Description
The Earth is the battleground in an age-old struggle for control over the universe. Ordinary looking planes, cars, and vehicles suddenly transform into mighty robots that wage war with the advanced armory of super technology. It's the Decepticons against the Autobots in a battle for the world's energy supply. With the help of human allies, the Autobots just might be able to keep control away from the power-hungry Decepticons. Featuring Episodes, "The Ultimate Doom, Part 1-3," Megatron plots to bring Cybertron into Earth's orbit and harness the resulting destructive energy. With the help of a human scientist, he plans to use hypnotized humans to assist him. Sparkplug is captured as a guinea pig for the experiment and is the one to press the button bringing Cybertron into Earth Orbit.

3 out of 5 stars Buy the other sets instead.......2004-02-01

I didn't buy this, but I'd recommend that if you want the Ultimate Doom episodes, plus the episodes "Countdown to Extinction" (where Starscream attempts to take over control of the Decepticons), "A Plague of Insecticons" (pretty self-explanatory) and "Heavy Metal War" (the first appearance of the Constructicons/Devastator), buy the Collector's edition Season 1, Volume 3. There's very little in the way of features, mainly just support for Dolby Digital and scene selection(which any decent DVD has anyway). Or you could just go with the complete boxed set-I only bought Volume 3 as it contained my personal favorite episodes.

5 out of 5 stars Prime 80's cartoon series!.......2003-04-07

Three episodes (3-parter) of the first season. No extras, average picture quality but better than VHS. Sound is very good quality, Dolby 5.1 remix but without disappointing special effects!

I love it - think of buying the whole boxset!

4 out of 5 stars THE classic 80s cartoon series.......2002-12-07

PICTURE QUALITY (3/5 STARS)
Picture is ok but blurred. Episode three has a rather bad transfer fault, or the source master tape was in that condition. It looks like taken from an 80s VHS cassette. But never mind, at least there are no remastering faults like in Rhino's first season boxset!

SOUND QUALITY (4/5 STARS)
Original stereo soundtrack - unchanged - no flaws but a bit flat naturally.

EXTRAS (1/5 STARS)
Nothing, absolutly nothing. Check out the season boxsets instead!

SPECIAL/UNIQUE ON THIS DVD RELEASE:
- original visual content - not remastered
- original stereo soundtrack - not remastered

COMMENT:
"The Ultimate Doom" 3-part story takes place in the first season of The Transformers from 1984. Don't know whether this episode was the best to be chosen for a test release or not. It's not one of my favourite episodes.
A am a huge fan of Transformers. My life wouldn't be the same without The Transformers... WHY DID THEY CANCEL THE SERIES!!!

5 out of 5 stars One of the best Transformers episodes!.......2002-07-21

"The Ultimate Doom" is one of the best episodes of the Transformers, and perhaps the #1 best episode from the first season. A must-have for even casual Transformers fans.

I'm not quite sure what this whole "Villains" thing is about, or why Cyclonus is pictured on the cover - he won't show up for another season and a half!

2 out of 5 stars A Misleading Dissapointment.......2002-01-10

Firstly, the two star review is because of the DVD itself, not the material contained on it. The episodes are from the first season of the original cartoon series, which I loved then and still do. I enjoyed reliving my childhood, but was not overwhelmed. The addition of Scourge on the cover (a character which did not appear until much later) made me expect espisodes that took place after the movie, when the characters and stories were much more indepth and intriguing. The remastering to DVD is laughable. Nothing on this particular DVD is superior to what a VHS version would contain. I can not see myself watching this DVD again, while I have watched Rhino's DVD of ' The Movie many times.
