After that abomination of a movie called Transformers 2, I decided to go back to the tried and true cartoon version of "Transformers: The Movie. " First off, let me say that I can only remember about a dozen movies that I have seen more than once. I think I wore out my VHS copy of this movie when I was a kid. I used to collect Transformers (still have some today), I used to collect the comic books, and I used to watch the TV show. The great thing about this movie was that it came out after a season or two of the TV show, and it was mind-blowing. First of all, the TV show never really introduced any new Transformers, and this movie was like the All-Stars of Transformers. It introduced so many new toys that it gave every fanboy a hard-on. Not only that, in the TV show, no Transformer ever died. After this movie, so many Transformers died that they had to dub the next season of the TV show "Generation 2." And I think I even cried when Optimus died. Just nuts. Even today, I enjoyed every minute of this 90 minute movie. Oh, if you enjoyed this movie, you HAVE to watch the 3 part miniseries that came on TV right after this movie. It introduced the Headmasters. Am I getting too excited? I think so.
