40th anniversary: dates, tickets and format

The 1986 animated film returns with a new CG short, Optimus Prime: Awakening. Fathom advertises a 4K presentation and selected 4DX screenings; check the specific auditorium.

US event dates: Sep 17, 2026 start · final date unconfirmed
Presentation: 4K presentation; 4DX in select markets
Booking at this check: Local showtime lookup available

The official page conflicts: its description says September 17–22, while its date selector extends to October 1. September 17 is the confirmed start; we are not treating either ending as a reliable deadline.

Will every theater show Transformers in 4DX?

No. Fathom limits 4DX to selected markets. Confirm the format on the venue's actual showtime before buying.

Availability and local showtimes can change. These are release notes based on the linked sources, not a film review.
