...WTF, you have to buy Transform and Roll Out seperately!
Hardly a "complete" first season!

So it will be released around the same time as the toys then?

True but this is Paramount we're talking about here. A company known for releasing hit movies from 5-15 years ago (films like Braveheart, Face/Off, The Untouchables, and others) and just now releasing them on 2-Disc DVDs with a few more special features than their standard one disc versions (which cost $20 USA).

On the old one disc versions maybe you basically got the trailers as the special features and maybe a commentary track (as in the case of Braveheart).
