Transformers Rescue Bots on DVD

[Kirben]

Beyond Home Entertainment are releasing the Transformers Rescue Bots series on DVD, with the first two volumes been released in November 2013. Good to see the series is finally been released on DVD locally, hopefully it will be shown on (free to air) TV eventually too.

Anyone else enjoying this series? I imported the DVD releases so far.

My son loves it. Being only 3 we like that he can watch Transformers like his dad, without the guns and violence :-)

New series out at the end of the year apparently. He currently watches them on Netflix

Is this any good, havent watch it before. Can I introduce this to my baby instead of those wiggles or dora?

[serialmonkey]

Indeed ! My son started watching it when he was 3. No Deceptions, no guns, no REAL violence other than the occasional smashing of something. My son now wants to be Optimus Prime when he grows up. What more could a father ask for ?

Heh - why do you think I named my son 'Orion'? ;)

The third DVD volume (Transformers Rescue Bots: Return of the Dino Bot) is been released on 5th February 2014, according to their Dealer's Guide.

Still only 5 episodes per DVD, so looks like five volumes for the first season.

Can anyone confirm the episode order on the Australian DVD releases? I'm really hoping they are in the correct episode order.

I have been buying the DVD releases from Shout Factory in the USA, but looks like the next DVD volume has the episodes completely out of order (17, 19, 22, 23 24). Which is really disappointing, considering past DVD volumes were almost in perfect episode order.

I noticed it's in HD on the iTunes store. I might buy it, well at least the first 5 episodes to check it out. I doubt there will be a Blu-ray release since it's aimed at kids.

It would be nice tho to have a high res restored version of everything from G1 to Unicron Trilogy to Animated.

From what I can see in the iTunes store it looks like Beyond has put them almost 100% in order. Episode 6 and 7 are swapped, the rest are in order.

Don't forget the usual quandary of airdate order vs production order. Its often a factor in animated releases.

That episode was swapped in the DVD releases in the USA too, so sounds like Beyond Home Entertainment are going to just mirror the USA releases.

It is a shame this cartoon series can't get a decent DVD release.

The airdate order and production order seem to match so far, at least in all the episode lists I have been able to find online.
