Summary: Oh YEAH!
Review: This is a great DVD collection. Some people are complaining about the sound, so I felt compelled to write this review.There are 2 Audio channels, the 5.1 has added sound effects and [junk] some people don't like. The stereo is the original soundtrack. Press the "audio" button on your remote to check out the difference. Do it during explosions to see what I'm talking about!!!

Summary: The Transformers are good
Review: I like the Transformers. The good ones are cars and the bad ones are guns and tape recorders, but some of the good ones are also dinosaurs, which makes no sense, if you think about it. Shouldn't the dinosaurs be evil? And the Constructicons were villains. Is construction equipment inherently evil? I thought urban renewal, for which some construction is generally necessary, was a laudable goal. They should have made some plumbing-based Transformers with names like Upper Decker and Pipe. They could have been both good *and* evil. I think you know what I'm talking about.

Summary: An enjoyable trip back in time!
Review: Thank you Rhino for releasing this boxed set of Transformers season 1. It evoked fond memories of my childhood growing up in the 80's. I can remember coming home from school to watch the Decepticons beat the [stuffing] out of the Autobots.....you can see which side I prefered! But seriously, if you were a fan of the Transformers and owned many of the toys like I did (mine are still in the garage in perfect condition) then this is the ultimate DVD for you to purchase! The sound quality is superb (surround sound) despite the fact that did not exist in the mid 80's. In my opinion, every guy ages 21-30 (who grew up in this time period) should own this set because lets face it....next to GI JOE, the transformers were the ultimate toys to own back then! Boy, it must [stink] to grow up now a days without good toys such as the transformers!! ha ha speaking of GI JOE...when will Rhino release that box set. Lets just hope RHINO does not drag their feet releasing the 2nd season...after that season, things got dredful thanks to the movie! purchase your copy today!

Summary: Blast from the Past! And then some
Review: This DVD boxed set is incredible! Ditto to whatever everyone else just mentioned, but I'd like to also mention that they added new stuff like blur effects, b-clip animations that were missing, and overall enhancements to make this the best Transformers it can be! Strangely enough, the comparisons were kinda awkward at times where for example, one scene with Dinobots were breathing fire but the new digital side didn't have the fire?? I think it was just a goof up, or they didn't explain it, but otherwise this is THE coolest cartoon series ever and Rhino has done their homework! No more constant shaky-cam! lol. Can't wait to watch it all.

Summary: The Greatest
Review: I have got to say that this is the best collection of Transformers T.V. shows I have seen in a long time. I have looked everywhere for the first season and couldn't find it. I watched this show when I was a kid and I am glad to own it so my kids can watch it and see what I liked as a kid. I can't wait for the complete set of all the T.V. shows to be released. I will own them all. A MUST BY FOR THE TRANSFORMERS FAN!!!

Summary: "Autobots, Transform and Roll Out!!!"
Review: Rhino has finally come through with a proper DVD release of one of the greatest cartoons of all time, The Transformers. Here you have the first 16 episodes on three discs, plus a forth disc of extras. The discs come packaged in a terrific looking silver case. Unfortunately, getting the discs OUT of said case is quite a challenge...to say the least. But once you do, you will be blown away by the excellent picture and sound quality of these digitally-restored episodes. The colors are rich and vibrant; the dialogue and background music crystal clear; the many laser shots and explosions ROCK! The extras are exceptional as well - especially the clips from the Japanese version of the show. This set is definitely a MUST BUY for any animation fan. ...So, Rhino, when will Season 2 be available? ...And how about G.I. Joe? ...He-Man?? ...ThunderCats???...

Summary: Buy It! That's All I Have To Say.
Review: This is truly one of the greatest and successful ideas that ever appealed to the intuitive minds of kids during the 80's. The cartoon itself was smart as well as enjoyable with it's futuristic/sci-fi savvy accompanied by the humor, drama and moral issues that could appeal to kids. Now being older, the cartoon brings great nostalgia. I just received my copy of Season 1 on DVD, and just like the previous DVD releases, the picture quality is great with clarity, and the sound is excellent considering where the original tapes must have been in storage archives. Everything is mastered and done right. This is well worth your money with decent animated menus. And the extras in the disc set are always an extra bonus. The box even came with copies of two animation cells and a small booklet with the cartoon descriptions. You want to know one of the many cool features not mentioned?
They even include the announcer scenes between the aired commercials with "We Now Return To The Transformers". For those of us that require every bit of replicating those wonderful Transformers moments all those after-school afternoons. If you watched and enjoyed The Transformers (Generation 1), do not pass this one up. And I hope the success will follow through with all the other seasons. If you don't get your copy, you WILL regret it as you contemplate.

Summary: Worst DVD I've Ever Seen
Review: I was so jazzed about this DVD set, but I'm VERY sad to say it terrible. For some reason, the DVD editors used an old work print of the show, refite with animation and sound glitches that were not there in the broadcast version (nor in the VHS versions). There are missing cels; characters just floating in the air, mouths just hanging open when characters speak instead of moving, things that are supposed to disappear or explode AND DON'T!! There are missing sound effects on the mono track, and the sound effects that are there are muffled. The fake 5.1 track is slightly better, although the theme song sounds worse on it. Unfortunately, the 5.1 track has some new sound effects added that are extremely out of place.
The "extras" disc is the most baffling. Most of it is just a psychotic mess of rejected animation takes. But the REALLY odd part is where they show a side-by-side comparison of the work print and the aired version. They show you how the scenes were SUPPOSED to look without the errors! The on-air print looked a little bit more faded, but it would have been a lot better than the glitchy "remastered" work print.
Stick with the old "Heroes/Villians" DVDs and VHS until Rhino Video fixes it up.

Summary: This boxset is more much more than meet the eyes!
Review: I am a oversea TF fans at Hong Kong Asia. I love Transformers since childhood. The superb quality at picture and sound, the nice packaging, this boxset surely do worth more than it's listing price. Not to mention that special disc 4 which contain clips form Botcon2001, which means a lot to a oversea fans such as I.
Precisely, this Boxset is a MUST for everyone who claim to be a TF Fans!
