|  |  | The Complete Generation One series!
Four million years after crash landing on an unfamiliar planet, sentient robots with the ability to disguise themselves as common vehicles awaken on present day Earth. Engaged in a crucial race to find a new energy source for their home planet of Cybertron, Optimus Prime and the heroic Autobots must defend the innocent people of Earth against their archnemeses, Megatron and the power-hungry Decepticons.
In 1983 a fateful trip to a Japanese toy fair uncovered a phenomenon that would soon rule not only the world of toys, but also the realms of comics, airwaves and the silver screen as well. Since then, the war between the peaceful Autobots and the villainous Decepticons has captured the imaginations of children and adults alike, launching hundreds of collectible toys, comic books, animated series and feature films. Now Shout! Factory and Hasbro celebrate 25 years of Robots In Disguise with the 16-disc Transformers: The Complete Series 25th Anniversary Matrix Of Leagership Edition. This deluxe set includes all 98 restored episodes, new interviews, exclusive featurettes, concept art, archival Hasbro toy commercials, printable scripts and much more! This set also includes a collectible 60-page book and Autobot and Decepticon magnets.

| | This is a great set for the child in us all. the box itself opens up just like the matrix of leaderships which is really neat. The content is great including all of the episodes from the G1 series, oddly missing the movie though. The biggest drawback is the DVD cases themselves. The ones i received were very thin card board with and i kid you not the discs that sat in plastic bags thing disc shaped wal-mart bags. the DVDs themselves were actually a little roughed up due to this fact. One DVD even had the glue the glue melt from the cardboard onto the data side so I'm not sure if it's damaged or not as of this writing. The dvd cases i've already unfortunately torn trying to get the discs out because of aforementioned plastic bags. Overall the collection is good but i'd recommend getting some hard cases or cd sleeves to put the discs in and just holding onto the cardboard cases for the art that they are
| | | I bought this for my husbands birthday. He loves it. It comes with some extras that made the set even better. And if you buy it from Amazon it is over $50 cheaper then Best Buy.
| | | Having watched the RHINO releases before this. I have to say that the SHout Factory version is by far superior. THey have fixed many of the issues that Rhino put in when the tried to fix the pre broadcast videos they used.
THe packaging in the Matrix Edition is just simply... wow! THe sliding sides to reveal the full Matrix spark that is then lifted up to show the goodies. From beginning to end the picture quality is clear as a bell, much clearer than Rhino's.
The only issue is that Season 3 episodes are out of order in the continuity sense. I understand that that was due to a directive from HAsbro but, Octane finding "Starscreams GHost" while on the run from the Decepticons is before the episode (THief in the Night) that show's why the Decepticons are after him in the first place.
A minor issue (except that THief in the Night is on a seperate disc, so to do the continuity right you would have to pull the first disc out and put the second disc in and then back to the first disc to watch Starscream's ghost which is the last episode on DIsc one so after that you would then need to put back in Disc Two to carry on. A minor annoyance but still rather odd. THe Booklet is fantastic. With the artwork and Bios pulled from the hard to find DreamWaves "More Than Meets The Eye" issues. So that's important. The Extras are fun, although the kids fuzzy faces in the commercials are a little off putting.
All in all if you are a big transformer fan and want to see the interview with Bob Budiansky then this is a must and it's a steal at the amazon sale price.
Now I am going to Roll Out!!!!

| | I am very happy with the product. It brought up a lot of memories. I enjoyed this series as a child. Transformers: 25th Anniversary Matrix Of Leadership Edition [The Complete Series]The box the DVDs came in was excellant and it was fun pulling the box open to get to them out.The package came with an Autobot and Decipticons magnet. The DVD cases had pictures of the autobots and decepticons (Optimus Prime, Megatron, Rodimus Prime, Galvatron, etc...) on them. The DVDs played in the XBOX 360, Playsation 3 and Blu-ray players with no problems.
| | | This is a good set of DVDs, for what it is. The packaging is colorful and attractive, if a little gimmicky, and the DVD cases are sturdy. The content is slightly lacking, however. There are some extras like period commercials and advertisements, which are nice, but my real complaint is with Hasbro's continued insistance on presenting the episodes in their original airing order. This is not the intended release order (chronological order), or the order recognized by the episode numbering. It's frustrating to have to exit to the DVD menu to find the next episode in the series because if you select "play all" it may skip 3 ahead, then go back to the ones missed, making no sense at all. Other than that complaint (which is directed at the owner of the Transformers brand, not Shout! Factory), this is an excellent way to get all of your G1 transformers!
