Toy and game company Hasbro announced a special cinema experience to celebrate four decades of the Transformers franchise with Til All Are One: Transformers 40th Anniversary Event. Honouring the brand’s legacy in bringing continuous action and adventure to fans of all ages, the theatrical event will provide limited screenings of episodes from the classic 1984 animated series The Transformers.
Screenings will be available in select cinemas across the US, UK and Mexico, along with select territories in Europe, Latin America and Asia starting on 15 May. Tickets for the Transformers 40th Anniversary Event will go on sale at Transformers 40th CinemaEvent website on 10 at 9.30 am local time.
This special cinema experience will take fans back to the very beginning as some of the Transformers original voice-over talent, including Peter Cullen (original voice of Optimus Prime) and Frank Welker (original voice of Megatron), team up for the first time in decades to revisit their characters and recreate the enduring magic of the classic 1984 animated series. An exclusive behind-the-scenes table read appears on a split screen for the pilot episode, More Than Meets the Eye, part one, followed by a traditional screening of the next three episodes of the series. Fans can experience the original Saturday morning cartoon on the big screen and get a glimpse of its evolution with a sneak peek of the new season of the original animated kids’ series Transformers: Earthspark. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to celebrate 40 years of Transformers action, humour and legacy at an anniversary event that is truly… More Than Meets the Eye!
“For decades, the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons has come to life in movies, comic books, innovative toys, live experiences and digital media, elevating The Transformers brand to a global powerhouse franchise with millions of fans around the world. To celebrate 40 years, we’re bringing fans back to where it all started,” said Hasbro global franchise strategy & management, action brands vice president Alyse D’Antuono. “The Transformers animated series captured the imagination of fans of all ages when it premiered in 1984, introducing a timeless battle between good and evil fueled by action and adventure. Ask any longtime fan, and they can probably tell you where they were when they first heard Optimus Prime’s iconic phrase ‘Autobots, roll out’ or what it felt like when they first converted a bot character into its alt mode. With exclusive content featuring the series’ original voice actors, this theatrical event is truly for our fans and invites audiences to experience the fun that started it all.”
Distributed by Trafalgar Releasing, an event cinema distribution company, this is the second time the company has partnered with Hasbro, following Peppa’s Cinema Party that screened in cinemas worldwide in February 2024.
