Are these the newer Transformer cartoons, or the ones from 15 years ago when I was a kid?

Do you think it'll be released at BB on the same date or even at all? If so, I might as well wait and save on shipping :)


hm it says retail is 60 bux but amazon has it for 45. might be cheaper at amazon but we'll see. worst comes to worst, you can buy it at BB for 60 bux to have it now, order another copy from amazon, and return it to BB :eek:

I have always felt that Best Buy keeps up on the new releases in movies and everything else. I would assume it will pop up online relativly soon.

DeepDiscountDVD.com, which is greatly favored by DVDTalk buyers, has Simpsons Season 2 for $36.60 SHIPPED and Transformers Season 1 for $47.84 SHIPPED. If their shipping price on Transformers doesn't beat Amazon after shipping charges are applied, they will beat Amazon's price for you so it does.

Dude, you are my hero, except you have to stick Thundercats in there somewhere.

I'd have to rate my favorite cartoons in this order:
Transformers
He-Man
Thundercats
GI-Joe
Voltron

<< MASK crusaders working overtime fighting crime....
ok i dont know why i remember that...

Holy crud does that terrible theme song bring back memories.

Anyway, these are the older transformers we're talking about. Not the new rehashes where they ruined everyone. Megatron became a tarantula and optimus became a tiger or something. How stupid...

time to turn back the clock 15 yrs or so. i guess the cartoon was good, but all the homework...and show and tell...oh no.

for those of you too young to know the transformers (ie. going back 15 yrs would mean you were still in your mum's tummy)

here's a brief history
