I can't describe how miserable how all of us kids were leaving the movie theater I've never cried so much in my life LOL
It really was an emotional moment and I applaud the studio's boldness to do so, even if it was only to sell new toys. Tbh, I felt like bringing Prime back in S3 of the show cheapened his death, much like 'Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock' cheapened Spock's death at the end of 'Wrath of Khan'.
Seasons 1 and 2 took place before the movie. Seasons 3 and 4 after. It’s been so long since I’ve seen them. The two main humans in seasons 1 and 2 were Spike and his dad. The movie jumped the story forward 20 years. Daniel was introduced on the movie. The TV series never really killed anyone, just injure then repair, so the shear amount of death in the movie, unceremonious death at that, was shocking. Optimus Prime was resurrected once or twice post movie (apparently because fans hates his death so much). One post movie episode that I remembered and just rewatched a week or so ago was Ghost in the Machine where the ghost of Starscream manages to reactivate Unicron in order to get him to make him a new body.
I was pissed they killed Starscream. He was one of my favorite characters. I loved the two season 3 Starscream episodes where he came back to life.
Yeah, they did the episode “The Return of Optimus Prime” as a two-parter that capped off the end of season three… and season four had like 3-5 episodes!
In the USA, at least. Japanese audiences got a whole extra story arc featuring the headmasters, target masters, and other proto-minicon-like gimmick characters.
If nobody answered the show did continue and Optimus came back. Fun Fact: Backlash of Optimus dying changed GI Joe movie when Duke was supposed to die.
They traumatized a generation of kids killing off a bunch of the old ones so they could sell new toys.
True dat but it's still my favorite childhood movie.
I was so traumatized as kid in the theater that I couldn't watch it again til college. I vividly remember buying the VHS tape in the late 90s and it sat on my shelf for months. I had to get high to finally watch it to get over that spaceship scene when Prowler died. That image spooked me as a child.😂
I swear, THE BEST Transformers movie ever! One of THE BEST animated movies ever. And one of if not, THE BEST soundtracks ever
I remember when it came out. It was so sad for us kids that prime died that Hasbro brought him back to life a few months later. But that was supposed to be only temporary. But again kids wanted prime back so they brought him back permanently. The funny thing is the first time they brought him back he was basically a zombie prime being controlled..yeah thats what kids wanted lol.
This is still one of my all time favourite movie soundtracks, especially the version of the Transformers theme song itself. So 80s.
Fun fact, Vince DiCola who scored the movie also composed the score for Rocky.
When I saw this in the movie theater, it went silent when Optimus Prime died. Followed by tears and shock.
Fun little tid-bit as to why Marvel was credited: The Transformers were originally a failing toy brand in Japan that was purchased by Hasbro. In order to market the toys they hired writers from Marvel to create characters for each toy and begin writing a TV show. That's why Transformers was also a comic series under Marvel from 84' to 91'.
Takara to be exact.
Soundwave turned into a Walkman (tape deck) while Blaster turned into a boom box. :) and I love the Micromachines guy doing the voice of blur. We was at one time the fastest speaker in the world. It was his claim to fame. :)
Essentially, Hasbro wanted to introduce a new line of Transformers toys as the series had been running since 1984 and felt that Prime, Megatron and the other core cast had run their course so they used the movie to kill off most of the original mainline G1 characters and bring in Hot Rod, Ultramagnus, Galvatron, Cyclonus, Kup, Arcee and Scourge, among others. The fans took Optimus Prime's death so hard that they received hate mail before deciding to bring him back in season 3.
I was in the theatres in 86 to see this movie, I don’t remember crying over Optimus dying but I do remember being unsettled by prowl’s death. I also remember seeing other kids being escorted out of the theatre by their parents
Oh wow!!! So it was a bit much fornsome kids.
When I saw this as a kid I was crushed when Optimus died. Then I saw the part where Megatron turned into Galvatron and it was the first time my little brain really truly understood that this was all just trying to get me to buy new toys. Loss of innocence all around 😢. Also, the soundtrack slaps.
Season 1 and 2 lead up to this. After the movie they did Season 3. Kids like me were devastated when Optimus Prime died so the brought him back to life at the end of Season 3. I saw this in theaters when I was 8. Also the music composer was the same composer for Rocky 4. Last Optimus ends up opening the Matrix at the end of Season 3.
The first two seasons took place in "current year", then the movie time-jumped 20 years, and the rest of the original series carried on from there.
Spike is Sam Witwicky. He and his dad Sparkplug were the human element of the show, a couple of roughneck blue collar workers, mechanics I think, who could allegedly help out with repairs of the Autobots' vehicular forms.
Sparkplug was a mechanic with a surprising amount of range, even working in a ruby mine in his youth.
The first episode he and Spike were working on an oil rig.
@@Stormfin yeah, I thought I remembered an oil rig, but I wasn't entirely sure.
The soundtrack slaps. This movie is probably the most 80’s thing I’ve ever seen. It holds up surprisingly well, I’ve seen it countless times and it never gets old.
By the way, the VA for Optimus also voices Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh. I got to watch this in the theater when I was a kid. They had a promo on a cereal box and I got my ticket from that from solving a puzzle on the back of the box.
“Dare” and “The Touch” aren’t the same song, though… 🙂
The movie came out after season 2. They killed off many major characters to basically introduce new characters a.k.a toys to sell. Season 3 picks up right after the movie which was really cool.
So a little background. The movie came out between seasons 2 and 3 but due to the production time is missing most of the characters introduced throughout Season 2 (and there were _a lot_ of them). The movie killed off almost all of the older characters and focused on this group of all new characters. Arcee, Springer, Blurr, Ultra Magnus, Hot Rod, and Kup were all introduced here. As a result, kids were not emotionally invested in any of the characters in the film and it did not perform well. Imagine if you went to the theaters to watch Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and the movie followed the Ravagers once Stallone shows up. The cartoon picked up after the movie (and was called Transformers 2010 in Japan), but the new characters never really caught on like the originals did. Some were resurrected, but the kids had already moved on. The fourth season was scrapped and only the opening five part mini series was released.
A couple of notes:
-They're turning into boomboxes because it was the 80s. (Technically Soundwave is a microcassette recorder which were used primarily in businesses.)
-The Insecticons were introduced in Revenge of the Fallen as life sized insects.
-The GI Joe movie was made around the same time. It was supposed to be a theatrical release but the Transformers and My Little Pony movies did so poorly in the theaters that the GI Joe film was pulled off the schedule and the reaction to Prime dying led them to change the dialogue to indicate that Duke just went into a coma.
-Good catch on the matrix sounding like a lightsaber. That was the actual sound effect.
-With the exception of Ultra Magnus, the new toys were based on the animation rather than the other way around. As a result, they didn't how the toys would actually transform and Hot Rod's transformation isn't drawn the same way twice during the film. (My favorite is when his arms extend and his entire body rotates around.)
I love all of this! There's so much I didn't know about this movie.
Hotrod didn’t get hurt/best Galvatron so easy because when he started to use the matrix, his body was upgraded (he got taller, deeper voice, truck alternate mode). I’m around your age (37) but used to see all the transformers stuff on reruns (and got this movie second hand). So I saw this a bunch of times as a kid
As you know this is from the 80's thus why their transformations were based off house hold gadgets and machinery. In addition to cars and military style jets, yes Megatron was a gun (Walter P model) because the original toy came from a line called Machine Robo in Japan, which all the figures came from. Diaclon and more. Yes Optimus died because the executives of Hasbro wanted him to die along with the entire roster of orignal Autobots in a blaze of glory so new toys could be made and sold. It is a great animated film for its tiem and has aged well. If you look at Bayformers, you will find that all the movies thus far are inspired from the G1 lines episodes. however Rise of the Beast takes inspiration from Beast wars and Beast machines, Yes This movie takes place after season 2 of transformers before season three five episode opening, Five Faces of Darkness.
I was about to turn 11 when this filmed was released. I saw it in theaters with my brothers and two of my cousins in theaters. I was shocked but not devastated when Optimus was killed. Though there were many kids they were. Decades later I showed this to my daughter and she was upset with it. She was in her teens. I got her an Arcee for Christmas and she loved it. I’ve loved showing her movies I grew up with.
It is a lot of fun showing your favorite movies to your kids. I found a lot of joy showing my kids The Neverending Story. I was actually kinda surprised they really liked it.
Trivia: this movie is where Hasbro specifically created new toys just for the Transformers brand. Previous ones were from Japanese toy lines Diaclone and Machine Robo (with a roundabout rumored American toy line that Takara acquired designs from). During toy development, Ultra Magnus and Galvatron were made to be City Commanders of the giant transforming bases Metroplex and Trypticon for the Autobots and Decepticons respectively. The city toys weren't ready in time for movie production, which is why there's the placeholder name "Autobot City" that got left in. The movie team kept their secrets well, such that the comics and Japanese cartoons wrote whole stories with Ultra Magnus and Galvatron being second in command under Optimus Prime and Megatron. This made sense that they would be rivals, since their toys were due to be released in the States at the same time, and they were both big robots. Hot Rod / Rodimus Prime had a much smaller toy, so nobody thought he would end up being made an equal to Galvatron as leader of their respective factions. The UK comics were released weekly instead of monthly as was usual in the States, so they ended up making up a bunch of their own continuity, including that Galvatron was a time traveler from the future and not a rebuilt Megatron.
The later seasons of Transformers and GI Joe shared a lot of incidental music. That's why it sounded familiar to you.
I knew I wasn't going crazy, lol
The love action movies never held a candle to this film. Yes it was tragic and iron hides death still gets me the most.
Seeing this at 8 years old was traumatic .
And this is how the Autobots mourn the death of Optimus and several longtime comrades - with circle dancing, of course.
Ah the G1 dinobots, truly the most broken Autobot team in this entire show. Seriously, these guys were basically robot Hulks! They were strapped from head to toe in both modes, they could all fly in robot mode, and nothing could ever hurt them! Plus their toys must've sold like hot cakes, because they seemingly had endless plot armor in the handful of times all of the above stuff couldn't save them!
Springer was my favorite as a kid. I remember (including myself) kids were crying their ass off when Prime died. Every moment in this movie is classic. The movie matched the times and when "The Touch" played when Optimus rode in to face Megatron everyone even adults were cheering. For a "kids movie" it has more heart than almost anything that comes out of Hollyweird today.
Yeah, compared to most things that come out nowadays, this was dope!!
@@OnMyMindEntertainment 💪🏾
This movie took place between the 2nd and 3rd seasons of the cartoon.
Put urself in the position of a small child going to see their favourite autobot just for them to slaughter right in front on u 10 minutes in
That does sound like a horrible experience.
The backlash they got from Prime dieing in long run saved Duke from GI Joe the movie. They were going to kill him off but put him in a coma instead.
Yup, but the damage was done. Sunbow Studios didn't know it at the time, but Optimus' death would kill their company.
I felt bad for rodimus, first everyone blamed him for optimus death. then he led the autobots for 2 years and how do they show their gratitude? They left him when optimus came back as a zombie and followed the zombie.
Optimus had the matrix and told everybody that Rodimus was dead. They joined Optimus wanting revenge. That's why they followed him. Rodimus was to quick to give up the matrix which warped Optimus Prime's mind even more.
My man looks like he did a bit of baking before watching this 👽😂
6:56 "But you look just like me so this'll work out perfectly."
More true than the movie tells you. The truck cab of the original Ultra Magnus action figure was a recolored Optimus Prime cab then the trailer forms around him as armor.
So yeah. Ultra Magnus does look just like Optimus Prime.
Dedication to watch the movie before the trailer xD
Def holds a special place from my childhood haha. Nice reaction!
The movie is set between the 2nd and 3rd seasons of the show
5 days after the movie lines were set for Unicron, Orson Welles passed away
If you saw season 2 there is an episode that bridges season 2 to the movie. While produced in Japanese, English dubs can be found on RUclips called "Scramble City". I call it the OG Combiner wars lol. It basically shows why the Autobots are on Cybertron's moons and who the future secret Autobot city is.
Loved the insecticons , as they where neither interested in decepticons or autobots . they did what was best for them , and truly fearsome , together with Jetfire they where the only ones not beeing part of either group.
I did miss Omega Supreme in this movie , as a little battle with devastator would have been realy interesting as Omega supreme had only one goal in life destroying the constructicons and devastator . and we all have seen glimps how visious Omega Supreme was.
Auto bot city on the otherhand was Metroplex . also a shame we never got to see that .
"FIRST WE CRACK THE SHELL, THEN WE CRACK THE NUTS INSIDE!"
TRANSFORMERS!!!!!! MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE!
Oh yeah!!!!
On one hand as a kid I thought it was incredible that they went so far as to kill off a bunch of transformer favorites. That being said Optimus prime and Megatron both are so legendary even for their voices. Not to mention as annoying as he was starscream is pretty memorable. I lost a lot of interest after the movie. Enjoyed that you watched it.
When Hot Rod opened the matrix, if you watch he grew and also bulked up to become Roddimus Prime. Season 3 (after movie) Roddimus was only an average leader at best
Spike (the father) was a kid in the 1st and 2nd season. The movie is 1987 + 20 years into the future making it 2005 now, which he is now grown with a son of his own.
Oddly you never see spikes dad ever again after series 1 and 2, never addressed.
Yes it did continue afterwards, starscream came back as a ghost and possessed waspinator in beast wars, unicron is the one who revived him
The Optimus Prime death scene has made me cry since I was 6.
Not me lol
Primes death was sad but atleast he got his moment. Ironhide who was my fav at the time went down like a bitch and his head got blasted clean off too. Prime atleast came back, he couldn't.
In season 3, which this movie is essentially a prologue to, the Autobot city is revealed to be, yet another Autobot! His name is metroplex. Unless I'm confused and there are actually two Autobot cities.
11:14 - Did he just threatened Unicron? xD
The show did continue after the 1986 movie. It continued through season three I would love to see your reaction to the entire season at the end of the season Optimus prime do return. I believe it’s season four I could be mistaken. It’s been so long, but he does come back, because we all at the time asked for his return
Yep it was the first audible called for a character, in media.
Soundwave is a micro cassette player and Blaster is a boom box, because '80s.
TheTransformers: The Movie is the first story to revolve around a Mcguffin.
Oh really?! And now it's McGuffin city in every movie, lol!!
@@OnMyMindEntertainment Yeah, it''s not like the old days.
This Movie is set between the second & third seasons of series
I never counted how many transformers on both sides got axed in the film, I'm pretty sure I could get quite plastered if I made a drinking game out of it. This flick was both the best & worst thing Sunbow Studios did. Fan backlash to Optimus' death was the reason Duke wasn't killed off in the GI Joe animated movie, with him instead being put into his 3rd or 4th coma. One of the Blu Ray/DVD sets (I think the one with the hologram cover) has a special Easter egg documentary that tells of the backlash & how it doomed Sunbow Studios. I still have the CD soundtrack & score of the film. Say what you will about 80s music, but it was inspiring.
In the original release of the film, the commercials of the time said that you had to see it twice to take it all in; I did. I had 2 of the toys that were killed off in the film, namely Blue Streak & Brawn. Boy was I pissed.
This Was Orsen Wells Last movie before he died.....
I actually really liked his voice here
on my mind - no, in the USA get Transformers season 3 & 4 .
while Japan got Scramble City OVA showing Ultra Magnus as Scramble City commander and the 5 Transformer Combiners & Tripticon & Metroplex .
after the Movie Japan got Transformers 2010 , which was made into Season 3 and Japan Headmasters as season 4 .
If you think Optimus's death in this was bad. Then check out Season 3 episode Dark Awakening.
It does make me a little sad that people only associate this movie with the Micheal Bay movies and not the OG series, (no hate to anyone)
It's interesting to see your reaction to the very cool trailer for the famous game Mechwarrior 4 Vengeance (Intro HD version). I think you'll really like it 🔥
It set up season three in the cartoon series
You should watch the G1 series too.
Gotta be cybertron 😂
I remember the rumor that prime died. So I didn't want to see it. Thanks to the web I've seen lot of the shows I skipped.
I know this has been 10 months ago but with all do respect you really should have checked out the series before watching the movie.
Eh, Maybe. It's more fun to get some breakdowns from the comments. The crew always gets me some good info when I'm lacking in certain knowledge.
Tf g1 Season 1 and 2 was befor the movie then season 3 and 4 was after the movie there was 5 and 6 and 7 but it only in Japanese only call transformers headmasters
Robots in disguise! Glad you decided to react to it--I hadn't seeen it either. It was worth the watch, as I LOVE corny 80s movies in the vein of Rocky IV!!
Yeah, definitely some cringe moments, but just so much action, lol
🫡
You seem to have a condescending negative remark for every aspect of the movie shame!
Really? Is that what you heard?
@@OnMyMindEntertainment
Real talk that is what I heard! This movie pushed the envelope, caused controversy can I had one of the dopest soundtracks ever! I can't really name another cartoon like that that had a movie that lasted and was popular as this one for even 20 years!
Thsts not what I heard at all. Except when you dissed the touch dude, nobody disses the touch.
this is the ONLY transformer movie.
the michael bay aberrations are disgusting.
They messed up on the Transformers live action movies. In the original Transformers animated cartoon series. Megatron was a gun not a Jet fighter. Also in the original Transformers animated cartoon series. Megatron was never frozen on Earth like it showed in the first Transformers live action movie. The first Transformers live action movie showed a Decepticon police car. The Decepticons never had a police car. In the beginning of the original Transformers cartoon series. The Decepticons mostly had Jet fighters. With the exception of Megatron being a gun, Soundwave being a cassette recorder/walkman, and Shockwave not too sure what he is because he stayed on cybertron. Later the Decepticons had Automobiles like the Constructicons and the Stunticons. Also including the Insecticons. Plus The Decepticons had 2 triple changers. One called Astrotrain that transformed into a space shuttle and a train. The other triple changer is called Blitzwing that transformed into a jet plane and a tank. The Autobots Introduced Jetfire who is a plane later in the original cartoon series. Jetfire was an Autobot that was frozen on Earth. In the original cartoon series. It was the Autobots that always had cars and Bumblebee was a VW bug. Then later on in the original cartoon series the Autobots added the Dinobots. Who were transforming dinosaurs. Also the Autobots added the Aerialbots That transformed into planes. Plus I can't forget Omega Supreme who is an Autobot that transforms into a rocket. This is what happens when people start believing in what the movies put out and not knowing the history of the Transformers. If they would've made the movies just like the cartoon series. Then the movies would be great. But the movies are just ok.
