Hasbro is commemorating the 40th anniversary of The Transformers: The Movie in 2026 with ‘The Apology Tour’, a year-long celebration honoring the legacy of the classic animated movie which traumatised a generation by mercilessly killing off the heroic Autobot leader Optimus Prime during his epic Autobot City confrontation with arch-nemesis Megatron.

As part of the celebrations, Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics have announced the upcoming release of the first-ever hardcover edition of The Transformers: The Movie, which brings together both comic book adaptations of the film – The Transformers: The Movie #1-3 from Marvel Comics and The Transformers: The Animated Movie #1-4 from IDW Publishing – into one deluxe volume.
