The Transformers: T he Movie is returning to theatres for its 40th anniversary with a new 4K re-release from September 17 to September 21in the US, with some international releases planned too.
The 1986 animated film became famous for shockingly killing off Optimus Prime and introducing Unicron, voiced by Orson Welles in one of his final roles.
Although it flopped at the box office with $5.9 million, the film later gained cult status and heavily influenced future Transformers stories, including the Matrix of Leadership and later appearances of Unicron.
