Shout Factory To Also Release Japanese Transformers Series?

[robo_rob]

I may get it only if there's subtitles, but I just don't see the need to get Head Masters, since I allready say it. :D and Masterforce so far doesn't look worth the money.

 

Putting it into context, maybe is is referencing Beast Machines, Beast Wars 2, and Beast Wars Neo. However, I would love to get Region 1 releases of the Takara Collection. I have the European release.

 

Beast Machines was a US ONLY series, and was the only "US ONLY" series ever. (Makes ya wonder what would happen if there where more. :wat )

BM did eventually get shown over there around 06.

I'd definately get those, especially if they are subtitled. Anything to replace my Headmasters and Victory dubbed DVDs... BLAH!

[robo_rob]

But the dub is the only way to enjoy 'I give my life for earth'!

A post on Twitter by Brian Ward seems to indicate they're going to release the Japanese Transformer series.

 

"Looking for bonus feature material re: TRANSFORMERS TAKARA COLLECTION. Commercials, etc. Got anything? #DoesntMeanImWorkingOnIt #YesItDoes"

No telling if it's just the G1 series, or Beast Wars spin-offs as well.

 

If ya'll have some good bonus feature material, send him a message @BWard028.

Yeah, we reported on it earlier this week (merged it into the previous thread). Brian Ward also posted a tweet giving something vague like this.

 

Very interesting, though, thanks for the information!

I'd get excited, but I highly doubt these will get dubbed anyway...

 

But hey if I'm wrong and Shout goes through the effort of getting them dubbed too, then hell yes I'm buying this!

Someone should email Shout later to find out, I will try later

I already have all the Headmasters episodes (English dubs) on DVD thanks to internet downloads. If they release the Headmasters series in digitally mastered (with a new/better dub) I might grab these, if not, then I'll stick with my DVD rips.

I actually sent them an email about a week ago inquiring about their intentions on releasing Headmasters, Masterforce, and Victory as well as the 1986 movie after reflecting on the bootlegs I saw at Wizard World Chicago. I got a big negatory on all counts. Could've been a smokescreen though....

I'd bet it was either contracts went finished yet, so they couldn't say. OR the customer service person who answers those emails didn't have the info yet.
