2005 Boards member BustaJesse was lucky enough to find a copy of the Transformers Animated: Transform and Roll Out DVD at a local comic book shop in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada before the scheduled release date of next Tuesday, June 17th. He has posted picture of the packaging as well as a picture of the DVD and insert. The insert features pictures of some of the toys and various merchandising, but the insert also advertises an upcoming Transformers Animated video game! Click the image to the left to see all of the images of the packaging, insert, and DVD!
BustaJesse also provides details of the “extras”, two deleted shorts included with the DVD. Spoilers of the shorts can be seen by clicking the Discuss button.

If Blitzwing ends up a playable character, I so want an Ikaruga-style gimmick for any mission involving him, in which you have to switch between his personalities and altmodes/powers to defeat different enemies and surmount different obstacles..

Hmm… mixed feelings on the video game. Frankly, if it's anything like the movie game… it'll be a big pass for me. So far the only Transformers game that was worth picking up was the PS2 Armada game.

transformer video games make me happy

Gotcha, I suppose I shouldv'e watched the whole thing instead of just the first 5.
As for the video game, I'm kind of hoping for something like an action RPG. Something not too complicated but more deep than the movie games.

The 2 pack only has the first 22 minutes. This is the full 65 Min(give or take a few minutes) Pilot movie.

"First time on DVD"?
I hope they're talking about the shorts, cuz I coulda sworn the episode came w/ the Battle Damage Prime/Megatron 2-pack.

Activision, licensed game, TF game, at that… good chance of it being a "pass". PS2 Armada has really been the only exception to the rule :-/

Yeah the second short is nothing special, but the first one was cool. It would have been nice if there was some featurettes about the concept and creation of animated, but I'm happy just to have it, besides most kids don't have any interest in extras anyway.
I must say it is nice to watch it without the commercials. I can't stand the host of the crunch or whatever the hell it is called on YTV. I have to mute the television because his voice makes me cringe. Every Saturday morning I see this guy, I die a little bit inside for kids everywhere.

If it lines up with the previous posted rumor, the game will be published by Activision.
My money is on a DS title, though I would prefer to see an Animated game on the PS3/360.
The first Animated short sounds funny, I look forward to checking them out.
SPLIT LIP
And 360, hopefully.

The shorts sound fun, but not worth investing in.

eh i will have to pick this up and the season set but i am in no rush
Silent_Magnus
I hope the game isn't just shovelware.
Although since this is the first time we've heard of it and it's coming out in October it sounds like it will be.
Maybe there will be something at E3 or an event held by whoever is publishing it.
Omega Charge
I saw that too…
I hope they release it for other consoles, PC would be nice too.

I knew there would be a damn game sooner than later!
