"..AN ANIMATED 80'S CLASSIC.."
This review is for the 1986 movie and the 4K UK Blu-ray release.PLOT...The year is 2005 … For millennia, the heroic Autobots, led by Optimus Prime have been at war with the evil Megatron and his Decepticons over control of their home planet of Cybertron. However, an even greater threat – Unicron a colossal converting planet that devours everything in its path – is heading right for Cybertron. The only hope is the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. Will the Autobots be able to save themselves and their home world in time?The 80's produced some of the most classic franchises that still exist today and the transformers is one of the biggest that will never go away, and will thrill fans for many years to come! The Transformers animated movie from 1986 is one of the best looking animated movies still today with amazing artwork and thrilling characters we love who endlessly battle each, this movie however was the first story to break the mould and be slightly controversial in killing key characters and adding much emotion and depth to the Transformers story ark, spine tingling in every way this movie still is great looking with a nice 4K picture which looks colourful and the sound is great! A classic soundtrack and many talented voice actors star in the movie, if you haven't already seen it then its a must buy, a great bit of animated history here.The Blu-ray has a great 4K picture and sound.The Blu-ray has the Shout factory logo so I assume the features are the same as the USA version.Features are great with a commentary, trailer, TV spots, feature length storyboards, a lengthy documentary on the making of the movie (46mins) many other featurettes and deleted scenes (38mins)4K disc Region FREE ABC, Blu-ray region B. Running time 85mins. 1986.English language movie. Subtitles English, English SDH, Spanish.If you buy the limited edition version you get a nice Hard-box case with 6 art-cards, poster and book.

This Blu-Ray DVD Combo Pack of The Transformers: The Movie Truly is More Than Meets The Eye
I remember watching all 98 episodes of the original 1984 classic cartoon series The Transformers when it was streaming on Netflix, yet at the time, Netflix didn't have the animated The Transformers: The Movie streaming with the series set 20 years after the end of season 2 before season 3 of the cartoon, which season 2 took place in 1985, making this film take place in the now old year of 2005. I couldn't watch the movie when Netflix had the original Transformers cartoon before it was taken off of the streaming platform, so when I finally got the complete series on DVD by Shout! Factory now know as Shout! Studios and got this 35th anniversary Blu-Ray DVD Combo Pack of this movie to complete the rest of the series, I was blown away with the movie when I have finally watched it after rewatching all of seasons 1 and 2 on DVD. It really is an epic movie that kicks off the events of season 3 of The Transformers cartoon. I so want to tell anyone reading this review on what happens in the movie, but that would be too long a review and I shouldn't spoil anything about it so as if you want to buy it and watch it, you can be surprised for yourself. The main part of this review is mainly the Blu-Ray DVD combo pack itself and how good the it is put together. To start off, let's start off with the Blu-Ray and picture quality of the print. The film on the Blu-Ray disc is presented in a standard full frame presentation for this 35th anniversary edition. According to my research on this film, the animators actually drew the film in full frame, then before it was released in theaters in 1985, the animator's cut off part of the top and bottom of the motion picture to create a widescreen version for theaters. In this 35th anniversary Blu-Ray edition, you are actually getting the original full frame picture of the movie and it looks great with the Blu-Ray quality enhancements done to it. As for the DVD that comes with this Blu-Ray with the same movie on it, it is the 30th anniversary DVD edition of the film and is therefore presented in the theatrical widescreen format that has part of the top and bottom of the picture cut off to create the widescreen effect as I have mentioned already. I haven't tried out the DVD yet at the time of this review, but I may check out the DVD eventually to compare both the full screen and widescreen versions of the film. Also, there is one more easter egg to the Blu-Ray DVD combo pack that was mentioned in another review of this movie here on Amazon and is exclusive to the Blu-Ray DVD combo pack and is not available for the 4K remastered version: the cover art for the 35th anniversary edition Blu-Ray is double sided, with the 35th anniversary edition cover art on one side that you will see shipped to you if you do buy this on Amazon, and the reverse side has a very faithful recreation of the original VHS video cassette box art with the theatrical poster on the front with some updates done to it to fit the Blu-Ray case dimensions for all retro Transformers enthusiasts out there who grew up with the VHS video tapes back then. Now that retro style cover art for this Blu-Ray DVD combo pack for this movie is just prime! I will definitely be having this retro style cover art for my copy of this movie out at all times for my collection. I have photos of this Blu-Ray DVD combo pack attached to this review so anyone reading this review can see what is included and see both cover artworks for this movie. This is a very epic Blu-Ray release of this film and if you are wanting to see the entire series with the Shout! Factory DVD box set, you should definitely not miss this one to complete the whole series. This Blu-Ray DVD combo pack of The Transformers: The Movie has earned my full five star rating. I highly recommend this product to any die hard Transformers fan like me out there. That concludes my review for this product. I hope you liked it, and remember, til all are one!

Sí pudiera le pondría 6 estrellas.
El clásico de la niñez de muchos. Un remasterizado excepcional en el bluray. Contiene muchos extras muy interesantes y subtítulos en español. El material es el mismo en ambos formatos. Además de portada doble.

Unreal
I was recently watching a DVD version of this with my son and it seems so ancient. It looked as though a VHS had been simply directly transferred to it. It just seemed lifeless.Decided to get the 4K version and so glad I did. What an absolutely incredible upgrade. So many visual improvements made on this release… it’s so vibrant and stunning visually. Work was put it and it shows. It was as though I was watching and experiencing this movie again for the first time; so glad my son was able to experience this particular version.

最高!
ネット配信で古いトランスフォーマーアニメを探しましたがどれも日本語吹き替えでオリジナル音声(英語)が無く最終的にこの商品にたどり着きました。オートボットとダイナボットのドタバタコメディーに癒されます!※普通にPS4のプレーヤーで見れました。リージョンコードは関係無いみたいです。
