I said it. The writing is greatly improved and the production quality skyrocketed compared to season 1. If you love Transformers G1 and have to choose between season 1 and 2. Get this by all means. Plus it contains the episode with the most brilliant subtle joke ever on Transformers. All the Autobots easily make the jump up the cliff except one who stumbles slightly while pursing the ninja robot. It's not like they said his name a million times right before to make sure everyone got the joke. The plots are deeper with better character development and there is far less reliance on puns. There is an episode where the Decepticons get drunk. It is absolutely hilarious. So many great moments scattered through the disks. I highly recommend it.
P.S. Watching this collection reminds my why I hate Michale Bay so much.

I would like to thank Shout Factory,a division of Rhino Records for releasing the 25th Anniversary Collection of Transformers Generation 1 on DVD.Rhino has always done a great job with pulling out and restoring records and videos that went out of production years ago.All the Frank Zappa records and rarities. Now they are doing 1980's G.I.JOE and Transformers animation.I plan to pick up all the seasons of G.I.JOE and Transformers or just wait until both mega-sets come out in November.
Yes they are available for pre-order on Amazon! The gift sets look awesome with all kind of goodies.Those releases are the complete series of Transformers and Joe.The Transformers Season One had some of the original toy commericals from '85 and '86,but Season Two Part 1 does not.But it's all good,you get the first 28 episodes of season two because in 1985 Hasbro and Sunbow ordered more episodes.
Transformers was a blazing success and a money-making machine back in "the day".For years I wanted to buy all the Transformers and GIJOE DVD's on Amazon but they were all over-priced.Now these collections are very afffordable and nowadays I will never second guess purchasing them all.It's like I missed my chance the first time due to some "personal decisions". But if you are a hardcore Transformers fan like me and still like to re-live your glory days,then you understand me clearly.
So if you want these DVD's then you better not hesitate picking them up on here on Amazon.The more limited they become,the more pricey they become.This definitely applies to all the original 1980's toys and their commemorative re-issues.Shout Factory/Rhino is doing a seamless job with restoring the color of the animation as well as missing scenes not in the originals.They cleaned it up a great deal and corrected some slight errors.
You will be pleased if you have the right audio set-up.These DVD's do not sound right on a 5.1 computer speaker system.I watch most of my DVD's on my PC.But they absolutely rock on a 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound set-up.Transformers Generation One 25th Anniversary DVD's are a celebration and perfect companion to the 25th Anniversary Collection of toys out in stores.Now we have another chance to own a piece of nostalgia from our childhood.Now if you ask me,that's just straight-up bad-a**!

This is an excellent reminder of how 80's tv was just that much better than one remembers. Transformers is an awesome series that would eventually be made into an insulting movie franchise. No real surprise tho, hasbro and the toy producers of Transformers have been screwing over kids for decades. They are like the George Lucas of toonville. Like releasing 10 versions of Megatron of 5 versions of Prime. This cartoon is great, buy it.

With the success of the three-part mini-series and the first 13 episodes of Season One, the second season of "THE TRANSFORMERS (More Than Meets the Eye) featured on television back in 1985 featured more characters and more episodes (49 total) which then led to "The Transformers: The Movie" in 1986. And now the second season, volume one will be released with 28 episodes (covering episodes 17-44). And with the release of the first season from SHOUT FACTORY, Transformers fans were happy that the company has corrected problems that were evident with the original DVD set release (from RHINO), have no fear, the second season also features the corrected problems and any problems that were in the old 2002 releases, can expect corrected episodes in the SHOUT! FACTORY releases.
Needless to say that the second season brought excitement as fans were treated with more Dinobot and Insecticon episodes, the introduction to combining teams such as the Aerialbots, the Stunticons, the Protectobots and the Combaticons.The second season also featured introductions to Autobots: Beachcomber, Cosmos, Powerglide, Seaspray, Warpath, Grapple, Hoist, Red Alert, Skids, Smokescreen, Inferno, Tracks, Perceptor, Blaster, Devcon and Omega Supreme. Meanwhile, the Decepticons had Dirge, Ramjet, Thrust, Blitzwing and Astrotrain and many more. Also, the second season would feature more humans that would befriend the Autoobts such as Chip and Carlee.
