Movie opens Thursday 28th of June
 As if the animated movie of the 80's wasn't enough, Michael Bay and a team of top notch special effects creators plus the requesite squishy human actors are bringing all the Transformers action to the big screen.
Don't worry, Peter Cullen is still doing the voice of Optimus Prime!
Impact Comics is gearing up for this and is the only place you need for your Transformers fix this year.
As you probably know by now, we here at Impact have a lot of appreciation for giant alien robots that change into things, come into the shop and check out our display of vintage Transformers, The Transformers Museum!
Here's just a tease of what Transformers goodies we have in stock or coming soon. Drop in or contact us if you have any special requests.
