Few movies capture the 1980’s in a way that Tranformers: The Movie did in 1986. This year marks the animation feature film’s 35th anniversary, an event Shout! Factory is using to debut the film on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray for the first time.
Mark August 3rd, 2021 on your calendar as that is the date Tranformers: The Movie will make its 4K debut. It features a new 4K transfer and restoration from the original 35mm film elements with HDR, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.
Pre-order Transformers: The Movie 35th Anniversary 4K Steelbook at Amazon.
The standard and limited edition Steelbook releases features new art by comic artist Matt Ferguson.
I am so happy to be able to share the official artwork I made for the new 4K remaster of The Transformers The Movie (86) for @Hasbro , @funimationUK and @ShoutFactory
This was a a real passion project for me.
More on this next week! pic.twitter.com/1pcQCKNkJc
