Forty years after it first rolled into theaters, The Transformers: The Movie is making a triumphant return to the big screen, and its anniversary trailer is every bit as perfect as you’d hope.
The new trailer features memorable moments from the 1986 animated classic, but it also drops a surprise: a brand-new post-credits scene that teases the future of the Transformers universe. That’s more than enough to get longtime fans counting the days.
It’s also a great reminder of why this movie is still considered the best Transformers film ever made by so many fans. While the live-action movies have had their ups and downs, and even the fantastic Transformers One didn’t find the audience it deserved, this animated classic has never lost its spark.
If you’ve never seen it on the big screen, or you’ve been waiting 40 years for the chance to do it again, this is one theatrical return you won’t want to miss.
Roll out… and stick around after the credits.
