Summary: Good collection..pleased...but......
Review: This is a good collection to have. I'm glad that The Transformers are being re-produced on DVD. The only thing I can say that this collection could have been re-mastered better than it is, but it's o.k.There are a few errors on some of the episodes like in Heavy Metal War. But if you are a hard core Transformer fan, then get this collection.

Summary: More than meets the eye!
Review: It is this one along with spiderman, the cartoons which I was brought up with and i can say that even now they look terrific! The good against the evil and whoever cooperates better with his fellow fighters wins! I think it is an ideal series for kids which does not only include action that children want to see but also promotes the idea that good must prevail and that cooperation is necessary to success! It has very nice characters and... I am very happy it is on DVD. I am sure that many people will honour it by buying it!

Summary: Transformers Season 1
Review: This is an excellent boxed set of the first season. Its great to see the episodes with such clarity and viewability. However, I don't like the extra "explosive" sounds Rhino has added to it and there are numerous amounts of mistakes that are not present in the original videos. All-and-all its a great set to have and I hope Rhino takes care to not make so many mistakes in the upcoming season sets.

Summary: Transformers season1 DVD BOXSET!
Review: Great to see this cartoon marvel back where it should be... in the stores' & on the internet for sale.
I'm an avid fan of this 80's series and to see it on DVD was fantastic as DVD is versatile, safe over that of VHS and a great medium for permanent archiving of video, not so with VHS as the passage of time can cause problems as fungus on the tape, which can screw up your VCR.
Picture and sound rendition is excellent! does justice to DVD.
The 3 star rating is because i have seen some errors that have not been there before the advent of transformers on DVD. For example episode "Heavy Metal Wars" Starscream notes to Megatron that his boast of defeating the autobots is vaguely familiar. The voice is starscream but the character is Skywarp!
RHINO what did U do to this season, YES ITS GREAT to see this cartoon series on an excellent medium for viewing video. But reading other reviews i went back and watched season 1 and sorry to say but errors popped up more as i watched. The before mentioned title, "Heavy Metal War" has been BUTCHERED! A list of errors in "heavy Metal War" 1. Beginning of the episode megatron upon landing to issue a challenge the scene changes for an instant to the gladitorial fight near the end of the episode. 2. The dinobots confront the constructions', Snarl whips his tail and a bolt hits Scrappers shoulder, here is the mistkae NO! smoke rises from the impact point? for some time. 3. During the gladitorial fight Megatron transports out of the way of a flying boulder, but he still remains there after the boulder impacts with the ground & breaks in two. 4. At the end a holgraphic projection gives the Dinobots the upperhand against devatator, they advance and shots of each dinobot is shown firng upon Devastator, but no fire emerges from Slug's nostrils? These errors are not there on the previously released versions i have and are a result of the work done for the DVD version. there are other errors in other episodes. But if you haven't seen transformers in years' you probably won't recognise them. RHINO! for the following seasons show us more dedication to the creative process and don't make obvius mistakes... HOPE THIS WAS USEFUL!

Summary: ¿Transformers Season One¿ DVD ¿ Far From Perfect!
Review: It seems every time I read a review on Rhino's Transformers DVD, it's always as though they did a fantastic job - this is far from being true. There is always a tremendous amount of quality and motion lost when analog is transferred to digital. Errors: First off there are many new errors that were not in the original analog masters. In "Heavy Metal War" Iron Hide transforming is backwards. There is also a serious digital glitch! There are also scenes which have "digital pauses" and even incorrect colors that were not in the original masters that we grew up with. Colors: Some of the colors like the oranges and greens appear to be crisper, but Rhino overdid it enhancing "fake" digital color which results in a quick-buck production. Green water when it was originally blue, yellow-greenish sky's when it was originally whiteish, and orange rocks when they were originally brown - I cannot understand why people think they did such a wonderful job? Sound: Amateur mixing and no compression, vocals are at times too loud or sound effects such as explosions, too low or poorly enhanced. They also added in sound effects at parts where there were none originally, such as with the intros and bumpers, and they do NOT sound like anything from the original sound. Overall this DVD is nice for those who want an inexpensive, digital collection of the original Season One Transformers, but don't expect it to surpass the originals.

Summary: Bad sound mix, otherwise perfect.
Review: Let me say, the 5.1 mix was a bad idea to begin with, and it was very poorly executed. Few episodes have a balanced sound mix. One might assume you can resolve the problem by switching to the stereo track, right? Wrong. The stereo track is simply the same 5.1 track down-mixed, so imbalances still exist. It's horribly unprofessional. Rhino, get someone who understands how to mix a soundtrack for Season Two... PLEASE. As for all the mistakes in the animation, people need to seriously lighten up. New mistakes exist because the source material was NOT the same as the original broadcasts, and these are few and far between. Old mistakes are still present, just as I remembered them. Blue Primes, clone Bumblebees, and clone/mis-colored Starscreams, Thundercrackers and Skywarps. Be forewarned, the animation can range from Sorta Okay to Amazingly Bad. It's much worse than I remember, and that's not Rhino's fault. In the end, I'm still glad I bought it. Much of the cartoon is just as I remember and it's a lot of fun to watch. If you're going to knock Rhino for anything, make it the sound. No excuse for those horrible mixes. It often distracts from the show unfortunately. *sigh* No excuse.

Summary: Feels like it was just yesterday...
Review: I thought about ordering this DVD set for some time but had held off. I thought it was rather pricey. Along came by birthday, though, and I decided to buy myself a little something.... I forgot how good this show really was. It was incredibly loyal to the each of the characters and everything at this point. The voice actors are an all star cast as well. The remastering job was very good when you consider what they had to work with to start. They cleaned up a lot of noise and dirt off of the film and made the colors a lot more vivid and clear. There are some occasional sound effects added, but they are not intrustive and not that frequent, really. A couple of scenes in "Heavy Metal War", the last episode on the disc, turned out pretty poor, but otherwise they did an awesome job restoring this first season run, even including the original opening of the show and the commercial bumpers. I am still annoyed by the constant coloring mistakes made by the original animators of the show. I guess it's part of the charm, and it's probably best that Rhino left them like they were. I remember these coloring mistakes in the original series just as well, and it even bothered me back then in 1984-85 that Sunbow couldn't seem to tell the difference between Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp most of the time (though as the series goes on past the first 5 or 6, they DO get better about it...save for the part in Heavy Metal War where there are two Starscreams side by side, one of which was supposed to be Skywarp). I wish Rhino would take out the stupid cartoon openings on their videos and DVDs, though. While I know they are mostly a children's video company, with things like Transformers and GI Joe, they are mostly catering to adults...adults who don't want to sit through a cartoon rhino dressed like Elvis at the start of each disc while we wait for the menu to appear. Overall, if you grew up with this original series of Transformers, as I did, you will very much enjoy this set. I enjoyed every minute of it, and can hardly wait until late November now, where Rhino releases the first half of Season 2 in a box set. The second half of Season 2 follows in the Spring. So if you are waiting like I did, stop waiting now. After watching this, I felt like a kid again, and you will too.
