Transformers: The Movie Returns to Theaters in 4K for 40th Anniversary, Sept. 17–21

The event-style return aims to re-energize longtime fans through a Transformers Day rollout with anniversary merchandising.

Overview

  • Hasbro and Fathom Entertainment, which announced the plan Monday, will bring the 1986 animated feature back to U.S. theaters Sept. 17–21 in a 4K presentation.
  • The rollout begins on Sept. 17, known as Transformers Day, to anchor the anniversary screenings to a key date for the fan base.
  • Coverage notes that select international markets are expected to open day-and-date with the U.S.
  • Tickets will be available later this summer online and at participating theater box offices, with details directed to Fathom Entertainment.
  • Hasbro is leaning into nostalgia with an “Apology Tour” and new merchandise as the cult favorite—featuring voices like Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, Orson Welles, Judd Nelson, and Leonard Nimoy—returns for a limited run.
