Summary: Transformers Heroes: Rebirth_ Worth the wait
Review: I finally received my copy from my retailer and it was worth the long wait. I was about 10-12 yrs old when I last saw Transformers on TV. So for the memories itself Transformers Heroes on either VHS or DVD is priceless. The episodes are from the 3 part series finale and introduces the Headmasters, Targetmaster, the clones, etc. Don't confuse this with the Japanese Headmaster series they are 2 different storylines. If you are a true Transformers fan buy Heroes, Vilains, & the other episodes that Rhino released on VHS. You won't be disappointed

Summary: Not The Right DVD in the Case
Review: I have seen everyTransformers and know my stuff. Don't get me wrong the 3 part series Rebirth is a fun watch. bu the DVD I ordered did NOT contain Rebirth. The case the liners all indicate Rebirth. But the DVD contains the 3 part The Ultimate Doom. The DVD says Heroes (The DVD for Rebirth says Heroes-Rebirth, but the DVD just says Heroes and 30 min per episode containg 3 episodes 90 min total). Tha package says 150 minutes. Somwhere at Rhino there is a horrible horrible error. I do not blame Amazon. This is a distribution problem. Be careful on what you are getting and make sure it is the right DVD. Rebirth is the series with the Headmasters and Targetmasters and takes place after the movie with the next generation of Transformers. The Ultimate Doom is first generation. Just be sure you get what you paid for.

Summary: Compel Rhino to release more episodes!
Review: I have to be honest. The episodes in this DVD are not really worthy of 5 stars based on the pure content. There are no extras on the DVD. There must have been 50 to a 75 new characters introduced that got to have one Hasbro line. The plot makes no sense, especially for Transformers standards.

But you have to buy this. We all love the Tranformers and the way I see it, the only way to get all the episodes released in box sets is to vote with the almight dollar. Buying this DVD is truly saying you love the Tranformers to Rhino and will hopefully lead to some really cool releases down the road.

Summary: Transformers Heroes: Rebirth
Review: I just purchased the Heroes DVD & I am very pleased. Even though now the story might seem rushed I love it just because when Rebirth aired on TV I was about 10 yrs old. So the memories of watching cartoons from the 80's such as Transformers, GI Joe or Thundercats are priceless. If you grew up watching Transformers buy this DVD & all other Transformer videos?DVDs released by Rhino. You won't be disapointed.

Summary: A MIRACLE !!
Review: I NEVER though I'd see the end of the Transformers series make it to DVD in a million years... but IT'S HERE !!! And RHINOmation DID IT ! Now... If only Rhino would release ALL the SUNBOW series as COMPLETE SEASON DVD BOX SETS... For Heaven's sake! ;:-) BUY it ! Amazon must have replaced the defective discs by now... Because I bought it from Amazon and got the right disc...

Summary: Transformers HERO'S real REBIRTH
Review: I received the corrected version of this DVD and it is excellent. Complete with scenes from the past episodes of the episode Rebirth and the future episodes of Rebirth from the cool narrator, this DVD is a must. This is the final episode ever shown in the United States of this classic show. One comment I would like to make. I do not like the choice of pictures that Rhino uses for this DVD or the Villians DVD. On the villians cover it shows Cyclonus, well he was never in the episode The Ultimate Doom except as his prior form ((Skywarp) I have a good theory about why Cyclonus is Skywarp due to Transformers the Movie's vague error that has haunted Transformer fans for years). The hero's DVD version has Optimus Prime but he is not the main focus of this episode. Other than that the Rebirth is digitalized and the three part episode looks better than ever. Targetmasters and Headmasters attack.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "A meritorious way out of a meritricious situation:" Buy it!
Review: I went to Best Buy, my neighborhood Mecca, and saw this in the DVD section and my jaw dropped 20 ft. "No way!!!" I have this taped from when I was in 5th grade back in '87, and yes, I still can quote 'em line by line. The Rebirth trilogy was my favorite episodes from the post-movie seasons. This DVD took me back to my childhood. I was in awe, just seeing the Transformers intro again. Man. But anyways...let's move on... =)

This was just a way cool story arc, albeit overly-saturated as Hasbro was bringing out the new line of Transformer toys and needed a vehicle to advertise all of them. Yes, soo many new characters were introduced and only had about one line each, but hey, you can't blame em. And Headmasters and Targetmasters? How does it all work? How come Arcee's head turns into Daniel's huge white exosuit? And since when did Spike get so dang smart to make all these technical modifications?! Hehe, just kiddin, enough nitpicking here for nitpicking's sake... =)

Now for the good part, tell Swoop good part. Well this 3 part story arc was a good way of ending the series' run in America, it does restore Cybertron to the Golden Age again. And Optimus Prime is back which rocks. The story was definitely more complex than the older episodes. I thought that the writers did a good job with what they had, to integrate all the new characters. The plasma energy was an interesting plot idea, teaching us more about the past of Cybertron, and Vector Sigma. There is a lot of action, which the scenes were well done. The music fit perfectly in all the scenes with a new soundtrack for this miniseries instead of the usual sets of tracks that the shows recycle over and over again. I could watch it over and over again. And Headmasters and Targetmasters? Pretty darn cool. Action. Yes. Very nice.

The DVD itself only includes the feature 3 episodes. But the audio and video quality is very good. I watched it on my big screen and sound system, and it rocked! A must buy for any Transformers fan!!!

Summary: A Non-Review of "Rebirth"
Review: I would love to be able to tell you how good a DVD "Rebirth" is. . .however, I *can't.* I received my copy of "Rebirth" today, eager to finally see the three-parter (I missed it as a kid)that closed out the animated series. The closest I got was the intro playing in the menu window. What I ended up getting was the "Villains:Ultimate Doom" disc, despite it being labeled as "Heroes:Rebirth" This may (or may not) explain why this title is mysteriously out of stock only scant days before coming out. I was more than a little disappointed, given Rhino's track record of doing really *good* jobs with their old 80s cartoons. Not recommended until the kinks are worked out for well and good. Skip the false hope and buy "Ultimate Doom."

Summary: Great buy!
Review: In this DVD you get the three episodes of Rebirth. They basically tell the tale of how Cybertron returns to its "Golden Age". Sure you could say they were advertisements, which they are in truth. But there is an exciting and some what intelligent story behind it. Everything that happens in the episodes happens for a reason (except Punch getting injured). Hot Rod and nine other Autobots get launched from Cybertron when an accident occurs, this leads them to Nebulos. Where the Nebulons have become enslaved by "The Hive". Eventually the Decepticons find out where the Autobots are and follow them. Thats where both sides become Targetmasters and Headmasters. Optimus Prime who is still on Cybertron ventures into Vector Sigma to find out what is going on, he gets his awnser. The rest is all told in the actual DVD.

As for the DVD itself, pretty good quality (I'm new to this stuff). No extras isn't that bad, the episodes themselves should hold you.

Its too bad this is the end of the U.S. Transformers. The entire time I watched the episodes I kept thinking that there should be more.

Watch for a great scene with Sixshot, were he takes out all of the Aerialbots on his own. Also the threats made by Galvatron towards the Hive members and Galvatron and Lord Zarek (leader of The Hive) at the end is quite funny (in my opinion).

Enjoy it, it is worth the money, whether your a hard-core Transformer fan or just someone reliving childhood memories.
