Classic Transformers coming to DVD next year

transformersPreview copies of Transformers: the Movie have been sent out (regular people like us can get our hands on it November 7), and according to TVShowsOnDVD, the DVD includes trailers for the original Sunbow Productions TV series to be released on DVD in 2007. Along with another of Sunbow's cartoons, GI Joe, I watched the Transformers religiously when it aired from 1984 to 1987, but never saw the movie and lost track of the franchise when Beast Wars came along and everything became too convoluted for me to keep track of. Also, I was in college by that time and had lost interest in the transforming 'bots as anything more than a fond memory of a childhood spent parked in front of the television. The trailer for the original series does not give a specific date of release, and apparently it doesn't say whether the episodes will be released as season sets, either. Hopefully we'll find out more about that soon.

I am going to be first in line for this on Tuesday but, I wasn't aware of the trailers for the G1 series. I thought the trailers were for the movie and the new live action production. How cool! So that means they will have the original Japanese commercials then? I love this release more and more as the clock ticks down!

The entire Transformers series from the 1980s has already been released on DVD. I know because I bought them all. You can even buy the complete boxed set on Amazon for $60.

i'm glad they are re-releasing the original tv show, after Rhino released them on DVD a few years ago. I got the first season and part 1 of the second season, but then they didn't get the rest because they stopped pressing them.
