This is a great collection of movies.its great to have all the movies in one place

Brings back some fond memories of when I was young

This set is a must have for any Transformers fan! This set collects the entire Tranformers cartoon from the '80s (also called G1#. Transformers features lots of fast-paced #and generally non-violent) action, there's more action in a half-hour Transformers episode than in most 60 minute live-action episodes. Lots of fast and furious action and some exciting duels between Optimus Prime and Megatron. This is also a surprisingly well-written series. The plot for any given episode is well thought out and develops each character nicely. From high profile heroes like Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, to giving the spotlight to some lesser known characters like Beachcomber and Trax. The animation is quite good by 80's TV standards and even holds up today as quality animation. Shout Factory did a good job on the restoration of the series. There are a few places where you can see source material problems, but most of the show looks as crisp and clear as when it was first broadcast. The extras trace the history of the Transformers from the action figures, to the Marvel comics to the TV series itself, including input from series writers, Bob Budiansky the writer of the Marvel comic and even some of the voice actors. Very informative! For an action series the whole family can enjoy, look no further than Transformers! See it for the first time or rediscover why you loved this series so much. Required viewing for any Transformers fan!

This set contains all the original episodes from seasons 1-4. However it's missing the Transformers Movie. If you missed out on the Matrix of Leadership edition this will suffice. I wish that Shout Factory would include the movie in their sets, it would actually make them complete. If this set is from the same DVD transfer as the Matrix of Leadership edition then they'll play and look fine. They contain all the original mistakes from the 80's (poor color rendering, talking with no mouth movement, improperly rendered character colors, etc.) but it still provides a high nostalgic value to those who grew up with this cartoon.

My 7 year old son and I as a Transformers fans love this set. It brings a kid in me! Here I said it! I was his age when It first aired on TV. It has all 4 seasons plus bonus features as well as original toys commercials!

Awesome G1 box set to relive G1. No Movie though. Sony owns the rights & the 2009 Matrix Box set is rare to find. I recommend this to all Transformers fans. I'm a Premier Silver Reward Zone Member. This is a good deal.

They kept the original series even with the commercial breaks but without advertisements
