Transformers: The Complete Series is a new 15-DVD collection featuring all 98 remastered original Transformers episodes (and respective special features) from the following:

Transformers: The Complete First Season (25th Anniversary Edition)
Transformers: Season Two, Volume One (25th Anniversary Edition)
Transformers: Season Two, Volume Two (25th Anniversary Edition)
Transformers: Seasons Three & Four (25th Anniversary Edition)

Touted as an "unlimited" general retail release to replace the limited Transformers: The Complete Series (25th Anniversary Matrix of Leadership Edition), this 15-disc Collector's Set (housed in a new shiny outer case) is recommended to fans who don't own any of the previous season set releases and don't care about the exclusive bonus material from the Matrix of Leadership Edition as this set no more, no less contains only the disc content from the separate season releases. None of the exclusive extras from the Matrix of Leadership set (nor The Movie or Japanese series) are included. To fans that already own the separate season sets, just know that aside from the new shiny outer case (which you can purchase by itself online at Shout! Factory Store, transforming your sets into one identical to this box set, according to the studio) all of the disc content are the same as the previous releases before you decide.

Special Features include:
Episodes restored to the original broadcast versions with a new stereo soundtrack created from the original audio.

Featurettes: "Triplechanger: From Toy to Comic to Screen - The Origin of the Transformers", "The Combiner: Forming the Animated Series", "The Autobots, The Decepticons & The Fans".

Rare PSAs

Archival Hasbro Toy Commmercials

I can't say enough about this cartoon! If you remember the original Transformers : Generation One cartoon from the 1980s, This is must have animated DVD set! The Transformers The complete series dvd set (1984-1987) is the original version. This is not the Michael Bay/Steven Spielberg live-action movies. Peter Cullen is the voice of Optimus Prime and Ironhide. Frank Welker is the original voice of Megatron and many other Decepticons. This set includes all 98 episodes of the original Transformers series. Bonus features include:

A++++++Buy the Transformers the complete series DVD set Today!

The whole series in a package deal... as opposed to selling you the seasons individually. So what if it's not on Blu-Ray? One, Just how would that improve the visual quality of an OLD cartoon? Two, is there a Blu-Ray player that doesn't play DVDs?

The stupid added Rhino sound effects are gone. That alone sells me on the set.

Sure this collection doesn't include the original movie, but I think that is ok for getting 2220 minutes plus bonus features of one of the most amazing animated series of all time, all for under $55 (15 dvds, that means each one is only $3.33, its GREAT). I may of been born after the 80s, but it doesn't stop me from enjoying it in every way possible. The box is superb, and the cover art for each DVD is amazing. The quality of the DVDs is amazing as well, that is what really stood out to me. Color looked fresh and the sound was amazing. Sure this is only DVD, and someone is going to complain about not having a blue ray of it yet, but DVD is just fine. Heck I still watch VHS videos from time to time, so I can live without blue ray for a while. Main point is this, if you have any love for the Transformers, and you want to have something to keep you entertained when you're pushing 70 or 80 and don't want to watch soap operas or cop dramas, then get this amazing DVD collection and enjoy it to the fullest. There is more than meets the eye in this box set!

Even though I haven't officially bought this awesome DVD set,I know three people who will be receiving this as a xmas gift this yr. I grew up on this cartoon and was absolutely thrilled when it put back on the air recently. I get up in the 6:30 in the morning just to watch this series and I'm almost 30. lol. The point is, if you know someone who was into the movies as well as the cartoon, this could be a most excellent nostalgic gift for someone (who you will witness) revert back to the awe-struck child they were. Get it! Ive already added this to my xmas list and sent it out in emails.

Just bought this set for an 8 year old who loves Transformers. HE LOVES THESE EPISODES and is thrilled there are so many. Descent price for this many hours of entertaiment. Arrived quickly too.

This product is totally awesome and it took me back to my youth and the extra features are great! I would recommend this purchase to any Transformers fan!

Transformers (G1) was one of my favorite toys and cartoons growing up so being able to have it all on DVD today is great.

The box set is good, it is not big and bulky like some box sets and that is nice.

Also the silvery front image of the box set is a visage of none other then Optimus Prime himself! When one stops to think that Prime basically is an embodiment of the Autobot ideals of goodness then it is quite fitting.

Not a bad collection of all 98 Transformers episodes, but I feel it should have more. The episodes themselves are worth the effort to get this set, but extras are a little short in my view. After season two, the animated film came out, and afterwards the whole Transformers series changed drastically, so much so that it doesn't even feel like the same series. Some characters died in the film, and never returned, and I feel the movie should have been part of this collection. That would make sense for those who have not seen it, and it doesn't help that its out of print on DVD and hard to find at a reasonable price(in most cases it cost more than this set does). The old TV commercials is a nice addition but parts of the frame are blurred out.

For the money you can't beat it but if you're a die hard fan you might be let down by the lack of extras. Only two of the many PSAs are included and it is the same way with the original toy commercials. The remastering makes it look better than it did when I watched it during the original broadcasts. I believe there were also some cast interviews included in another set that aren't in this one which is a disappointment. Still it's the best deal so far for the entire G1 US line. I hope they release more Japanese series from this company in the future.
