Transformers: The Movie Promotional Standee

Posted by El Duque Aug 11, 2011 at 5:40pm CDT 40,045 views
As we're sure most of you are aware August 8th marked the 25th anniversary of Transformers: The Movie. To coincide with the silver anniversary Shawn Jones has been kind enough to share some images of a unique piece of Transformers: The Movie memorabilia. Below you'll find images for a rare promotional standee for the f.h.e. VHS release of the film from his personal collection. As you can see the piece is in excellent condition and he even has the original packaging and instructions.

ha, i remember that little video. it would be cool to see a new movie made that way.

as for the standee, i so miss the original orange version of the title. its so pretty and seperated it from the show kinda like "THIS IS A MOVIE!". lol

i have the movie poster of the same image but it has the typical red and blue for the title instead. its one of the reasons i waited for the rhino release of the first dvd to buy the movie cuz i wanted that original font.

I saw it in the theater in 1986. When it came out later on home video, I rented it relentlessly from the video store after we got a VCR. VHS was king and video stores were EVERYWHERE. My how things have changed.

To me, Transformers: The Movie represents the ONLY film worthy of representing this fantastic universe. It is bold, emotional, funny, and hopeful. The good guys don't always win, and some of them DIE? Mind-blowing.

Thanks everyone. I had never seen this thing anywhere else, so I figured you'd all get a kick out of it. I saw the flick in the theaters when it first came out. They did a food drive for the screening, so my admission was a box of mac & cheese.

I was wondering why they didn't do a 25th anniversary edition at first then I remembered several companies put out a 2 disc version for the 20th anniversary. Heck, I own two of them. The only way I'd buy a fourth copy of the movie is if the animate the deleted storyboards and edit them in.

I remember seeing extra footage, for example, in the scene where Perceptor sees the Decepticons as they fall/fly to the autobot base. I don't know why it wasn't kept in the final cut somehow, since it showed more of the autobase in all its glory.
