The Y? Channel Reviews Transformers the Movie (1986) Part 2

he Transformers: The Movie is a 1986 animated science fiction action film based on the Transformers television series. It was released in North America on August 8, 1986, and in the United Kingdom on December 12, 1986.[8] It was co-produced and directed by Nelson Shin, who also produced the television series. The screenplay was written by Ron Friedman, who created Bionic Six a year later.

The film features the voices of Eric Idle, Judd Nelson, Leonard Nimoy, Casey Kasem, Robert Stack, Lionel Stander, John Moschitta Jr., Scatman Crothers, Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, and Orson Welles, who died 10 months before the film's release, in his final film role.[9] The soundtrack comprises electronic music composed by Vince DiCola and songs from rock and heavy metal acts including Stan Bush and "Weird Al" Yankovic.

The story is set in 2005, 20 years after the TV series' second season.
But it is most famous for the first death of Optimus Prime and the Introduction of Unicron and Galvatron. This movie also featured extreme robotic manga violence which is stark departure from the television series. It also serves as a giant commercial for the next wave of toys in the Transformers line up.

While it is not an obscure or terrible film, we like to nitpick! :)
