Summary: Great cartoon
Review: This is a great cartoon. It was one of my favorites as a kid (along with millions of other kids I'm sure) I bought it the day it came out and just finished watching it. It has all the shows from the first season, perfectly remastered-encluding the comerical bumpers. It also has a bonus disk with out-takes(a cartoon outtake??) and other infomational stuff. I recomend this to anyone who was/is a transformers fan or a Japanese Anime fan. Now if Rhyno would just release G.I.Joe!

Summary: Phenomenal Sound and Picture Quality!
Review: I was a tremendous Transformers fan in the 1980s and I loved the first two seasons of the series. When I found out that the entire first season of the Transformers was being released on DVD, I was absolutely elated. I can tell you that the sound on these DVDs is absolutely incredible. Of course, the original episodes were not in surround sound as the technology didn't exist in the mid 80s, but the DVD enhancement is amazing. There are crashes of thunder, claps of sound, and tremendously powerful blasts that make these episodes even more enjoyable to watch, nostalgia not withstanding. The picture enhancement is equally enjoyable. You really do need to watch these in full 5.1 surround sound mode for the ultimate enjoyment of this boxed set! The colors are much more vibrant and the images are crisp and clear. I also highly recommend the added features on the last DVD. My only request to Rhino is that you please not drag your feet on releasing the second season. After that, take all the time you want. The series went far downhill after the movie changed everything.

Summary: EVEN BETTER THE SECOND TIME AROUND
Review: I just watched the box set all the way through, and wow,it instantly took me back to 1984, sitting on my livingroom floor with a bowl of Boo-berry cereal in hand. The digital remaster is amazing, and yet it leaves in some of the minor foibles of 80's animation; such as mis-colored items and off sync voice overs. But thats what made the show fun, catching the mistakes!
I would definitely recommend getting the box set over the three individual discs. The fourth disc is a treasure trove of goodies, including an entire episode script, remastering comparison, and two documentaries on Bot-Con, the annual Transformers convention. The Bot-Con material is fun to watch, just to be able to know that you WEREN'T the wierdest little kid to love the show!

Summary: Great DVD!
Review: This was amazing. Me and my friend spent a whole nght on disc 1, remembering our child hood and having fun watching our favorite cartoon. The bonus features were rather dissapointing to us, though the Japanese footage beit repepetive, was still fun. The episodes were great! I really hope season 2 comes out as well. Well worth the price.

Summary: Weird
Review: I was quite amazed with this set until I actually started watching some of the episodes. I have every episode on tape and I can't understand for the life of me why the sound (and the picture in some cases) is better on VHS versions. If anybody else who has both also observes this or can explain it, I would like to know. The animation cells are really cool though. Does every one come with rumble and starscream or are there different ones?

Summary: Autobots Transform!!!
Review: I never thought this day would come. Transformers was one of my favorite cartoons when I was young along with He-Man and G.I. Joe, and now I am able to own and watch the complete first season anytime!! This DVD box set is the way to go. The packaging is excellent, you get a fourth bonus DVD packed with extras along with the boxed set, so if you buy all three DVD's seperately you will miss out on this. Also, you get two animation cells which are really cool. I have absolutely no complaints about this superb collection of classic cartoon history. The boxed set far surpassed all of my expectations and I am more than happy with this product. Hopefully we will be seeing more boxed sets so we can collect all of the episodes. If you don't already have it, get the Transformers movie too. I highly recommend this product to any Transformers fans, you can also introduce a piece of your childhood history to your kids, nephews, or anyone that has never seen the classic Transformers. This is the way to go, so what are you waiting for? Transform and get yourself this boxed set, you will be glad you did.

Summary: The greatest toy line ever.
Review: I have to take this time to express my gratitude to Rhino Entertainment. Before they got hold of the Transformers episodes, I had to rely on my old tapes of scattered episodes and the old "rent from an obscure video store and copy" method. I am what would be commonly called a Transformers fanatic. I have over 350 Transformers, from the first series that debuted in 1984 through the current RID incarnation. The originals will, however, always hold a certain magic. To combine the Transformers, what I feel is the greatest toy line ever, and DVD, which is the best thing to happen to animation in a long time, is a move without parallel. I count the days till this DVD (with all it's fantastic extras) is in my eager, collecting hands. To all the TF fans out there, check out the new comic too, it's rockin'!
