The Transformers: The Movie Barcode Poster
This is The Transformers: The Movie (1986), like you've never seen it before... told entirely in colour. The most prominent colour of every frame comes together to form a colour barcode of the film — a vivid portrait of its mood, light and palette from beginning to end. Choose your layout: the full design with the film's title, year and key credits, a simpler version with just the title and year, or the barcode on its own — a love letter to The Transformers: The Movie for those who know it scene by scene.
Bolder and stranger than any episode of the cartoon, Nelson Shin's animated feature hurls the warring Autobots and Decepticons into an intergalactic showdown with the planet-devouring Unicron, voiced by Orson Welles in his final role. Loud, garish and set to a gloriously overwrought rock soundtrack, it stunned young fans with its ruthless plot turns. A cult favourite steeped in eighties excess.

Print size & quality
Every piece is printed on thick, 175gsm fine-art matte paper with archival inks — so the colours stay rich, deep and true for years, with no fading and no fuss. Before it heads your way, it's wrapped in soft tissue to keep it scratch-free and sent out in a sturdy kraft tube or a robust triangular kraft box (never plastic).
Available sizes
Framing options
Fancy it ready to hang? Add a solid pine frame — sturdy, handsome and built to last. Take your pick from black, natural wood, or white. Each one is 20–25mm deep and 10–14mm wide: the sweet spot between strength and understated good looks.
We finish every frame with shatterproof, crystal-clear plexiglass to keep your print pristine — and it arrives already framed, so it goes straight from the box to your wall with no faff.
Framing is available for these sizes: A4, A3, A2, A1, 8x10, 11x14, 12x16, 12x18, 16x20, 18x24, 20x28, 24x32, 24x36 and 28x40.
