This Thread is for all your comments/reviews on the 2 Formats for the "Transformers".

Normal DVD ~ (2 Disc Version)

Nice Simple to Navigate Menu Screens.

Movie Nick Pick: Brawl's Name is still Devastator even though they said it would be changed for the DVD Release, IT WASN'T.

I really wish the Scene Selection Area was Animated Scenes rather than just Still Form Scenes.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall there should have Deleted Scenes added on one of the Discs, they should have kept their word about Brawl's Name, & just should have added way more stuff about all the Transformers.

In my opinion it should have been 1stDisc for the Theatrical Movie & an Extended Version of the Movie, 2ndDisc just as listed above, 3rdDisc about all the Autobots, & finally 4thDisc about all the Decepticons.

there's probably a reason why they didn't release all the good stuff, especially the deleted scenes. can anyone say special limited super mega hyper transforming edition. you know they always do one of those just to get us to spend more money. it'll probably come out right before transformers 2 hits the theaters. i bought my copy in the transforming DVD case. it's not that great of a bonus but it was a neat idea. it transforms into optimus prime. a rather flat looking optimus prime.

i've been going thru the dvds and have found some hidden video. so far this is all i found.

on disc 2. in the main menu. if you press left to rotate thru the features you will get the decepticon logo pop up. hit enter and you will see the "dvd credits". wow.

if you go into the "our world" feature you will now be in the "our world" menu. hit down to rotate thru the options there and you will eventually get a funny symbol on the left of the main menu option. you get to see the "bay bot". a transformer with michael bay's head on it.

if you go into the "more than meets the eye" feature. in its menu, if you hit up to go thru the options you will get another symbol on the left of the main menu option. you get something called casting mojo. mojo is sam's dog and they're looking at some small dogs in this video.

in the trailers, which you can get to in the "more than meets the eye" option, theres another hidden symbol. press left to go thru the options there to get the symbol by the "more than meets the eye" option. enter this. it will take you to a deleted scene. before you see the short deleted scene they show you the making of that scene. its basically a woman getting her dress ripped up by the xbox 360 bot as sam nearly gets run over by the truck and he runs off.

that's all i could find on disc 2. as for disc 1 i couldn't find a single thing.

I just bought the regular version and I've already watched it twice! Last night and today. It's awesome and Shia's really good in it!
