Transformers - Season 2 - Vol. 2
During the summer holidays I used to get up before 8oclock just so I could watch the cartoon series on 'Wackaday' but I still managed to miss lots of them. This box set and the two previous ones and one to come are my chance as an adult to watch the cartoon series that I so loved and be able to see it all in order, with the story line progressing episode by episode as it was originally intended. If you remeber the transformers at all from your childhood, then I recommend you go out and buy this now! You won't be dissapointed! The series has a gripping quality that makes you want to see each next episode and has great storylines, which take the characters within throughout earth and the galaxy. If I could i'd rate this 10 stars but there is only 5 maximum so that will have to suffice!

Amazon.co.uk Review
The Transformers series (Tatakae Cho Robot Seimetai Transformers, or Fight Super Living Robots Transformers) was written in America, but animated in Japan. Based on a line of robots from Takara that was licensed to Hasbro, Transformers sparked a craze for metamorphic toys in the mid-80s. Each robot-character could be reconfigured to form a car, a tank, a plane, and so on. The 24 episodes in this collection, which ran between 1985 and 1986, conclude the second season and lead up to Transformers 2006. Each episode forms a self-contained story, with little in the way of larger character arcs or plot developments tying them together. Although the cast has expanded, the Autobots remain the good guys who defeat the bad guy Decepticons, and no-one expects anything else. Although the character designs and animation are Japanese, the direction is pure American saturday morning: instead of creating effective transitions, the filmmakers just cut to a shot of the logo--a standard practice in Hanna-Barbera kidvid. Websites, role-playing games, fan fiction, and a brisk commerce in the original toys have kept Transformers alive in the hearts of their fans. But like Robotech, Transformers will appeal most strongly to nostalgic adults who watched the show as kids. --Charles Solomon

What can I say about the Transformers. Well they were my favourite cartoon in the 80s and as an 8 year old boy I couldn't think of anything cooler, than a robot that could transform into tanks, cars, planes, etc.
