDWAVE and even the DINOBOTS into pop culture icons. The TRANSFORMERS The Movie 20th Anniversary Special Edition DVD will be packed with premium features and behind-the-scenes footage developed with input by and for TRANSFORMERS fans across the country.
TRANSFORMERS The Movie 20th Anniversary Special Edition DVD will tap into the huge, multi-generational TRANSFORMERS fan base. The special edition DVD will power into retail stores across North America in November 2006 — just in time for the holiday gift giving season.
�The TRANSFORMERS franchise continues to thrive across multiple platforms, and we are excited to celebrate this pop culture phenomenon with a compelling new DVD tribute,� said Jim Wilson, Executive Vice President, General Manager of Home Entertainment for SONY BMG. �By teaming with TRANSFORMERS fans, we have developed an exclusive product with premium content and special features that will be sure to attract fans of all ages.�
The 20th Anniversary Special Edition DVD includes never-before-seen footage, exclusive interviews, interactive games and collectible packaging. The film features the voice of Orson Welles in his final role, as well as stars Eric Idle, Judd Nelson, Leonard Nimoy, Casey Kasem, Robert Stack, John Moschitta, Peter Cullen, and Frank Welker. The DVD also features a winning soundtrack featuring the iconic theme “The TRANSFORMERS” performed by Lion, and the popular “The Touch,” performed by Stan Bush.

To coincide with the special edition DVD release, this fall Hasbro will pay a special tribute to the rich history captured in the saga that is MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE with the TRANSFORMERS Classics line of figures. Available in November 2006, these new figures will feature updated versions of the first generation of TRANSFORMERS (or �G1�), inspired by the look and spirit of the original figures and characters.

Metrodome are planning on releasing all 98 episodes of The Transformers and TFTM Reconstructed in one box set. This set will be exactly the same as the 4 seasonal boxsets and Reconstructed DVD. The only difference is that it will come with a double-sided movie poster featuring the UK and USA artwork. Play.com are listing it for £74.99, due for release on 4th September.
So, if you’ve never bothered picking up any of the sets, here’s your chance to get them in one go. However, you can probably pick up the individual seasons and TFTM for a cheaper overall price.
For all of you who are interested in the Japanese series, Super-God Masterforce is now due for release on 29th May and Victory has a release of 3rd July, but this is likely to change. The set is also probably a 4 disk set with only 32 episodes, according to Chris McFeely.
Metrodome have just sent out this newsletter letting us all know that Transformers The Movie Reconstructed is out on Monday.
