This week marks the release of Shout! Factory's 25h Anniversary DVD release of Tranformers: Generation One season 1. While I'm certain many sites out there will be reviewing the series itself, I'm going to assume that at this point if you're here then you're familiar with the concept of Generation One and I won't have to explain that how in the 80's Hasbro came up with this awesome concept about Transforming robots that fought each other over energy resources to the degree that it depleted their home planet of Cybertron, forcing them to find new energy elsewhere. Or how that upon launching their very first mission to search for this energy outside their home planet, The Heroic Autobots were attacked by the Evil Decepticons causing both ships to crash on a primative organic planet over 4 million years ago. I also won't bore you with the details on how these robotic warriors were awakened on modern earth and in order to blend in with the humans and to disguise themselves from each other they took on alternative forms that resembled earth cars, jets, and even a Sony Walkman from the 1980s.

That said, let's dig in!
