NTFA member Inkku has informed that Beast Machines season boxes have appeared on the Finnish to be published DVD listing.
Publisher will be Sony and series will be released in two parts (July 2007).

No further information is available at the moment, and personally I'm very, very surprised. To put this into context, Armada was the first TF cartoon broadcasted in Finland, and we only got the first wave of Beast Machines toys in the late 90's. There are propably only a handful of Finns that have seen or even heard of Beast Machines series.
Also it's very unusual for DVD-boxes to be released only in Finland (small country). So most likely this is either combined Nordic Europe release (Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark), or a wider European release.
This could be a sign that Sony will try to benefit from the upcoming movie hype and release also other Transformers products and cartoons in Europe. Do we know which companies have publishing rights for the cartoons in Europe? Metronome has rights for "G1" cartoons in UK(?), but how about rest of Europe and other cartoon series?
