TVshowsonDVD.com has revealed the cover art for Shout!Factory's upcoming Transformers: Super-God Masterforce DVD set. The individual set is scheduled to release on May 1st. Check out the cover art mirrored below.

A LONG-AWAITED CLASSIC TRANSFORMERS TITLE AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN N. AMERICA! This is essentially Season 2 of the Japanese series, where Season 1 was Headmasters. Following their victory over the DESTRONS (aka Decepticons) at the end of Headmasters, the CYBERTRONS (aka Autobots) depart Earth, leaving behind only a small group to protect the planet from any future menace. But when the powerful DESTRONS return to an unsuspecting planet, the CYBERTRONS must come out of hiding to defend their human friends once again - only this time they'll be unable to do it on their own. 42 episodes on 5 DVDs plus an art gallery. Original Japanese audio with all-new (and improved!) English subtitles.

Seen this art. Nice, as it's two of the show's best characters.

But Metrodome's and Madman's DVD covers look cooler.

"Ethnocentric English subtitles" is more like it! [-(

And, what on Earth? They used the logo for The Headmasters, instead of Chōjin Masterforce, at the bottom. #-o

Yes, indeed! Maybe they figure we can't read Japanese, so won't care what it says? 8-}

Most likely, it's just a placeholder logo until they get the art monkeys to scribble a new Masterforce one. Unless somebody has reeeeeeeally messed up, and it makes it onto the final!!

It's a good show. The first half is kinda boring, then it picks up when Overlord finally shows up. :twisted:

I've seen pics of the final Masterforce and Victory sets from the Complete Collection 3-pack. The Headmasters logo is there on both as well. :BANG_HEAD:

Did Headmasters get a separate release yet? And are any of these ever coming to retail?

They had to fix some problems with the DVDs. That's why they were delayed. Now that the complete box set has been made, they can get on with Victory individually.

However, no one's said anything about Beast Wars II and Neo. BWNeo isn't even on DVD in Japan yet.
