Madman will continue to release further Transformers Animated<\/i> and Transformers Unicron Trilogy<\/i> collections on DVD and digital platforms into 2014, with a new release assured for each month leading up to May \u2013 ahead of Michael Bay\u2019s Transformers: Age of Extinction<\/i>, which will hit cinemas in late June, 2014.<\/p>\n
