48: Public Service Announcements
For the Transformers cartoon, a series of five public service announcements was produced for the second season, each with a different lesson to be learned. For reasons unknown, these PSAs were not aired on television and went unseen by the public for over a decade. The animation for these shorts was handled by Toei, while the scripts were almost exact duplicates of the PSAs used for the G.I. Joe cartoon, only replacing the G.I. Joe characters with Transformers characters. As a matter of fact, each PSA ended with one of the troubled kids spouting "Now I know!" The featured Transformer would then follow it up with the infamous catch-phrase, "And knowing is half the battle!" The same scripts used for the G.I. Joe and Transformers PSAs were also recycled for another Hasbro/Sunbow cartoon, Jem and the Holograms, albeit the catch-phrase was changed to, "Doing the right thing makes you a superstar!"

49: Transformers The Movie—Apocalypse Be Eternal, Matrix (Matrix Forever)
"Matrix Forever" was a 20-minute video created to promote the Japanese release of The Transformers: The Movie in 1989. Technically, the full title of the promo video is "Transformer the Movie Mokushiroku Matrix yo Eien ni" (トランスフォーマー・ザ・ムービー 黙示録 マトリクスよ永遠にー), or "Transformers: The Movie—Apocalypse: Be Eternal, Matrix". Yes, that's a punctuational nightmare. "Matrix Forever" will do. The video includes a preview trailer for the film, a collection of Transformers TV series openings, and some TV commercials for the toys. A widespread misconception among fans holds that The Transformers: The Movie itself was retitled Matrix Forever in Japan.[1]
