We initially reported on the listing for a new edition of a 3 disc Blu-Ray for the Japanese release of the Transformers Generation One animated series - including 100 episodes from Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers and Transformers 2010, which are the Japanese versions of Transformers G1 Seasons 1-2 and 3 - back in August. We now have some additional news in terms of artwork accompanying the set, all by veteran Transformers artist Guido Guidi: one for the front, one for the back, and several more around the rest of the box set, featuring the entire cast of Seibertron Warriors (Autobots) and Destron Corps (Decepticons). Check it all out below!

Looks like there is some English audio, is this the first time Rebirth is being released in Japan? Do we know if the audio and video has been remastered?

If there's english options, might this be the first time Japan gets all the US eps uncut? And any possibility those legendary J-exclusive clip shows like 'Airbot vs. Stuntron' are in there somewhere? That would make this one interesting set.

Hang on a sec there, guys. When it mentions English audio, it's only referring to that option for just "Day of the Machines", "Attack of the Autobots", and Parts 1-3 of "The Rebirth", as those were the only episodes that weren't originally aired in Japan back in the 80s, and later were released in Japan on the old Pioneer Laserdiscs and DVDs in uncut form with optional English audio and Japanese subtitles.

As for the clip shows, no, those sadly are left out of this release, as this is just a recycling of all the same material that was previously included in the old Pioneer DVD boxed sets.

For this Blu-Ray release, Disc 1 contains all the contents of the first FSRLTF DVD set:

Episodes 1-35 of FSRLTF
Bonus feature: Commercials

Disc 2 contains all the contents of the second FSRLTF DVD set:

Episodes 36-63 of FSRLTF, plus "Day of the Machines" and "Attack of the Autobots" in Japanese
Optional English audio and Japanese subtitles for "Day of the Machines" and "Attack of the Autobots"
Bonus features: "Scramble City: Mobilization", "Exciting Transformer!", and more listed in the description above

Disc 3 contains all the contents of the Transformers 2010 DVD set:

Episodes 1-30 of Transformers 2010
Parts 1-3 of "The Rebirth" in both Japanese and optional English audio with Japanese subtitles
Bonus feature: Commercials

So the video isn't remastered?

No moreso than it was for the Pioneer DVD release. It's all the same content of the same quality just put onto fewer discs.

I should've figured. It's a nice set but not a lot here for me, especially since I can't play it.

Japan and North America share the same Blu Ray Region (Region A), or were you meaning you just don't have a Blu Ray player?

Also I'm wondering, although it's not advertised, I wonder if these are just SD quality on a Blu Ray disc (since as has been stated, there is no remastering going on here)? A couple of distributors in the united states(Eastern Star/Discotek is one I can think of), have been utilizing this, but they make it clear in the adverts (SD on BRD...) because they can get an insane amount of episodes on one single disk, and the compression rate on a Blu Ray has very little degradation. For Fist of the North Star they can fit around 50 episodes on a single Blu Ray, but at standard definition.

I didn't know we share the same region. That puts this back on the table as well as the remastered anniversary edition of DYRL.

I do believe that they're using blu-ray to save space, good idea no?

^ Yes it is nice. I'd actually have a lot more Japanese Blu rays myself but...1. They are ungodly expensive & 2. very rarely, if ever have English subs (they are made for a Japanese market...so they don't try to cater to other languages).

The price has to do with the rampant piracy over in Japan
