Was wonderful

Transformers Energon: The Complete Series is a great add to any Transformers collection.

The inside of the case is broken and some of the disc holders are broken as well.

Transformers Energon is a slow mess of going nowhere plot. Of all the series they have put out Energon is arguably the worst out there. The animation generally has nothing to do with it's animation quality. It features the Transformers in cel shaded CGI 99% of the time in traditionally animated backgrounds and human characters. Usually the blend isn't too bad if you don't mind the Transformers popping out colorfully. But the story it tries to tell is so incoherent. It starts by following up on the last series "Transformers: Armada" with the Autobots and Decepticons at peace with one another after Megatrons time away. The Decepticons are a tad irked by being bossed around by their former enemies but tend to follow along. Since Armada they have built city like bases around the galaxy to mine for Energon, the usual Transformer fuel source. Rare to find but with their new Human ally Kicker have found a way to detect it. But the way they find it is hilariously bad. But a new faction comes into play trying to revive Unicron, the Terrorcons. Largely a race of animal themed transformer drones they come to steal the Energon from the Autobots and Decepticons. Eventually their leader at the time Alpha Q decides he needs a strong leader and brings Megatron back, Only for Megatron to usurp his position and take back leadership of the Decepticons as well. Than after about the first 10 or so episode things just go bonkers with the plot going nowhere, back and forth incoherently looking for things, New transformers popping in usually just for advertising the new toy and not really any other reason in the long term. And a few characters get a strange personality quirk that got lost in the translation from the original Japanese version. I own the previous Paramount release so I can't tell you how well the DVD set from Shout Factory here really is. But as a series I would say unless your a hardcore Transformers fan willing to forgive bad storytelling I'd stay away from Energon unless you feel the need to be a completionist and fill the gap between "Transformers: Armada" and "Transformers: Cybertron"
