If there was ever a reason to prefer Region 2 to Region 1 then it is coming in the form of the DVD release of Transformers: The Movie.

The R1 release (admittedly out ages ago) was pants. The extras list was non-existent. I mean it, there is nothing there. Fans were rightly very disappointed with it. Now they are being given what they wanted (and then some!).

The features list apparently goes as follows:

A Japanese "Headmasters" episode.
Commentary (don't know who by)
Original trailer
"The Touch" music video featuring Stan Bush
Isolated music soundtrack
Character profiles
Concept art
Toy commercials
Story boards & Interviews

And there's also one tiny little advantage over the R1 version - the R2 disc is in WIDESCREEN!

Save your pennies for later this month children.

"hmm. Look at Optimus Prime, hasn't he got a big truck?"

This is my favourite sentence of the week.

This looks cool, I have the video, but transformers on DVD?? Yes please. Apparently the R1 disc was in 4:3 because they couldn't find the 16:9 film before they made the DVD, but they found it in time for the R2 disc.

"Let's look at some Germans who love driving big trucks...in the nude..."

That kind of thing Goatboy? ;-)

No. Seriously, I'll be getting this DVD when it comes out...cool.

I'd prefer a commentary along the lines of the Eurotrash voice-overs.

But maybe that's just me

Nope its not a pointless extra...though it's obviously going to be a way too serious thing ! it'll all be about the imagery and symbolism of what's happening, themes and stuff like that. Think English literature and you won't be far off :(

A commentary?

What the hell is that going to do?

"And here is Optimus Prime, he's a truck and Oooo look, now he's a robot. Isn't that cool."

Pointless extra that one.

Was this the episode when the Decepticons were beaten by the of tweed jacketed teachers, lead by the HeadMaster himself?

I think I've got Transformers: The Movie on video years ago but having lost the label on the video I'm not sure if it is or not.
