Metrodome's The Transformers The Movie: Ultimate Edition DVD Cover Revealed

I really like the cover. It has a very smooth design that allows you to focus in on the picture, and the picture itself is +10 to coolness (D&D inside joke, sorry).

I love it.

it's eye catchy

Very nice, though I question the logic of releasing TF:TM when there are at least three versions on UK shelves already, in a range of prices and feature sets to suit every pocket. The basic version is currently in Woolies for £2.

2007 movie texture over the original Movie logo. Interesting.
I find the picture is nice, but sort of dull. I really enjoy the whole 'cast firing at Unicron' thing.

Neat.

Very artsy of them. Very artsy indeed.

Will this be an online thing only?

Hideous.

which movie the animated or the real people one?

Animated. Btw, Hotrod, the link for the website leads to the picture, not the website itself.

Yeah, they're releasing the DVD edition of a movie that has not hit theatres yet and are putting a character from 20 years ago on the box art. True story.

I can see why they've chosen a 'live-action-movie-type logo' but I wish they hadn't done it. For that matter, I don't know why Dreamworks felt that Transformers being a movie deserved a typical 'movie-of-a-franchise' steel/metallic/silver version of the logo.

I don't really like this cover. I much prefer the Don Figueroa cover for Sony's Region 1 release. I hope the features are good! I don't find the artwork here very interesting.

That raly is cool, but what's gonna make me want this over last years issue?

its a really nice picture all on its own, but it doesnt seem to gel as an animated movie cover...they should have either used promotional art or if they wanted to create new art, have it at least reflect the movie in some way....and i'm anal about this but they shoulda kept the original font, or even do like rhino did and use the actual font that was colored yellowish/golden for the original poster

That's a pretty bad cover imo. The title/logo looks off (especially with that giant O in the middle of mOvie. Yeah, I know the original had it, but it's just distracting now.

As for the art, that picture of Prime was never one of the best. As much as I like Andy Wildman, I honestly think they could've commissioned a new picture instead of getting a 2+ year old image and re-colouring/texturing it (link to original image http://www.transformersdvd.com/ ).

And the lense flair, don't get me started on that!

Overall, very unimpressive. C-

Not to mention it has nothing to do with the movie. When was Prime jumping around in outer space? Oh wait, never, because he died 1/3 of the way into the movie. I wouldn't even give it a C-. Not quite "F" worthy. Maybe a good, solid "D".

Looks very fan-art, not good at all.

I actually dont like that... it looks fan made and is overly blurry... the concept is fine but i feel it needs to be more polished.

i can't wait till next month when they re re re re re re re re release transformers the movie ultra shiny clasic cool remastered ultrasonic hi-def hi-fi lo-fi surround sound limited edition dvd with matching bumper sticker ... How many times are they going to re release this movie? lol , they are milking it for all its worth lol .. It's getting as bad as repaints lol

Is this a UK exclusive? If not, what makes this DVD any better than the 20th Anniversary DVD with that moving / shifting cover?

Meh.

Their trying too hard to make it look like the live action movie.

They could have done better. :/

Nevermind, still gonna get it though.

links dead...

meh... Sony's 20th one was cooler

It's unfortunate they chose that character as the cover. Oh well.

The Effing Huge 0 or o is a HUGE turn off.

I like the cover and have faith that this version of TFTM will be worth adding to the pile.

that's horrible.

and why would anyone want to re-release a repackaged special edition DVD that was just done previously last year? oh wait, George Lucas does it all the time.... and is there anything all that much different than the last one?

The features, apparently, and I think we're still waiting for those to be announced (unless someone already knows what they are).

Man, that looks gay

Because the UK Special Editions of EVERYTHING always get more features!

Oh well, at least we get more games in the US. AH HA!

I'll be watching your career with great interest.

Man, I love quoting Star Wars.

As for the cover, nice, but why just Prime, when he appears in two or three scenes in the whole movie, and dies pretty early on?

Also, I hate that "O."
