Classic Transformers on DVD

Transform and roll out in 2D before the live-action next week.

Not enough Giant Robot posts you say? Well, before you start pre-ordering your tickets to next week’s Transformers; Revenge of the Fallen we suggest a quick peek at the 25th anniversary DVD set of the classic animated show from the 1984 to show to you what Transformers is really more than just Peter Cullen’s voice as Optimus Prime.

Get the first 16 episodes on a 3-DVD set and remember the cool boxy Transformers and how the story used to be about, y’know, the Transformers and not the human characters.

Bonus features for this set include:

• Restored to the original broadcast versions with a new stereo soundtrack created from the original audio
• Triplechanger: From Toy To Comic To Screen: The Origins Of The Transformers
• Printable Transport to Oblivion Script
• Rare PSAs
• Archival Hasbro toy commercials
• Limited edition Autobot magnet inside

It’s at HMV for a very affordable HK$255. We’d have loved a Blu-ray version of this, but its not in the cards just yet.

And here is the video for the theme song for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen by Linkin Park, who incidentally will be transforming The Venetian Macao on August 16th:
