Maximum Entertainment is the home video arm of Jetix, the current license-holders for the 2001 Robots in Disguise cartoon series in the UK.

They have released the entire RiD series on DVD—the first few episodes several times over.

DVD Releases

Box sets

[edit]

Maximum had intended to release the whole RiD series though several two-disc sets, but this idea was abandoned after the first release in favour of the three-disc sets.

Contains the episodes "Battle Protocol!" through to "Secret Weapon: D-5" with character profiles written by Chris McFeely and bloopers.

Single discs

[edit]

With the release of the live-action movie in 2007, Maximum decided to cash-in on the free publicity and milk it for all it was worth bring RiD to a new audience with a handful of new single-disc releases containing just three episodes each.

  • Transformers: Robots in Disguise — Battle Protocol (July 2, 2007)
Contains the episodes "Battle Protocol!" through to "Bullet Train to the Rescue".
  • Transformers: Robots in Disguise — Evil Intent (July 2, 2007)
Contains the episodes "Spychangers to the Rescue" through to "The Secret of the Ruins".
  • Transformers: Robots in Disguise — Battling the Predacons (July 2, 2007)
Contains the episodes "Sideburn's Obsession" through to "Mirage's Betrayal".

Box sets

[edit]

These 2007 releases are labeled by "season," though this is just an artifact of how many discs they can fit in each box as there was no actual split in the production or airing of the animated series.

Re-release of the 2004 "Volume One" set with new artwork.

Notes

[edit]
  • As well as serious information, Chris McFeely's character profiles for the early box sets also include an in-joke to fans about how Megatron is rumoured to come from another time and dimension, character functions invented solely for the profiles, and a statement that the Predacon trio are good for a laugh.
