Some have turned up outside Mexico (ie with the regular mould imprints), but I suspect they're from the Netherlands. Or possibly Finland.

Oooh can someone please tell me the difference between Super God Masterforce and Victory cartoon DVDs? I'm planning to get either one first because it's about $50 bucks a set.

Erm, one contains Masterforce and the other contains Victory (and possible the Zone OVA too). Chronologically Masterforce comes first, so if you've never seen them before I would recommend getting that before Victory.

Not much help there Goktimus...
Masterforce features the Pretenders, Power(God)Masters, and second year Headmasters as the main characters. It has a more human focus (the Powermasters and Headmasters are humans that merge with transforming vehicles) but is still considered one of the best TF Anime series. I've not watched it all but I think it's great from what I've seen.
Victory features mostly Japanese-only toys and combiners are a big part of it. I believe some of the Micromasters might get a look in too but I'm not sure. I've not watched it yet.
It's a shorter series too if i recall correctly, so Masterforce is better value. Victory does include the Zone story which is primarily focused on Micromasters and is like a standalone movie.

I like Masterforce more.

Well the question did ask what the difference between the DVDs were so I wasn't entirely sure about the meaning of her question. Had she just said "What's the difference between the Masterforce and Victory cartoons?" then I would've gone into a more in-depth explanation, but the word "DVD" kinda threw me off there. :/Originally Posted by Paulbot
I think both Masterforce and Victory are pretty good stories. A lot of people do prefer Masterforce though - I do as well. It's very innovative and unique in terms of giving a new twist on Transformers... like their take on Pretenders (which Sky Shadow spoke about on the "which continuity" thread). Victory is mostly good but there's a group of characters who are kinda goofy that some people don't like as well. Masterforce also shows the regular human characters as being the most useful in any TF animated series since they are Transformers instead of being useless bystanders. This is not so in Victory. Victory has a kick-a$$ ending fight though.Story-wise Zone is bollocks but it's very well animated. (^_^)
But again, chronologically Masterforce comes first so watching Victory would give you spoilers on Masterforce.
Make sure you get Headmasters first though Mel...if you haven't got it.

The Headmasters isn't that important insofar as it doesn't link to Masterforce as strongly as Masterforce links to Victory.
None of the characters from the Headmasters really appear in Masterforce, except for Chromedome who only makes a cameo appearance through a video call. There are no Headmasters spoilers in Masterforce aside from knowing that Chromedome doesn't die. Victory on the other hand does feature some characters from Masterforce and in a manner which is directly related to how Masterforce ends... so being exposed to those characters would in turn spoil the ending of Masterforce
Ah ok. I just thought that because they were in a chronological order it was sort of better watching them one, two and three.

@TheDirtyDigger: You've kinda unspoiled what Gok was trying not to spoil.
