Summary: Still one of my favorite cartoons!
Review: The Transformers may be the greatest television advertisement ever for a toy, but it was also a pretty good show, too. The premise is that there are two groups of transforming robots living on the planet Cybertron. These two groups, the Autobots and the Decepticons, have been at war with each other for a long time now and their planet is almost out of the energy necessary to keep things running for very much longer. Both the Autobots and the Decepticons flee Cybertron to seach for another source of energy, but their ships crash on Earth. 4 million years later they awake (which puts them around the present day) and continue their war and search for energy to return to Cybertron and to restore Cybertron to prominence.

The Decepticons, led by Megatron, have one goal: to strip the Earth of its resources to create Energon cubes, and return to Cybertron to rule the Universe. The Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, are the good guys, and are trying to stop them and are trying to protect this new planet that they are coming to care for. This is a simple premise, but one which works over the course of the first season. Megatron hatches plot after plot to gain the energy he needs, and the Autobots stop him. In the process, there is a huge amount of destruction and damage to Earth, though we never see all of the human death and suffering that surely must have occurred as a result. This is a battle of good versus evil.

I watched the Transformers on television as a child, and thinking back, I believe that every episode I saw back then was part of this season. These are episodes that I remembered even before I purchased this set. We are introduced to the Autobots, the Decepticons, the Dinobots, the Insecticons, and the Constructicons, and also Skyfire. That is a whole lot of toys to buy! Having watched the show again after all these years it is not surprising to find that some things are kind of cheesy now and that some of the dialogue is rather bad. Despite that, no flaw in the show lessened my enjoyment. These are the Transformers, a show I loved as a child and a show that I can still enjoy as an adult.

Summary: Brings back old memories
Review: This set is great, it reminds me of when my brother and me would wath transformers early in the morning on saturday. There is not much i can actually say about this other then, if you haven't see the original transformers cartoon, you are missing out, on one of the most watched shows in the 80's. Transformers are a piece of history, if you would like to relive that history it is up to you to buy this DVD set.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST
Review: This is awesome. I am so glad they came out with this. I am a huge fan of the Transformers since I was a little kid. I'm now 25 and still collect the toys, I remember when they were made of metal. This is straight up original stuff, from the very first pilot Transformers episode on to the end of the whole first season. It brought back a lot of memories and I think this was one of the best purchases I have made all year. If you are younger and never had the opportunity to know some of the old characters in their "original" form this is wonderful. A lot of the newer characters have the same names as some of the original but man have they been touched up! haha!!

Anyways, for die hard fans or even younger ones who are getting into it now, this is an absolute must have. I love it and watch it often enough to almost quote every line, call me a nerd haha! I love the Transformers and I hope they continue to come out with season by season.

Transform and Roll Out!!

Summary: Thank God and the Autobot Matrix of Leadership
Review: After seeing how many people are like me in the view that Transformer should have never went off the air, I don't feel so alone. I have spent the last 15 years trying to find this Collection. By a piece of luck I got the Movie (Transformers the Movie) from a garage sale ... I spent alot on time on the internet trying to find the shows as well. Thank God they re released the shows. I hope they don't stop there and re release G2 shows as well.

I have a problem with all the people talking badly about the job Rhino did on remastering the series. These are coming for people that are 25 still living at home with there parents, WAKE UP, the series is 15 years old what did you expect. I would like to thank the people at Rhino for bring them back to life. Yes it isn't the best job they could have done but at least they tried.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: great series - terrible remastering
Review: I love Transformers G1 and I was looking forward to the DVD release but this is a disaster! Reverse transformation scenes sometimes and smoke- and fireeffects missing. The soundeffects are also very strange, not entirely what fans expected...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Transformers
Review: The corperate review contains a few errors. First off, the show debuted in 1984. Secondly the entire production and writing of the show was handled by Marvel and Sunbow Productions. All the Japanese did was dub it a year later for their markets.

The toyline may have used recycled molds from several Takara, Tomy & Bandai toylines from Japan, but the story was 100% created by Marvel Comics and Hasbro.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Coloring mistakes...huh?
Review: If the mistakes in coloring were true mistakes, then Transformers fans around the globe would be in an outrage and you'd be sure to hear about it. Judging by the Amazon.com sales ratings I'm sure the Transformers box sets have sold millions, and yet this problem hasn't been addressed? Because it isn't a problem. If you check most DVD review sites you'll find them saying that it is in fact an improvement. There's nothing wrong with the color, it's just more vivid thanks to the enhancements of DVD. This is one of the best cartoon transfers I've seen. You should enjoy it more as now it can be shown as it was truly meant to be seen, in a full palette of bright and gorgeous colors.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Series Marking an Era
Review: When my brother and I saw the first Transformers episode, we were instantly hooked.
By that time my father had just bought our first VCR, and recording Transformers episodes is how we actually learnt how to use a VCR.
Now that this DVD has came out to market, the first thing I'll have to do is buy my first DVD player.
And that's how the Transformers Series marked two different eras in our lives: from VCR to DVD.
