[ TRANSFORMERS:
G1 SERIES> AUSTRALIAN BOX SET DVD RELEASES FROM MADMAN
ENTERTAINMENT ]
Yes, that's right, Madman
Entertainment are back again to give us even more region
4 Transformers goodness, this time in the form of the beloved
G1 cartoon series! The guys at Madman have been nice enough
to give me the lo-down on their up-coming G1 DVDs, including
details on pricing, release dates, synopsis promo text and
even cover art, which has been created by artists at both
Madman and Dreamwave! So let's get stuck into it shall we?

UPDATES FROM MADMAN ENTERTAINMENT |
|
|
Madman
told me that they wanted to keep the price down for
this one - as they did for their Transformers: The Movie
DVD release - while still hopefully delivering a quality
product which fans will love, and so have decided to
tag their sets at a mere $59.95
each, with the goal of loading all extras onto series
4.
The first release, Series 1, is a box-set with three
individual DVDs (as with Robotech) and is due to be
released on November
12, 2003. At this
stage, they're planning to bring the series' out quarterly,
which should see us eventually overtaking the US and
UK.

[ SYNOPSIS
]
Written by our good
friend Dean over at Madman, here is the synopsis text
featured on the back of the box:
"1984: Laying dormant
for millions of years, the Mt. St. Helens eruption awakens
a mysterious mechanical race of beings from their slumber
- the Transformers.
With the amazing ability to transform from robots to
vehicles and back again, the "Robots in Disguise"
now continue their age old battle on Earth, as Optimus
Prime and the benevolent Autobots fight to protect humankind
from the maniacal Megatron and his evil Decepticons.
Will the Autobots and their human allies triumph over
Megatron and his armies?
Before Beast Wars, before Armada, witness the birth
of the legend of the Transformers!"

DISC COVER ART ]
Yes, that's all
very interesting, but what do they actually look like
I hear you cry! Well, wonder no longer, as you can now
view the very first glimpses of the three DVD slicks
contained within the box set below, and as you can see,
Dreamwave are continuing to collaborate with Madman
on the production of their Transformers releases, which
is fantastic to see!
They have decided to alternate the boxes between Autobot
and Decepticon themes, and Matt Currie, the guy who
came up with the menu design for the movie from concepts
suggested by Dean, myself and many fans, is designing
the DVDs and slicks for their G1 releases as well.

TELL MADMAN WHICH CHARACTER YOU WANT AND WIN A SERIES ONE BOX
SET! |

Even
more exciting is the fact that Madman have asked me to again
give everyone the opportunity to have their say and provide
feedback to them, this time concerning the characters which
will be appearing on future DVD covers for the remaining series'!
For Series 2 - Part 1, they have told me that they will be
featuring the following characters on the DVD covers:
Disc 1: Megatron
Disc 2: Starscream
Disc 3: Shockwave or Soundwave
But what they want to know is what you'd
like to see on Disc 3? Shockwave or Soundwave? You
decide!
They also want your suggestions for the rest of the series'
covers as well, so now's the time to have your say and make
yourself heard, because there's a good chance that the most
popular suggestions will be chosen!
So what I'd like you all to do is use the following template
and send your character suggestions in to me at:
myvote@theyareamongus.com
bearing in mind that Madman have decided that Series 2 - Part
2 will be Autobot themed, Series 3 - Part 1 will be Decepticon
themed (with post-movie characters) and Series 3 - Part 2
will be Autobot themed (again, with post-movie characters).
They apparently have something special in mind for series
4, but that will have to be a surprise for now!

Not that you need any incentive
to have your say, but the nice people at Madman have decided
to sweeten the deal anyway, and are offering two
series one box sets and accompanying posters to two
random fans who send in their suggestions!
13/11/03: Well,
thanks to everyone who sent in their suggestions, they have
all been passed over to Madman, and the lucky DVD box set
winners have been announced here |
