Madman Entertainment to release Headmasters, Masterforce and Victory

First question, IN what languages?

Will it be the MetroDome crappy english that you can get for real cheap on ebay making it kinda worth it?

Or, will it have an english dub worth an inflated rate in a nicer box?

Also, I'm not gonna ad pics because I hate spoilers, but Fort Max is basicly Voltron in full robot mode.

I figure if you know it now, you wont be as let down after paying to see it as I was.

Still it's worth getting cause the first half is full of G1 premovie characters, and if you don't support this, they may not release some of the later series that actualy did some cool things.

I personaly hope this could lead to the Japanesse Beast Wars being released as well.

My god MM are releasing them?Finally. I was going fork out the big bucks for the series from the UK Oh dear the "release this or else Nazis" on the boards won't like that.Screw them.Let the bitching begin. They bloody keep asking for stuff that ain't even licensed in the US and not even finished screening in Japan.

Thanks! Just trying to spread my wealth of knowledge so that everyone else can enjoy foreign DVDs just like me.

I'm not 100% sure but the same people who subtitled the Transformers Headmasters, Masterforce, Victory, Zone cartoons and other Animes over a TV-N(Censored)hn are working with Metrodome on the Japanese Transformers DVD release...

No other company adds in as many extras as Madman does, and its not just on Transformers either, they pack as much stuff onto discs as they possibly can.

Ive already put what I think of the release on their board. All the Yuri/Shojou Ai fans are gonna be PO'd at me. Well :p to them. Giant robots rule.

Id rather have it in Japanese with English Subtitles.. Its like anime , it's best watched in japanese and not english dubbed with lots of grunts and huh's and hmmm's and mmm's and waahh's and haha laughs added in to take up the slack lol.. But im sure they will includ the Japanese audio as well as english so ill be happy I already own these series but they are pretty crappy like VHS converted to dvd or some junk and the acting is so bad lol ..

I asked Daniel @ Madman about the audio ... he said they plan on keeping the English dubs as an extra feature. I think the horrible Star dubs are hilarious. They're great for drinking games and just having a good time. If you want to watch the shows without busting out laughing, just watch it in Japanese with the English subtitles.

And you mustn't forget that this is an Aussie company, and there are few things we Aussies love more than taking the mickey out of anyone/anything else.

So I'd bet that the English Star dubs will be an extra feature, or selectable from the language menu, with the default set to Japanese Audio with English Subtitles.

How Madman decide to "advertise" the dubs will be very interesting!

so technically the metrodome dvd's are up to scratch persé in terms of features?

Seems like the same thing to me...?

It will be interesting to see if Madman do their own subtitles or use Metrodome's and if they have any extra features.

Take a drink after a character repeats what the last character said, for example:

"The Decepticons are going to the moon."
"What's that? The Decepticons are going to the moon?"

There's a LOT of that in the dub.

If there not in english then to me there a waste of money

I'm not sitting there reading while the action is going on
