The Transformers: The Movie (1986)

Does anyone know where I can get The Transformers: The Movie (1986) on DVD or watch it? Is the film out of print?


I don't want to pay those out of print prices and I would love to have it to go with my Transformers: The Complete Series.

The Monster,

There isn't a recent release so if you can find it you'll have to pay secondary market prices. I don't know what you're wanting to spend but check Amazon and eBay frequently and be patient for one to pop up within your price range.

It's a shame it never did come with all of those complete sets; whether from Rhino or Shout!

Many years ago I bought the complete series off of EBay, and the movie was included. Default setting was Chinese, and they may have been bootlegs, but the quality was pretty good for the shows.

I think I still have like 10 VHS tapes of recorded from tv eps of the entire series. That's how far back I go.

Yes I agree, I for the life of me cannot figure out why it does not come with the complete series sets, That's just dumb.

Ah VHS.... those where the days.

I think I have this on every format imaginable...excluding Laserdisc & I plan to fix that eventually

You can get an Australian Blu-Ray at the moment I have the UK release which went OOP a long time ago

My best version though is my 20th Anniversary DVD that had great features & looked fantastic.

so are you saying that the 20th Anniversary DVD is the best one to go with? I just don't want to pay those prices for a used DVD, Know what I'm saying?

Weren't there several cuts of the movie on home video? If I recall I own two of them that had different intros.

What I do know for sure that the blu ray is a collector's item nowadays hence why I held on to my DVD copies.

I hope that Shout! can re-release the movie.

The only edits I'm familiar with is when someone says "****" and it was taken out for some releases.

It's the one I prefer.

My Blu-Ray is really cut down on the extras the 20th Anniversary was 2 Disc IIRC & had a ton of stuff on it.

And to my eyes the PQ between the 20th Anni & my BD are negligible...in fact I'd say the DVD looks better.

I never realised they had increased in price so much.

I believe that Spike says "Ah, sh**!" and that was cut from some of the releases.

I think Beachhead says that here, too:

You're talking about the old cartoon movie, right? I've got a spare, if you want to pay the shipping, you can have it.

Just found my old Region-3 DVD, load it up and it was the cut that had the stupid Star Wars scrolling text that totally drowns the Transformers theme.

I've got the 20th Anniversary DVD somewhere . I didn't know the movie was so hard to find these days.
