Paramount has announced that Transformers will be released October 16 exclusively on HD DVD, day-and-date with the standard DVD release.

Transformers on HD DVD will span two discs and be presented in 1080p widescreen video with Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 audio. Sorry audiophiles, no lossless audio wil be included — which is a huge bummer for those with awesome sound setups.

The HD DVD version will include all the extra features found on the standard two-disc DVD edition along with HD DVD exclusives.
