Transformers Fans,
Please forgive the form letter. As you can imagine, we've received many emails about this problem.
First of all, we sincerely apologize for this pressing error and want to personally replace your DVDs with ones that contain the correct episodes. Please mail yours (only the disc, please) to:
Rhino Customer Service
10635 Santa Monica Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90025
If you bought your DVD on or near the May 8 release date, you might experience a delay of a couple weeks, as we're waiting on replacement discs from the plant.
In addition to our direct efforts with customers, we will be recalling affected product from retailers.
Again, we apologize for the inconvenience.
Dr. Rhino
Since I thought the replacement discs should long be available, I've been feeling confident that, if I walk into a store today and re-buy it, I will get the corrected version. However, that you are only now complaining about it makes me wonder! Since, in fact, I never saw info anywhere that stated that the problem was actually corrected.
If nothing else, we can both mail our discs in to the address "Dr. Rhino" passed on and get the fixed versions.
So, this coming weekend, I will re-buy it and see what is inside! I'll let you know,

Widescreen is Family Fun!
Season 1 is 65 eps
Actually, Season 1 has 16 episodes (back when it was a Saturday morning cartoon). When it went 5 days a week in Season 2, 48 episodes were made (#17-65). Season 3 produced another 29 episodes, and then there was the 3 part Rebirth finale. A season 2 box set will be interesting... I wonder if they'll use DVD-18 to squeeze as many episodes as they can onto a disc.
A little on subject, little off...but if you want some of the best transformers stuff, hunt down issues of the comic. Issues 60 thru 75 are awesome, dealing with the origins of the Transformers and how Unicron ties into it all, leading to a massive battle on Cybertron with all the transformers united against Unicron. They kill off tons of major characters in that issue, as the Matrix was lost forever, so there was no weapon to use against Unicron. The explanation of what the Matrix was and what Unicron truly was was really damn cool. These issues are getting really rare, hunt them down if you can.
Some issues of the TF comic were collected into a graphic novel recently. I only read a little bit of it, but it sounds like the same story you are describing. In the part I read, Ratchet and Megatron got fused together, and Unicron transported Galvatron away from a "possible future".
