I remember that I used to have these tapes from my cousin that contained several episodes of Transformers (first generation). The tapes were all recorded from the Sci-Fi channel. So that gives an idea of roughly when this was recorded.

On one of the tapes there was a movie. I do not recall much about it, but I do recall that the beginning showed an empty desert, then all of a sudden from the red sand a hand popped up. Unfortunately, I know this isn't much to go by. But that's all I can recall. I know I would recognize other portions of it if I saw them.
