 The year following the series cancellation, episodes of Transformers were  repackaged for more syndicated releases. Featuring a puppet of Powermaster  Optimus Prime and a boy named Tommy, one of these stories was the  Transformers movie, shown in syndication for the first time. Broken up into 3  parts, referred to as Days, a lot of time was spent with Optimus in  exposition to pad out the time due to edits for television and commercials.  In addition, the music video for Stan Bushs "The Touch," a favorite song  used in the movie, was also included, again introduced by Puppetmaster Prime.
