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.

Super-God Masterforce DVD is Region 2
Forum member Nemesis Scourge has confirmed that Metrodome’s Super-God Masterforce DVD, released on Monday in the UK, containing all 42 episodes, is REGION 2. A likely reason for this is that Sony BMG is now producing Transformers DVDs in North America (region 1) and does not want Metrodome making their DVDs available for people outside Europe.
DVD Deal of the week
On this slow news day, we have the Deal of the Week. Blitzwing of thetf.net has spotted that Amazon.co.uk is selling Transformers The Movie Reconstructed on DVD for £4.97! So support Metrodome by buying this and Super-God Masterforce that is out on Monday.
