Set in the late ‘80s when rock ballads and heavy metal ruled the airwaves, the movie hailed iconic acts from Stan Bush and “Weird Al” Yankovic that hammered down on the young audience’s love for the giant robots, establishing that the series had the touch to connect with its core audience.īut for all The Transformers: The Movie set out to be, providing the heart and soul that no other kid’s cartoon could, there was one thing that it did not anticipate and now 35 years later, Hasbro is finally putting right to a great. While the animated television series was in fact an amalgamation of different Japanese toys that started it all, The Transformers: The Movie elevated the series by becoming one of the first children-centered properties to bring in notable actors to voice the new characters, including Judd Nelson as Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime, Star Trek’s Leonard Nimoy as Galvatron, and famed director Orson Welles as Unicron, alongside series veteran Peter Cullen, who will forever be the leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime. When the first Transformers movie premiered back in 1986, it captured the hearts of the children who spent their Saturday mornings watching the battle of the heroic Autobots versus the evil Decepticons, showing the child in us that a simple American toy line that was heavily inspired by a variety of Japanese toys was so much More Than Meets The Eye.įast forward to 2007 and the first of many live-action Transformers movies hit the big screens, and while the live-action franchise generated billions at the box-office and turned an 80s toy line into a household name, there was no denying that despite spending millions in special effects to show how ordinary every items and vehicles can transform in gigantic alien robots, none could recapture the magic of the original1986 classic – that iconic theme song, the introduction of more Transformers, including the biggest, meanest planet-eating robot, as well as a soundtrack that many still hold dear.
It’s said that there’s nothing quite like your first love, and fans of Transformers know it well and best.
