The BBFC have an interesting listing for the UK Transformers Animated Season 1 DVD which is due for release on the 20th October 2008. The listing shows that the DVD only contains four episodes and not the full 13 included on US release which is due out on the 19th August.
The listing is for "Volume 1,Series 1,Episode 4-7" with a running time of 91 minutes and 36 seconds with a PG rating. The episodes listed are:
Episode 4: Home Is Where The Spark Is
Episode 5: Total Meltdown
Episode 6: Blast From The Past
Episode 7: Thrill Of The Hunt
The DVD has been listed on Play.com for some time with a RRP of £9.99 and a listing price of £7.99. This price is less than the 3-part pilot, Transformers Animated: Transform and Roll Out (RRP £12.99, Play price of £8.99). The price on Play backs up the suggestion that the series will be released in multiple parts within the UK rather than an complete series boxset. This is not 100% confirm, as it could be that the BBFC are yet to rate the other discs, however as the US release is confirmed as a 2-disc box set of 13 episodes, it is unlikely that the 2nd disc would contain 9 episodes. We will attempt to clarify the release with Paramount UK.
