Summary: This is one of the Best Transformers episodes ever!
Review: This is one of the Best Transformers episodes of the series! This particular episode takes place after the Return of Optimus Prime two-parter. It is also the entire version of Season 4 of The American Transformers cartoon series and the three part series finale. It introduces a great bunch of intresting characters such as the Autobot Headmasters Cerebros, Chromedome,Brainstorm, Hardhead,Highbrow, and Fortress Maximus. the Autobot Tagetmasters also make an apperance, Pointblank,Sureshot and Crosshairs. These Autobots crash land on an alien planet known as Nebulos. The Decepticons follow. There, the Autobots meet the Nebulans, the alien inhabitants and the slaves of the evil slavemasters known as the Hive. The Nebulans binary bound with the Autobots as their heads and weapons! The Decepticons do this as well with Hive members lead by Lord Zarek! This story sets a new beginning in the Transfomers saga as well as ends the show. Buy the video and the DVD! A must have for all children of the 1980s generation!

Summary: Not one of the best episodes, but OK.
Review: This is the 3-part series finale of the original Transformers. Most people will say that the two-part "The Return of Optimus Prime" would have made a much better finale. I completely agree. "Rebirth" was more of a three-episode toy commercial than an ending for one of the best cartoons ever. Actually, in terms of depth, it's probably one of the lesser episodes. Still, it does have its merits. The friendship between Arcee and Daniel is more closely developed than in previous episodes, the pacifistic Cerebros adds a bit of balance and morality to the situation, and Cybertron is finally restored.

Now, I'm not too sure what this whole "Heroes" thing is about. I'm also not sure why another 3-part episode, "The Ultimate Doom," was released with a similar "Villains" theme. It doesn't really make sense. It's not really harmful tot he disc's material, though, so I'll let it slide.

To be honest, "The Ultimate Doom" (the "Villains" disc) is a lot better than this one. "Rebirth" is really more for the core Transformers fans who must have all the episodes; if you're a more casual fan looking for something a bit more mainstream, pick up "The Ultimate Doom" or the complete first season boxed set instead. If you already have those, then pick up this one as well, because it's worth it.

Summary: Confused hectic series should have been a movie.
Review: This SHORT series should have been another movie. It suffered from several problems as a series, however. Because they shoved so much new stuff into 3 made for TV episodes, the story line is way over-compressed. It also seems like it's almost nothing but a plug for a bunch of new transformers that they never had enough time in the series to develop and then make for toy production (and thence, more money). So, what the viewer gets is a story that seems almost entirely monetarily based to generate revenue on a bunch of new Transformers before the series ended. Despite this being a fictitious story line, these episodes take the ridiculous to a whole new level, even when one accepts the basic tenements of the Transformers in general. These three episodes have enough in them for a properly written STORY (read: movie or another year's worth of episodes). Overall, it's good closure for a Transformers fan, but erringly schizophrenic.

Summary: Prime 80's cartoon series!
Review: Three episodes (3-parter) of the fourth season. No extras, superb picture quality. Sound is very good quality, Dolby 5.1 remix but without disappointing special effects!

Mind that this DVD represents the whole season 4 of the series! No boxset is to come!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Special 3Episode Collecters Edition. More than the box knows
Review: Well, on May 8th (the release date), me and my friend got this DVD. When my I poped it into my player, it played the wrong epasode! So, I took his "Rebirth" (and/or "Heroes") and put it in. It did the same thing. Then I took a closer look at the disc it was on. It was clearly marked "Herros" not "Villins". Then (for humor) we put his "Villins" DVD in. Of corse, it played the right epasode. ...

The mis-written virsion (that WILL be corrected) of this DVD could be worth money some day, tiny misprints on the boxes of toys can collect up to thousends of dollars to collecters. You will notice that the cover says "Spicial Collectors Edition", these words are more than the box knows...

Summary: Optimus Prime!
Review: Well, well, well! If it isn't the TRANSFORMERS! Awesome! Well, I loved this show (and I still do!) as a child. And now it's on DVD?!? Holy! I gotta love these guys! These episodes rock, the last 3 episodes of the series. A must for Transfans! Make sure to check out more of my infamous reviews. Hahaha!

Summary: Transformers fans only
Review: When I returned from the store with new transformers DVD , rebirth, i thought I was going to be thoroghly entertained. I had already watched the Transformers THe Movie DVD , which turned out to be a great flick. My expectations were high. As the first episode played out , my jaw dropped ! What was this garbage? The animation was sub-par , and the voice-acting hideous. The only familiar voice was the Optimus Prime VA , who sounded a little worse for wear. If you're used to the first season of Transformers , you'll hate these episodes. I mean , the older episodes had way better plot ,storyline and animation. C'mon , "NEW HEADMASTERS , NEW TARGERMASTERS!" . That is the worst promo i've ever heard. Anyway , I'll quote the main villian to wrap this review up " Remove your heads!" And remove your expectations for this sham of a DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great series - why had it been cancelled???
Review: Why had it been cancelled and replaced by a CGI series with new characters carring the same or similar names??
Good animation quality and Optimus Prime in action - this is what TF - The Rebirth is!
