Fans of the 1980s, rejoice! If you grew up watching G.I. Joe, Transformers, Jem and the Holograms or any of the other countless classic cartoons from Hasbro, this latest announcement is sure to get your attention.
Hasbro is teaming up with Vimeo to bring hundreds of episodes across 13 Hasbro franchises to Vimeo's on demand service. The full series of Transformers Generation 1 and Jem and the Holograms is available on the service right now, with more franchises coming to Vimeo On Demand later this year.
Viewers can pay $2.99 to buy individual episodes or 99 cents to rent an episode for a 24 hour period. You can also purchase an entire series for $40, giving you access to all of Transformers Gen 1 or Jem and the Holograms on Vimeo across any device.
If neither of those series catch your attention (seriously!?) there are plenty of other great cartoons on the way. G.I. Joe, for example, will be coming in May. The collection also includes more recent shows like the CGI animated Transformers: Prime and the ever popular My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Below is the full list of the Hasbro Classic Collection shows coming to Vimeo in 2015:
| • My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic • Transformers: Rescue Bots • Transformers: Prime • Transformers: Robots in Disguise • G.I. Joe: Renegades • Kaijudo: Rise of the Duel Masters • Littlest Pet Shop • Pound Puppies • The Adventures of Chuck & Friends • B-Daman Crossfire |
That's a lot of cartoons and a ton of Transformers in particular. While superfans will likely already own many of these series in some form or another, $40 to have access to an entire series on the go sounds like a truly outrageous deal. Or something like that.
