    Default How did you first watch The Transformers The Movie?

    How/where did you watch The Transformers: The Movie (1986) for the first time? I watched it in the cinema. George St. Hoyts to be precise.

    Cinema - I *think* - when I was a boy. Saw it heeeeeaps more often after that on video cassette, my Dad used to let me hire it from the local video store regularly.

    I think the cinema I used to frequent most often was Waverley Gardens in Mulgrave, Victoria. My first definite memory of going to that cinema was seeing the Tim Burton Batman film in 1990, only 4 years after TF:TM, so while I don't have a specific memory of which cinema I went to, that's the most likely.

    On the TV. I grew up in an area with only two channels, ABC and a regional version of Nine.
    We happened to be holidaying at a place called Lake Boga in Victoria over the school holidays, either summer or easter because we went there to water ski.
    Lake Boga I think had the regional version of 10 (iirc) and low and behold they had the movie on!!

    Was it on New Year's Day? I remember when they used to play TFTM every year on NYD.

    Dvd and/or vhs rental sometime in mid 2000s, but it kept bugging out at the Quintesson execution scenes. I was huge into the G1 cartoon from about 2003 to 2007, when they played it all the time on Boomerang. I eventually gravitated a little more to Cybertron in 2005-6 and the movies thereafter, but I'd always go back to the G1 cartoon.
