thats the old version not the ultimate version...im assuming
Cool cover.
I think it's a fairly poor cover. The big shot of Earth in the background seems to be cashing in on the forthcoming movie and has very little to do with the animated effort.
well it is the 2nd cover that I know of that has just OP on it(the Canadian Rino DVD had him on the cover right?)
So I'm guessing 'best' is a relative term then?

Nope, its the 1 disc ultimate edition. Less its a cockup.

Must be, it's £15.99 RRP. Oh and Gabe, 'chut up' 
Who am I to talk though, I own the GI Joe movie, right. Honestly I only own it for the PSAs, but it's worth it.
A bit different from the R1 version. It loses but gains a few extras. R1 had filmmaker and fan commentary as well some other cool features. This new one seems quite solid as well. Love the artwork!
Also, Scramble City contains original audio this time.
I wonder what happened to Zone.

That cover sucks, unless the UK original movie poster is something like that. I prefer the the R1 re-release cover, although I'm pisted I didn't get the 3-D cover
I hope this will filter down to the poor little Region 4 people...

I agree about the cover. I was ready to complain about the emphasis on Prime's back in the Maverick DVD cover art, but this is even worse!

play.com have a metal book edition with art cards to preorder for £15 (2 disc version)
So, which is the better one between this and R1? Is the transfer on this one better? Plus, I can't tell if the features are the same or if they have added/changed any. I was getting ready to get the R1 and this is announced. What should I do?
All of those questions have been answered in the text and links above.
"Original 4:3 version" and a "remastered 1:85:1" verson. Which is the OAR?
Depends on your point of view. It was shot in the academy ratio and cropped to 1.85:1 for theatrical exhibition. The widescreen version is how it would have looked in cinemas, but you see more info with the open matte version.

I have been sent a copy of this today, which is nice (to quote a rather worn-out catchphrase).

Watching a bit of it now actually. Looks pretty good, although the R1 extras are better.
You're watching it now? You jammy swine, Chris!

Transformers huh? Hated the cartoon series. But I'll admit it's got a cool concept. And the upcoming movie looks great.
Added a couple of comparison images.
