Predacons Rising has been released. Saw it on DVD at JB last night with the new TF branding all over it.
They also had a new Prime Season 1 release, 5 discs in a slim case (compared to the box set of the first five DVD releases) for just under $40. Also has the new branding. It's also in the Big W catalogue for $5 less.

Thinking of bitting the bullet and buying Madman's AEC and TFA DVD's. Has Madman ever released a box sets of part one and two of each AEC season in one box and all three TFA seasons in one box like Shout Factory?
Not yet. I've put off buying those series in anticipation of box sets.Quote:

That's very interesting, I don't use iTunes for anything, is stuff on iTunes in a format that is sharable, ie: can I download it put it on a hard drive and play it on my Samsung TV or will it only play on apple products or products with iTunes?Quote:

I so wish they'd just release the Blu Rays. thanks for the info.
Prime season 2 and 3 box sets coming from Madman in May
Cheers for the heads-up dude! :DQuote:

I hope it's bluray but considering Madman seem to be scaling back on some bluray releases it wouldn't be too likely...
That's true and they have said that the 1st Season didn't sell well enough to justify releasing the 2nd & 3rd seasons on that format, but that was before the series had gotten TV airings on either Free or Pay TV so maybe, just maybe, we might be lucky! :oQuote:

Also there was a recent Facebook response (11th March 2015) about a Blu-Ray release of Transformers Prime Season 2 & 3 too:

Madman Hi Caley-Che, sorry for the delay in replying. To be honest, we couldn't proceed with another BR Season of TF Prime based on a slow uptake of the first season. All the extra costs involved for a BR can add up to the point where we just can't proceed. Sorry for the disappointing news.
Cheers for the clarification man, also for the confirmation of what we'd hoped might've changed - Oh well, at least full Boxsets are being released at all. :)Quote:

I do and the thought has definitely crossed my mind - To the point they're sitting in my Wishlist! ;):DQuote:

Madman's decision not to produce S2, S3 and BHPR on Blu-ray means the whole Transformers community has to put up with less than perfect video for a series thats CGI and therefore easy to get the best video quality possible out of.
After a sighting by Kyalrode of the Season One boxset of Rescue Bots at JBHifi store in Victoria, I had a look on the Beyond Entertainment site but it hasn't been put back up yet... but is listed on the JBHifi site, for $20... which is a GREAT price when you see that the individual volumes were $13 each on release (later dropped to $10), with a RRP of $15-20.
Unfortunately, it looks like this isn't a complete Season One boxset... as it has only four volumes, and only 440 minutes (20 episodes).
I guess this is why the original listing was pulled - Beyond Entertainment must have stripped out a volume to get it under a price-point that retailers preferred.
It is still a good way of saving a lot of money on those first four volumes of season one, but to complete the set, you'll need Volume five with this boxset.
And it makes you wonder what will happen in future if they do future boxsets. Will the next one have Volume 5 of Season One with it and three of Season Two (which will only have four volumes).
So close and yet so far... because I won't be able to help sell it to non-Australians if it isn't an actual Season set. :(
Beyond Home Entertainment frequently release various box sets, bundling previous DVD releases, so I expect they will just bundle a few DVD volumes each time, at the price point requested by retailers.
Hopefully the box set will help improve sales more, so we can look forward to seeing the rest of the series.
These companies that insist on breaking up seasons piecemeal for the sake of extra sales or meeting arbitrary price points go a long way to not getting any of my money. do they not see that? <that was rhetorical, sort of>
I just found on the iTunes Store the first batch of RID2015 episodes are available to buy in HD. Episodes 1 - 7 are included, unfortunately it's rather pricey at $19.99.

Volume 2 and 3 are also upQuote:

Beyond Home Entertainment are releasing the Transformers: Robots in Disguise (20015) series on DVD, the first DVD volume (Transformers - Robots In Disguise - Collect 'em All) will be released on 1st September 2015. Source: Stack Magazine
We can only hope that Beyond Home Entertainment will offer a boxed set for the series too, through their JB Hi-Fi exclusives.
I wonder if that means Madman have lost the license, or they just don't want to do the really kiddie Transformers series.
What do you mean? Madman Entertainment never licensed the latest series, and each series would be a separate license.Quote:

I really wonder why Madman Entertainment bothered at this late stage, especially after stating they had no plans for further Blu-Ray releases.

I had given up on watching TFPrime so am happy to hear season 2 is coming out on Bluray and hope they'll complete the set now.
Damit! I ripped the whole Region A set and still can't get it to play on my TV, now Madman have finally decided to put out the Blu-ray! I better be able to pick them up cheap!:mad:Quote:

Like you can't get to the menu/episode selection/play episodes?Quote:

Never makes it to a menu. I got it working on a different player. So they will just blame that. I might check my settings on my player incase I got Blurays set to region 1 again.Quote:

I wish they would make a BH box set to go with tfp season 1 and 2
I finally found the third volume of the Rescue Bots Second Season DVD, at Kmart Sunnybank.
The fourth volume showed up at a number of retailers a couple months ago, but the third volume hasn't appeared anywhere yet (even JB Hifi, who has the other 8 volumes at my nearest store).
So if you are collecting the Rescue Bots DVDs, Kmart is where you can find the third volume, for just $9.
Speaking of JBHifi, I saw this Animated complete series boxset about a week ago for $57.

Really? Only 4 disk for the entire run of Animated? There's got to be some mistake.Quote:

I noticed there are now a bunch of Season 3 Rescue Bots episodes on iTunes in HD, $14.99 per set of episodes with 6-7 episodes per set. I don't think the entire season is up yet
Complete series box sets of Transformers Prime are being released on DVD and Bluray this Wednesday according to the JB website.
Thanks to a tip off at TFW2005, Season two of RID is coming to DVD next month, with volume 1 slated for December 7th.
Hopefully like last year, the full season is released at the same time.
