Shout! Factory Street Dates: Beast Wars Complete Collection, Super-God Masterforce, & Takara Complete Collection

I wonder if the complete collection has any extra features that the normal release don't have, like the Omni dubs maybe.

Where is Animated at? Does anyone know if it is even in the works?

Hasbro has categorically said no to the Omni dubs. The only other Shout releases I have are MST3K, and they're rather light on extras, so I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Given the acrimony between Hasbro and Cartoon Network, any further releases (or re-releases) of Animated are unlikely.

Japanese Complete Collection (and all its tampered subtitles) will be MINE!

...even though I already own the Metrodome DVDs and the TV-Nihon fansubs. ^_^'

What Skyfire77 said. Also, this will most likely be like what the complete G1* and complete BW sets are like, being mere compiled releases of hte individual sets, bearing no more special features than what the individual sets already have.

* - not the Matrix G1 DVD set.

This reminds me I have to pick up Season 1-4 of G1 and the Headmasters! Gah. Anywho can't wait for these releases!

Seriously... I can't see why everyone is fussing over the Omni dub. It's AWFUL. It's so embarrassingly awful, I'd rather listen to an audio track of the brown note in the left channel and cats in heat in the right channel.

Amen! The Japanese audio with English subs is the ONLY appropriate way to watch these.

Any clamoring for the pathetic Omni dub simply because it's in some kind of English is nothing more than discrimination and Xenophobia.

my question is why masterforce release in december and we migh wait fo victory in april
it should be masterforce sebtember
victory december like a 1 mounth release each instead of 3 months i am not complaining but

I wouldn't go that far. Some people just prefer an uncluttered picture; lord knows I watched anime dubbed at first. The funny thing is though, now I tend to pick up more with subs.

The subs can be turned off easily.

Good thing too, seeing as how Hasbro meddled with these subtitles.

It appears Shout! Factory's The Complete Japanese Transformers Collection won't be hitting retail in early December after all. Just a few days ago TVShowsonDVD posted scans from Shout! Factory's catalog indicating the already delayed The Complete Japanese Transformers Collection would be released on December 6th. However, Shout! Factory's Brian Ward has debunked that date in this recent tweet:



Sorry folks, it looks we'll be waiting a little bit longer for this one.

It did seem a little strange that Victory and the Japanese Collection, which includes Victory, would both be released on Dec. 6th. That sucks. So many awesome characters in all 3 of these series!

Or people who just enjoy inflicting pain on themselves.

Here here! The dubbed version of Headmasters and Victory(don't have Masterforce) are hilariously bad. The subbed version is far superior. Though, I'll still break out the dubs for a laugh every now and again.

Mind you, I did leave out the notion of taking a shot each time someone utters "The Power Pack!" or "Sparkle" during the show.

Ahh my beloved G1 characters Billy, Phillip, Wally, Sparkle, Jollo, Roadimus Prime, Sappo, BM, Unicorn and their trusty spaceship "Spaceship Bruce."

Did I mention the Omni dubs change all the characters names?

They need to get their gawdamn story straight. This is annoying.

Seriously. I read that tweet and felt really irritated. It seemed unprofessional as well. Like let's take a bad situation, and then make a joke out of it

"don't be fooled by what the fine folks of your fan site's news team say, let alone our own site!"

While typos happen all the time, and information can get lost in translation, apparently they are playing telephone at Shout Factory. I had already paid for this item, I did what was required of me to receive this set. They had my money for a month before they decided the product wasn't finished... So they returned my money. Fine. Stop tweeting about it and get this shit made. December 6th isn't the date? Tell me what it is then.
Amateur hour at the ole Shout Factory.

That's real talk right there.

I know what I'm doin this weekend!

I am curious to know the status of Victory or perhaps the other Beast Wars series. Any word on whether or not these will ever see the light of US Day?
