Description
Of all the Optimus Primes... This guy was my favorite. My favorite toy and my favorite Prime. He harkens back to a time when the toys actually made me feel like a kid again, a time of originality and imagination... A time I feel was the Golden age of Transformers. (Okay, maybe more Silver age)The toy molds have degradated, so re-releases are unlikely. The show's rights belong to Disney/Saban, and they're not fond of releasing things on DVD all too often. There was never a comic book, except for an eight page story that honestly... Wasn't all that good. (I'm not even sure if there was a manga, and they make mangas of everything!) It didn't last long on Fox Kids when it was new, and it had the unfortunate timing of airing at the same time as the 9/11 attacks, so some episodes didn't even air. (Which to be honest, is understandable.) The only DVD set is from Region 2 in the UK, and with new fans coming in, thanks to the movies, it could be easy to forget this precious little gem of the mythos.
I could go on forever on why I love Robots in Disguise, but I'll just said I've decided to take it upon myself to make sure no one forgets RiD.
For you Transformers fans that watch my stuff... Get used to the RiD. More's coming. For you Shadowgirls fans... Nothing's changed for you guys, except that Side Burn and X-Brawn will probably show up as someone's car now.

This was honestly a really good series. I even had the entire first season on DVD and I'd have to say it was really well written.

I like it, it's like he just arrived in New York on Sep. 11, he witnesses that horrific event, and like all of the fire fighters, Bam, he dives right into action, saving all the human lives he can, without thinking if he ever could make, if he ever will survive and yet the quiestion on his mind is, "Why would someone do this??" It's a good picture!

You're not the only fan of Robots in Disguise. I love that show, and it's definitely a shame that Disney won't bother releasing the show on DVD. If they're not interested in it, why don't they sell the rights to a company who is?
And is it wrong for me to prefer Neil Kaplan's voice work as Optimus Prime over Peter Cullen's? I love both, but I love Kaplan's slightly more.

What a strange coincidence, I was just thinking about RiD Prime yesterday.
RiD had some great molds come out of it, though few. The concept of a fire truck Optimus Prime takes some getting used to but it does make a lot of sense. This is a great pic man!

I prefer the original Japanese version, but that's mostly a voice acting and stupid US names for characters issue. I liked the show when it was on TV over here and I like some of tghe toys a lot.
Personally, I went with the Yellow release of this Convoy mold. ANd the appropriate version of God Magnus as well.

Disney ain't fond of releasing stuff unless it's crap.
Seriourly, "Cinderella 3"? "Beverl Hills Chihuahua"??? Ugh!
Let's see if "Frog Prince" can redeem them.
Oh yeah, almost forgot. Great pic. The background is kickin'.

Actually Cinderella 3 was one of their better DtV sequels. Granted that might be faint praise considering the company of Bambi 2, Hunchback of Notre Dame 2 and *shudder* Mulan 2... But Cinderella 3 was decent I thought.
What I meant though is that often Disney will have shows on DVD, and unless it's a guaranteed financial success, they're not going to release a season box set. It was pulling teeth to get a Gargoyles set and they stopped halfway through Season Two, many are still waiting on a Kim Possible box set and I can only guess how the Power Rangers fans feel.
I've heard various things about the Fron Prince from a few friends in the industry, ranging in opinions but the general consensus seems to be that it's decent. It's no Little Mermaid or even Lilo and Stitch, but it's far from "Brother Bear" bad.
