Hasbro Inc. has announced an upcoming cinema event called Till All Are One: Transformers 40th Anniversary Event to celebrate forty years of the Transformers franchise. The event will feature screenings in selected cinemas worldwide, and it aims to pay homage to the long-standing appeal of the Transformers series, known for its action-packed and adventurous storytelling that has thrilled fans of all ages for four decades now. Starting May 15, viewers in the US, UK, Mexico, and certain areas in Europe, Latin America, and Asia can watch episodes from the original 1984 animated series The Transformers. The initiative is designed to bring fans back to the early days of the Autobots and Decepticons saga, with screenings intended to stir nostalgia and introduce the foundational stories to new viewers. Tickets will be available from April 10 at 9:30 am Local Time.
The event will include a unique behind-the-scenes look, featuring a table read with some of the original voice actors like Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime) and Frank Welker (Megatron), who are reuniting for the event. The experience will be shared via a split-screen during the pilot episode, “More Than Meets the Eye, Part 1,” and continue with screenings of the next three episodes, offering a deep dive into the series’ origins. Additionally, the event will preview the upcoming season of the animated series Transformers: Earthspark, connecting the franchise’s past with its future.
