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.
This DVD is formatted in region 0 but requires a PAL DVD Player.

Maverick’s UK Transformers Season One Box Set News
TheTransformers.Net have been sent a list of confirmed features for the season one boxset, due out in the UK later this year. You may notice that there is a fan art gallery listed among the features, and some of you already knew this. The art for this gallery is being supplied by TheTransformers.Net and all of the superb artists that have sent in their work, including the artwork submitted to this site for the Nucleon Quest Superconvoy competition.
More features are being investigated and we’ll have word for you on that as soon as they are confirmed.
Here’s what’s definately confirmed:
3 original scripts (More Than Meets The Eye Parts1-3)
Bumpers for original series, generation II, Takara, season three and four.
Character profiles
Classic quotes
Original synopsis
Five Faces Of Darkness Part One
The Rebirth Part One
Detailed episode guide
Fan art gallery
Also here is the artwork for the volume 3 DVD due out June 10th:
Transformers The Movie cover art revealed!
We have here the first pictures of the Transformers the Movie DVD region 2 cover art. This artwork comes complete with a chapter list insert and the list of special features.
Notice as well the original video cover art from the video gems vhs release. This was requested by the Transformers fans who frequent this site and the artwork was donated by TheTransformers.Net to Maverick for use on the cover!
This cover is for you fans with our help…
Features:
Special introductory footage
Four Soldiers from the Sky Takara episode (as featured on the VHS)
Original theatrical Trailer
Music Picture Gallery
The detail on the release:
It seems that the widescreen version is not after all going to be on this DVD, but let’s concentrate on what will be on here. The introductory footage comes from the BBC and their ‘I love 1984’ documentary. Some of this can be seen in our video clips section now.
There is also a music picture gallery featuring some new NRG tracks. This will light any Transfans darkest hour. The one track is called Aw Shit and is based on our favourite foul mouthed human Spike.
The only hold up on the release now is the wait for the 5:1 digital sound to arrive from the US, with a date of 19 November now looking realistic.
What may not look realistic though are plans for the season 1 box set for the 31st of December! There are still thoughts of an exclusive Transformer toy accompanying this box set… we’ll see.
You’ll notice that all of the artwork on the DVD comes from the Marvel comic/poster adaption of Transformers the Movie, as supplied by TheTransformers.Net
