The U.K. Transformers: The Movie blu-ray.
Thought this needed a thread.
Definitely the best I've seen this movie. I remain unconvinced that HD brings a huge visual upgrade when applied to contemporary animation (like that Lion's Gate Dr Strange movie, or Appleseed Ex Machina) but for a twenty year old hand drawn movie? Oh yeah. The drawbacks are it's a very barebones disc; they don't even include the option of watching it fullframe (as every transfan knows, Transformers was matted to fit a widescreen release, and the 4:3 version contains more visual information.) And the print they used is not super clean, there's occasional bits of grain and/or dirt, though that probably reflects the theatrical experience for something as culty as this--so it didn't bother me all that much. Plus I only got it for $20 with shipping from Amazon UK! Thank gosh Britain is not in the eurozone.
(Note: I refuse to explain the difference between TF:TM and a Michael Bay film.)
