I saw the trailer on the G1 movie DVD that the entire G1 series was going to be remastered and released in 2007.
Is this going to happen or not? Because I can't find them anywhere.

I'll go ahead and get the Rhino versions if I have to but it's disappointing for sure.

Are these at least halfway decent? I figure they can't be all that great but there don't appear to be a lot of choices, and the price is pretty good.

Purely spekulation? Or are there rumours? The clean-up job on the movie blew me away. So much so that I watched it 2 and a half times in a row (I fell asleep the 3rd time through-very late and much alcohol) as soon as I got it. It looks like they made it yesterday.
Obviously with the quality of much of the G1 cartoon being so far below par with the movie I'd not expect a remastered version to be that good but even so for some episodes it'd be really good.
Another idea for them would be for someone to go in and digitally correct the many animation errors. Of course that'd take time and money that is probably not available for a lowly 80s cartoon show, but just imagine it. Correctly coloured seekers, people's bodies staying the same colours within scenes, maybe even not having one character start talking and then another cutting to another who seems to be miming along with them. Ah, 'tis a grand dream.

They were listed as coming soon on the extras of the 1986 movie DVD. I assumed that Sony was going to be releasing them. I'll have to dig up my movie to confirm that, and I want to say they claimed it was going to be remastered.

No need to research the movie for that. The branch of Sony that was supposed to bring out G1 has since been dissolved. The liscences are supposedly held by someone else now, but no solid information so far.
