This is great news... but I'm definitely in the 'will there be a BluRay release' camp. As it stands, the only series we have on BluRay is Prime, and while I know that the other series that we own (Animated and Armada) wouldn't necessarily be improved on BluRay, I'd still prefer to have a current series in that format.

Also, I'll echo the call for Rescue Bots season sets. Or heck, if they want to wait until after S4 airs, just give us a 'Complete Series' set.

 

So will I.

 

I will buy this, but I would have been much happier with a blu-ray version. I do not understand why they don't see the value in releasing the best possible version of their product.

 

  Yep, me too.

That's just the video dl's, not a DVD set, but I imagine they will have it sooner or later too.

Agreed, maybe they still think kids only have DVD players, mom and dad won't let them use the BD player, too expensive.  

 

That's a Saban release, and I think in 2001 they were owned by Disney. So some of the rights may reside with them, and so there is probably some contract issue or other.

 

All I know if s one way or another, they need to get those damn rights. We're tired of waiting here. And I do not wanna go back to YouTube for my favorite transformers series.

Anyway, I'm kinda bummed because I already got the first DVD release thinking they might not actually do season releases for this. At least for a while anyway. I'm just glad I didn't preorder the second set. I came so close to it today. Now I can wait this out.

Edit: Dunno why this wouldn't have been mentioned, but if Australia already had a full season set out in September and season 2 is airing in march, why the heck aren't we getting the set until May? Just seems totally ridiculous to wait that out just so they can profit a little bit on individual releases, if they profit at all. If it's about parents buying for kids, who's not gonna go for a whole season for $25 bucks?
