| TRANSFORMERS RID DVD BOXSET PART 1 |
First of all this is a beautiful Boxset and contains the first
series/season of RiD which was 20 episodes and has some good
episodes, some dull episodes and some fantastic episodes. One of the
better episodes being "The Decepticons" which first introduced us to
Scourge/Dark Convoy and other episodes such as "Commandos" and
"Bullet Train To The Rescue" which introduces JRX/Rail Racer.
The Boxset is the first of two and contains 3 disks in total which
have roughly 7 episodes on each disk with the last disk containing
character profiles on characters such as Megatron and Prowl and
others. The disks are held in clear plastic cases as shown in the
pictures with disk one having an Autobot logo on the front, disk two
having a Decepticon logo and finally disk three having a Predacon
logo on the front.
The layout of the DVD's themselves is extremely basic as the menu
just takes you to an option with which episodes to watch, so sadly
no extras, no deleted scenes, no Japanese sound/voice options but
there is the option for subtitles.
A very nice Boxset but would have been seriously better if ALL the
episodes were released together as one set instead of forcing people
to have to find part 1 and then hunt for part 2 which for some odd
reason was extremely rare
and especially rare to find in the UK. Part 2 is much better and
more sought after than Part 1 because the 2nd Boxset of RiD contains
characters such as Fortress Maximus and Ultra Magnus and the
episodes themselves are seen as much better than series/season one
as some episodes are seen as the best the series has to offer.
This was the first part of the complete collection of "Transformers
- Robots in Disguise" and was only ever released in the UK and
China/Japan. There are various reasons that the Boxsets have never
been released in America, one
reason is certain episodes contained scenes which involved buildings
being destroyed which reminded America to much of Sept 11th. Another
reason was because the company JETIX is owned by Disney and they
wont allow the DVD's
to be released in the states, doesn't make very much sense but there
are other reasons as well.
Well worth the money for both Boxsets as RiD was a return to
vehicles after the events of Beast Wars/Machines and the series as a
whole was much more accepted than what Armada was. If you have a
region-free DVD player or a
laptop DVD Player then you should have no trouble watching these
DVD's if your in America. Worth getting hold of and a very nice laid
out DVD Boxset. |
