It's a shame. I don't think Madman staff visit the Madboards either, any more and they used to have a huge presence there.

The mods are closely affiliated w/ Madman staff though. Wow... I haven't been on Madboards in yeeeaaars.

I just bought Transformers Animated Season 1, and I'm disappointed already. There are 8 episodes per DVD, and the video looks over compressed at times, especially the opening sequence. I'm only using a 27" monitor, so I expect it is even worse on a large screen.

Also can anyone confirm the usual length of each episode? as I noticed several episodes are shorter (21:38) compared to others (22:05)

I really hope Transformers Animated gets a Blu-Ray release in the USA, so we can get a good quality release of the series.

I was wondering if anyone had bought it and had feedback.

I think around 21 to 23 minutes per episodes seems right.

Could you tell us if the DVDs have the widescreen versions of the episodes?

Yes, all the episodes are in anamorphic widescreen.

Animated did have varied running times, so those numbers seem about right.

It the visual element is distorted on the Australian version, that would put off people buying the second season... and prevent the release of the third here.

See if you can try it on a DVD player and TV, and see if it is just the computer's graphics and resolution.

I was looking forward to the (finally) release of the widescreen version of Animated, so might just buy the American release if the Australian version doesn't have the hi definition quality that it should have.

What program are you using to watch these dude? - As those images look like they're being displayed in 4:3 and not 16:9, there should be an option somewhere to correct the aspect ratio.
