This is a decent boxset , compared to the season 1 transformers remastered box-set , because the digital editors seem to have been less sloppy this time around.For those who don't know the current versions of tranformers episodes on dvds have been digitally remastered ... with enhanced sharper image quality and enhanced sound effects.There's good and bad in this digital remastery , the good is improved picture visabilty / colours have a bold makeover (Although the new colours seem to have a photoshop-ish look to them.) when compared to previous TV broadcast and home vhs/dvd releases.The bad news is that this processes has caused more errors to appear than the original versions because of sloppy editing. ( You can compare with previous releases , and see there are indeed more mistakes in these new , so called " digitally remastered " box sets )Luckily this time round , the editing wasn't as bad as in the previous box-set ..... so these episodes can be enjoyed much more .As with the last boxset , this version of the transformers episodes , the editors have inserted " out of place sound effects " which at times are so loud , they can drown out the original audio content ..... which is a shame .....Anyhow all in all , this is one of the better box-sets in this collection ....Overall artistic quality of the transformers show itself , was always abit questionable .... you get episodes with really good art and episodes with really bad art ..... so it becomes obvious different studios handled different episodes .....In this box-set are some great episodes , my personell favourites are " Insecticon Syndrome " and " Traitor " .....But then you got some real duds like : " autobot run " and " city of steel " where the art is just horrible compared to other episodes .....You also got some multi-parters which are really fun too .....Anyway, Transformers fans will be pleased with this box-set I reckon , especially considering the box-set that came before it was horrible in comparison.Kids of today might like to check out the robot-shows of yester-year for a laugh ( Some may grow to love it ) and adults who loved it may like to see their heroes once again and nitpick details here and there you never saw as a kid ...... oh yeah ... and new details/mistakes that weren't there before thanks to the digital remastering .....

Sheer 80's nostalgia and while dated and unbelievably 25 years old, these cartoons are a lot of fun and a joy to watch. While the live action Michael Bay films are good dumb fun and there is a decent modern Transformers cartoon, Transformers Prime, these are the original and best Transformers cartoons with classic characters and stories, and unlike the Michael Bay films the characters here you do get to know and can tell the difference between them. Animation is simplistic at least compared to today's standards but this show is just such good fun to watch and brings back a lot of memories. Only half of a huge 2nd season included here mind.

The Transformers series is great, this DVD release is very good, good picture and sound. For any fan at this price is a must buy.

Great for transformers fans

My son and I enjoyed watching the transformers DVD

The original Transformers series from the eighties in itself is very great and entertaining.The DVD release is very good, brilliant picture, crisp sound. The menues are well animated, with the original theme playing in the background.For this a price a must-go for all Transformers fans.

It's transformers, what's not to like?
