Fun Fact: When asked about his role, Orson Welles couldn't remember his character's name, and described his role as "a big toy who attacks a bunch of smaller toys".
Later on with more writing that giant toy would become "literal robot Satan, the concept of evil itself who will continue to exist as long as war, hate, and violence exist". Simultaneously a great final role for a man who changed cinema, but cruely ironic that it was a feature length toy commercial...
@@Baldwin-iv445 Yes and it absolutely broke my heart, I rewatched their commentary dozens of times and then one day it disappeared. I now have the video downloaded just in case something happens to it again 😭
Fun fact, every autobot and decepticon that died during this movie weren't just some generics, these where characters in the original show and toyline, beloved by children. Of course that didn't stop hasbro from killing them because their toys where off the shelves and replaced with the new characters introduced in the movie. Some characters like wheeljack, the autobots resident science man, creator of the dinobots and prominent character didn't even get a death scene, just a corpse shown for a frame and that's it.
@@TheRogueCommand It was actually due to his figure never officially being released, just as a mail offer to promote the movie. At least he didn't suffer the same fate as Skyfire, of never appearing again in the show due to copyright issues (That's why he's later called Jetfire)
@@TheRogueCommand Apparently I was misremembering, he was called Jetfire originally, then on the cartoon for "legal reasons" (which at least the wiki isn't 100% sure about) he was changed to Skyfire. Then his toy model, from a Macross toy, had to be changed as well. Supposedly they were planning on reintroducing him but it never happened in the original cartoon
Alan's reaction may have been the best part about all of this. Him getting to geek out like a little kid again at discovering something he thought was basically a meme
The original Transformers series is goofy 80s campiness at its finest. Most of it is stupid and dumb and a toy commercial but after a while you just can’t help but love it. There’s so much clear love and soul that goes into it that you just don’t see with other advertisement properties, and that continues with Transformers shows even today.
Really dig how the VHS filter you put over the video is not only non-intrusive but also fits well aesthetically for the film. Lets hope it will be able to survive this time.
I am so glad you guys re-uploaded this reaction. It is hands down my favorite of your guys' videos so far & I honestly would hope I can go back & watch this anytime I need it, whether i'm feeling down or just looking to feel that twinge of nostalgia in my heart for years to come... Till all are one!!
I thought i was going nuts cause I could have sworn they already uploaded this but it turned out to be a reupload lol^^ I’m really happy they did that since it’s really good
17:35 the movie takes place directly in between season 2 and 3 of generation one Transformers, and was used as a means to kill off the previous toy line and introduce the new season 3 characters
This RAZZLE reaction is just pure gold. I watched this film for the very first time earlier this year with my bestie and it’s by far one of the coolest things ever. The smooth animation, fantastic soundtrack, exceptional voice acting (Orson Welles included, for his understated yet chilling final performance as Unicron), and the film’s willingness to go into dark places all make it something that gives the live action features a run for their money. I honestly wish we’d get more Transformers films like this, as it shows that an animated film can be both for kids and adults when it straddles the line of light and dark so well. ☺️
Yeah, unfortunately the reason mattel had them kill off/transform a bunch of characters was because they wanted to introduce a new transformers toy line, and the shock actually traumatized a lot of kids a bit, that's why they eventually brought back Optimus himself, and why we've never gotten a kids cartoon series movie spinoff as dark as mature this since. Like imagine an Adventure Time movie where Finn straight up dies and the Ice King becomes a Fire King lol.
This probably my favorite movie of all time my dad had it recorded on a VHS and i watched it all the time when i was younger so much so that i started wearing out the tape.
14:23 The song that is playing in the scene where they are trying to figure out what they are singing. The song is actually "Dare To Be Stupid" by "Weird" Al
i miss this old version of razzle videos and i hope you guys do more with it, the still pictures are hilarious and you guys are more expressive with your voices
Your gushing and fawning not only over my favorite movie of all time, but my favorite genre from my childhood and all its aspects, have earned you a new subscriber! Keep up the awesome work! :D
I love this commentary so much, it made me watch the Neil James version immediately after when it first premiered. I want to watch this commentary on a Beats Pill. You don't know how happy I am to see this video re-uploaded after such a long time of absence.
4:38 Lazerbeak turned into an AUDIO CASSETE and Soundwave turns into a walkman, his Autobot counterpart who we will see in a bit turns into a old 80s boombox stereo
I've seen a lot of reactions to this movie, less than I'd like to see though and I always want people to sit and savour the cheese like it pairs with a fine wine. You guys brought the latent 6 year old sugar high energy I needed to see from people appreciating this film. Thanks!
I’m so happy to see that this commentary finally got re uploaded. This was another really funny commentary, it’s always refreshing to see you guys commentating on a movie that you end up genuinely liking. This one felt like all the jokes were so funny, I was laughing through out the whole thing. And all the returning and running jokes in this one were really funny too. And again, I just really liked the way you guys seemed to really enjoy this movie. Also, for one of your next commentaries I think you guys should do Flushed Away
this is my all time favorite movie, first watched it when i was a kid around 15 years ago and it formed one of the biggest ways me and my dad can bond since he loved the og transformers show. very glad to see you all reacting to it and having a blast with this absolute gem of a movie.
As a girl who doesn’t know shit about transformers, I can’t even explain what I would give to have been an older sibling in the theater when all of them died
This actually made me so happy. I grew up with this movie and transformers is my #1 Fandom. And seeing these boys get so hyped the WHOLE time was amazing. Like everyone always rips so hard in transformers cause of what Bay did to the universe. So thank you Razzle ❤️
Weird Al's song was playing while the Autobots were fighting the Junk robots. About 30 years after this movie, Weird Al did the voice for the junk robot dude with the nips in the animated series.
As a classic and modern transformers fan, this is hilarious to watch you guys discover so much. "HE TURNS INTO A GUN?!" sent me OVER THE MOON. Request more transformers content.
As a transformers fanatic watching yall go ape shit for this movie brings back that childhood excitement and wonder I felt watching this movie as a child
"There's a sexy Transformer?" Meet Arcee, boys. I first knew her through Transformers Prime. She was blue there, and had a spicy snark and a voice smooth like fucking butter, and I have never been jealous of a human character in the franchise until Jack Darby.

No one tell Razzle how the Transformers franchise came to be
Yeah, I was gonna say
“Turn that shit up”, is the correct response to hearing that song😂😂
It sure is!
I love how the guys are just hyped, no bits or dumb jokes.
Just genuinely happy to be watching a dope movie.
.....it was nothing but dumb jokes the entire time though.
@@atraxisdarkstar Yeah, but at least they aren't making fun of the movie. I think that was @DiegoAlverezBeltran1993's point

Hearing all of them simultaneously scream in joy when Hot Rod unlocked the Matrix was so hilarious.
As a huge transformers geek, hearing you guys lose your mind throughout this commentary was so satisfying
same, especially since none of my friends are as into it as I am
@israelwoodard770 yes!
Same
Same!!!!
SAME
Thank you NeilJames1982, for providing us with such a great cultural piece of art
Can't believe they took down Razzle's video but left his upload of the entire film untouched.

This is amazing timing considering Peter Cullen just achieved the lifetime achievement award.
This is a reupload. They meant to do this.

Didn't even know there was one until you mentioned it
I learned my lesson and downloaded the vid this time, not letting this absolute treasure of a commentary disappear from the Internet again 😭
Yes i was so sad when it got taken down
The day that vid came out I subbed to em, also the same day I found em too
*YOU GOT THE TOUCH*
*YOU GOT THE POWER!*
This movie just reminds you of how great the Transformers used to be.
They still are great
Honestly, it’s been going back to its roots. It’s back and it’s great!
Used to be?
I could feel their energy when they saw Hot Rod get the Matrix.
I had the exact same energy when I saw that scene for the first time.
4:02 Jazz was voiced by the legendary Scatman Crothers, and the "dude" in the white powersuit is Spike WITWICKY
The way Ryan's third eye just OPENS in this 😂
I love how Ryan reverts back to a 6 year old watching this. Glad this video is back!
The Transformers: The Movie is so radical and I love when people see it for the first time. It reminds me of how excited I was when I saw it as a kid.
Watching it again, just because of the sheer hype of the boys every time "The Touch" starts playing.
AND FOR GOOD REASON
I am so glad you guys re-uploaded this reaction. It is hands down my favorite of your guys' videos so far & I honestly would hope I can go back & watch this anytime I need it, whether i'm feeling down or just looking to feel that twinge of nostalgia in my heart for years to come...

The effect The Transformers the Movie has on people is massive. I absolutely love this movie ans its awesome they did too
jokes aside, the animation for this movie was stellar for the time
I honestly believe this is one of the best animated movies ever made. 10/10 YOU GOT THE TOUCH
It’s back!! And Ryan’s excitement over the movie is still adorable😂
I unironically love this movie, I own the coronation star scream figure and now I need the hot rod figure. I am 20 years old as of two weeks ago today
Fun fact: the reason they killed Starscream is because the studio was sick of paying bail to get his VA out of jail from starting barfights.
This probably my favorite movie of all time my dad had it recorded on a VHS and i watched it all the time when i was younger so much so that i started wearing out the tape.
I want Ryan's energy in this video bumped into my fucking veins-
Real
I wanna smoke his energy
Welcoming this Thing Of Beauty back to YT. Ryan losing his shit over how awesome Real Transformers Stuff is, is always a joy to watch.
fun fact: This was Orson Welles's final performance before he passed away
Oh fun fact I see
Perfect timing when Peter cullen (Optimus prime) won an Lifetime Achievement Emmy Award

So glad to see razzle watching my all time favorite childhood movie and loving it
The touch is still the most heroic music that doesn’t need to go so damn hard
4:07- "Where's Shia Labeouf?" I think he was somewhere around a month and a 1/2 old when this movie came out? 🤣
This movie’s animation has no right to age this well

I'm happy they enjoyed this movie! Also, I get to watch this for the first time since I missed it back in June
Watching you guys react to this movie is the best thing to happen all week. I got a little teary eyed whenever you guys got hyped at The Touch.
