    As Motormaster said, video and audio are remastered, although the video quality is just about the same as what Rhino offered, however the Audio is the original recording, Rhino added weak out of place SFX's and even snuck in G2 broadcast audio in some episodes, along with incorrect audio sequences in a few episodes, an example of this would be when we get the Zombie Prime and the narrator said "Is this the end of optimus prime? Stay tuned for Return of Optimus Prime, tomorrow!"
    In which I think Primes return was some episodes later...however some episodes were shown out of order in certain areas....K NOW I'm getting technical and boring.

    So yeah, Video and Audio fixed, but don't look for bonus material, there's virtually squat around that hasn't already been said.

    It's a pretty long page to read through, but here it is direct from the Shout! Factory website: Shout! Factory Community - The Definitive Transformers Thread

    Some people are pointing out errors and he is indicating that they are going to go back and fix them. Not sure if that means future production runs of the Matrix set will get fixed or what. I'm assuming that means future volumes of the individual releases will get the updates.

    Looks pretty rad but I picked up the complete set back in October, I also have the entire run of the Rhino releases too so I will not be picking this up.

    Wow thats a really good price seeing how I sold my entire Rhino set last year for over 300 dollars. Rhinos box sets were nicer packaging though, and kinda hated to part with them but glad I can get this for 2/3 less than what I paid for Rhinos.

    Shout deserves a medal or something. They've done such a perfect job with these releases, I really can't praise them enough.

    I was reading through that and got some really good info. Like, they were arranging the episodes by the most logical based on the story. Having a character's introductory episode be before any other episodes they appeared in ( like Bruticus ). However, they only got the fist two season done that way. Season 3 was decided, but then Hasbro told them to put them in some other order so they did. This is why the episode order listed on the cases does not match what's on the disk in the Matrix set. In this one, the episode list on the package will be corrected. It's frustrating because we have Bruticus' origin ep before his other appearances like it should be, but we still have Sandstorm rubbing elbows with Octane before his introductory episode. As well as BBo2006 and the Quinesson Journal being in the wrong order. :(

    Damn, that's a little more than half price of the boxset. (If you go with Amazon)

    I for one LOVE bonus material, and that bonus disk is way cool, but, damn, you have to fork out $63.54 MORE for it?

    I mean, I already did, but wow, just...wow.

    I like the boxset, but it is very tough for it to fit in with the rest of my DVD's

    That was one of the only (IMO) times were I would prefer the Rhino's - The cases were beautiful...ah, well.

    And I did sell my Rhino's for about $300, so I can't really complain, I guess :p

    I bought my box set from Overstock.com for $112 shipped. So the bonus disk only set me back $35. But I also got a cool episode guide, and a really neat box for that. So I don't feel too bad about it.
