That packaging looks like a real pain in the ass.

Regardless on how this thing looks, IMHO why buy a trilogy pack when another sequel is on the way...? I'm gonna pass!

Don't really get the appeal of the film strip. Unneeded crap. And that packaging would be a pain in the ass.

They're still releasing another edition of DotM alone on DVD, right? One with at least commentary and a few other extras? I already have the first 2 films on DVD so unless this is absolute awesomesauce, I'm gonna pass. I might just end up buying the DotM release currently out.

I'm quite happy with the barebones release of DOTM to be honest, the extras on the other two DVD's aren't worth it. Little to nothing to do with the Transfomers, all about stroking Bay's ego and how great he is , so no thanks I'll take a pass. Actually I'll pass on this too, I have all three on DVD(though I'm not proud to say I own ROTF). The packaging looks stupid; diamond plate stand, a case that folds into an upside down triangle thing? WTF?!?!?!?! What does that have to do with the movies? I mean if it looked like the Allspark or Matrix, but this looks like nothing. Oooooh, it comes with a film strip, whoopty freakin doo! I'm not sure if this could suck anymore than it already does.

It could if it had all 3 of Michael Bay's Transf.... Oh wait.. It does.
Its an interesting idea, but the design of the case, in the typical MB style of "show EXTREME close ups so no one notices how bad it truly is", so we really can't tell what the hell it is, seems more suited for a re-release of The Fifth Element since the case looks like one of the elemental runes near the end of the movie.

No thanks. I'll save my money and buy a Transformers toy.

I'm not giving the TF movies anymore of my money. I saw them in theatres and wish i could have my money back.
Accept fot the first one though. It was acceptable. The rest...........SHITE.

Can't wait to get this set!

If it's going to have that many moving parts they should have considered a design I made earlier this year:

That final design looks unsightly and awkward to use, but not nearly as bad as the 'Autobot Logo Head' version they are issuing for Europe.

We have some new details regarding the Transformers Trilogy Ultimate Collection DVD/Blu-ray we first brought you word of earlier this month. nelson, the site admin of Michael Bay's Official Shoot for the Edit forums, has the revealed the following:

• There will only be 5,000 made.
  
• They will be autographed by Bay.
  
• Will be sold on Amazon.com and another US retailer.
  
• They will contain the 3 TF Blu-ray movies + behind the scenes stuff.
  
• It will be out in December

Here are the images we brought you earlier:

Blu-ray? This is useless to me! I can't afford a blu-ray player! It's bound to be insanely expensive if there's only 5000 of them! And I don't want Bay's horrid scrawling on my cases! JUST GIMME THE GODDAMN MOVIES BAY!

DITTO!

Umm, if they're only making 5,000 of these things, isn't it going to be ridiculously expensive?! Why can't they release just a nice but normal box set with bonus discs of additional content like every other trilogy?! I'm not looking forward to this one. It seems like they keep giving us everything that we DON'T want. Sheesh.

RAGE!!!
a) it will be expensive
b)i don't have a blu-ray deviceable thingamaboby...

You will in the future though.

I have the regular movie, I just wish they'd include a "Deluxe" edition with deleted scenes. Like say, when Sentinel kills Skids and Mudflap after he murders Ironhide. From what Bay and Nelson have said, weren't those scenes filmed, finished and the 'bots rendered, but just cut from the final product? Makes you wonder what else was finished but cut...

What the hell would be the point? It's a damn cartoon! The quality would look no different from the DVD version. Even so, hardly any of the general public would buy it. Hasbro is paying attention. You want Blueray? Take the DVD version, get a blue marker and draw the Blueray symbol on the top of the case and on the front of the disk. There you go.

You do realize that cartoons can be visually remastered to look more vibrant, cleaner , and up-to-date, yes? That's what happened with both the Kid Rhino and Shout! Factory DVDs of the G1 cartoon. You think they just used nothing but the original broadcast masters? Of course not. They refined the video and audio of the G1 cartoon to make it be the best it could be. The same was done for the G1 movie in its various special edition DVDs, but that's probably as best as its gonna get. After all, the UK DVD release looked exactly the same as the Sony U.S. DVD release.

That's kind of what I meant.

indeed,wtf is it?

Too expensive. Lame and not enough bonus features. Stupid film cell as a "bonus." It contains ROTF.

Enough reasons not to buy right there.
