I guess the people making the movie knew the kids cared so much about prime, because it’s kind of insane how emotional and deep they make this death scene of a robot that turns into a car, when behind the scenes the whole idea was just to introduce new toys. I never even played with transformers or watched any of it but this scene is still intense

I have used Unicron's line several times in real life. nobody ever recognizes it. i feel awesome whenever i find an excuse to say it

I wish I was a salesman and could use this line. Despite it being just a paycheck to Orson, he really gave each line weight.
There's an old interview of Tomino (Gundam guy) in the 90's were he basically talks about how he couldn't fricking stand the 'well it's just a kid's toy commercial' attitude that was prevalent in the 70's and how those people were a blight on animation.
Step one in making one of these cartoons great is caring about what you're making and believing kids aren't too dumb to get it.
>This movie is what elevated Transformers above all the other commercial toy shows.
G.I. Joe The Movie would be its equal if they didn't have Duke fall into a coma instead of dying as a result of the TF backlash over Optimus dying while I would have loved to see this in the theater....

While it's disappointing that He-Man never got a feature film on the same level of quality as TF and GIJ as He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword was disappointing and only came out a year before TFTM and looks cheap as frick...
G.I.Joe always felt like a show that was afraid of its own premise (unlike the comics.) The Joes were doing glowie and espionage work more often than they acted like special forces.
Boomers, for all of their problems, actually cared about and enjoyed their jobs and liked creating something worth presenting to others.
Gen X had some of that spark, but millennials are completely bereft of any merit.
>>do not grieve, soon, I will be one, with the matrix >all this to sell new toys, this is fricked
OP, I was 8 when I saw this movie in theaters and it was mindblowing for a number of reasons.
Just the opening scene with Unicron ripping apart a planet was something we had never seen before in animation with such scale and detail and not surpassed until AKIRA....

While you have to compare the massive jump in quality from the TV series whose animation was adequate for the time.
Then of course slaughtering half of the characters and having Optimus die was shocking because we had grown to love them and seeing them brutally killed was something we had also never seen before.
And I'm not to proud to admit that I cried when Optimus died while the combination of Peter Cullen's voice and the music still makes me tear up.
It's amazing that a 90 minute toy commercial has more heart and soul than any of the fricking trash live action movies while if you were to tell me walking out of the theater in 1986 that 38 years later there would be several live action Transformers movies and they were all fricking awful I would have thought you were crazy!
But here we are.
This is why I'm enraged at this fricking terrible looking Transformers One piece of shit. The first big budget animated TF movie since 86 and they turned it into a fricking Pixar/MCU quip fest!
?si=AuIoG-ZsJzfEeG0V
And anyone who says "Transformers was always for children and funny" is a contrarian wienersucker as, yes, there were moments of humor and levity in the original show and even in the movie but those were first and foremost ACTION/ADVENTURE, not comedy, which this piece of shit is being sold as.
Just give me a 3D CGI animated remake of the 86 movie with its original voice work and ost and I'll be happy...
Gundam mogged the frick out of Star Wars, which it is a literal rip-off of, and Transformers together. How the frick did Tomino do it bros? Gundam even generated a mostly female fanbase and Tomino couldn't understand it, just mad how much it mogged everyone.
Am I the only one who sees this movie as an AO-rated action-horror snuff film with robots?
I like it but if they would've made the exactly same movie but change the robots to humans, the script would've been launched into to the sun and whole production team would've been sent to a mental asylum.
Made men out of us

We were the last generation of men. Soon we will all be one with the Matrix.

I've used this line throughout my life.
>a cursory evaluation of Decepticon capability indicates a distinct tactical deficiency!
I used to think I was the shit saying this when I was kid.
>If you're gonna ride, Danno, ride in style!
This movie is what elevated Transformers above all the other commercial toy shows.

Tomino has given a lot of great interviews
It was already a cut above the average cartoon, its why scenes like this resonated so much with the kids back then.

Beast Wars was the only thing that got close to this.
Boomers, for all of their problems, actually cared about and enjoyed their jobs and liked creating something worth presenting to others.

You can tell Leonard Nimoy had fun as Galvatron.
And they still brought him back
Still the GOAT to this day.
I can't count the number if times I've rewatched Optimus's entrance and fight against Megatron when bored.
This was peak kino.

0080 was kino, but the original 79 was like if someone took LoTGH and made the Galactic Empire a bunch of inbred morons.
