A pre-order has appeared on EzyDVD.com for the Australian DVD release of Transformers: The Movie. Not only does it give us an Australian release date and a peek at what may be the extras available on other releases of the disc, the limited edition packaging also "transforms" into a 15" tall Optimus Prime! 

The 2-disc DVD set, set for Australian release on November 1, includes:

• Limited Edition "Transforming" Packaging with Outer Plastic O-Ring Sleeve
• Deleted Scenes
• Audio Commentary by Director Michael Bay
• 4 Featurettes
• 2 In-Depth Making of Documentaries
• Interactive Content
• Easter Eggs

Again, this is strictly for the Australian edition, but this lends credence to the rumored October U.S. release date (Australian releases tend to come a week or more after the U.S.), and DVD features for major releases are often (but not always) the same in Australia and the U.S. However, packaging is often different, so this doesn't necessarily indicate anything about whether Optimus Prime will stand tall on your DVD shelf this winter. And for anyone considering importing, remember: you'll need a DVD player capable of playing Region 4, PAL formatted DVDs.
