    That is truly amazing. Its actually watchable. I tried to watch the Malaysian fan dub for years and could never make it past the first 5 episodes. Its great when voice actors actually sound different and their voices have swag and persona. The original actors all sounded the same like if 2 people did the whole show. A shame Jon 3.0 and his crew cant just do the whole series. I guess that stuff costs a lot of money. I wonder what the budget was on this? The addition of commercials was cool. They even threw in an outdated commercial for igear, lol. Then the next commercial had MP Ultra Magnus which came out years after Rager. Anyways I loved it. Thanks for sharing. There is also episode 7 on their youtube channel.

    I might have asked this before, but does this set have English subtitles?

    They don't, unfortunately. Wish there was an audio translator out there similar to Google translate but with audio, not text.

    yeah , I watched those malay/singapoor dubs too and always thought that this series could NEVER make it in the USA and then I saw what these guys did with Ep 7 and 8 and I am just blown away by it. The ep is now exciting ! and feels like the continuation that we never got.

    from what I understand they all do it for free and due to that and the time it takes to get everything done it takes a long time for an ep to come out , like one ep every two years.

    Its too bad because I would happily donate some money if it meant getting them out faster

    I wonder if it'd be legal for them to Patreon? They're not selling merch or the vids and subs themselves, just kickstarting for the dubs themselves so I'm curious if that'd be okay.

    HBO released "The Wire" on BD and Fox will be doing the same for "the Shield".

    As amazing as those shows are (if you have never watched them, I do envy you) I have a hard time believing they are more popular or would sell more than the original G1 TF Series. Someone needs to make this happen.

    I wish they made a new master of the footage rather than using the same old ancient masters made for the laserdisks even if they redid the series with shouts videos masters as a base it might be worth the replacement but at the moment ill stick with the dvd sets saying that 1 tiny bluray box would take up alot less space than 15 dvds and it has a nice cover......no must resist.

    Not sure why there hasnt been a new Japanese DVD/BD of the movie but i did notice that the trade trailer for it that originally was on the 2010 dvd set was deleted from the special features on the most recent reissue.

    It was on the laserdisc set of 2010 but not the dvd. The special features disk on the original 2010 had the rebirth, the trade trailer and some toy ads.

    Walrus, welcome back brother! Thank you for the correction. For me this set is worth it since I don't own the original releases on DVD. I'm with you on the transfer, it shows the age of the masters. The problem with FSRL vs US G1 is the opening/closing credits were lengthened by almost a minute which cut some of the actual show footage. So to use the Shout masters, a lot of editing would have to happen (wish they would thought!). The original Transformers 2010 had 6 DVDs with the special features (from Pioneer), but the new Geneon Version only had 5 Discs omitting The Rebirth, Trailer and commercials.

    The Wire?

    Thats one of my favorite series of all time ! That show is gangsta ! The way Avon and Stringer set each other up was crazy. And Omar was a true thug no matter what he was behind closed doors.

    I never heard of the Shield though....

    Thats true they shifted the disk to the headmasters reissue set without the trade trailer which makes more sense since its contents have more to do with headmasters than 2010 anyway. Looking at the bluray contents you posted it looks like they put it back so who knows what they are thinking.
