Transformers - Season 1: Vol. 1

Here we have the first 5 episodes of the first season shown in 1984-85.

The Transformers live on the planet Cybertron.The Autobots(Good) are automobile transformers which espape on a ship to seek new sources of power.They are followed by the evil Decepticons plane transformers who wants the power to control the galaxy.Their ship crashes on the Earth and 4,000 millions years after the robots are activated and given the auto and plane presence.

The Decepticons plans to get all the Earth power resources to made cubicals of energy and return to Cybertron to control the galaxy which the Autobots must impide in order to protect Earth and all humankind.

The Dvd transfer is ok but the sound despite is Dolby 5.1 sounds a bit scratchy sometimes and fades also.
There isn't any subtitle or caption nor a Spanish audio track avaliable on the Dvd so that's why I give only 3 stars of 5.

Resuming a good title based on a classic cartoon of the mid 80's with no extras nor subtitles.

I hope Rhino Video gets the info and the next Dvd transfered from Vhs(G.I.Joe) would be better.

After watching G.I.Joe cartoons from the same era, I was fully expecting to be disappointed watching my favorite cartoon as a child, the Transformers.

Imagine my surprise when I watched this first DVD! I was amazed at the quality of the dialogue and how well the animation holds up. Granted, there are numerous continuity errors, and there are numerous occasions where the animation is rushed. These flaws are obvious but don't really subtract from the whole package, nostalgic as it is.

If you watched this show as a child, you're going to enjoy them again with this DVD. Don't listen to the detractors about the extra sound effects as they're not noticeable in the least.

However, I would recommend that you save a little bit more and buy the Season 1 boxset.

This single Transformers DVD disc is the contains the very first five episodes of the Transformers: Generation 1 cartoon (1984)! I like this DVD a-lot because I remember in September, 1984 watching this show on television after school. the episodes in this disc are:
The Transformers (September, 1984)
1)More Than Meets The Eye Part 1
2)More Than Meets The Eye Part 2
3)More Than Meets The Eye Part 3
4)Transport to Oblivion
5)Roll For It

These Transformers episodes ar the best because the introduce the original Transformers like Optimus Prime(voice by Peter Cullen) and Megatron (voice by Frank Welker)in the series. I highly Recommend this Transformers DVD to anyone who is a Transfan! Witness and take part in Television history! Highest Possible Recommendation!
