Two weeks ago, we reported news of a new boxed set release of the Transformers Beast Wars series from Shout! Factory. Now Amazon.com has updated their listing for the Season One, 4-disk set with photos of the box's cover artwork. The art figures all of the initial group of Maximals from season one with the exception of Rattrap. This set will be released June 14 and in $21.99 + free shipping on Amazon.

Very nice box art, there.

Looks great. I loved this series and am definitely picking this up.

I own the rhino DVD I may pick this up too

What will this set have that will convince me to replace my Rhino set?

Never any love for Megatron and the Preds ... o well if it comes with any new cool stuff maybe. Other wise im very happy with my rhino version of both this and Beast Machines.

Am I being to picky hoping that there is a complete boxed set released at some point? I like my Matrix box set and would love to have the same thing for Beast Wars. I'll be getting these either way, just sayin...

What's with Cheetor's arm? looks weird.

Anyways I can't really say I like the box art on this one, there's nothing wrong with it, but I would have prefered some 2D artwork instead, like Madman DVDs.

I have not being a fan of Beast Wars in the past but after watching it on youtube I do quite like it, however I live in the UK and the DVD release of transformers has not being good.

So my question is will this be coming out in the uk and will RID, Armada, Energon, Cybertron, and Animated follow?

he's showing off his bling yo

This artwork kinda reminds me of the Canadian Beast Wars DVDs released by Alliance Atlantis.

watching beast wars for the first time right now- on season 3.... gotta say... a solid show i missed back in the day... love the characters and some solid stories... deff not "just a commercial"

which is funny bc i bought primal and both megs couple years back already knowing bw1 megatron and transmetal megs were the best megatron toys and character before seeing the show! lol

It looks like you'll get to enjoy Shout!Factory's upcoming Beast Wars Season One boxset a little earlier than we first anticipated. TVShowsonDVD is reporting the release date has been moved up from June 14th to June 7th, and the Amazon preorder agrees.

this was my first transformers show i saw back in 1996! i was 4! man i can't wait to own this

If they were doing Blu-ray, I'd snap it up in a second. I'll have to wait to see the packaging and extras before I make a decision. I do like the boxart, though. Bravo.

Ho ho, man, I can't wait for this!

This is great news. No more trolling Ebay looking for those incredibly-overpriced Rhino sets!
