If you’ve ever dreamed of filling your home with the sweet, synthy sounds of 80s robots battling for galactic supremacy, Hasbro’s got you covered with Transformers: Music from the Original Animated Series. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the franchise, this remastered soundtrack is now available on vinyl. That’s right, we’re talking 42 epic tracks—two of which are unreleased, and there’s even a fresh remix of the iconic theme song for all you nostalgia junkies.
Each disc is a love letter to the Autobots and Decepticons, with Disc 1 swirled in red, blue, and metallic silver for the Autobots, and Disc 2 bringing villainous vibes in purple, blue, and silver. And don’t worry, they didn’t skimp on the packaging—it’s all wrapped up in gatefold glory with artwork by Matt Ferguson. Throw in an obi-strip, because why not, and you’ve got yourself a collectible worth fighting over.
