When Michael Bay’s Transformers was released on DVD last Tuesday, it sold 8.3 million copies in one week and quickly became the best selling HD-DVD movie of all-time. Of course, these 8.3 million copies were made up of a number of exclusive versions for different retailers, including one from Target that came in a transforming case, and one from Wal-mart that came packaged with an animated prequel called Transformers: Beginnings. If you didn’t get your hands on the Wal-mart release but would still like to watch the prequel, it has recently found its way onto YouTube. Be warned though — it’s nothing special, and to call it “animated” is a bit of an exagerration since it’s mostly just still images floating around on screen with a narrator telling the origin story of the Transformers. Save yourself the extra cash and check out the videos below!
