TV Shows on DVD is reporting that a DVD of the new Transformers: Animated series is scheduled for release on June17th 2008. Not much in terms of details at the moment, but initial reactions combined with the run time of 70 minutes suggests that this may be a DVD-release of the three premiere episodes "Transform and Roll Out"

More on this story as it develops.

"There's been a new breakthrough in home video marketing- Instant Cassettes! They're out in stores before the movie is finished!"

"Naaaawww.."

"Here it is sir! 'Transformers: Animated'!"

First thing that popped into my head...

Now see, that's just not right... the DVD shouldn't be out before the damn toys!

True, but it would be close enough to the toys' release so where it's not a bad thing at all IMO.

Is this for the Prime and Megatron two pack?

I can see that happening too, since they made the one for Classics version of this set as well.

One thing that probably should be noted about the toy release date. Since it's in late June that they come out I'd be willing to wager a huge number of stores won't even put out the new toys until they make their fall changeovers...which won't be until the end of July/beginning of August. If I were Hasbro I'd look very closely at this habit: the loss of potential sales is significant...you'd lose a month of sales when the TV show's popularity would be at its height.
