The Transformers: The Movie (1986, De Laurentiis Entertainment Group) is a litmus test for whether you are an OG fan. If you have not watched it at any point in your life so far, then it’s probably safe to say your Transformers fandom was the result of Michael Bay. But hey, no judging here.
Anyways, as part of the Transformers‘ 40th anniversary celebration, Hasbro is bringing the first Transformers movie, which was also the first-ever Transformers feature-length animated film, back to the big screen this May. Here’s what this special screening entails, straight from the horse’s mouth:
