Did Someone Say, Transformers?

[Bonehead15]

yeah i noticed that.

all I really know is G1 too and was looking to get some DVD's...any suggestions, I don't know where to start with all the various "wars", etc.

I recommend Beast Wars, Cybertron,and Armada.

Beast Wars was by far the best non-G1 series. Superior writing and character development makes this series great. Also the few connections to the G1 universe makes it great for old scool G1 fans to enjoy.

Armada is good if you can get past the first 12 to 15 episodes. The overall series is good but the first handful of episodes are just godawful garbage.

I would be no help with this, all I know is the G1 DVD's and the Movie. Everything else to me personally means nothing. Sorry!

yeah i've noticed there are a bunch of different ones on the G1's...which ones are the best to buy? individually, Season 1, 2, etc. or is there a box set besides the one from China?

is this the G1 to get?

I've heard a lot of good things about Beast Wars, I might just check it out.

The only one's out there are the Rhino DVD's here in the U.S. and the box set in China. I heard that they may be re-releasing the G1 Series again because of the Live movie. You can find the Rhino DVD's on ebay, I have the whole series and they are awesome!

Thats fukking beautiful!!



MP Convoy-04~~you are my hero!!!

 

[lcummins]

Ok, just what is this G1 and G2 you speak of??? Generation 1 and 2? Meaning different designs or something? I know absolutely nothing of Transformers... after my time as a kid.

I wish I could help. I don't know anything about the Transformers canon outside G1 and some of G2. I wish the Region 1 G1 Transformers DVDs didn't blows SO HARD! Geez. *sigh*

Maybe we will see some a special feature-laden box set coming soon to coincide with the Transformers movie. Then again maybe not. Stupid Rhino.

Great collection! But I don't see a Masterpiece Megatron there--- I hope that he's on the way...

PLEASE DO!!! You will not be disapointed.

I will dare say that it's even better than G1. The whole series is just awesome. The story editing and writing alone are just as good as the DC Animated series. Since there isn't 200 different characters like in G1, Beast Wars actually had great character development which makes the series my personal favorite series ever. The whole BW crew were old school G1 fans so they treated the series with respect towards the G1 stuff.

I don't want to ruin it for you but GO BUY THE DVDS!! By the start of season 3 you'll know what I mean.

Those be the ones Al, that's a decent price for the whole series too!

Sorry for the late reply man.

If you can Al get the China 20th Anniversary set.

The quality is much better than the Rhino versions and it's also much cheaper. Rhino used really awful prints to make their DVDs but the Chinese set uses "cleaned" cells. The Sony G1 set was suppossed to use these cleaned versions but now the set is in limbo.

Here's an update on the Sony G1 set.

Flint Dile did commentary tracks for about 15 episodes so Sony has already spent money on the set so I think eventually we'll see the set. Maybe when the TF movie comes to DVD?

Thanks! I think I'll buy them individually...just won season one off of the bay. can't wait, haven't seen these since I was 8 i think.

 

[Captain Faramir]

I have the Prowl already since he's the coolest Transformer ever, but where can I get the one with Wheelie? He was my first Transformer (I got it when I was 4 and still have it) but he's not in very good condition; I'd love to get a brand new one. Where can I pick one up for a decent price?

What Region are these Mark?

Very interesting.

i know the Chinese version has the menus in Mandarin Chinese and the books with it are all in Mandarin but which version, Chinese or Rhino, has the better picture quality?

Chinese by far is better.

Ill they are region free. You can usually find a set for about $100 if you look really hard.

Nowadays on ebay they go for over $150. Just a few months ago they were selling for less than $50.
