No one cares what you think.

SHOUT, please consider a DVD of these episodes.
They have. They've tried to get Scramble City for the Matrix DVD set, but were denied it by Toei.
They tried to get Zone for this set. No word yet if they did or not.

Not a whole lot of material in those two. Perhaps if the first one does well in sales, we might see a Japanese Collection II with Zone, Scramble City, Beast Wars II and Neo.
No way would we get Beast Wars II and Beast Wars Neo so soon. Beast Wars II just came out on DVD in Japan for the first time since its original broadcast 13 years ago. BWNeo still isn't out on DVD yet. So, if we are to ever get them stateside, it'll be a while before such happens.

Yeah, with
no audio! We need sound! The UK Ultimate Edition of the G1 movie included it subbed and with sound, but it was a bootleg version.

Not when there's little-to-no talking during the action parts.

All I'm going to say to that is:
Danna nah nah nuh' HEADS ON!
Danna nah nah nuh' HEADS ON!
Danna nah nah nuh' HEADS ON!
There's no S. "HEAD ON!"

Both characters were changed for this show. Daniel was reduced to acting about half his own age, and Wheelie was changed from a cheery rhymer to a punk tough guy.

Chinchinchin Chichinpui!!!
Papapa payapapa!!!
Now you have it stuck in your head, too.
Dude, I have that, and every single Japanese TF song, on my phone.

"Ahhhh, silly Americans think Headmasters come from Nebulous, hahahahahaha SO STUPID!"
They got "The Rebirth" too. Much later on Laserdisc. So, they got both versions of the story, but one just holds the higher regard than the other.
