Below are some screenshots from the menu structure: Warning because it's very very poor. I think
they hired a monkey to make this menu.
You can Select the three episodes, (Dutch language
version shown here),
Scene Selectie(Scene selection...)
Ondertiteling(Subtitles)
All very exciting ?.....nope not really.
Let's go part by part and starting with the other menu's.
When you select "Scene Selectie", you go to a
submenu to select the scenes but it can be confusing as a new viewer because
the episodes are not mentioned here.
With "HoofdMenu"
(Main menu ) you return to the main menu.
When you select Ondertiteling(Subtitles), you go to the
place to select subtitles
"Ondertiteling" means Subtitles
"Aan / Uit" means On /Off
Also, note the Transformers Generation 2 LOGO on this
submenu and the Main menu, in the previous DVD's this was reversed. this is
only the start.......
Let's move on to the episodes:
1. The Girl that
loved Powerglide
Here is the Dutch Description
Here is the Dutch Description
and here is the Translation:
Powerglide saves a girl called Astoria form the
Decepticon's clutches. She is impressed by Powerglide's rescue and promptly
falls in love. She seems to have a machine-jinxing aura because everything
breaks in her vicinity. When the Decepticons recapture her, it's up to
Powerglide and the Transformers to save her. (Note: not Autobots but
Transformers...it gets worse later)
As you can see from the overview scan, every episode
has a little picture to accompany it with. Sadly, I think the aforementioned
monkey gets it wrong 3 times.(please correct me if I'm wrong) This is clearly a
still from "The Golden Lagoon", and appears somewhere near the end of
the episode if I'm not mistaken.
2. The Key to Vector Sigma (1)
Here is the Dutch Description
and here is the Translation:
Megatron is
jealous because the Autobots excel at driving cars. He then decides to steal
cars and convert them to 'stunticons'. Sadly, these do not work as they should
because they can't think for themselves. Trying to make the 'Stunticons' think, Megatron hooks
them up with Supercomputer Vector Sigma. But the effect is not what he imagined
it would be.(I always thought that Megatron went to Vector Sigma to give the
Stunticons personalities, not Intelligence. also, he seems quite pleased at the
end of episode 1)
Another episode, another picture. I identified this one
coming from "The Autobot Run", and appears somewhere near the end of
the episode if I'm not mistaken and has been mirrored.
3. The Key to Vector Sigma (2)
Here is the Dutch Description
and here is the Translation:
Because Megatron stole the key to Vector Sigma to give
the Stunticons intelligence, Alpha Trion has to come into action to save the
day. He discovers the secret of the key and this means that he finds a way to
turn Earth into Cyberthron (!) ofcourse this is very advantagious.( the monkeys
strike again. Alpha Trion probably knows about the key but I remember from the cartoon that Megatron
discovers that the key turns Earth material into metal. So, it's not as it says
here in the dutch translation, Alpha Trion would not approve of a metal Earth.
Another episode, another picture. I don't know were
this is from, can anyone help ?
At least 2(well, allright 1) great episodes and 1 mediocre, on the plus side, it's all G1 episodes (who says I'm negative ? )
Ahh yes the Cover art. almost forgot that. It seems scraped together from somewhere. Not too bad actually.
Avoid this DVD at all costs !
See below to look at a bigger size picture of both sides of the package.
Please also look at Parts 001, 002, 003 and 004of this
series.

Old dutch editions of Transformers DVD's 004: Generation 2 DVD, Transformers Deel 4
Old
dutch editions of Transformers DVD's
The Fouth and final DVD in this particular series is, again, a Generation 2 DVD, Transformers
Deel 4 (Part4) Bought at a dutchBart Smit toyshop in 2003 or 2004
Like part 1,2 and 3, it has three episodes on it and is
very nice to own.
Here are some screenshots from the menu structure: So the
question was:
next week: will
it be reversed ?? Will Grapple be on the DVD Menu ?
NO ! It's all Decepticon ! But, having said that, there
is a grapple connection here. on the previous DVD cover, Grapple can be seen,
holding some sort of device. Well, the first story on this DVD will explain
that image.
"Deel" means Part
"Speel alles" means Play All
"Hoofdstukken" means Chapters
"Ondertiteling" means Subtitles
"Aan / Uit" means On /Off
The Master Builders
"Hoofdmenu" means Main menu.
"Verder" means Next
A Decepticon in King Arthur's Court
"Terug" means Back
"Hoofdmenu" means Main menu.
"Verder" means Next
The Golden Lagoon
"Terug" means Back
"Hoofdmenu" means Main menu.
All
great episodes, but I have a little dislike for the second episode.
The Master Builders is simply epic and shows just what
obsession can do. A Decepticon in King Arthur's Court , I had forgotten this
classic episode, oh I mean I was really trying to forget this one. too much
human action. The Golden Lagoon....Awh. Mayhem and sweetness in one episode.
This series will return is some shape or form but next week
it is time for some other DVD's.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. See below to look at a fullsize of
picture both sides of the package.
Please
also look at Parts 001, 002 and 003 of this series.

Old dutch editions of Transformers DVD's 003: Generation 2 DVD, Transformers Deel 3
Old dutch
editions of Transformers DVD's
The
second DVD is a Generation 2 DVD, Transformers Deel 3 (Part3) Bought at a dutch
Bart Smit toyshop in 2003 or 2004
Like part 1and
2, it has "three"(2 actually) episodes on it and is very nice to own.
Here are
some screenshots from the menu structure: Interesting to think back and note that for DVD01,
Starscream is on the Cover image and Prime is featured on the Menu image. The
powers that be decided to change it again. Grapple on the cover image and Sunstreaker
on the menu image.
So next week: will it be reversed ??
"Deel"
means Part
"Speel
alles" means Play All
"Hoofdstukken"
means Chapters
"Ondertiteling"
means Subtitles
"Aan /
Uit" means On /Off
The Core
"Hoofdmenu"
means Main menu.
"Verder"
means Next
Dinobot Island deel 1
"Terug"
means Back
"Hoofdmenu"
means Main menu.
"Verder"
means Next
Dinobot Island deel 2
"Terug"
means Back
"Hoofdmenu"
means Main menu.
Again, all
great episodes, The Core is simply epic and made me love the constructicons and
I AM just a sucker for endings like that one has. Dinobot Island, I had forgotten
this classic episode, I remember being thrilled when this first went out (in G1
form, remember that these are all G2 cartoon versions) and really wanted to see
the resolution to that cliffhanger.
HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED. See below to look at a fullsize of picture both sides of the
package.
Please also
look at the updated Part 001 and 002 of this series.
