Happy Monday Seibertronians! Posted just today to the official YouTube Transformers channel is a Transformers 35th anniversary montage style commercial. This really doesn't sell anything specific nor does it seek to convert people to one side of the fandom or the other, but anyone who's reading this has that same passion for Transformers we all have. And if you have that 'spark' in your heart then this little video is sure to bring a smile to your Monday. Covering pretty much every version of Transformers that brought all of us and any of us here to this hobby, this is for all of us. Whether you're a G1 fan or an ultra gear Beast Wars fan or fell in love with the live action movies, this year is a time for us all to celebrate. Share your Transformers memories in the forums and as always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

The video was nice, though I have to admit that it felt a bit lacking that Beast Machines, RID, the Unicron Trilogy, Animated, and most of the Aligned continuity. Nerdy? Yes, and I have a hunch at least the RID anime isn't fully owned by Hasbro yet, but those were big portions to the Transformers franchise like G1, Beast Wars, and the movies are. Still, at least it's not just the G1 cartoon or that Bumblebee flick.

Its a commercial format so no way they could fit a 35 year legacy into it, but for what it is, I really dig it.


Especially the part at the end with the dad and kids. I feel that. I love sitting with my kids and watching them enjoy the things I did as a kid.

That's what really got me too. It's gone by so fast it seems like those days were yesterday.

Nice video!

35 years of wonderful Transformers goodness. I know there's a few of us on these forums that remember watching that first episode and thinking, "This is the most radical thing ever!" (To you young whippersnappers, "radical" had a bit of a different meaning back then)

It occurs to me: what the heck is my nursing home room going to look like in another 35 years?

Most masterfully decked out with Transformers room in the place, duhhh.

I’ll never forget watching it with my brother I was hooked for life.

Goosebumps? CHECK!
Tearing up? CHECK!

So awesome! 35 years of memories. I've been here since the first shipment of the 3 seekers hit Toys R Us in '84.

35 years ago I watched it every saturday and the rerun on sunday at the Fun Factory, Skychannel.
If I remember correctly, Soundwave was my first Transformer

Loved it. Did anyone else notice that the kid became a bearded fat man.....much like most of us hahaha
