I love this fukking movie still to this day. Watched it this morning at work.
"Transformers: The Movie" is a 1986 animated film based on the popular toy line and TV series, "Transformers." The movie was directed by Nelson Shin and produced by Sunbow Productions and Marvel Productions. The film was released in theaters in North America on August 8, 1986, and features the voice talents of many well-known actors, including Judd Nelson, Leonard Nimoy, and Orson Welles in his final role before his death.
The plot of the movie is set in the year 2005, and follows the ongoing conflict between the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons. The Autobots learn of a plot by the Decepticons to use a massive planet-eating robot named Unicron to destroy the Autobot home planet of Cybertron. As the Autobots and Decepticons battle each other and Unicron, many beloved characters from the TV series are killed off, including Optimus Prime and Megatron, and new characters are introduced, including Hot Rod, who eventually becomes the new leader of the Autobots.
"Transformers: The Movie" was initially met with mixed reviews from critics and fans, but has since become a cult classic and is widely considered to be a defining moment in the franchise's history. The film's soundtrack, which includes songs by Stan Bush and "Weird Al" Yankovic, has also become a fan favorite
The first half is absolutely fantastic. The second half.....

Haven't seen Mask of the phantasm in a hot sec. But unlike Transformers DC animation has been putting out top notch shyt in the years since. It would be hard pressed for "MOTP" to be better than something like "Under The Red Hood" let alone Batman non animated films too.

"What he say his name was?"
Rumble always had some slick shyt to say
that technique saved many nights. For example went to see Titanic with Some friends , an hour an change in was bored and had to take a leak, went to get some more snacks and ran into my boy he was heading into another room about to go re-watch Blade and told me yooo come over here brah that shyt 
and this is a Blassic. So I wrangled my crew and walked in right as the Blood sprinklers was going off and that techno music was hitting 
. We went like 4 times to see Blade that weekend. It was wild and it was in a Hood-adjacent theater so the late shows was wild as fruuuck.So I was bumping a podcast on this last night, and the Podcaster dropped some dope knowledge. Apparently the Autobots had all but lost the war. Prime wanted to make one last ditch effort to save the autobots. Thats why he sent Ironhide and Co back to earth. They needed energy. Autobot city was constructed on a huge dam and was generating energy for the Autobots, but they were depleted on the Moon bases, while the Decepticons had access to energon. Basically the Decepticons were running the show. Once Megatron intercepted the initial message, he put his plan into motion. If Hotrod and Daniel didn't sneak into look-out mountain, the Autobots would have been slaughtered without Prime ever knowing.

All these years and didn't know that
That's why him and Ironhide, his second in command, were kind of arguing. Ironhide had serious apprehensions. Also makes Primes line more important. "All we need now is a little energon, and a lot of luck"... They were desperate.
