So with 1984 getting a new release, there are a few details concerning the disc content and extras.
So far, we know the extras include: 1: The toy commercials 2: A featurette titled "A Look Back at Hasbro and the Origins of The Transformers" 3: Concept Art
Speculation is that this could be "it" for season 1 at least. The studio seems to be recording some new material (hey hey!), but it is probably meant for future releases.
NO NEWS yet concerning which version we get - 35 mm with errors (Rhino) or the broadcast masters.
Order of the episodes is the same as the Rhino set:
* Disc 1: 1. More Than Meets The Eye, Part 1 2. More Than Meets The Eye, Part 2 3. More Than Meets The Eye, Part 3 4. Transport To Oblivion 5. Roll For It 6. Divide And Conquer 7. Fire In The Sky 8. S.O.S. Dinobots
* Disc 2: 8. Fire On The Mountain 9. War Of The Dinobots 10. The Ultimate Doom, Part 1 11. The Ultimate Doom, Part 2 12. The Ultimate Doom, Part 3 13. Countdown To Extinction 14. A Plague Of Insecticons 15. Heavy Metal War

I am a sucker for the old commercials. They say kids aren't into toys like they used to be, but I can't help but wonder if they would release cheesey commercials like they used to what would happen.

I never got the Rhino releases, though I was half considering it when news broke of the now-cancelled Sony re-release.
I'll wait for the reviews on this set, but I may be adding it to my Amazon wishlist (which I use to track the "I want" lists in various categories).

TVShowsOnDVD.com has posted a new story regarding the release of the 25th Anniversary Generation One: Season 1 DVD Box Set, in which it is revealed that the episodes will be "restored to the original broadcast verisons with a new stereo soundtrack created from the original audio" and will not contain the audio from the widely panned Rhino verions. Additionally, the following extras are newly listed for the box set:

Just thought I would add a few updates, here - The Transformers Collectors set - "The Matrix of Leadership Collector's Set" should ship to arrive on July 13th and can be pre-ordered at www.transformerscollectorsset.com/The complete series has a few more special features and an extra pack-in or two compared to the individual box sets. Also note that the Transformers Season 1 box set that was released last month contained animation errors that have been corrected for the complete series box set. Shout Factory is also claiming that they will have corrected discs available for those that purchased the individual box set. No word on the exchange yet. Stay tuned.
