    Just rented Heavy Metal War, and this looks to be the Rhino version. I can confirm it has the same animation errors shown here:

    Only thing that puzzles me is the soundtrack sounds original. No annoying new effects. Resolution is comparable to DVD. Aspect ratio is 4:3 with black bars filling in the sides.

    It'd be nice to know what is the format if you buy them. MP4 maybe ?

    I bought it since I hadn't yet owned any of the DVD sets. All the download options appear to be mp4.

    Yes, they were on Netflix to stream, which required a subscription. However, with the Vimeo versions, you can stream on any device and download DRM-Free video files of each episode, which is a major plus to me.

    Not sure if this the most brilliant plan ever since my very first question was "what the hell is Vimeo"?

    What I'd really like to know is whether or not Vimeo's rights are exclusive, and if so, how long that exclusivity lasts.

    The 1080p files look great. I've got all these episodes already, but they're DVD rips, so the resolution is just so-so. Rented "Call of the Primitives" to see how the quality was and it's top notch. Comparable to the 1080p rip of TF:The Movie; not as good, but better than any rips of the G1 series currently available.

    As jbot stated above, the soundtrack is original, which actually is a huge plus in my book! So, all 98 episodes with great video quality with the original soundtrack for $36? Done and done!

    Transformers G1, Prime, Rescue Bots and RID 2015 heading to Vimeo on Demand

    Great news for TF Fans and Hasbro studios product fans

    Also it spoils something about RID 2015

    Transformers: Robots in Disguise: When a Cybertronian prison ship crashes on Earth, a new team of Autobots, led by Bumblebee, arrives to protect the planet — and the galaxy — from hundreds of escaped Deception fugitives! Following a mysterious message from another dimension, this ragtag band of heroes learns to trust and fight alongside one another, and begins to suspect the crash might not have been an accident — but only the beginning of a larger, much more sinister plan! (Available later in 2015)

    My guess is
    Megatronus because why did they not say Optimus sent the message, they said a mysterious message but it was Optimus who sent the message but I think this has something to do with Optimus and his training.

    I guess if you can download it, it's okay... Streaming is only as good as how long these knobs are in business. Maybe that's for the next 50 years. Maybe it's for the next 5 months...

    I'd really like to read more about episodes showing up on Netflix. This Vimeo deal is just another iTunes.

    You know for Hasbro to move Robots in Disguise to the craptacular Cartoon Network under the logic that it will reach the most viewers, how does it make any sense at all to take the shows off Netflix and put them on Vimeo?

    This Vimeo On Demand title is no longer available. Gone Babe Gone! Anywhere else we could buy it legit? Many thanks. Not available for free streaming on netflix, amazon prime, etc., but it's actually available on STARZ.

    Many thanks. This Tubi deal turns out to be true. Wish they had subtitles/close captioning.
