Transformers: The Movie (1986)

I went to the cinema as a kid to see this movie with my friends (chaperoned by my mum). Nothing prepared us for a Transformers “bloodbath”. Hasbro used the movie to kill off many of our much-loved characters and sell us a bunch of new ones. It worked on me — I got Galvatron the following Christmas. Whereas the TV show was extremely tame in portraying conflict and death, the movie is like watching a Scarface version of Toy Story. It was brutal and… amazing! We were enthralled, entertained and emotionally scarred (except my mum who was bored rigid). I have watched it again as an adult and still really enjoy it, but it’s hard to know how much of that enjoyment comes from childhood nostalgia. Orson Welles famously said “I started at the top and worked my way down.” This movie featured his last performance. Discuss.
