If Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is leaving you wanting more Transformers goodness, head on over to Madman.com and pre-order their soon-to-be-released complete Transformers Collections.

Due for release from June 24th 2009 are three complete collections:

The Complete Generation 1 collection
The Complete Japanese G1 collection and The Complete Beast Wars collection

Each complete collection comes with all episodes for each series (98 for the G1 collection, 110 for the Japanese G1 collection, and 52 for the Beast Wars collection), as well as being jam packed full of extras such as television commercials, interviews with voice cast and crew, and toy galleries from Seibertron.com.

Each set will retail for AU$99.95. Be warned that those living outside of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific region will need a multi-region or unlocked DVD player in order to watch both the Beast Wars and G1 sets, as both are encoded in region 4 PAL, while the Japanese G1 complete collection is region free.

Also due for release on June 24th is the original 1986 Transformers feature film on Bluray, with extra including "The Touch" music video clip, a Q&A with Peter Cullen, the Scramble City movie tie-in episode and more.

Does any body out there know if the Japanese G1 series is in English?

For the most part no, Japanese Audio with English subtitles.

However there is an English audio track on selected episodes of Headmasters (but they are terrible dubs).

Does there exist an English dub of Headmasters, Masterforce, and Victory, you say? Why yes! Yes there does!

BUT! It is quite possible one of the WORST, MOST PATHETIC, English dubs of all time. You can read about it here.

Be advised that these are PAL format and there are many US dvd players and TVs that cannot play or display PAL. The Xbox 360 works as a PAL player, the PS3 does not.

Japanese with English subtitles—that's cool with me.

Wish Madman would release their M.A.S.K. DVDs region free...

Preordered my Japanese G1.I already have a bootleg DVD of Scramble City and Zone so now all I'm going to be missing is Robots in Disguise.

Your missing the point. We need a domestic release of these series in the U.S.

Just got my Japanese Series Boxset this morning and I can't stand the English dub on Headmasters! The first episode just ended and... I think my ears are bleeding. From now on, I'm going to stick with the subtitles!

I agree with some people who said they should make it more widely available in North America. I've been downloading the english subs of HEadmasters, I like them. Maybe 1 day....I'll buy the complete series
