Seeing how they did the same logo with Super-God Masterforce, I am not surprised. :lol: But in their defense, all three series are technically part of a "Masters Trilogy" (in their case, "Headmasters"). :P

Also, I submitted a question on their site about the issue. So I will PM the response to you once I get it - If I get it. ;)

From what I was told, the "Complete Japanese Collection" set was not really worth buying, unless you bought it off their official site for both collection purposes and the Fortress Maximus lithograph. ..... Excuse me one moment.

:sad:

..... Back. I missed out on that art piece, is all. But besides that, Amazon.com has all three sets at a cheaper deal. And atop of them having improved subtitles, it is a better deal than buying their collector set. :D

Yes...unless they decide to put Scramble City and Zone together on DVD, which I remember hearing they're unlikely to do.

There's also Transformers: Zone, which Shout! Factory is not releasing.

And there's all the manga for each Japanese G1 cartoon series (though, a few of them aren't in continuity with their cartoon counterparts).

And the Transformers: G-2 fiction (minus one story). And a whole slew of other Japanese G1 fiction that are part of the cartoon continuity, thus making their version of the story vastly larger than ours. ;)

This is where the irony kicks in - Toei was sited as the reason why they cannot get either OVA series. They were quoted as calling Shout! Factory as a "third party" company and used that as a means to not hand off any portion of the episodes.

However... When I went to their animation studio, as part of a date I had with my current ex, their gallery has nothing stating their involvement with any Transformers series. :???:

Was there ever an actual reason stated as to why they weren't going to, or is it just down to those involved not wanting to?
