Originally released in 1986, The Transformers: The Movie became one of the most memorable Transformers films, bringing Autobots and Decepticons to the big screen in an animated feature that remains a fan favorite decades later.
Now, Hasbro and Fathom Entertainment are giving audiences another chance to experience the movie in 4K when it returns to theaters internationally from September 17 through 22. Following the credits of The Transformers: The Movie, audiences will get an exclusive look at Optimus Prime: Awakening, a brand-new 12-minute animated short that expands on the story and gives the iconic Autobot leader one final adventure.
Most importantly, ScreenRant can exclusively reveal that Optimus Prime: Awakening features the late Peter Cullen’s final original voice performance as Optimus Prime.
Cullen voiced Optimus Prime for more than four decades, providing the greatest quote in Transformers history, and making his interpretation of the character one of the most recognizable performances in animation. His deep, commanding voice became inseparable from Optimus’ image as a courageous and compassionate leader, making his final performance particularly meaningful for longtime fans.

In addition to previously announced markets, screenings have now been confirmed in France, Singapore, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, and Peru.
For fans who grew up with Cullen’s Optimus Prime, the anniversary release offers a rare opportunity to hear the legendary actor’s voice in the role one final time. His performance in Optimus Prime: Awakening ensures that his connection to the character will continue to be part of the franchise even as Transformers moves into its next era.
