Transformers Armada - Complete Series DVD Set

Unless there's any new bonus content, I'll be sticking with my Rhino DVD sets.

It'll skip Wal-Mart and be in various dollar stores.

I doubt it'll be touched up any differently from the Rhino version since the video source originates from Japan instead of the U.S.

And since Hasbro was content with having Rhino release the flawed footage of the U.S. version on DVD, I doubt their stance on this has changed. As Hasbro likely only owns the English version, I can't see them reaching out to Japan for the better masters of the Japanese version for this when they already have a version they figured was adequate enough to air on TV/release on DVD the first time around and likely deem acceptable now still.

I only have a couple of those single disc compilations. Any word if this will be a blu-ray release?

Yeah, I'm not familiar with the terms, but if this is the version with the most finished animation, then I definitely want it!

No bonus content at all? Easy, easy pass. Missed opportunity shout! It doesn't take much to get Armada fans to double dip.

Will buy if it's the better animation, may buy anyways. This would've been an awesome thing to get signed at Botcon 2012.

Ooh. I like the cover, actually. I'd only double-up if we could get a Blu-Ray version. Can't believe they haven't put out Animated on Blu-Ray, knowing they have it in high-def. Maybe now that Prime is over they'll slip that into the lineup.

wow. Great list of extras off the top of your head. They need you on the team!

Really enjoyed the Armada comic, actually. I thought all the minicon character development really enhanced the Armada franchise and storytelling.
