I'm talking about the actual 1986 animated original, back for its 40th anniversary in crystal-clear 4K from 17 September on Transformers Day.Hasbro's branded the whole campaign the "Apology Tour", a year-long mea culpa for (spoilers) killing off Optimus Prime in this exact film back in '86, still one of the first childhood traumas that blindsided every kid thinking it was about to have a happy ending… Relive it now!
