In 1986, this entire movie was about removing old toys to make room for the new toys, Hasbro had no idea they were essentially killing dad for a whole generation of kids.
Wish somebody had explained that to beforehand. It felt the director was intentionally trying to traumatize us.
@@John_Locke_108 They figured it out afterwards, which is why Duke survived in the GI Joe movie
Optimus came back in the cartoon!
On the other hand what makes the movie stand out Is the maturity and existential crisis of the film.
I still use this move as a template for what a transformers movie should be
Which is why the Michael bay life action films
We're a massive disappointment.
@@blackBrainySmurf This is true. He came back. He was the same cartoon in another interactions. I got really big into it in Beast Wars as a young kid and he was the main character.
Fun fact about Galvatron's voice: Leonard Nimoy voiced him, and he's the voice behind Sentinel Prime from Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
He was also Spock from the original Star Trek show.
@@Ironmew05 When the television series resumed, Nimoy was replaced by Frank Welker. Welker was not only the original voice of Megatron, but also provided the "Spock Screams" in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
Even better fact, Orson Welles voiced Unicron, his last voice acting role before his death.
@@StonedDragons - And Leonard Nimoy had to redo some lines for Unicron (uncredited) after Welles' passing
Looking back on it, that was a nice little way of foreshadowing Sentinel’s betrayal (plus the part where Wheelie is watching Star Trek and says this is the one where Spock goes nuts)
Saw it in theaters when I was just 4. Cried my ass off when Prime died along with every other kid in the movie theater.
If it makes you feel better (in a good way not being mean) in Japan, Optimus Prime is live and well. The owners of Transformers did not like how hasbro marvel did things.
Optimus is aka Convoy Godginrai and he joined with a human soul to become Fire Guts Godginrai or "Super Saiyan Power Master Optimus Prime"
And in Japan, Optimus was Optronix in the past, not Orion Pax.
I hope this helps, I love the Japanese canon of transformers, I literally bought the toy Fire Guts Godginrai over 20 years ago.
I feel your pain. This movie was released on my 9th birthday and I was so excited, only to have my heart ripped out with not only Prime, but Brawn, Prowl, Ratchet, Iron Hide, Windcharger and Wheeljack all confirmed dead. As an adult, I appreciate and love this movie very much. But as a boy, I was absolutely furious and wouldn't watch the third season until they brought Optimus back. To this day, I still don't know what Hasbro/Marvel was thinking. I know the idea was trying to push the Gen 3 toys, but to do it in this fashion was absolutely idiotic.
I saw it in the theater when I was 10, and still get misty eyed when Prime dies to this day.
The reason why Ironhide and Optimus Prime sounds the same, but they are both voiced the great Peter Cullen - the original Optimus Prime - Generation 1.
When he says “BUT PRIME”!!😂
Actually ratchet is in this but he was killed in the shuttle attack at the beginning
Along with IronHide, and Prowl and others
@@DescmondBell Brawn was the first one shot by Starscream and Megatron.
@@tpayne12no Yes, Brawn was shot first, then Prowl, then Ratchet and Ironhide at the same time. I think this is the only time Starscream likes Megatron: using him as a weapon!
@@chimera3hydra12only time? He used him as a gun plenty of times
Also fun fact Frank Welker the man who voices Megatron and Sound wave is the same man who voices wheelie. And he also voices Fred from Scooby Doo lol
Dr Claw from Inspector Gadget as well. Matter of fact, it's the same voice as Soundwave without the vocoder effect. (Used in TF3 Dark of the Moon)
@@artcsoh wow🤔
And Ray stanz and slimer from the real Ghostbusters.
The cartoon fills you in on what happens to Optimus and Starscream.
I wonder if it was an inside joke to have Cliffjumper do the countdown considering he was voiced by music countdown host Casey Casam.
It definitely was.
"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 it was only in 2014, 28 years after her introduction, that Hasbro finally released a toy based on this movie's design.
The other female autobots introduced included Elita One, Moonracer, Firestar, and Chromia. More were added later. Elita One being the leader of the Cybertron resistance against Shockwave created an interesting parallel with Optimus vs Megatron on Earth.
@@aircraftcarrierwo-classAlita 1 was🔥
The jerkoffs over at Hasbro thought it was a good idea to kill off Optimus Prime. You were born in the 80’s so you were around, but it caused a huge backlash that not even the adults could’ve realized. To compound that, they killed off characters that were everyday regulars all in 3 mins during the shuttle hijack. But they do bring him back, but by that time, Hasbro nailed their own coffin as the popularity of the show began to wane off.
For a time...
In its own way though, it ended up being a...not a good decision, it was a winner of the Trojan Enz Boner of the Year award, but it also cemented Transformers status as an iconic franchise. If they hadn't killed Optimus Prime, they never would've known just how big what they had in their hands was. While we all joke about the fact that we were quite traumatized by this film, it proves just how beloved Transformers really was. They did the wrong thing for the wrong reason but it still had a good outcome.
Yeah, I remember that kids left the theaters crying when Prime died..he was like a father figure for a entire generation of kids, a hero to aspire to..man that was so stupid to kill him off buttt it makes this movie unique and stand out in TF lore bc of it.
it was a good idea.. Transformers wasnt just about prime but i understand
@@KrGsMrNKusinagi0 My friend Prime was by far the most popular autobot and was at the center of the OG TF universe.
Yes, & the 1986 movie is also (informally) credited with being the movie that made it all right to show actual violence in cartoons. Remember, this came out in the same Era as things like He-Man & She-Ra. Shows where all of the violence was done off-screen, & anytime you saw a bad grunt get taken out it was all right because they were a robot & didn't actually die because you had the heads still talking as their buddy is carrying it away.
After this, you have everything we've gotten until now - including all of the anime.
Hasbro: ARE YOU READY FOR TRANSFORMERS the Movie!!
Kids: YEAH!
Hasbro: Alright, get ready to put on the big kid pants...
Kids: We can handle anything you throw at us.
Hasbro:....
Transformers was actually created by Marvel (which is why the movie is by Marvel Productions) and were part of the main Marvel comic universe which featured multiple crossovers between Transformers and Avengers, then they became part of an alternate Marvel universe, and then the rights were sold and they became an entirely separate franchise altogether.
Transformers was licensed to Marvel, they were owned by Hasbro. There was one crossover with Black suited Spider-Man during its initial run
@@jarveydavis72plus characters like Circuitnreaker and Death's Head!
@@jarveydavis72there were a few other connections beyond that (Transformers #8 taking place in The Savage Land, characters listening to music by The Dazzler on the radio m, cameos by Nick Fury, Dum Dum Dugan, and Joe “Robbie” Robertson in #3 alongside Spider-Man). The Spidey appearance in #3 was the big one, but there were others as well.
Marvel didn't own them, Hasbro hiered Marvel to create the backstory for the toys, and then gave them the comic lisence
The original Japanese owners of Transformers really dislike how US handled the story and characters.
In Japan, Optimus Prime - Convoy Godginrai is still live and well and he was never Orion Pax, in Japan he was a different autobot called Optronix and became Prime.
In Japan Optimus/ Convoy Godginrai joined with a human soul and became Fire Guts Godginrai. Or a really big Power master Optimus Prime that went "Super Saiyan" per se.
Unicron isn't dead. He has just been reduced to a head that is orbiting Cybertron. Great reaction
Thanks so much, #RembokReacts, for the reupload of this awesome movie reaction. I love your content so much because it's absolutely amazing, and I enjoy watching your reactions to different TV shows and movies.
The thing about the final fight scene between prime and megatron, is that prime was ready for megatron to try something and hot rod's interference kept prime from killing magatron cleanly.
The dude what voiced Blurr was famous among kids in the early 90s for being the “micro machines guy”
John Moschitta Jr, a famous auctioneer and the voice talent behind the Micro Machines commercials, was the high-speed voice of Blurr. He reprised the character for Transformers Animated. I don't think anyone else could talk fast enough to sell Blurr as well as Mr Moschitta.
EDIT: Also, super interesting to see someone's first contact with this movie when it seems like you had only ever known the Michael Bay/live action movies before. So you're seeing where a lot of the references in those films all came from.
She says throughout the reaction that she didn't remember much of the original cartoon, but she knew of it and that they had some of the toys. So she definitely had some exposure, but it was fleeting compared to other things for her. She still knew enough to not sound like some of the people who I've seen watch this with ONLY the live action movies as reference, but didn't remember much so it was a pretty clean slate for her as well.
There is an episode called "Scramble City" it bridges the end of season 2 to the movie. It never Aired in the U.S. so it is in Japanese , but an English over Dub can be found on UA-cam. It gives the reason the Autobots are on Cybertron's moons. I also refer to it as the original combiner wars lol
Fun fact, Unicron here is voiced by Orson Wells, who directed and stared in Citizen Kane among other things. This was also his last ever role, as he was recording his lines from his deathbed.
17:42 Thats why Soundwaves been my most favorite Decepticon
Hes so Loyal to Megatron he didn't leave him behind
I always felt that Soundwave was the closest thing Megatron had to an actual friend.
If Soundwave had won the Leadership Battle Royale, he would've told Astrotrain to turn around and go get Megatron.
@@3Rayfire True
@@cra0422 Yep
He didn't stop screamer from. Dumping him.
Just found you! This is a childhood fave. Can’t eat to see it again with you!
Good reaction!
About the Matrix apparently finding its chosen one in Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime, there are actually hints of this earlier on.
- When Optimus drops the Matrix and Hot Rod catches it, it gives off a brightly glowing aura in Hot Rod's hands.
- Also, when the Autobots first discuss Unicron after he eats Cybertron's moons, Hot Rod mentioned he "had a feeling" the Matrix could stop him.
- And finally, when Unicron orders Galvatron to destroy Hot Rod while both are in his belly, there's almost a sense of desperation in Unicron's voice, as if he also had a feeling about Hot Rod.
I'm telling you as a longtime transformers fan and I am still a teenager that the fifth movie was over three hours and it felt like it was over three hours it had very little substance that was keeping me engaged as a fan and it was mindless action it was not intricate action then there were tons of very infuriating things and does a hot-rod fan the movie's depiction of hot rod is genuinely infuriating
In regards to Orson Wells, Flint Dille, one of the folks who helped make this movie, said in the 2006 DVD commentary that it was ironic that Orson was going to play the role of a planet, and he the size of the planet (Orson was morbidly obese at this time), and Nelson Shin also said that when Orson recorded his lines, they had to enhance it electronically, because Orson was wheezing and raspy (he needed an oxygen tank, with an oxygen mask on his face at this point), and a few weeks later, Orson died from organ failures.
As for Rodimus Prime, I did not see the movie until like very late August of that year, and I saw the tv ads for the movie, where the narrator says "Will Prime die?" and the next commercial was of the new toys of the characters of this movie, and the narrator said, "Introducing Rodimus Prime, the new leader of the Autobots!", and I said to myself, "I guess Optimus does die", and the death did not bother me. Also, I feel I am in the small minority who PREFERRED Rodimus over Optimus. Optimus felt too perfect, borderline male Mary Sue, or a Gary Stu as they are sometimes called. And I LIKE how characters did die in this one......even as a kid, it drove me BONKERS seeing characters NEVER dying in the battles....silly cartoon censorship in the west.....probably why I liked animes from Japan.
Unicron, orginally, was going to have more organic innards....veins, organs, etc, inside the metal body (the early 2000's armada series did do that), and the battle of Autobot city was more epic looking....as seen in the original trailer. ua-cam.com/video/EAKMjhJXSV0/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/1c3sY1EKkTA/v-deo.html
And I prefer Unicron without the beard.
You might like 80's anime series, "Machine Robo".
I dont completely disagree, but I think what ultimately pissed off fans was the behind the scene reason for killing Prime: To sell new toys. Hot Rod’s ascension to to Rodimus/leader felt rushed and unearned. Had it been a familiar character from season 1 or 2 who succeed Prime, then I think fans might accept it.
They killed off Autobots and Decepticons to sell a new line of toys. It was a disaster. Kids across the world were upset that Optimus Prime was dead, so they had to bring him back very quickly.
I know it's a business, but I still can't believe they went that far.
One route that could've been taken, Optimus Prime being reformatted into Ultra Magnus, based on the original Japanese toy line with Power Convoy being an upgraded Battle Convoy. Plus the element of Megatron reformed into Galvatron.
Actually yes, that's 100% correct He is an enemy of Cybertron and he really does want to be the only thing that exists. Excellent deduction.
Optimus prime comes back in twice in season 3. Once as a zombie and back to full life to save the universe in the finale “The Return of Optimus Prime”
I still watch this movie all these years later. One of my favorites.
5:51 same. Soundwave is a goated character with peak design in most universes.
The autobot on the shuttle whose eyes turned orange before smoke started coming out of his mouth was Prowl, not Jazz. The first one to be shot was Brawn. The white one was Ratchet, and the red one was Ironhide.
Optimus Prime comes back on an episode called Dark Awakening, when they went to the tomb in Outer Space where they were buried..
That was the zombie Prime episode right? He was resurrected properly in the aptly named, "The Return of Optimus Prime".
Yes, Dark awakening was first then The return of Optimus prime part 1&2.
And also Starscreams ghost and Ghost in the machine when starscream comes back to life..🔥🔥🔥
Yes, Optimus Prime did return in a 3 part series. First one he was pretty much a zombie (quitizons reanimated him to lure the Autobots and fly into a star that was about go nova). The second he was rescued by a couple of humans that happened to be observing the nova. One of the humans finds some spores that makes anything that it infects them to become highly aggressive (Hate Plague). The scientist first infects transformers (because of his hatred towards them). Eventually it spreads to humans and other creatures across the galaxy. The final episode they find a quitizon that wasn't infected and repairs Optimus Prime. They had to find Galvatron to get a special metal he stole to protect Optimus Prime from the infected Rodimus Prime to recover the Matrix. They discovered how to cure the Hate Plague and everything is restored back to normal and Optimus Prime was back
When the movie originally came out, the commercials said you had to see it twice to take it all in; I did. One of the DVD/Blu ray sets (the one with the hologram cover, to be precise), had an Easter Egg documentary on the film & the reaction to it. Both Hasbro & Sunbow studios got death threats. The backlash to Optimus' Primes death was the reason Duke wasn't chilled off in the GI Joe animated flick sometime later. With Duke instead being put into his 3rd or 4th coma. I've always said that Optimus' death also marked the death of that studio, they just didn't know it at the time. Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime who was supposed to replace Optimus simply didn't take, since everyone blamed him for Primes death even more then they did Megatron. They eventually brought back Optimus, but the damage was done. Sunbow Studios closed shop not long after. I had a couple of the toys that were killed off in the film, specifically Blue Streak & Brawn. Boy was I pissed. I never counted how many Autobots & Decepticons were killed off, but I'm pretty sure I could get sloshed if I were to make a drinking game out of it.
A lot of voices were in the film (Leonard Nimoy, Robert Stack, Orson Wells, Judd Nelson, to name a few). The music was well done. I still have the Soundtracks. Say what you will about the 80s, but their (movie) music was inspiring.
This film was one of the biggest lore dumps in franchise history. The UK Marvel Comics originated the idea of Optimus carrying around a Creation Matrix that granted life to robots. Over the years the story settled as this. There was a god like entity only known as The One who stumbled upon the universe shortly after the Big Bang. Two enter and explore the universe he divided himself into two, two beings that would call themselves Primus and Unicron. Primus basically retained The One's personality and characteristics, while Unicron became twisted. Primus was eager to see what this new universe had to offer, but Unicron was disgusted by everything he saw and wanted to return to the nothingness. So he and Primus began to fight. They fought for eons. At one point Primus and Unicron shifted to the astral plane to have their battle, when they shifted back Primus tricked him, and they both materialized inside of lifeless planets where they were trapped. Primus began to rework the planet he inhabited and over time it became Cybertron. Unicron did the same thing, but rather than create a living world he created a death world.
Primus not wanting to draw Unicron's attention chose to sleep and created the First Primes to be his workers to conduct the work of exploring the Universe. Unicron in the meantime searched the Universe for Primus so he could kill him and along the way he eats everything in his path. According to the Transformers in their multiverse (the Cyberverse) Unicron(s) has eaten about a quarter of all timelines and universes.
So Primus is the Transformers god and Unicron is their Devil. The Matrix itself is a piece of Primus' Spark, his living soul. All Transformers get their Spark from Primus. All Sparks return to Primus when they die. And one day, all Cybertronians will pass away and their sparks will return to his, and all will be one.
Anyone who doesn't know. Optimus was later resurrected. A 2 part episode of the show "Return of Optimus Prime"
As someone who saw the movie as a kid when it originally came out, I love watching these reaction videos. The animation was amazing for its time and the whiplash of the usual happy-happy kids' cartoon to killing off characters was pretty crazy. Not ashamed to say that I cried when Optimus died...yes, he did come back by popular demand. P.S. Unless you want additional trauma, skip the episode "Dark Awakening"...
There was an one over feature called 'The Return of Optimus Prime'. He had been resurrectd but also corrupted by the jury on the planet Wheelie was fugitive on. They planned to use Optimus to destroy the Autobots from within as revenge for taking them out of power.
Nowadays Ironhide would say, "When are we gonna start clappin Decepti-cheeks?"
I still think killing prime for the film at least was a good decision
The whole point was to get the transformers to their darkest hour
Which meant losing prime, and having the next generation have to face the literal robot boogeyman (Unicron)
The entity of death of itself.
Also having the other characters killed off made the stakes higher, made the action more tense
And gave it a gravity that elevated it to being more than the typical 80's cheese series.
Real consequences, real stakes, out of this world performances by the original VA voice cast, and a higher quality script.
Megatron vs Prime from this film is still the standard of final confrontations seen in animated history.
*Unicron
@@johnpooky84 thanks
When Hasbro first got the Transformers they hired a writer from Marvel to come up with a backstory and character biographies. Marvel has been writing Transformers since the beginning.
The original Japanese owners and creators dislike the US origins, for example in US our Optimus Prime was a tiny autobot called Orion Pax, the original background from Japan is Optronix and he was just a chronicler and the Matrix chose him to be next Leader. So ya, I'm a fan of Japanese canon of Prime.
@@Holy_Wraith I would rather have a story about a nobody who greatness through hard work than someone who has given greatness on a silver hubcap.
@@RetroRobotRadio obviously you don't know the origins of Rodimus Prime 😆
Orion Pax was actually the transformer Gears.
Optrinix was caught up in the war and actually earned his prime status.
In this film, Hot Rod NEVER transforms the same way twice, it's always different.
And in the comic book version, Wreck-Gar (played by Eric Idle in this movie), quotes a lot of Monty Python.
31:07 the mustache is called a “Fu Man Chu.” At least, in the US.
I can’t believe you reacted to this.. I’m glad you did! I didn’t think women watched Transformers
I cried in the movie theatre when I was 7 when Prime died and I'm crying again now.
15:13 find a girl that looks at you the way she looks at Optimus Prime
I watched this so many times as a kid I actually wore out the tape!
I'm late and might not be seen. But yes, Optimus returned. As a toy line driven show, the movie was seen as a way to write out characters who's toys were discontinued. Hasbro didn't get how much Prime ment till the reaction to his death. Since then it's kind of become a reoccurring thing in the shows and comics that Prime will die and come back. Optimus is the face of the brand now.
One thing about Primes death is he suffered worse wounds but the Autobots have 2 medical genius bots Ratcet and Wheeljack who just happen to get killed in the movie, Ratcet was one of the autobots killed on the shuttle and Wheeljack is on the floor when Arcee is draging the dead autobot (Windcharger btw).
The only cartoon better than this growing up that was in this same genre was Voltron…:)
Optimus Prime returns in a comic series back in the 80s, he is now Powermaster Optimus Prime and can literally combine with his trailer to become massive.
Heck he came back in the Season 3 episode "The Return of Optimus Prime". Cementing his place as Transformers Jesus.
Ok this'll sound strange but in college me and 2 guy friends were in an "adult" dvd store, and they had this movie. I about jumped outta pants for joy. Yay! My childhood. The 2 laughed, didn't care, got the movie I wanted!
Many cartoons in the 80s were simply half-hour ads for toy lines. Merchandising was the whole point of Transformers. The movie was all about introducing a new line of toys, so the first act is just killing off the old characters so kids would buy the new ones. The executives really misread the room, completely ignorant of the emotional investment we had in the universe and characters. Kids were leaving movie theatres traumatised at seeing swathes of their favourite characters being slaughtered. After massive backlash, they had to reintroduce Optimus Prime in the cartoons.
Fyi, Ironhide was also voiced by Peter Cullen, hence the resemblance.
"Five faces of darkness" and "Call of the Primitives" you might wanna see.
Yes after a lot of protest prime does come back in “the return of Optimus prime”
No. You were right. There was a city playset. Following the movie there was Metroplex and the Decepticons had Trypticon. A year later the Autobots had Fortress Maximus and the Decepticons got Scorponok.
Soundblaster came way later. Soundwave and Blaster killed each other, like Megatron and Prime did, then were rebuilt into Soundblaster and Twincast.
Hasbro intended this to be a method of retiring old characters and bringing in new ones. They did not realize how much the fanbase would object to killing Optimus Prime.
He was brought back in both the comic and the animated series after Hasbro realized they couldn't simply kill off the character without losing a great many of the fans.
Yeah, they brought Optimus back at the end of season three… but season four only had like three episodes-so it was a case of too little, too late.
Though the Japanese version of the show had a whole extra plot arc beyond what U.S. audiences received.
Close to the end of season 3 of the Animated series Optimus Prime Returns
Somebody already probably said it, but it's said and has been shown that Unicrom and Cybertron are sworn ememies. Cybertron is a type of different Transformer too. Some say he hasn't shown his true form.
Saw it in the movie theater when I was 13 still the greatest transformers movie ever
You look really good for being someone who saw this cartoon back in the early 80s👍😃👌👌 I enjoyed your reaction 🙏✌️ I subscribed
12:39 Soundblaster was Soundwave's name in Japan, And Blaster was called Broadcast.
Um actually, Soundwave was always called Soundwave in Japan. Soundblaster was his upgraded/revived name. Just like how Blaster (broadcast) was revived and renamed Twincast
Yeah, now imagine seeing optimus prime die When you're like seven or eight years old and you idolized him for 2 years😢
💔
Yep. Really they killed Optimus Prime. I saw this in the theater as a kid and like many other kids of the 80’s this messed me up. That’s why they brought Optimus back to life in season 3 of the cartoon.
Actually if you rewind to the part that Optimus gives the Matrix to Magnus, it falls and Hot Rod catches it, you can see it glowing, a sign that the Matrix found its new bearer, so if Magnus catched it, he would've become a Prime
To be fair, it's not really clear whether the first Autobot that touches the Matrix, after it's been passed, is the new Prime, or whether the Matrix itself chooses.
Ultra Magnus said he wasn't worthy to receive the Matrix. Optimus said he wasn't worthy, either, when it was passed to him. Hot Rod, if you watch carefully, displays several leadership qualities that he was probably unaware of, even before he caught the Matrix. Afterwards, those qualities were amplified, and he still wasn't aware of it.
It would've been interesting to have had Ultra Magnus catch the Matrix, but still not be able to use it. That would've made the big reveal even BIGGER.
THIS movie had an awesome soundtrack.
You give me hope there’s single women who love transformers out there haha
Prime, starscream and unicron return
Windcharger, Jazz, Prowl, Ratchet, Ironhide, Wheeljack to name a few... They all died in this one to clear the shelves for new toys. The company who made the movie goes a shitstorm of letters and phonecalls from angry parents who had to take their crying kids from the theaters because their heroes had died.
Rather died in the first shuttle attack he was the white one with the red cross on the shoulder duel welding blasters.
Nice reaction! And yes, Optimus Prime does return in the cartoon👍
Autobot city wasn't a toy but metroplex transformed in an autobot city
48:08 It's not the end of Optimus Prime. But there were many episodes between this Film and the episode "Return of Optimus Prime".
Imagine as a kid watching seasons 1 & 2 then movie comes out . as a kid me and my friends didn't mind the Transformers died what hated wasn't we didn't get to see what ones did and argue that Jazz , Bumblebee,Cliffjumper lived then who else we do see some of them in season 3
Jazz survived, but his voice actor, Scatman Crothers passed away. Cliffjumper survived, but Casey Kasem left because of an anti-Arab reference in the fictional country of Carbombya.
Optimus Prime came back later in the series.
I’m so very glad you reacted to in my humble opinion the best movie of THE TRANSFORMERS. Subscribed.
Here in the UK, there was an added narration at the end of the film where the narrator says "the Galaxy spinning adventures of the Transformers will continue... and Optimus Prime WILL return!", reassuring UK audiences after the backlash of the US release! Here you go: ua-cam.com/video/O-6PrJ5FM1c/v-deo.htmlsi=3aFiIAVyr2ucK1X7
I think you'll like Beast Wars. Also, Japan had 3 sequels to the original 1980s cartoon, HEAD MASTERS, MASTER FORCE, and VICTORY. There was also 4th one, but was one a single episode called ZONE.
In order:
G1 season 1-3 (Japanese ignored the 3 episodes that made the 4th season in the us, called 'the rebirth', it was not that good)
Head Masters
Master Force
Victory
Zone
Beast Wars season 1
Beast Wars Second (The japanese made 2 filler seasons....they loved beast wars a lot, and were stuck waiting for season 2 and 3 to come out, and so made 2 exclusive series)
Beast Wars season 2
Beast Wars season 3
Beast Wars Neo (It essentially ended the original Generation 1 era)
Beast Machines (it's controversial, like the sequel trilogy of Star Wars.....a lot of character personalities were changed a lot, and a lot of folks, myself includes, did not like that, nor the character redesigns, and the toys were so out of scale with each other...it's up to you if you wanna see this one or not.)
Transformers 2000 Carobots/Robots in Disguise is a sorta singular series, like the JJ star trek movies.
This movie was a transition that Hasbro did to advance from G1 to G2. In order to put the new generation in, they had to remove some of the old transformers. They chose the ones that didn't do well in sales and had them killed in battle. Optimus and Megatron were a different story. They were written to have had one more fight against each other to the death. Megatron was given the path of reformation into Galvatron as Optimus dies from too heavy injuries. The scene of his death caused such an uprising backlash from the parents. The kids saw Optimus as a true hero figure at the time and when he died, every child in the theater cried. Parents complained to Hasbro and as a result, had to bring Optimus back not once, but twice. Once by the Quintessence(five head robot) to kill the Autobots. And again by the same aliens in order to help save the universe from a madness plague.
It wasn't G2. All this is still considered G1 because it was a continuation of the series and many of the old characters stayed in the series for season 3 with the new ones replacing those who died. It was the beginning of the end of G1 in the U.S. (it continued for another like 4 years in Japan) as the series only lasted one season more and then had the small 3-part "rebirth" storyline with the creation of the Headmasters...which was it's own separate thing in the U.S., Japan's continuity jumped right from season 3 to season 4 where they included the Headmasters and didn't bother with their origin story.
None of these people will actually feel or understand transformers the movie. For these you have to be from the 80, watch as a kid all seasons every day, every weekend and look at a cartoon character like Optimus prime, as a real counselor or second dad for us. What the author wanted to transmit to us through these characters. Than watch after some years your hero and friend die, was heartbreaking and shocking. You won't ever understand these. All these reactions arent genuine with all respect. It seems something silly because it's a cartoon but it really got deep in our hearts. Your a teenager perhaps that never saw the cartoons as a kid and followed with passion. The context is very but very different. Todays movies are a joke for most of us and the robots too.
This is so much better than the live action movies.
There was metroplex which was autobot city but they didn’t have a model for it for this movie so it looks different and doesn’t transforms.
You also had a hard paper model you could build.
41:19 In the original marvel comic, unicron DID destroy the univese that existed before the we are in began.
Optimus prime returns in season3 generation 1 of the cartoon
It’s sad that Hasbro committed a complete massacre on the G1 Transformers just to sell some new toys. Scared a whole generation of kids. What the writers should have done is while Unicron does his upgrade to the decepticons , they could have introduced Primus and have him upgrade the Autobots . This would have given Hasbro their toys and saved a lot of kids seeing their dad die.
Rip Optimus Prime
Ah yes… this was the start of Hasbro making immensely foolish mistakes that cost them massive amounts of money and they still somehow keep repeating. XD Still a fantastic movie though!
The movie that traumatized an entire generation of children. And pissed off their parents for the trauma the deaths caused.
There was such an uproar that about nine months later, they did bring him back, but it was not the original plan
Yes it does make sense its about the Energon not all the non-continuality of the Bay movies who wrote himself in a corner making Unicron Earth. Cartoons served one purpose. and that was to sell toys!! So they off'd alot to make kids interested in a new line up of transformers.
Great score composed by Vince DiCola.
When Unicron said he considered sparing Cybertron, I don't know if he was telling the truth, like, why would then he going to Cybertron if wasn't to destroy it?
What expect hasbro team with hasbro turn toys into show and film links season 2 and 3 together find out what happened after film and if any more new toys become show characters need watch show.
😢😮how is it you guys are barely seeing this epic movie? Grrrrrrreat movie

Optimus Prime is brought back at the end of the season 3 of the Generation 1 season after Hasbro received thousands of angry parents' letters chastising them for killing off Prime in the movie and traumatizing children all over the world as a result.
Orson well as unicron/ eric idel was wreck garr/ judd nelson is hot rod and rodimus prime/ robert stack is ultra magnus / cassey who voice shaggt in orginal scobby doo is cliff jumper and teletram 1
Awesome reaction
Watch the last season of Transformers the series to get the rest of the story
Optimus Prime got better in the TV show. Sadly the other Autobot casualties did not.
