I didn't shed a single tear when I saw Bambi's mother perish. However, I was 7 when I seen this in theaters. I had to hold back the tears when they slaughtered Optimus Prime just to sell more / new toys. Optimus Prime deserved better. This movie taught me at a young age about corporate greed. Much the same way that Scooby-Doo taught me that human beings were / are the real monsters.

[@davebrown2056]

@@trydowave The screenplay and the storybook adaptation both claim that Cyclonus says "The Autobots have been terminated" after Ultra Magnus blows up half the shuttle. It admittedly sounds more like Scourge's voice to me, but Cyclonus (in ship mode) _is_ onscreen at the time, and Carmel _was_ inconsistent about how the character sounded in the post-movie episodes, and he _is_ listed in the credits. On the other hand, Don Messick is also credited for voicing Gears, who only appears in the background of one scene and says nothing, so it's possible both characters had lines that were cut. Well, Carmel definitely voiced the Quintesson leader, so whatever.

[@RodimusPrimal]

This movie takes place 20 years after the second season of the original cartoon. So there's a LOT of lore. However, if you watch the first 5 episodes of the show, you'll get a great understanding of how things worked for the setup. How the Transformers came to Earth. How they met humans. All that.

@@davebrown2056 they never specified the year in the early seasons. it's not so "evident". just saying that doens;'t make their actual evidence for it. it is my opinion that they were intended to be taking place in the ninties. it's kind of like how Robocop (as an example) never specified when it took place , but no one is asuming it was the 80's in robcop . same deal with the transformers season 1 and 2, they never specifed a year . so it's easy to say they were set in the "near" but unspecifed future at least till the movie which claimed it was 2005 like you said and spike was more like early 30's in that movie not his mid 40's also very important when reguarding spike's age; he was working in oil fields with his dad in the first two seasons of the show , so at youngest he was 18 in the first season of the show , they haven't allowed minors to work in the oil industry since before the 1930's . also i call the cop pull over a huge msitake on the writer's part because of this fact. as a minor would not be allowed to work in a oil field Job. him working that job is more consistant than the one time he got pulled over. furthermore a freaking 15 year old can get a drivers permit , but a 15 year old can't work in the oil industry. and spike is most defintiely older than 15. so maybe he lied about his age to get the job , this puts him at 16-17 then maybe. but still a stretch , some one would eventualy caught him lieng about his age and he'd have lost his job with his dad, and his dad might have lost his job as well for being an accomplice,

The thing is, in the animated series, no one EVER died. They get shot, and they shake it off. Then the movie came along, and it was a slaughter. Yes it was very shocking in 1986.

[@davebrown2056]

Well, to be fair: Alpha Trion sacrificed himself in "The Key to Vector Sigma Part 2" (his later appearances were either via time travel, or in spirit form). The Autobots' Thirteenth Legion succumbed to Cosmic Rust in the episode of the same name. The Dinobots killed several of Shockwave's guards in "Desertion of the Dinobots Part 2". "War Dawn" featured the deaths of Orion Pax's best friend Dion and an unnamed Guardian Robot. But sure, characters who had toys never died in the show (except Skyfire, but he came back two episodes later).

[@DenverStarkey]

it was a toypocolypse. hasbro wanted to introduce new toys because sales were starting to drop on the old ones and some toys like megatron had to be discontinued before they even had a full year out, because laws regarding toy guns changed mid-production. (I was of of the very few kids that had megatron) as he looked like a real walter p38 when transformed.

[@1stgenkpopfan646]

Ironhide, Ratchet, prowl, and Brawn , the four autobots taken out on the shuttle towards the beginning, were all major characters in the first two seasons of the show- in an animated series for kids where no one died. Seeing the four of them killed so quickly and in such violent fashion is something so shocking that people who didn’t grow up with the 80s show will never fully appreciate.

As I noted elsewhere, the statement that no one died in pre-movie Transformers isn't entirely accurate--there was Alpha Trion, Dion, and a handful of nameless background characters. Still, I see your point. I suppose I'm a bit biased because I grew up with Beast Wars/Machines and only went back and watched G1 later, so major characters dying wasn't as shocking to me.

[@JacksonAnzolone]

Back then this movie legit traumatized a generation including my dad with the fact that all the Autobots and Decepticons from the original tv show were all mostly killed off. And all of this was just because Hasbro wanted to sell new toys by killing all the characters.

[@cupcakeprime559]

Fun fact: Arcee, the female autobot, wasn't actually supposed to be in the movie. The networks (I think) didn't want a female character because she wouldn't be interesting to the young boys in the audience and they didn't think girls would watch it. However one if the filmmakers fought back to keep her included, because his daughter was in love with the original cartoon series, and knew how important it was for her and all the other girls watching to be represented.

[@Lazrael32]

which is funny because Arcee was one of my favorites as a young boy. I often liked the cool female warriors. I still do.

[@AIFT_Staff]

not exactly true. From the start, transformers was genderless entities, because they're alien robots. And Ratchet was female from the start. But then became this story, and for this purpose fembots were added to season 2, automatically making all the previous characters male.

[@Lazrael32]

@@AIFT_Staff Ratchet wasn't female. you are confusing stories. Bob wanted to make ratchet female but that was told he couldn't. so yeah. there were no female transformers until the writer convinced them to let him add Arcee. they absolutely were male because Hasbro didn't want female transformers.

[@cheeseburger12]

@@Lazrael32 Elita-1 was in season 2 along with a few other female Autobots before Arcee came along in TF: The Movie. I think those female Autobots were only in 1 or two episodes before Arcee, so they were easy to miss.

[@PuppetDungeon]

@@cheeseburger12 exactly. We do find out in those episodes that female Autobots were nearly extinct, leaving only their strongest warriors. Arcee was never the first, but she would have been the first to get a toy... but the powers that be didn't like mixing toy lines because girl toys in a boy series "didn't sell". (This of course is malarky, as Princess Leia sold just as much as the guy characters) Unfortunately for her, Arcee never made it out of prototype... much like Unicron.

[@samcarter565]

Its always interesting to see how people react to Primes death, because the new movies absolutely understand just how important Prime is to the franchise and so he cant die essentially. Primes death caused a huge uproar from parents and caused Hasbro to change the ending of the GI Joe movie.

[@davebrown2056]

That must have really sucked for the writers. Buzz Dixon had finally convinced Hasbro to let him kill off a G.I. Joe character (it's not that he was bloodthirsty, he just felt that making war look fun and safe was a bad message for children, to which I agree). They then forced Ron Friedman to kill off Optimus as well (something he _really_ didn't want to do) and because of the backlash, they ended up removing Duke's death. And on top of that, because the Transformers movie bombed at the box office, the Joe movie got its budget slashed and went direct to video. As a fan of both franchises, that irritates me to this day.

Long-time Transformers nerd here with further information: 1:30 - It depends. Some Transformers are programmed by Vector Sigma, the ancient computer at the heart of their home planet Cybertron. Others are simply built. (It's been implied from time to time that they _can..._ "get physical", let's say... presumably just for pleasure, but for obvious reasons this has never been elaborated on.) 2:43 - More specifically, according to the DVD commentary, Autobot City is near Chatanooga, Tennessee. This is plausible, particularly since there _is_ a real Lookout Mountain in that region, though a later episode of the TV show seems to imply it's near New York City instead. Either way, part of the city transforms into a gigantic Autobot, Metroplex. 2:52 - Yep. That's Spike Witwicky. He's the inspiration for Sam, Shia LaBeouf's character from the live-action movies. His wife (and little Daniel's mother) is a character named Carly, who you'll meet if you keep watching the live-action movies. 4:00 - There are some humans who are enemies of the Autobots, such as mad scientist Dr. Arkeville, crazed big game hunter Lord Chumley and crime lord Victor Drath. For the most part, however, the two races get along just fine. There are even humans who live and work in Autobot City. 4:16 - Hot Rod can only turn into a car, but some Transformers _do_ have multiple alternate modes (we see two such characters in this movie). 4:27 - Again, it depends. Some Transformers are built from existing vehicles, while others choose their alternate mode (by scanning something and copying its appearance). 4:49 - When the franchise was in development, writer Bob Budiansky wanted Ratchet (the Autobot medic who transforms into an ambulance) to be female, but Hasbro said no, since they wanted to market Transformers towards boys alone. But when Ron Friedman wrote this movie, he insisted on introducing a girl robot, since his young daughter loved Transformers. Consequently, one episode of the show that aired before the movie would establish that female Autobots existed (including Elita-One, Optimus Prime's girlfriend). 5:55 - There's a later episode of the show where a new character asks if there's something wrong with Blurr's "timing mechanism". Kup (the grumpy old Autobot with all the war stories) affectionately notes that that's just how Blurr is. 6:51 - The characters who die in this movie are mainly those whose toys had just been discontinued. Almost every other character was available as a toy at the time, except Arcee and Unicron. (Toys of them were planned, however, and would eventually be made decades later.) 7:12 - Transformers who were built together are considered siblings, but in the live-action movies, Optimus and Megatron were brothers in the metaphorical sense (i.e. very close buddies). It should be noted, however, that _this_ Optimus and Megatron don't share the same backstory (though young Orion Pax _did_ admire Megatron until he realized how evil he was). 7:58 - Note that he kicks Megatron with the foot he was injured in earlier. 8:47 - They didn't call them sparks back then, but basically, yeah. 9:09 - There was a lot of backlash against Optimus' death at the time, since many of the kids in the audience saw him as a father figure. He does come back to life near the end of the show, however. 11:04 - Not quite. In the following season of the show, Starscream comes back as a ghost that can possess other Transformers. We later learn that he has a mutated, indestructible spark. 11:48 - In this movie, yes, but the Autobots have several other human allies. For example, there's Chip Chase, wheelchair-bound computer genius. And there's Captain Marissa Faireborn, their military liaison, who is actually the daughter of two characters from G.I. Joe (which sometimes crosses over with Transformers). 14:12 - It's revealed in the following season of the show that the Quintessons originally created the Transformers. Cybertron was their colony, until the ancestors of the Autobots and Decepticons rose up against their masters. 14:32 - It should. One of the taglines for this movie was "conceived in the epic tradition of Star Wars". In addition to the similarities you noted, there's Arcee's Princess Leia hair. 15:03 - Yes, Wheelie is an Autobot child. He was orphaned when his family's ship was wrecked on Quintessa, and he spent the following years hiding out and fending for himself. 17:15 - The Junkions are descended from Autobots who left Cybertron during the war. Presumably they recognize the Universal Greeting because of their shared heritage. 18:40 - Grimlock has always been one of my favorite Transformers characters. I'm glad you also like him. 22:25 - The show and this movie were written and produced in America, and only animated in Japan, so they don't count as anime (at least in my view). There have been several Transformers anime made since then, however. 25:09 - This movie was a theatrical release, one of two based on Hasbro toys in 1986 (the other was My Little Pony). I'm sorry this was so long, but you seemed very curious. Also, I hope you don't mind me saying so, but you're really pretty.

[@cedric13]

Actually in the very first episode of the show, they have very generic forms. The autobots are mostly vehicles and can't fly. Deceptions are generally other stuff and most if not all of them can fly. They fly to earth because its rich in energon, on the ship there they get into a fight and crashland. The AI of the ship goes around and takes like holographic pictures of stuff and programs them into them, so they can take on forms from the world. The deceptions wake up first and thing all the autobots are gone and run off. The Autobots wake up... and that's where the series starts...

@@davebrown2056 It's not that they are detailed and realistic. Muppet Babies and Real Ghostbusters' looks and designs as well as art style are in the form of American cartoon. More rounded edges, faces, bright colors and more childish. The original G.I. Joe however was again drawn in the 80s anime style and was done by Toei. Have you watched any 80s and early 90s anime? Does their art style, designs, color schemes and overall look compare and or look similar to what the Transformers and G.I. Joe look like, especially their Movies? Yes, they do. Do the other cartoons or anything from major American Saturday Cartoon lineups from the 80s and 90s look like anime? No. American animation and design does not line up with how Japanese animation and or things inspired by Japanese animation do, especially during the 80s and 90s. Voltron, Macross/Robotech, G.I. Joe, Transformers were all anime. Back then in the US however it was simply called Japanese animation, shortened later to Japanime and finally anime.

Hasbro wanted to sell more toys, so they took this opportunity to have the discontinued toys killed off in this movie in order to make room for them. Some of the more popular toys had their characters survive, so they could keep selling them. Fun fact: they kept the details of the movie secret but still had pre-production of the toys where it was hard to keep secrets. In the UK and Japanese markets, they went ahead and advertised Galvatron as one of Megatron's minions, a loyal second in command to be the counterpart to Ultra Magnus. And the toy that ended up as Ultra Magnus was originally an alternate power armor form and the same character as the toy that became Optimus Prime.

The assumption is that human technology would have advanced faster because of the autobots sharing their technology. If that had happened it would have been huge in the span of about 20 years. The voice of Optimus Prime was the same as in the movie. And I was sad that they killed off so many of the original characters in the movie. This was done because the company that purchased the rights to the transformers and didn’t get the rights to any of the old characters.

[@kaylemathewcomendador6964]

Nah, the older characters got killed off because they wanted to make room for the new characters/toys.

[@Darkeklaw]

Hasbro thought kid had bought enough of the old toys and were clearing the roster for new ones. Hasbro/Takara have owned the Transformers together since they were cobbled together from Diaclone and Micro-change.

[@davebrown2056]

I'm sure the Autobots sharing their technology was a factor, but don't forget that Transformers shares a universe with G.I. Joe and Inhumanoids. The need to protect the populace from terrorists armed with ancient technology, as well as giant monstrous invaders, would also lead to some rapid advancement.

Essentially, the first act of this movie is the final episode of the Transformers as people knew it at the time. The big ultimate battle where the autobots and decepticons both lose their leaders... and then it somehow keeps going. The characters have to carry on, the world building spirals, the next generation takes over, it's great. Be ready to hear a LOT of these names pop up again in the live action sequels if you get that far.

"Were there dinobot toys?" lol - you have to understand that the TV show was basically a toy commercial. If a new 'transformer' was revealed on the show - it would be on the shelves before long so we could tell our parents what they had to get us for christmas. The movie was really better than it had any right to be with a kick-ass soundtrack and an impressive cast of voice actors. It's held up surprisingly well.

Fun fact. Peter Cullen, who voices Optimus Prime, said when he read the script for this movie, he was upset about what they were going to do to his character, and it made him feel like Optimus wasn't important to the franchise. But little did he know back then how wrong he was considering in the seasons that followed this animated film, they did bring Optimus Prime back to life. I won't tell you how, but he does come back sometime after the events of this movie.

[@TheYoungDoctor]

Today is the Transformers 40th anniversary. Marvel Comics published the first issue of the US Transformers comic book on the 8th of May 1984. A Marvel UK version followed 5 months later in September.

[@evileyevirtue]

So the timeline was seasons 1 & 2, the movie, then seasons 3 & 4. And lemme tell you, Optimus dying was a pretty big thing at the time. He was like my Saturday morning dad since mine wasnt around. In the words of Peter Cullen's (the voice of OP) brother, he was "strong enough to be gentle". Im in my 40's and i still get teary eyed thinking about OP's death. There was also a massive backlash at the time of the movie. Theatres of kids crying and parents taking their kids out of the movie. It even sparked a write in campaign (yes, with physical letters) from angry parents. The suits at Hasbro were basically telling the animated team to kill off all of the existing characters so they could sell the new toys coming out, they didnt see the cartoon as anything other than an ad to get kids parents to buy them toys. But the writers did the best with what they had and made really thought out characters who resonated with kids, at least with the amount of time and resources they had available to them.

It’s funny as all the character deaths in the movie was a mandate from Hasbro who makes the Transformers toys as a way to remove old characters (toys) and replace them ones. This actually went badly for Hasbro as they received letters spin letters from sad kids. Hasbro had not realized kids didn’t see Optimus Prime as just a toy, but a hero. And in the 3rd season of the show revived Prime (with a new toy to follow of course).

[@serinx]

The main thing you might be missing from the series seasons 1+2 before the movie is that it took place in 1984-1985, so there was a 20 year time jump in the intro of the movie (hence the narration, It is the year 2005). Spike Witwicky (Daniel's father) was the main human character and was around 15 years old. His dad Sparkplug was also featured a lot. The second thing missed from the series is the many many characters not seen in the movie. And their long histories together... like Megatron and Starscream have a lot of past issues. So when he gets blasted by Galvatron there's a lot of pay-off in stuff like that.

[@TheCastellan]

17:17 These motor cycle Transformers are called "Junkions", who seem to have left Cybertron LOOOOONG ago, and settled on this planet as a sorta lost colony, and learned to speak by watching television or listen to radio signals from across space. Orson Wells, who voiced Unicron, that booming voice you hear, was actually done with a LOT of electronic enhancing, because Nelson Shin, the producer said, Orson could barely speak at this point (for he was morbidly obese, and needed an oxygen tank with a tube up his nose to breathe) and was wheezing. It was good timing, because Orson died a few weeks later, due to his obesity. 17:45 "Call of the Primitives", a season 3 episode from the original series, goes over his origins....and had some of the BEST animation in the original series. Most modern Transformers series use the original comic book Unicron origins. He is not so much a cannibal, since he is not of the same race as the Transformers as....it's kinda tricky to explain. 18:19 Antibodies. If you look at the original trailer for this movie, which you can find on KZbin, you will see Unicron, though machine....had organic innards, like veins and organs. The trailer also had some unused animation, some of which was EPIC. In the 2002 Armada/Micron Legend series, Unicron did have organic internals. 20:12 Yep, that is why you see Unicron actually ripping parts of himself off, he was trying to get the Matrix out of his body before it was too late. 20:43 more like until season 3 came along, which takes place shortly after this (In Japan, it was 5 years later). 20:55 I had a hard time telling who was who in the Bay movies, and really did not like most of the designs. Some 'toy cartoons', that did not FEEL like toy cartoons (good stories, writing, etc) I recommend are: Jayce and the Wheel Warriors Starcom Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers The Real Ghostbusters Zillion Visonaries Dragon Quest: The Legend of Able Inhumanoids The first 5 part pilot to the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Robotix Machine Robo Mighty Orbots Duck Tales (1987) Transformers Beast Wars 22:16 There IS Transformers anime, which adds MORE to the original series.

[@mattschliemann9683]

Although I wasn't happy with the new designs in the live action movies, I did eventually get used to them. Was soo disappointed in Jazz's death as he was one of my favorite characters in the cartoon. You are completely right though, it was super hard to tell what/who was going on. Especially when transformers were fighting, wrestling and rolling around! It's like there was too much small details in their body's so it just looked like a mangled mash when it happened. Thankfully I think they managed to improve in this department as the movies went along, although I can't tell you what they did to achieve it. I just could tell easier what was happening and with who more and more as we went.

[@ChalkanCheese]

Marvel UK ran a weekly comic on Transformers ( 300 or so ) where they expanded on the US versions and added original stories. My personal favourite series was on Deaths Head the bounty hunter, who was tasked by Rodimus Prime to track down Galvatron.

True. But at least, it helped make the movie memorable if you think about it because I remember in the "GoBots Movie" that nobody died I don't think, yet most people barely remember that film. Therefore, you have to ask yourself which is worse? A film like "Transformers the Movie" where tons of your beloved characters are killed off for the sake of selling toys? Or a forgettable mess that still introduces new toys while having a generic plot referencing racism in "GoBots" that most people didn't care for?

But I will tell you that I just about cried (from joy) hearing Peter Cullen voice Optimus Prime again in 2007. I mean, we have and have had other actors play Optimus Prime, some imitating the original, some not. One time, Optimus Prime was voiced by David Kaye, an actor known for voicing Megatrons. But nobody captures the soul of Optimus like Peter Cullen. A voice that is noble and gentle, yet powerful. And at the time, I never thought i would hear him again.

[@Midrealm_DM]

24:45 - They were blocky and lacked articulation. Most of them had arms that moved, but little else. However they did convert to alternate forms. Many had diecast metal parts around thier feet, which helped keep center of gravity low, allowing them to stand easier. Modern versions have much greater posability and articulation. My favorite was the Generation 1 character 'Skids' - not the Bayverse version You can see images and more info on various characters at websites like TFwiki

As you realized, yes all the transformers in the movie were toys sold back then. So the reason why they killed off a lot of them in this movie (including Prime) was because the toys were getting discontinued.

There were toys of everyone, but Arcee and Unicron, they came out way later. The idea around all the deaths was the 1984 toyline Optimus, Megatron, Starscream, would be replaced by the 1986 toys like Hot Rod and Galvatron. The producers of the movie just saw this as a toy commercial and didn't realize kids actually loved the transformers as characters until after the movie was released.

[@shaggybaggums]

The design for many of the new transformers seemed a lot less interesting and quite tacky in some cases. I was never a fan of Hotrod's toy for example, but it was still way better than Rodimus Prime's design. I kept watching the show and reading the annuals, but the first toys were always more interesting to me. With the exception of Jetfire, which was a repurposed Valkyrie from Robotech if I remember correctly. I think it was Robotech, it's been a while. We had some amazing toys back in the day.

I in no way shape or form take myself seriously as a collecter, but i still have a shelf full of the bots. Its kind of just nice having the funny little guys youre attached to kicking around. It also helps that the toys tend to be pretty high quality, and really media-accurate if they came out after 2007 (which i thank the Animated toy designers for every day) You will find a toy for nearly every character in any given tf show. You will find recolors of those same characters. You will find characters that arent even IN the show. You will find toys that look nothing like the character and toys that recreate the character perfectly down to the last minute detail. There are a fuck of a lot of these guys.

Choosing to watch the live action movie instead of the original series before watching this movie will always cause you to have more questions and confusion about the movie and characters than people who watched the original series from the beginning of the first season because this movie was an extension to the original series with a change in the characters based on the toy being released at the time.

Clarifying the anime vs western cartoon stuff. Transformers began as two Japanese toy lines that had no real story (Microman and Diaclone). Hasbro, in America, bought the rights to both of these series and grouped them together. Hasbro paid Marvel Comics to come up with a story and characters. That was turned into a cartoon show. The cartoon show is a weird mix of American and Japanese. Americans wrote the scripts, but Sunbow and Toei were making the show (and the toys began in Japan). The show itself had 3.25 seasons in America and 6 full seasons in Japan. So the last 3 seasons or so are 100% Japanese anime (as they were written, animated, and aired only in Japan).
