For the 440 lucky Transformers fans gathered at Shaw Theatres IMAX Waterway Point on Friday, 30 August for an exclusive early IMAX screening of Transformers One , two weeks prior to its official release, it was a chance to catch the first animated theatrical Transformers film in almost 40 years! This event, hosted by Geek Culture (the region’s leading online entertainment, tech and gaming media) and UIP Singapore , marked a monumental occasion as it not only celebrated the first animated Transformers movie in nearly 40 years, it allowed parents who grew up on the 1986 film, Transformers: The Movie , to now bring their children to experience the same with Transformers One . The air crackled with anticipation as attendees, many sporting their favourite Transformers gear (one even brought his Universal Studios Beijing-exclusive Grimlock popcorn bucket), eagerly awaited a glimpse into the untold origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron. Fans of the franchise were treated not only to an advanced viewing of the film, but also to an immersive fan experience that included photo ops with life-size statues of beloved characters such as Orion Pax (Optimus Prime), D-16 (Megatron), B-127 (Bumblebee), and Elita-1.
The event didn’t just stop at the screening; attendees were engaged with in-hall trivia activities where they could win a plethora of prizes from Hasbro Singapore , Blokees , and The Fa.
