"Their Planet. A New War."
Wow, could they make it any MORE obvious that they're trying to make money off BM because of the movie buzz?

Nonetheless, that's a pretty cool picture. I like it.

I really like that. It looks very epic. Plus the new logo is very awesome. I love the G1 / BM combo. I wonder if it has any special features? While Rhino usually dropped the ball with special features, they did do a nice job with Beast Machines. In fact, I think I'll pop in BM while I continue to work on the site's redesign today.

I dunno. I prefer my single complete season boxset from Rhino. Extra features aside it's a nice collection. Though the Beast Wars sets really could have used some more features.

It's nowhere near as obvious as the ACTUAL reference in Movie Prequel #3, if you ask me.

I agree on both points. The lack of special features for a series as good as Beast Wars is just depressing. I didn't really care about the lack of features with the Beast Machines set.

It's different cover art which I expected, but looks good. Simple and cool. I'm really happy with this edition, because I'm live in Hugnary and I lack of R2 DVDs.
When Rhino release the whol BM series I'm verry sad, but now I've the chance to buy the whole series! I don't care the extra materials.

I can tell you right now Hotrod that that is not the cover for both Australia and Europe. Australia is NOT getting a season box-set of Beast Machines, just individual discs with 6 or 7 episodes a disc.

Season 1 has already been released in Australia, over two discs, 6 episodes on disc 1 and 7 on disc 2.
Disc 1: http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/792962
Disc 2: http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/792963

Thats what happens when Madman doesnt get the rights to Transformers. No extras, no features, nothing. :-(

It's already out in the Netherlands, and the boxart pic was already online in May.

The box art was online a while ago.

One thing I will give to Sony is even though there are no special features, £7 at HMV.co.uk or Play.com for 13 episodes is a very good deal and may even convince BM haters to give it a try.

The box art is done very well and seems to sum up the theme and mood of the series very well.
