A new advertisement found in Walmart has revealed information about an exclusive extra on the Walmart 2 disc Transformers Movie DVD set.

The Walmart Version of the Transformers Movie will not only contain the feature length movie, but also "Transformers: Beginnings", an exclusive prequel narrated by Optimus Prime himself, Peter Cullen.

You can see the advertisement by clicking here.

I usually get my DVD's from Walmart because there usually cheaper in this area now I have a great incentive to pick it up from only them

Just US or Canada too?

Misspelling Alert: your news headline says "pequel" instead of "pRequel"

Gotta be honest, a narrated storyboard doesn't do much for me. If this was an *animated* prequel like they originally said it would be, then I'd be on board with it.

I'm definitely sticking with my metal case edition from Future Shop over this one.

Anyone prepared to help a Aussie out with getting me a copy. Not sure if any store here would have it as a exclusive.

by **guarayakha** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 6:54 am

Is this the same animated-panel prequel mentioned sometime ago, or is this another entirely different version of it?

Seriously though, these exclusive stuffs are getting ridiculous.

This was reported about a month and a half ago.

So, it's just going to be a voice over? Bleh. It's not THAT hard to turn a comic into a cartoon... I should know:

PS--episode 1 is "almost" done... 4 pages to go. Looking for a release date around the end of the month.

this walmart exclusive could be a dud. Back when ROTS came out on dvd walmart was offering this dvd bonus called "The Story of Star Wars" narrated by 3po and R2. It basically summarized all of luke's episodes and all of Anakin's episodes and was like 30 min. long. There was some funny r2 and 3po interaction, live 'host' footage as well, but nothing too exciting. I was hoping for more. I am tempted by the walmart TF bonus - but wary.

I'm sure this exclusive will only be paired with the single disc version of the film, so anyone planning on buying the 2-Disc version will either be out of luck or have to buy another copy of the movie...

Which...

There might be some family member that might be willing to part with the exclusive.

As soon as possible, we'll need a review of the prequel disc to see if its worth it.

I bet this "exclusive" video will be on Youtube

WalMart exclusive for me!

News Credits: 1 · by **Gauntlet101010** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 1:26 pm

Here's an idea: how about a DVD with all the special features instead of all these damned exclusives?

You know what? I think I'll wait a few years to buy the DVD at all. Becuase, inevetably, the "ultimate" version will be released with a whole lot of other stuff not included in ANY of these versions.

i want it but wal-mart is destroying the U.S

by **optimusprime197532** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 2:03 pm
