Hasbro has collaborated with record label Reigning Phoenix Music to announce "The Transformers: The Movie: The Soundtrack: The Reformatted Edition", a fully reimagined official soundtrack for the iconic 1986 animated film.
The soundtrack brings 10 re-recorded, reimagined tracks from the film, featuring performances by THE KNIGHTS OF UNICRON, with guest appearances by Stan Bush and other notable artists.
Composer Vince Dicola complements this winning formula, making it a true collaboration for die-hard "Transformers" fans.
The soundtrack track listing includes "The Touch," "Instruments of Destruction," "Death of Optimus Prime," and more.
Additionally, Hasbro is bringing the 1986 animated film back to theatres for its 40th anniversary, inviting fans to relive the action, music, and yes...
that moment.
The loss of Optimus Prime remains one of the most talked-about moments in franchise history.
As part of the year-long "Apology Tour," Hasbro is leaning into shared experiences, bringing fans together to grieve, heal, and reminisce at special fan events all year long, including the film's return to theaters.
The theatrical release will begin on September 17, 2026, in honor of "Transformers Day," with a wide release across the U.S.
through September 21 as a special limited-run cinema experience.
Tickets will be available later this summer and at participating theatre box offices.
Fans can also expect additional anniversary surprises across toys, merchandise, publishing, and more because 40 years later...
it still hits like a truck.
