If sales are good, the remaining sixty episodes could see a release. It doesnt look like they'll be any extras on this DVD though

Oddly enough, I JUST bought the entire series of the Centurions on bootleg DVD, and here they go and release an official version.

Ace cartoon though, it had a lot of creative greats working on it, not just Kane, Widely and Kirby, but Michael Reaves and Gerry Conway (Mr "I killed Gwen Stacy" to you comic geeks)

In addition to writer Michael Reaves, several TMNT voice actors also are on this: Pat Fraley (Max Ray), Jennifer Darling (Amber, Doc Terror's Daughter), and Tress Macneille and Bill Martin also voiced later in the series. Looks like another show I should check out given how much I'm a fan of '80s cartoons. There were just so many good shows back then it was difficult for one show to become really popular.

Another little foray into video editing and A.I scene creation

I wrote the dialogue and prompted/generated the scene, mixed in the show's original soundtrack, then spliced in the transformation sequence from an actual episode (real footage inserted at the 0:24 mark)
