Hi, can someone please tell me which is better. The Region 1 or Region 2 of Transformers Season 1 DVD Boxset?

I have read reviews that the R1 has much improved picture quality.They do look very impressive.

Is this the same for Region 2? Have Maverick made they same picture quality improvements as Rhino did for Region 1?

Thanks.

Definetely R2. As for picture quality I dont know but the ad buffers that are kept in the R1 episodes do get a little bit annoying. Also get 2 extra episodes on the R2 version.

R1 packaging is much nicer though.

R1 was remastered BUT they went a bit over the top and introduced new visual problems.

IMHO, you`re much better off with the R1 Rhino release, as the R2 Maverick version was not remastered. I bought the single first volume on R2 and then got the R1 boxset. The quality of the R1 boxset is much better, and doesn`t look like it`s been copied from some dodgy VHS copy!

It`s even got a bit on the R1 set where they compare the image quality. Given, the ad spots every few minutes can be annoying, but it just means you`re getting the whole shebang!

Also, the extras of Japanese episodes and adverts on the R1 set are just superb. I don`t think there`s a decision here...!
