Now that the Australian distributor of the Rescue Bots cartoon is releasing everything, and in order (plus the option of boxsets), the American Shout Factory DVDs are probably now even less of interest to fans here.

But it's fun to point out the absurdity of what they are putting on their DVDs...

Volume 7 is called Return of the Heroes, to be released May 12 in America, and includes these five episodes...

S1 E18 - Bumblebee To The Rescue
S1 E26 - Bot To The Future (part two - Shout Factory didn't release part one yet)
S2 E05 - A Virtual Disaster
S2 E19 - Changes
S2 E26 - Rise Of The Heroes

Yes, those are the episode numbers of the five episodes, and yes, they are including part two of a two-part story without releasing the first part yet.

A visual way of seeing the release order of the Shout Factory DVDs...

For some reason, I am imagining a dartboard hanging in the Shout Factory office with episode numbers printed on it, explaining the odd assortments, huge gaps of missing episodes, and multiple episodes in different volumes.
