Does anyone know if this differs from the Rhino set with regards to the above quote?

Well this is just great, now I have to buy this. With new Movie toys on the horizon, too.

I don't think I ever saw the G1 cartoon back in the day, this will be fun. And it will certainly fuel my recent G1 toy kick.

Uh-oh...

Does anyone have already some information if the episodes are the real old version from the 1984 or the remastered Versions from the last DVD Season boxes from Rhino ?

I'm still waiting for them to release a G1 special edition with all of the animation errors fixed.

I have all of the original Rhino releases. They are remastered in Dolby 5.1. They did a good job. You KNOW when the seekers are flying in

Stereo, but not Surround? That's too bad... still I really want this. Especially for the fridge magnet.

Yea, I've got the Rhino set too, and I just want to know if it's worth buying again. Looking like "No".

What?! I wouldn't want that. The crummy animation is part of the nostalgia for me.

Archival Hasbro toy commercials =

That's fantastic. I'm really looking forward to this.

Yes, it will. The Rhino sets added a bunch of whizzbanny effects noises that were greatly distracting. This new set won't have them.
