The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Transformers: Scramble City Activation (トランスフォーマー スクランブルシティ発動編), mostly referred to as just Scramble City (スクランブルシティ) is an episode of The Transformers released as an OVA (Original Video Animation) in Japan on April 1, 1986. It was created as a promotional video for the new line of 'Scramble City' toys and the cassettes that were paired with the toy sets. Despite strong belief (such as that voiced on the 20th Anniversary DVD bonus commentary for the episode), it was not meant to introduce Japanese audiences to the new characters from The Transformers: The Movie (considering Ultra Magnus, Ramhorn, Steeljaw, and Ratbat are the only ones from the film that appear in it). Chronologically, it takes place years before the movie, during the early stages of construction on Autobot City. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
