Oh crap! You're probably right! When I read "cool movement of panels", I thought they meant panels during transformation...
If it's just some stupid "read-along with Peter Cullen", where you just look at the panels of the Comics and hear the voice actors read them out loud, then that is well... pretty frikkin' lame. I could do that myself, what's the point?
I was all excited thinking it was a new cartoon or something, but the more I think about it, the more you're probably right. I guess this story doesn't deserve the breaking news banner anymore!
To be honest, I've been thinking about this more and more and it's probably going to be OK at best. The last Walmart exclusive like this that I bought for Star Wars was actually a clips piece for R2-D2 or something like that a couple of years ago. It was a separate DVD that I think it came with the ROTS dvd-Walmart only. The video wound up being fullscreen (came with my widescreen edition) and the video quality absolutely sucked. With this being a pan and rehash of the stills with little new action (from the description anyway), it just might not be worth getting all excited about. I know the video that came with ROTS was so bad I never even watched the whole thing.
I just hope that it's an actual extra versus a separate DVD. That way, at least it'll be widescreen. Keep your fingers crossed that they'll do this right.
