So we are back and this is a little bit of what you would call retro. This movie came out in 1986 in theaters I might add and I literally found out about it this year. This is TRANSFORMERS THE MOVIE 1986. The heroic Autobots defend their homeworld Cybertron from the evil Decepticons. Both factions are seething with anger, and that hatred has blinded them to a hideous menace headed their way. I thought for it to be 1986 it was pretty awesome I enjoyed every minute of it and the story should be made love action it’s pretty dope and UNICRON IS INSANE!!!!

Still the best Transformers movie ever made!!!
I just got out of the cinema for Rise of the Beasts this afternoon and it is equal to this 1986 film in my eyes 1986 and Rotb as well as the Bumblebee movie are all 3, equally the best Transformers movie imo
I agree 86 movie is the best, Rise of the beasts I enjoyed however it's not acurate to g1, also Unicron doesn't transform in rise of the beasts and you barely see him which sucked. In addition Optimus was a jobber in most of this movie up until the end. Also G1 prime is gangster he took out an army of deceptions on his own in the 86 movie, meanwhile Prime in rise of the beasts struggled to take down Scourge who is no where near powerful as Megatron. In order to enjoy the movie I had to detach my g1 knowledge other wise it wouldn't have been as enjoyable. The scale of the beasts to the autobots is not accurate also. In beast wars the beasties were way smaller than the autobots. Overall rating I'd give a 3.5 out of 5, which is still better than all the bay verse movies
@Daimon S I'm going to see 'Beasts' at the end of this month. No film will match up to this animation in my opinion.
not just the best. but the ONLY transformers movie.
michael bay should be jailed for his atrocities.
@@sabin97pretty much. This is the only transformers about transformers.
So many years later, and live action still hasn´t beaten the movie that scarred an entire generation by killing their hero right away...
The Transformers 1986 movie will forever be the best animated motion picture ever made in my mind,watching it for the first time as an adult would be ok but it just can't compare to seeing it through the eyes of a child in the theater barely 7 years old like I did. That has a totally different effect that stays with you the rest of your life at that age.
I was 15 same effect
This movie carried alot more weight for us young fans who watched the TV series back in the 80s. Building rapport with characters and then watching your heroes die was tough. I still rewatch this movie about once a year, it's timeless for me. :)
My Mother was stunned to be watching the carnage unfold, and kept asking me questions throughout the film as her little boy was trying to hold back tears watching Optimus Prime die.
Optimus was an excellent role model of strength, nobility, honor and compassion. A real child hood hero.
And they wonder why we still watch it.
Yea I was 19 and lost my sh*t when I heard there was going to be a Transformers movie , I had to go and see it. I had to go alone because none of my friends were geeky.
When I saw Decepticons blasting Autobots to death really it hit me kind of hard. Then Prime and Megatron have that battle and Prime dies! I almost cried right there in the theater.
Then years later I’m watching “Boogie Nights” and Mark Wahlberg is singing “The Touch…”
i was about 5 year old when it came out and this link G1 to G2.
Prime was the Hulk Hogan of the Transformers.. say your prayers eat your vitamins and listen to mom and dad
Saw it in theater with my best friend. Amazing. You gotta understand, this was the best looking animation most of us had ever seen. It fueled our imaginations! I wish I could go back then and rewatch it in that tiny mall theater.
Saw it with my uncle and cousin. Blew us away!!! The score , Prime's death , enter Galvatron and Hotrod/Rodimus!!! Our senses were overloaded. Plus a kid in the row in front of us had a Hotrod action figure that he let us take a look at. It was our first time seeing him on the big screen and here this dude already had the toy🤯 WoW!!
Watching it on the big screen with the sound was definitely amazing.
My mom took me, great memory.
"You gotta understand, this was the best looking animation most of us had ever seen".
Everyone seems to forget this. But in the UK I hadn't seen and could nt see Japanese Anime movies.
Transformers the Movies was the best animated Film I saw all the the way until I was a teenager.
I don't think this animation quality has been beat to this day
The toys and TV cartoon came out in 84, so this was 2 years into the series. This was the toy company wiping out all the old toys to get kids to buy the new ones. But they didnt realize how attached they were to the old ones. And Optimus Prime especially.
The animated film that traumatized a generation. I've read many many tales of kids locking themselves in their bedrooms back in the day.
Hasbro had tons of letters from angry parents, forcing the company to reverse course and resurrect Optimus Prime, and the following GI Joe movie aborted plans to kill off Duke.
Marvel did the same thing in the comics (killing off both Optimus Prime and Megatron), only to resurrect both characters several years later.
Yes, but this movie was produced around '85 which is why some characters and most of the combiners are not in the movie.
And we made them bring him back for the final episodes of the g1 series but I still got that ultra Magnus and rodimus prime for my birthday.
Love how wide your eyes got when Unicorn transformed. Such an epic moment
Thank you I'm in my 40's and still love this movie. I don't think Hasbro knew what they had untill years later
This was when they started realising the characters were as important as the toys, and that with good characters, people actually got _attached_ to them. Soon after this, they actually started creating new toys of existing characters, like Powermaster Optimus Prime, and the Classic Pretenders, and they also started trademarking the character names as a matter of course so they could continue to reuse them.
@@Brickerbrack The Powermaster side of things was based off the Japanese continuity that continued when the U.S. version stopped in 1987/88 right as they introduced the Headmasters. Pretenders was just an attempted cash grab because they were kind of trying to revive the brand after the show ended because of making the huge mistake of killing off Optimus.
As mentioned, many kids in the 80's were traumatized by the Death of Optimus Prime. there were LETTER WRITING campaigns (this was pre-internet) with complaints. It was assumed that "killing" robots would be less traumatic than killing humans, and they underestimated the emotional attachment to the charcaters. As a result they rushed a two part episode of the animated series where Optimus was resurrected
even more importantly they had to scramble to edit the GI joe movie, which was supposed to come out before the transformers movie, in order to rewrite duke's death and just have him in a coma instead for the duration of the film.
@@Lorkanthal Well I remember Entertainment magazine describing Optimus Prime as the "John Wayne" of the franchise....makes sense that they would be careful with "The Duke" as well (get it?)
@@Lorkanthal What's even more astounding is that they changed Duke's death by only changing the dialogue and not the animation so it's obvious that Duke was intended to have been killed, and we never see him again through the rest of the movie.
Check out the episode Dark Awakening. If you want to see something truly disturbing. It is part of the 3rd season .
Dark Awakening was episode that had two different ending monologues.
Was 6 when I saw this in theaters. First time I cried at a movie.
"Prime!"
"One shall stand, one shall fall."
"Why throw away your life so recklessly?"
"That's a question you should ask yourself, Megatron."
Fun Fact: The Blu-Ray special edition of this movie features an audio commentary by Nelson Shin (director), Flint Dille (story consultant), and Susan Blu (voice of Arcee).
Final Bow Fact: This was Orson Welles' final film before his death on October 10, 1985 at the age of 70. He recorded his lines five days prior, on October 5. This was Scatman Crothers' final film before his death on November 22, 1986 at age 76.
Final Countdown Fact: At the movie's beginning, when the Autobots are taking off on their ship, Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) orders Cliffjumper for a countdown. Cliffjumper was voiced by Casey Kasem, who was the host of America's Top 40 Countdown for many years. This was obviously a little joke added by the writers, considering we didn't need to hear a shuttle countdown, and any character could have done this.
Arcee's Journey Facts: One of the original demands of the Transformers toyline and cartoon series was that no female Transformers could appear, as the toys were marketed strictly towards boys. However, writer Ron Friedman fought hard to include female robots in the Transformers lore, as his daughter was a huge fan of the franchise. This led to the creation of Arcee (Susan Blu), a female Autobot debuting in this movie, as well as a number of other female characters introduced during season 2 of The Transformers (1984). Ironically, despite being one of the movie's feature characters, no toy of Arcee was produced during the entirety of the original Transformers line, though at least one rejected prototype was designed. Arcee became the most famous female character in the Transformers brand, and numerous incarnations of her appeared in various other cartoons, comics, movies and toy series, but this was only in 2014, 28 years after her introduction, that Hasbro finally released a toy based on this movie's design.
Susan Blu was also in the movie Friday the 13th: The New Blood as the mother of the main hero character. So if you actually want to see what she looked like, there you go.
Still the best transformer movie ever. In 86 I was 11, years old, I still have five of the original transformers still in there boxes, I got them graded a few years back.
I remember being so shocked at the beginning when Megatron and Starscream killed Ironhide and Ratchet, it blew my mind
This movie released in theaters on August 8th, 1986. I wasn't born then but I love this movie. The soundtrack and everything about it s amazing other than the Autobot deaths. I cannot watch any of the Autobots die and I really can't watch my buddy, thr great and legendary Optimus Prime die. I love him so much and ge means so much to me and he is my number 1 hero, teacher, role-model, mentor, and idol of all time with his original voice actor, the great and legendary Peter Cullen. I can't watch or hear him die in any form.
My older brother took me to see it when it opened. The audience we saw the movie with had a ball. I had a feeling that Hasbro dropped the ball by killing off most of the Season 1 cast to sell more toys, and REALLY screwed the pooch by including Optimus Prime on their hit list. Hasbro didn't understand what Optimus Prime meant to their audience. Sunbow & Marvel, however, DID and argued against Hasbro's decision to no avail. It took tons of letters from infuriated parents to get the toy company to finally change course.
I saw this in theater ....I was 11. I remember how adult and serious it seemed compared to cartoon show. Seemed like a whole new toy and cartoon from that point on. I wasn't a fan after this..
Movie was good in.hindsight but weekly show sucked. I was more a joe fan too.
It all made his REBIRTH that much more EPIC in Season 3. Prime saves the Galaxy single handed in a 5 part episode. Push that all together that's 2:30, the length of some feature films. Due to all the complaining by douches about TF The Movie, they had to release it as part of the TV Series instead of being a sequel for the theaters. Which would have been amazing.
Yep, 2 weeks before my 7th birthday. This movie was an event for those of us who were there and it was traumatizing in many ways. I'm almost 44 years old and still can remember the first time I saw this in the theater.
If they bought this back to the theaters, i would not hesitate to go and see it again on the big screen. Worth every $$$.
They've brought it back to theaters atleast 2 times. I just watched it last years in the theater with my wife and daughter, it's was their first time watching it.
@@alpha2turbo Wow that is super. I wish they had a showing round my way. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah, there's a limited release of the film every 10 years on the anniversary. Look for theaters near you next time.
This is 80’s goodness. Me and my brother went to see it. They didn’t know how upset folks would get by killing Optimus. So he came back in the later season. Love the animation. Love Stan Busch’ soundtrack. Doesn’t get any better
Hell, they originally killed Duke in GI Joe, but after this broke all us kids hearts, they changed that.
@@JnEricsonx I honestly don’t remember being that broke up over Optimus’s death. I was like OK we have Rodimus and some new guys now. Even bigger transformers. But Ofcourse he came back
@@williambrown6185 I was like 8.
Twice actually
Yeah dark awakening opened a couple wounds
I’m 50 now and seeing this in theaters back then was amazing but sad asf. Almost cried. Was def in shock when some of my fav autobots from seasons 1-3 passed away. Watch those seasons then watch this joint and then seasons 4 and 5 after this movie. I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Transformers until I die.
1 and 2 season 3 was set after this and there was only 4 seasons unless you are looking at the Japanese continuity then it’s 3 seasons followed by the headmasters cartoon
Marvel also published the comics around the same time, so this is technically considered one of the earliest Marvel movies, along with Howard the Duck (😂).
The idea of Unicron being in the core of the earth in The Last Knight was from the Transformers: Prime series.
This was Orson Welles' final performance as Unicron.
It's hilarious that when the Transformers first came out, they were part of the Marvel Universe. Spidey was even in the first mini-series.
It was also his first performance
@@Galvatronover I meant his final performance in general 😂
It was also rumored that Leonard Nimoy did Unicron's final lines as Orson could no longer perform.
@@chasingembers6167 He did; Welles passed away before the movie was finished, so when they needed some extra lines recorded, they got Nimoy to do it.
I was obsessed with Transformers in the early to mid 2000s in late elementary to middle school. My dad probably rented this movie from Blockbuster almost every week maybe spent over idk maybe $5000 all together over a course of time. I watched it so much I had every line almost memorized as a kid. Watching it as an adult I appreciate the animation of this movie despite the many errors it was amazing for the late 80s.
This is connected to the 80's cartoon G1 series, not the live action movies. Arcee was also in the Bumblebee movie.
And yes, Soundwave is superior cause he's freaking awesome! (and my favorite Decepticon). The Dinosaur robots are called Dinobots.
They actually continued this movie in season 3 of the cartoon show.
To me this is still the best Transformers movie ever, but when it comes to the live action movies my favorite is still Bumblebee.
There was also a season four mini-series. The Japanese series ignored Season 4 and continued it from the end of Season 3. For a while, there were technically two leaders, Optimistic Prime, then Rodamis as asort of President of Cybetron.
@@stanleyteriaca2184 I've watched the three seasons of the three Japanese seasons that came after Transformers the Movie.
@@keithsantana145 I have to admit the "two leaders" is mostly my own headcanon, but I can see Rodimous acting much like a president then a war leader.
because it came on weekdays and NOT saturday morning we got more than 10 episodes like many shows today. And it was a delight hearing Soundwave in bumblebee
Saw this opening day in theaters good times miss the 80s best times of my life
Imagine watching all the shows as a kid where no one ever died and then seeing this with an autobot dead 1 minute into this moving was like WOAH!
Blur was voiced by John Moschitta, who was at one time the _Guinness Book of World Records'_ fastest-talking man alive. At his peak, John could speak a whopping 586 words a minute.
Blurr's car mode was voted the Fastest Land Vehicle in Science Fiction by Forbes Magazine a few years ago.
This came out the same year my dad had passed away. My mother and I passed by the theater and I saw that this was playing. I begged her to take me and she promised that she’d take me over the weekend…. That’s when I discovered that theaters change their movies on Fridays. I was so devastated.
I love both of y'all reaction to this movie and I'm a Huge fan of Transformers and The Autobots. Great job y'all! 😎✌️🧨🎆🎇🌼🏆🔥
Going to see Rise of the Beasts today. I’ve also been a huge Transformers fan since 1984.
Imagine seeing this as a 12 year old kid in an era when cartoon characters hardly ever died. They literally wiped out an entire roster of characters we had come to love for over two years. And it was mostly the good guys! This is why many say this movie ruined childhoods. We still love it though.
Definitely the best Transformers movie! What you didn't experience that most of us commenting have was the 2 seasons of the show before the movie came out. I watched those but did not see the movie until I was in my 20's as I told myself I was "too old" for cartoons back in 86 LOL. In the 1st 2 seasons, no one died. The lasers just bounced off and they came back week after week. The massacre on that ship up to the death of Optimus Prime was SO UNEXPECTED back then. No TH-cam or FaceBook... or even MySpace to warn us LOL. I may have gotten something in my eye when Optimus died. They did that so well. What I was happy about the new movies was that they were able to have Peter Cullen voice Optimus Prime. To me he is the one and only. I also remember in the 1st bay movie they did use the line "one shall stand, one shall fall". That gave me goosebumps even if I wasn't near as excited about the movie itself. th-cam.com/video/XA6GAEoL6RQ/w-d-xo.html Glad you guys got to experience the true original!
1st Cartoon I remember ever having a curse word in it, and 1st one to kill off a major character. It also caused a last minute change in the ending of G.I. Joe the Movie.
There is a point in the movie where Galvatron tell the Sweeps to exterminate Ultra Magnus and you see a single connected beam come out of the 4 of them but when it cuts to Ultra Magnus its multiple blast that blows him up. This is because originally the Sweeps were to grab each of Ultra Magnus's limbs and pull him apart. Which is why when the Junkions put Ultra Magnus back together it only shows them grabbing his 4 limbs and the torso. But the producers thought it was too brutal to just have him pulled apart so they changed to it him just blowing up.
I saw that version in the theater. There was another change after the theatrical release, that made the shuttle sequence even cooler. But again someone decided that "SOMEHOW" it was MORE brutal than Prowl's guts being melted out of his face. I remember watching in the theater when Ironhide grabs Megatron's foot. Megatron fires and they cut away to the outside view of the shuttle but you see the beam blasting out the bottom of the ship. I thought it was super awesome, that it showed you exactly why the Cons follow Megatron. He scares the Ballz off all of them!!
@@torreylong7436 Megatron pulled no punches in this movie. I remember being shocked when he blasted Ironhide in the face. I also always hated that they just killed Wheel Jack off screen like that. Like he was just a nobody.
The soundtrack with stan bush 🔥
As a 80s kid, I was obsessed with this movie
I was still a baby when this movie came out. But when I was a kid in the 90s Transformers Gen 2 got me introduced to the franchise. But it was Beast Wars and Transformers Armada that got me hooked!
"Put it as my #1 animated film"
Welcome to the family.
And for the showing appreciation and respect for 1986 Transformers the movie you get a sub and like from me...Excellent review and reaction to an animated film that will forever stand the test of time along with being one of the best rock and synth animated operas since The Original Heavy Metal.
I was eight years old when this came out. Always been 1 of my favorite movies even after all these years.
This came out when I was ten years old. I watched it in theaters with my school buddies back then. This film really stuck with me.
I have to say I am a FAN! I was in Texas in the military for AIT, (Advanced Infantry Training for the Army. I was amazed that it was playing in the base theater and it was filled with other Transformer Fans. At the risk of sounding soft many of us were MAD when Optimus died. Loved seeing Percepter, the microscope. Blaster with his own cadre of cassettes and always good to see Grimlock and the other Dinobots. Had mixed feelings about Hot Rod becoming Rodimus Prime. Always an Optimus Fanboy, I'm 58 now.
Also…. The movie came out after 2 seasons of the cartoon series. They also did an Animated GI Joe which came after a few seasons. Same animation company. Same voice actors. Marvel did both comic book series too, which were totally different takes than what the cartoons were
The reason why the film looks like an anime is because the studio that animated it for Sunbow & Marvel was Toei Animation, the same Toei that brought us Sailor Moon, Digimon, One Piece, and all that is Dragon Ball.
And watch an old Micro Machines commercial. The Micro Machines announcer voices Blurr.
5:58 + one perspective to understand from this scene was the fact that all of those Autobots who were slaughtered, were in the cartoon. In the cartoon they never died. As a kid... You may understand the stakes changed along with any sort of tradition or assumptions you may have had. It opened up a new paradigm. In other words, "the shit just got real."
This film is a legendary animated film that was ground breaking at the time in the West.
Megatron is the only 80's cartoon villain that got to kill his nemesis. This film is where cartoon animated stories in the West changed.
Yo, y’all are actually reacting to the 1986G1 movie let’s go I am so for it. Absolutely love all of y’all transformer reactions absolutely phenomenal. I can’t wait to see this one. I’m so excited.
I saw this at the theater when it came out. There was only like 10 people in the theater. And this was the old theaters back in the day....HUGE. Tall ceilings, huge 6 seat rows on each side, a 10 or 12 seat center section. Amd when the movie started....they turned the lights down and it got PITCH BLACK except for the tiny orange lights in the floor for the aisles. I loved it.
I was 12 when this came out in the movies. Optimus Primes death put a scar on my generation. It still hurts seeing this. Can you imagine seeing that at 12? Still love this movie.
G1 Megatron is the forever GOAT due to him being the cause for a forever ban on any future toy robots that transform into a firearm and the reason why G1 Megatron is such a hot valued priced ticket $$$ in collectibles just like the Boba Fett with the rocket firing backpack but with G1 Megatron it's due to the Taboo factor
43yrs old. Saw it during the summer of ‘86 when it first came out. To this day still one of my favourite (if not all time favourite) animated movies. And the soundtrack is just killer. Still holds up.
This is possibly the best transformers movie ever. It’s got the great 80’s music, cheesy one liners, great story. I remember watching this when it came out and honestly think I did cry when prime died. This movie was released in during the tv series. From what I remember reading prime was not supposed to be revived in the tv show. But they changed their minds after so many people complained about his death.
The one thing I do like about the new movies is that they got Peter Cullen on board to voice prime.
It's fascinating how important they've made Bumblebee. He was always a kid appeal character and the one closest to Spike Witwicky, but Optimus Prime is the hero, the Captain Kirk, the first name on the marquee.
Yeah they kind of gave bee hotrods story as the inexperienced junior having to learn to take authority and lead the autobots
It’s not even like bee was second in command he was a scout iron hide was shown to be the back up (a prime problem demonstrating this the best)
@@jmurray1110 YES, they made Bee Hot Rod. But cutesy.
I saw that movie in the movie theater as a kid in 1986 and then they did a release in 2021 and a Theatres and I saw it again by far still the best transformers movie ever none of them compare to this one
My 3 favorite moments were Unicron transforming and Galvatron destroying the hell out of Starscream and as Fireworks mentioned Spike cussing in a PG movie! Also trying to figure out how the Constructicons were able to form Devastator inside Astrotrain that was smart of Rumble and Frenzy to shake them apart( inside Astrotrain that had to be rough on his interior) Soundwaves tapes weren't backing down lol
Them cassettes want all the smoke.
The movie wasn't initially PG while in the theaters, that little cuss gave them a PG-13 rating, which was done on purpose so the movie wouldn't be resigned to just matinee screenings (typical for childrens movies at the time) and could be seen by a wider range of audience. It didn't work, the movie still flopped in the theaters, and the cuss was removed for the VHS release of the movie bringing the rating back down to a PG. It's only been relatively recently restored in DVD and Blue-ray copies.
@@lowkee1205 Yeah my friends at the time didn't believe me when I said they swore. I saw it in the theater and they didn't.
I saw it in theater opening night in 1986. I was six years old. I will never forget Iron Hides death.
I was born in 81, I grew up with the OG cartoon and this movie. I can quote this while thing
Better than all the Bay films. Saw this in the theaters when it 1st released when I was 7 years old. In my top 10 favorite animated movies. It took place between the 2nd & 3rd season of the IG show. Epic is how I would describe it. I watch it at least once a year.
I was 5 years old in 1986 and this was the first movie I ever saw in a theatre and watching Optimus die was the most painful experience of my childhood
If you are interested in seeing more Optimus Prime from the 80s, you should check out the original television series two years before the movie. Plenty of Prime content there, and you get to see all the characters in their original form.
Awesomest Heavy Metal somg ever!!!!! "Instruments of destruction" by NRG Megatron attasks Autobot Ark
The original comic book was put out by marvel and lasted 80 issues, but started as a 4 issue mini-series
Awesome review. Thanks for showing the respect and reverence for the OG TF film.
I really don't like seeing Optimus die in any incarnation. He's my #1 favorite Autobot/Transformer, but damn if he didn't have a really great final fight against Megatron.
Btw.... there's a Transformers movie that was released that nicely concluded the series Transformers Prime titled Predacons Rising. recommend that and the series.
I was 7, my cousins and I got checked out of school and watched this in the theater. You talk about first time learning about death seeing Optimus (a long time hero of ours) just die.
What toy makers thought was a good way to bring in a new toy line was a traumatic event for children; to the point of mother’s calling and complaining how could you show this to a child.
So much so that the ending to the G I Joe animated movie following this film was significantly changed in hopes to avoid the same backlash.
I remember the reactions made the news how kids were just destroyed.
Still love this movie.
Thank you so much for this I was a young boy in 86 and y'all are showing the same emotions that I had in 1986 thank you so much for what you just did
As I recall, The Transformers started with the Autobots trying to leave Cybertron on a giant ship called the Ark due to an energon shortage and losing the war to the Decepticons. Megatron’s forces raided the Ark and the battle caused the Ark to crash on Earth and “kill” everyone. Then millions of years later, a volcano awoke the Ark’s computer Teletraan I, which scanned the area and then proceeded to rebuild all of the Transformers on the Ark in the forms of tech it found out around it, mainly vehicles.
The cartoon was pretty standard as cartoons go, an new source of region is found, evil loses, good triumphs, no one ever dies. Then this movie came to replace the gen 1 Transformers with the next, and so most of the gen 1 Transformers died, pretty easily and without much fanfare (except for Optimus Prime).
The death of Optimus caused such a fuss with fans that in the gen 2 cartoons they resurrected him.
you guys should watch the entire G1 cartton both before and after the movie. it was a great series
when i saw the first beast trailer, the pink transformer looked really familiar... now they revealed omnicrom or whatever the planet thing is called. This 1980s movie was all i watched for the longest time AAND, the soundtrack slaps. That transformers theme tune is just amazing
This was a 🔥🔥 movie for it to be animated and in the 80s I just hope they include more of the autobots from the original more in live action like seeing Blur, or rodimus prime and Ultra Magnus would be 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember taking my little brother to this and watching Optimus Prime die was the first time i watched him cry. To this day, i think it (more or less) holds up well. The junk planet kinda throws a lot of questions into stuff, but it didn't derail the film too much.
It's a shame that the show fell apart right after this in s3, cuz Hot Rod becoming Rodimus Prime i thought really worked in the film. As a Decepticon kid, i got to see starscream finally win for like 5 minutes... and Megatron becoming a slave was always a head trip to me due to his unshakeable pride throughout the original show
Cool I saw this as a kid in the theater. Its known for its soundtrack and that it killed Optimus Prime. The studio got hit with TONS of pissed parents that it upset their kids so much he died. So the still going cartoon show brought him back to life half a year later. Plus Hasbro was shocked that kids were so pissed so many Generation One Autobots died. Hasbro thought it was just killing off old characters to make new ones to get new toys out.
Even when he was about to die Orson Wells does villainy well.
I saw this in theaters as a kid. We all cried and cheered.
Next you guys should do this movie counterpart, "G.I. Joe, the Movie ". It's sweet too!
I saw this in theaters when I was just 6 years old. At the time for me it was the greatest film of all time.
Saw this in the theater and I (STILL HAVE) this on VHS and I have the soundtrack on CD ... great movie
to get the real feeling for this movie the tv series gives you the backstory and attachment of this movie since it comes after 2 full seasons
I was two years old when The Transformers: The Movie was released in 1986. During the movie, I both cried and cheered.
This was essentially a episode of the original cartoon, so the events carried over to the show. Unicron's head becomes Cybertron's new moon and Unicron is still alive just no a threat. Galvatron of course returned but he suffered brain damage and went crazy. As for television release the last season of the original got it's budget slashed! They ended up going from a 13 episode order to just 5, then to just 4 kids shows in the 80's where expected to have seasons with either 13-26 episodes or 65 Episodes. To pad out the dismal run of 4 for season 4 the movie was cut into 5 episodes of the series.
Hasbro had no clue how important Optimus Prime was to kids at the time, but for a lot of kids it was traumatizing to see a hero, even a robot, die. The cancelled plans to release he 86 G.I.Joe the movie to theaters, ot got the a VHS release then the 5 episode cut treatment, and recorded extra lines because it too was going to kill off he good guys leader, animation was already done but the added lines to have him go into a coma instead and recover by the end.
It also resulted in Optimus being brought back to life in the show, and Prime has treated death like a revolving door since. Dieing and coming back over and over.
The traumatic effect of Optimus Prime's death is the reason they inserted a line about the GI leader going into a coma - NOT dying - in the following G.I. Joe movie.
BEST MOVIE EVER MADE! 🔥
05:46 Glad you are "sold" on this movie. It is one of my all time favorite movies. Laserbeak, you can hear the name mentioned in the first live action Transformers movie. He was a little spy robot in that, about insect sized, and did not make it long. 06:30 it seems that all transformers can fly to some extent, but the Decepticons, with the exception of a few, were full on jets and actual air power. 06:45 The sound track is the GOAT. :) 07:50. Well, not exactly whatever, but there is a variety of things these transformers turn into. The point is, if a car, plane, microscope/telescope/gun, cassette player they were "more than meets the eye". It was a way of stealth against each other and to hide from the humans of Earth at times. 09:09 as a kid when Blaster ejected all those cassettes that was amazing because up till then that was not a thing till then! (yah more toys!!) 09:30 was a renouned fast talker of the time. Did the micro machine commercials among other things. 34:19 as a kid we kinda knew this was happening before we saw it in theaters. Especially with commercials talking "soon there will be a new leader... RODIMUS PRIME". Kinda a spoiler. :P 16:49 yep, couldn't do that on regular broadcast television. In a kids cartoon at least. 27:30 yeh in the Transformers marvel comic series that takes place after this movie Rodimus would come to regret throwing Galvatron into space as he did not know where he went. Actually gave Rodimus some anxiety. 28:30. I love that last death wheeze. 30:15 It was amazing as a kid. And it holds up well because the characters are enjoyable and the story is intense but really great. A real hero's journey for Hot Rod and Rodimus. 32:00 The fade to black... interesting.
You have no idea how bad Optimus' death scarred us 80s and 90s kids. I cried more at that then Bambi.
I watched the hell of my cousin's husband's VHS copy of this movie, it's so much fun.
I was in kindergarten when this came out and saw this in the theater it was SO cool!
This movie will ALWAYS be my number 1. OP is OP and Peter Cullen brings him to life! All-Star cast... And Leonard Nemoy! Woot!
Still know this word for word.
No transformers movie is even close to this. Soundtrack everything
I was 11. Went to see it when it came out. It... left a lasting impression.
I saw this in a theater when I was 11! On the way back through the mall I stopped at a record store and my aunt bought me the soundtrack album on vinyl!
Not only is Unicron in this movie, this movie is the first appearance of Unicron, anywhere!
the guy that voiced blur was the same guy thatdid the old micromacine commercials. who was considered to be the fastest talker in the world
You should watch the animated GI Joe the movie too. It was pretty awesome!
The writing was done in USA. But most of the animation was done in Japan by Toei Animation. The same company that does Dragon Ball.
6yr old me tricked my grandpa into taking me to see this in the theater back in the day...he went to sleep within 5min of it starting 😂😂😂
Now you guys gotta watch the G.I.Joe animated movie!! That intro will get you bleeding Red White and Blue! One of the best movie intros ever.
"You could've shot him, you want to give a speech all of the time...... Optimus!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So apparantly many parent's were livid due to how traumatized their kids were over Optimus dying in this movie
That and for a 80s cartoon movie it was way over the top violent/had cuss words/blamed rock and roll/ killed off most the old characters
This was the darkest Transformers movie ever made.
A lot characters died in this movie, but thankfully came back for the 4th and Final season of the series.
No only season 4
This was one of the most traumatic films for us 80s kids, because for many of us, it not only was the first time we'd ever seen cartoon characters die, but they also killed off every character we loved (all to sell a new line of toys). The studio was bombarded with hate mail and protests, because you had thousands of kids across the country traumatized. It got so bad that they actually forced the studio to bring Optimus Prime back, in order to quell the anger.
Great reaction. You should definitely get her to watch the 'Arcane' series. In my honest opinion, it's the best animated series I've ever seen. I have no doubt that she'll love it after just the first episode.
it also changed the outcome of the GI Joe movie that was about to be released, changing Duke's death to a coma
I think you're forgetting about Robotech, one of the main character in Robotech gets killed, Roy Focker, even long before that Disney film Bambi. Robotech is the first animated series that I know of that had an inter-racial relationship, Roy Focker and is a relationship with the bridge officer Claudia Grant, and that was a year before Transformers the Movie.
Though I am disappointed with the editing that Harmony Gold did to make Robotech, which was originally 3 completely unrated anime that they edited together into one, at least they didn't censor the death. Roy Focker wasn't the only person to die in the series, just the only main character, you see other die constantly in the background in battle, I remember a scene where the Zentraedi are attacking the SDF-1 and you see an explosion and you see some guy's head fly off in the background.
@@D2SProductions Ben Dixon is also killed a good few episodes on from Roy Focker - plus the whole bridge crew in the last episode.
@@D2SProductions I was only 4 when Transformers came out, so I didn't even know Robotech existed. I'll have to add that show and the film to my watchlist.
@@D2SProductions thats a show ive been meaning to watch, thanks for the reminder.
6:44 I loved this album. It was a favorite as a kid and still is now.
My DUDE!!!! you need to read up on he history of Transformers, how they came about & what they can do. Megatron in this movie could transform into a "P-38" (German) gun
Back in the day, the movie was canon to three versions of G1 Transformers: the G1 cartoon, the Marvel UK comics and the Ladybird Books.
If they didn't kill Cliffjumper in the Bumblebee movie, it could also be linked to this. They'd had a timeline of 18 years to explain the future tech in this version of 2005.
It would be nice to be able to canonically link this to Bee and ROTB.
"Such heroic nonsense."
9 year old me was absolutely dumbfounded in the theater.
Offline watch the whole animated series and you will get the whole story. It's broken up into different times
Transformers, armada, cybertron, beast wars and beast machines. Also transformers prime. Enjoyed your reactions
This is by far better than those newer trash movies.
