AMC lists the runtime at 1 hr 36 min -- which is still 10 minutes longer than the film's original runtime. @tfuinfo.bsky.social thinks this extra time probably counts the trailers and anything Fathom is running pre-movie as well. Stands to reason that different chains could show different stuff.

MYSTERY: What is the runtime of The Transformers: The Movie 40th Anniversary (2026) screening? Cinemark lists 1 hr 41 min, while Fandango says 2 hr 24 min Which one is correct?! Keeping in mind that the original film is 85 minutes end-to-end, we're getting at least 16 minutes of...something more

In my research for the re-release of Transformers: The Movie, I accidentally discovered that showtimes are already listed -- and it looks like tickets are actually on sale already, despite what the press release says. But also! Are you seeing the same thing I'm seeing here?

Going to give the bad boy a spin all the way through on the way to work today. Wish me luck!

Am I the only dork who thought for quick second "Secret of Cybertron confirmed to be found"? No? Just me? Okay, cool.

ARRIVAL! Just got my copies of The Transformers: The Movie: The Soundtrack - The Reformatted Edition from Reigning Phoenix Music Got the CD for my car, the cassette for my studio/office, and the green vinyl for my collection to show off that incredible @mattferguson.bsky.social cover art!

I've been going through old newspapers looking for vintage reviews and ads for Transformers: The Movie for my 40 For 40 podcast and came across this absolute beauty - full page ad in the Los Angeles Times on Friday, August 8th.

I'm not saying that @hasbropulse.bsky.social listens to my podcast - but I'm not saying they don't either! Anyway, a new 40 For 40 episode just dropped on the Mike Seibert Radio Podcast feed yesterday

Friends, we've reached the "complaining about the made-to-order model" era of discourse. Congratulations. Nobody Hates Transformers More Than Transformers Fans

Transformers: The Movie mentioned on Prime Day on KIRO Newsradio 97.3 FM in Seattle (I just couldn't help myself)

Morning coffee with Boba & Mando (AKA the movie we really wanted to see)

Look, I just appreciate that we have an entire day to celebrate the cyber-erotic thriller "Disclosure" from 1994 starring Michael Douglas and Demi Moore

As a TV to movie continuation, the Mandalorian and Grogu is no Transformers: The Movie (Graphic by @apdc.bsky.social )

Honestly, I don't know if this makes things better or worse. I bought everything yesterday because I like Matt Ferguson's artwork, but that new version of the Touch doesn't sound great and I did not like the Cold Slither stuff last year.

New podcast episode dropping today with my interview with @warstories1986.bsky.social and @craigactually.bsky.social about an exciting new fanzine "War Stories: 40 Years of Memories of The Transformers: The Movie" Plus, the latest episode of 40 For 40 drops on Tuesday, as regularly scheduled!

Look, I don't even care that it's a cynical cash grab (which in itself is a meta Easter Egg), I'm going. And I'm going to need that poster too.

May the 4th be with you

Did you know that the Ultra Magnus toy had a bizarre play feature where you could make a vehicle out of his helmet and chest piece? I talk about that during this week's 40 For 40 Transformers: The Movie, "I Can't Deal With That Now!" youtu.be/4LwePEqsmck?... 📷: @tfsquareone.bsky.social

In addition to his iconic Marvel work, Gerry Conway also co-wrote a pair of banger episodes from season 3 of The Transformers: Forever Is a Long Time Coming and Money Is Everything

Happy Easter

Does anyone here know if there's a rip of the VHS or TV version of Transformers: The Movie anywhere? I'm looking for for an example of Spike's swear word being censored, but I can't seem to find anything
