Transformers RID – Ultimate Collection coming to DVD (again)

Play.com and Amazon.co.uk have updated their listings with a date for Transformers RID – Ultimate Collection on DVD. The set is due out on 1st December 2008 under the Jetix brand. It will be a 6 disc set, formatted as Region 2 PAL and have a RRP of £19.99 but Play.com have it for £12.99. Given the price, no extras are expected.

This set was originally announced to come out in September 2004, but was cancelled due to poor sales of the two individual sets. It seems the reissued sets, released last October, have sold well enough to justify this to be rescheduled.

Written by Big Bot on June 22, 2008 | Animated,DVD,News,Paramount | Tags: , ,

For all UK readers who are sick of needless delays, price rises and excuses from major international companies, it’s time to get your pitch forks out again. Paramount Home Entertainment have announced that Transformers: Animated Season One will be released in the UK on 20th October! This is over 2 months after the North American release of 19th August.

Reasons for this delay aren’t known, they probably don’t care about us…

First Look at Animated: Transform & Roll Out DVD

Written by Big Bot on June 14, 2008 | Animated,DVD,News,Paramount | Tags: , ,

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.

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.

Animated Season One coming soon from Paramount Home Entertainment

Written by Big Bot on May 28, 2008 | Animated,DVD,News,Paramount | Tags: ,

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.
