Animated movie release date

That assuming there will be a season box set... there hasn't been a R4 box set for any recent TF series

Im hoping that there will be the boxset, since all Paramount AU will have to do is recode the US release.

I did see the US R1 Movie set in Phantomzone Chatswood. not sure of the price.

Yeh, but for local releases of the shows, australia is pretty poor. No box set for Armada (did they even realease the whole series in seperate volumes) ditto for Energon and Cybertron. How long did it take us to get Beast Machines??!?!?

I notice amazon.com has a complete box set of Cybertron region 0 for pre-order.

Those were mentioned at BotCon - Cybertron boxset, Animated 'movie', and Animated Season 1 - all being released within the next few months in America, and probably here as well, thanks to Paramount being international.
I hate the way the first 3 episodes of Animated are called a Movie, and are not considered part of Season 1. It throws out the count of episodes (13 eps to a season), and allows Paramount to sell 2 DVD releases, for more profit, at our expense.

Yea, there's going to be a season release, from ep4 onwards.

I too hate how they do this, and the crap they pulled with cybertron was frigging annoying too. The season is nothing without episodes 1-3, and they sure arn't a movie. The 1986 version is a movie because it has a beginning and an end and uses established characters and lore. Three starter episodes are way off the mark. 3 episodes taped together for a run time of ~86mins != a movie.

If they were truely going to do a movie, it should be now following on from the end of season 2, or following season 3, then continue the regular episode seasons after.

So much potential wasted by the same types of dipshites that think flashing promos during shows are what kids want to see.

Armada had no boxset but the entire series was released in single disc format and were distributed by Magna Pacific.

Id say that with Transformers popularity still soaring from the movie that we will see the same releases here as the US gets.

Armada had a chinese release as a complete boxset, the eps also have the option of the American dub. Whether its completely legal or not....


who cares i got all Armada eps


Its stupid that the first few eps of Animated are seperate, im sure some kid will be wondering whats goin on if he hasn't seen the first eps

[Paulbot]

I forgot about those Armada DVDs. Collecting a series three or four episodes at a time is a pain though, even though those DVDs eventually ended up in the bargain bins. I'm pretty sure none of RID got a release here but I've been thinking about that recently and wouldn't mind rewatching it if I can track down an o/s copy.

It looks like we're getting "volumes" rather than season boxsets, with 4 episodes per volume...

Vol 2:

Which if tradition holds means those two might be the only two volumes

Has anyone got the "Roll out" DVD? I saw it in Big W the other day and it says it includes 2 Transformer Animated short cartoons as well and I'm wondering what those are?
