The historic struggle of good vs. evil is brought to life again in this all-new Transformers animated series!

In the 22nd century, Detroit is the hot spot for all manner of techno-geeks, industrialists and all things robotic. It's where the future is, and where money is being made thanks to the city's thriving robotics industry. Of course that means Detroit is also the hot spot for all things criminal, evil, and that brings us to our story.

50 light years earlier, a young ragtag group of Autobots led by Optimus Prime stumble upon the most important artifact in Transformers history; the Allspark! The Decepticons are in hot pursuit of the Allspark and its secrets to controlling the universe. Now Optimus Prime and his new band of Autobots must fight for their lives and the future of Cybertron. The Autobots are able to escape the Decepticons and crash-land in Lake Erie on the unknown planet called Earth, where they remain in stasis for 50 years.

Our story begins when Optimus Prime and his young team are awakened from stasis, just in time to help the new "organic life forms (humans)" fight the evil villians in Detroit, but in order to save the humans and fight off the criminals they have to convert into their robot forms! In doing so, they save the day and become heroes, destined to fight all evil on the planet Earth and beyond!

Gotta admit, i was caught out on this one! I thought it was the entire season 1 collection, as sold in the us. No such luck! The series is pretty good, but does turn into which g1 character will be turning up in this episode pretty quickly. I say it's worth getting as a series, but get the r1 release of the entire season, as it's only a few quid more the just a few episodes.

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars Play.com means Volume 1 not Season 1.

Don't buy this DVD if your expecting the whole of season 1, basically it's actually Volume one and 91 minutes long (approx 4 episodes). I have seen most of Transformers Animated and not bad once you get over the new styling of the characters. Then along comes SARI, more irritating than Snarf from Thundercats. Bumblebee is a few degrees short of being a prankster. Wise is usually the word to describe Optimus Prime, however not in this series as he has been dumbed down just a bit. And whose idea was it to use the voice artist of Spongebob to do Starscream.?Watch and see for yourself
