Takara Tomy have released the full 40th anniversary Special Video created by Japanese Studio Trigger, all created using classic cel animation! All credit goes to Amemiya Satoshi, director of the film Gridman Universe - the backing is provided by popular Japanese band BUMP OF CHICKEN, with their classic 2007 release "Mayday".
It's a real work of love, with a ton of cameos from characters across the Transformers franchise, with many old favourites making a welcome appearance - can you spot them all?
