Get ready to roll out like never before with the March 6th release of Transformers Prime: The Complete First Season on DVD and Blu-ray from Shout! Factory, in collaboration with Hasbro Studios and featuring more than 10 hours of non-stop action, bonus content and more.

The set will also be released as a limited edition Blu-ray packed with a 96-page graphic novel.

Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Arcee, Autobot Ratchet, Bulkhead, and many others are back to "roll out" against Megatron's latest attempt to conquer Earth. And Megatron proves to be more powerful than ever, having acquired a rare element that allows him mastery over life itself.

Optimus Prime and the Autobots may be few against the Decepticon hordes, but they find increased strength through bonds forged with three human teenagers.

Season One boasts an all-star voice cast, including Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, Steve Blum, Jeffrey Combs, Adam Baldwin, Markie Post, Ernie Hudson, among other notables. TRANSFORMERS PRIME is produced by Hasbro Studios, with Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Jeff Kline serving as executive producers. Kurtzman and Orci served as writers for the feature films Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. 

Transformers Prime recently garnered two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation and six Emmy nominations.
