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...
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 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Love how wide your eyes got when Unicorn transformed. Such an epic moment
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
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.
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.
Was 6 when I saw this in theaters. First time I cried at a movie.
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.
"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.
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.
If you were born in the mid to late 70’s to early 80’s this shit was the bomb. Great memories
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!
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.
I was two years old when The Transformers: The Movie was released in 1986. During the movie, I both cried and cheered.
I remember being so shocked at the beginning when Megatron and Starscream killed Ironhide and Ratchet, it blew my mind
"You could've shot him, you want to give a speech all of the time...... Optimus!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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
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.
This was my childhood movie - I watched it multiple times and it never grew old
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.
You have no idea how bad Optimus' death scarred us 80s and 90s kids. I cried more at that then Bambi.
Optimus' Death was So Sad and Emotional! Most Kids were Crying at that Part!
Man, you gotta understand... All those Autobots on the shuttle at the beginning... were the O.G. Transformers we all got to see in the show each week. We spent a decent amount of time getting to know all of them only for this movie to come and give them all the axe and kill them off immediately. All because some executives felt it'd be better to move on from them so they could introduce new characters and sell more toys.
They did Wheeljack dirty 😭
@@ronniekrayz3837for real!
It is kinda interesting seeing someones reaction to this movie I was 9 and my best frinds mom took us. We had seen 2 years of transformer with those characters and seeing them all killed like that was like seeing them kill all the character you grew up with over 10 min. This movie changed how animated movies are done none will ever be as harsh as this movie gets. Some kids were in total greaving after this for month.
for a lot of kids like me growing up in the 80s, optimus prime wasn't just a cartoon character or a toy. he was a role model, a icon and a father figure. i wouldn't watch this movie again until i was in my 20s. that how hard his death hit me.
I was 9 years old when I saw this film and it broke my spirit for months 😭
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
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
Best animated movie ever. I have purchased every release since I was a kid. Saved my money and recycled cans as a kid to buy this from my local video rental store (VHS). Movie wasn't even for sale, but the owner knew I love it. As I have rented it 4 times and he sold it it to me for an awesome $10 then. Took it to school to showed in class and everyone wanted a VHS copy or to borrow it for a day. I then found and purchased a hard VHS cover for it and cut the box up to put on the hard cover. All this as I was about 10 year old. Now as a 40 year old man. I have the 4k steelbook version. Showed it to my son and he loves it too.
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.
I’m 43 years old and Transformers back in the mid 80’s was the gold standard for cartoon/animation in my opinion!
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.
I love that you two took time to watch this. It was amazing 80s movie. This movie was first movie where toy manufactures realized the power of good story and toy. They were trying to setup for new line and killing off old, but didn't realized when they killed Optimus how devastated children would be. I remember my father taking me to see this and even he was upset with it. The cartoons of the 80s taught boys and girls moral lessons. Why Optimus was so impactful is he showed boy how to be a good person. Take care of others, honor, honesty, compassion, sacrifice, etc. Just look at when both Optimus and Megatron fell. Optimus's people were upset, grieving and in tears. Megatron's people could care less about his and even Starscream kicking him when he was down. Also cast was so diverse too..Blaster voice was jamican if I am not mistaken, Jazz was always blues music loving and he was Prime's number one lieutenant. Arceee was included because girls also loved Transformers and lore also holds that there were female Transformers. Aleta One is Prime's girlfriend and Arcee was one of her troops to look after Prime and other Autobots as she was left to guard Cybertron.
Optimus Prime was, is, and will always be my hero... so long as you ignore the Bayformers.
hardly anybody's reacted to this. great reaction you two! this is a must-see for the real transformers fans.
Going to see Rise of the Beasts today. I’ve also been a huge Transformers fan since 1984.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. If no one has said it yet it takes place between season two and season three of the original cartoon.
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.
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.
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!
My favorite movie. I have watched this movie so many times. Still cry seeing Prime and the autobots die. This movie had an awesome music soundtrack.
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
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
Thanks for the reaction to this, not many people have done this movie. When Optimus has his gun pointed at Megatron, this isn't the same Optimus as it is in the Bay films. This Prime respects all life regardless of their faction. Him pausing instead of shooting Megatron was Optimus weighing up his options. He didn't want to kill Megatron but Megatron was forcing his hand. Primes honor caused his death, not Hotrod (not gonna lie, this is the first time I have EVER said that). I have seen this film so many times that I know every line, audio cue and scene. When I was a kid I watched this daily for years, always hoping the outcome of Primes fight would be different
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 UA-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. ua-cam.com/video/XA6GAEoL6RQ/v-deo.html Glad you guys got to experience the true original!
The music and art style was just phenomenal to see again.
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! 😎✌️🧨🎆🎇🌼🏆🔥
The fact that y'all are not blown away by the voices of Leonard Nimoy or Orsen Wells, or think that this is the prequel to the Bay franchise. Is amazing, funny, and sad all at the same time. The 80"s Bumble Bee was not like the Bay version. He was more trouble then helpful. For those thinking he was Camaro in the 80's, he was a Volkswagen bug. Glad you were able to experience what we loved growing up in the 80's
I remember when I was 9 years old in 1986 my uncle took me to see this movie it didn't disappoint honestly to truly enjoy this movie you have to see it in the movie theater the small screen doesn't do it justice
Done so a few times. I tear up at Primes death each time.
@@JnEricsonx Jon Ericson i never forgot that scene all the kids in the movie theater was shocked alot of kids started crying that was the first time I ever seen the main hero die after that i never looked at TV Shows and movies the same.
@@BKLYN_TZU Yup, I still tear up when i saw that scene in theater anniversary showings and Im a adult. Less than 8 weeks till I go to Boston to meet the man.
@@JnEricsonx Jon Ericson me too who's the man ? If you don't mind me asking
The soundtrack with stan bush 🔥
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.
I took my 3yr old brother to the movie with his new Hot Rod toy. He cried when Optimus died, but was happy when Hot Rod became Rodimus Prime new autobot leader.
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.
6 years old and I remember seeing this in the theater being blown away from it.
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.
It’s all they had back then, the CGI back in 1986 was still primitive so hand drawings was the only way to get this movie out to us. Took over 2 Years to make this. Obviously you can tell that is saw this in the theaters back then and absolutely loved it. When 2007 came out and we got the CGI Transformer movie I wasn’t impressed. They had so many moving parts when they transformed I just laughed…It makes me very happy when people discover the 1986 Transformers The Movie! Thank you for making this video!
Prime killing The Fallen "Give me your face!"... yeah those films were terrible. They completely missed the point of all the characters. Prime would never feel glory in the death of others even if they were psychotic Decepticons. I felt so cheated when that released. I never understood the way they would remake things like this. We made the franchise with our fandom but they alienate us to grab a new audience. They could have both crowds if they just wrote it better
You could almost mistake him as a shatteredglass version
You did miss out on something truly unique. My grandad used to only let me watch it when I'd finished my work in the back garden. It was my reward for working hard for the day. I was 5 years old at the time and my grandad being a WW2 soldier used to explain the philosophy behind everything whilst watching on VHS. Nice content guys 👍.
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.
I remember going to see this in theaters. I just started bawling when Optimus Prime died. To this day, I can't even remember any more of the movie in the theater after that part.
They couldn't transform into whatever they wanted to. Each transformer only had one or two forms, but they had a cast of like 90 characters. It was awesome
Well technically there were multi changers like sixshot a sextuple changer but he wasn’t introduced until the rebirth part 1
"Put it as my #1 animated film"
Welcome to the family.
Back when this came out it was effectively a hour+ long commercial and as someone who was the prime demographic as an 8 year old at the time it worked!🤣 I ended up with several of the new Transformers introduced in this movie to go along with all the ones I already had. I remember getting Ultra Magnus for Christmas and losing my mind with excitement.
The killing off of character’s particularly Optimus was devastating to me though.
Oh and the reason Marvel was involved is they did Transformers comics back then. They even had a crossover early in their comic run with Spider-Man.
They also controlled the animation studio and made the more than meets the eye pilot plus it was their writer bob budianski who created all of there personalities (even when the stats never properly lined up E.G. the seekers)
Saw this opening day in theaters good times miss the 80s best times of my life
When I saw this in the movie theater 1986, it went silent when Optimus Prime died. Followed by tears and shock.
Back in 86 I was not able to watch it in theaters but I knew Prime died from my older brother who saw it. I was able to watch it on vhs tape months later. Inwas still unprepared for the shock of everyone dying especially Prime. Optimus was like a father figure to a lot boys back in day. Or that really cool uncle you always wanted to see. I was in a depressed mood for two straight days. I still remember it well.
Fun Fact: Blurr was voiced by John Moschitta Jr., who did the Micro Machines commercials in the 1980s. He also voiced Blurr, Punch, and Blowpipe in the Transformers TV series in the 1986-1987 seasons, and Blurr in the Transformers: Animated series from 2008-2009.
Hands down the most badass voice acting performance in history.
As a 80s kid, I was obsessed with this movie
This movie was my obsession when I was a child
Yeah this Movie was the next generation Old Yeller movie when all of the kids seen Optimus die it was deafening to the sea of Screaming Cry's and Tears for 8-10 minutes and as a 6 year old I was loudly balling like everyone
Still to this day its hard watching optimus die. Left a huge impression on me as a 11 year old back then. Love it still watch it to this day.
This is one of my favourite movies of all time. After this unicron is still alive and enlists the help of starscreams ghost and Prime gets revived
I had just turned 10 when this came out. My folks dropped me at the theater with some friends and we watched this together, our hearts broke when our favorite Transformers died, struggled, and we cheered when the Autobots won and the music blasted out and Unicron was defeated!
YOU GOT THE TOUCH.... ✊ 💪
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
I was eight years old when this came out. Always been 1 of my favorite movies even after all these years.
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.
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.
When Optimus Prime died, it was completely quiet in the movie theater. I was 14 years old at the time. Then there were tears by many.
There had been 2 seasons of the cartoon series Transformers before this movie.
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.
Lol a number of years ago (2015) I attended TFCON and John Moschitta Jr. ( blurr) was the Auctioneer for a collectibles auction that raised money for "Make a wish foundation. Very cool humble man. It was a night to remember. Also I love watching peoples reaction that go in with a open mind well done you two🤘
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.
Saw this in the theater when I was 8. Blew my mind. Bumblebee cusses. Soooo many important characters just straight up die (they were clearing the way for a new toy line up). I thought Hot Rod was the coolest thing ever. Oh, and the music slaps.
That soundtrack went absolutely hard. They did it because they could, it didn't have to slap like that...but it did.
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 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!
This was the first movie I owned on VHS. I used to watch it all the time and eventually bought the DVD version since VHS don't last. I though Hot Rod was the coolest Autobot with his blasters on his arms rather than as a gun. I eventually bought the Masterpiece Hot Rod, and he's Still my favorite Autobot.
Welcome to my entire childhood! this is my favorite animated movie EVER!!
When this was released, this WAS ACTUALLY AHEAD OF ITS TIME! Beyond the trauma most of us 80’s babies had watching our favorites die due to toy sales, this was the gold standard. Then GI Joe did something similar without killing it’s leader. To me, the Bayverse had some great moments, but played loosely with this source material. All and all, great video and awesome video throwback to a great moment in Transformers history!
As someone who grew up in the 8O's and watched this movie the first day it came out in theaters,...let me tell you it was a HUGE deal back then for us Gen-Xers. We were ALL Transformers fans bruh. Why do you think Transformers are STILL popular. Because it's creating new fans while keeping us old school ones. It was awesome watching you react to this beloved animated movie that I've watched dozens of times growing up. Now it's a classic. It actually tripped me out to realize I'm turning into an old dude because a lot of "kids" today don't even know this treasure exists. Thank you for your video. 👍
The original Transformers toyline was made up of Japanese transforming robot figures from other toylines that Hasbro either licensed or purchased from Japanese toy companies.
They then hired Bob Budiansky of Marvel to come up with a storyline and character profiles for the toys to make them more interesting to kids.
Marvel then wrote a miniseries in 1984 to accompany the toyline, and shortly after that in 1984 Hasbro licensed Sunbow to produce the original cartoon series.
So this movie had Sunbow and Marvel behind it. And the Marvel UK comics followed on from this movie to develop most of the lore surrounding Unicron and the creation of the Transformers.
If you appreciate nostalgia and Transformers themselves, it's at the top. If you watch the first 2 seasons of the G1 1984 series, you'd probably understand how iconic this movie is. I was 8 when this came out and it still hold its own spot in my heart
I waa 13 when I saw this in the theater. I watched the 2007 live action films 3 times on its opening weekend and saw it on the IMAX screen the following weekend and it still failed to get the emotional stir out of me the way the '86 film did. I still get goosebumps every time they start playing "The Touch" and Prime tears ass through the line of Decepticons. I feel fortunate that I was able to take both of my sons to a big screen showing of the '86 film on the 35th anniversary of its release so they could get even a sample of what I got to experience way back when. This film will forever be a timeless classic for me.
The reason for the fade to blacks, is that they made this movie to be able to be broken up into 22 minute episodes for the television show. Also, if you want to be surprised, check out the cast. Leonard Nimoy, Robert Stack, Eric Idle, Orson Wells, in addition to the usual cast of Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, Gregg Berger, and Casey Casum. This was also Orson Wells' last role before he died, and he is reported saying that he hated it. He felt that it was beneath him.
music back then had soul and talent and this movie was full of amazing music
