False Advertizing!!!

[bbwolf2527]

I just bought the TRANSFORMERS Exclusive 2-disk DVD Set yesterday. I was greatly ashamed of my purchase! Like most I grew up watching the TRANSFORMERS. Sitting in front of the television during summer vacation, with my pb, and j, and the happiest moment watching OPTIMUS PRIME. Care free, and loving life. When I went to the theator to see the movie I was skeptical. Can Michael Bay live up to our childhood memories? When I heard OPTIMUS PRIME'S voice for the first time in over twenty or so years, I was that kid again!!! For two, and a half hours I was in 1986 all over again. It was great! The movie to my surprise was good. Now my problem... I set out to buy the Exclusive 2-disk set for one reason, and one reason only. It is advertized as having TRANSFORMERS: BEGINNINGS Prequel dvd. Narrated by the voice of OPTIMUS PRIME (PETER CULLEN). Well how completly awsome is that?! Getting it home was another story. Upon poping this childhood memory into my dvd player, I get a cold hard unloving smack in the face! The prequel is not narrated by OPTIMUS PRIME, but narrated by BUMBLE BEE instead. Maybe half way thru you finally get PRIME, but hes only on for about five seconds. The whole selling point was PRIME! The movie disk didn't even include any special features. At least give me a Behind The Scenes, and maybe a Deleted Scene, or bloopers. Something! No instead I got a shiney cardboard box! Well thank you MICHAEL BAY!!! Now my life is complete. If they would have billed it as narrated by BUMBLE BEE it would have been a different story. Come on OPTIMUS PRIME is the opitamy of cool! I beleve this to be a disgrace, and a mockory to all diehard TRANSFORMERS Fans. I hope the purchase of any more TRANSFORMERS DVDs are boycoted! I am greatly disapointed in DreamWorks for not standing up for us fans. Is this all just another way to turn a buck?! How can you tell us your going to give something cool as PRIME, and then take it all away? Have you no decentcie?! Have you no shame?! The whole point to DVDs is the fact we get some kind of special features. If they wanted to save the features as a two disk special then fine. However give a handfull of things to the guys who bought the prequels!!! Nothing spectacular, but something! And if your going to sell something based on OPTIMUS PRIME, then give us PRIME!!! Not BUMBLE BEE!!! A very disapointed fan!!!

Moved this thread as this extra cartoon slide-show HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MICHAEL BAY.

Write to the makers of the cartoon or the studio.

I thought I heard that he voiced Optimus in the prequel. Still lame though because I do remember them saying "narrated" by him.

I waited til the day after to buy the dvd. With the exclusives it was a bit mixed. Best bang for your buck was the Target dvd. 25$ w/ a 5$ card towards the purchase. 2x Discs and a transforming case. But Bay has nothing to do with it. The film though at least gave you some satisfaction. Bay did his job. But, your post is the whole reason I wrote off the prequel dvd.
