Transformers the movie. So much more than a long commercial for some toys.


AWESOME!! I grew up on the original Transformers. Cool flick, although it's been quite a while so I don't remember it quite like I did back then. Have you picked up the dvds yet?
I haven't got the DVDs because the TV show, although I remember it with fondness, where really little more than commercials for new toys and the animation and script were shoddy, but the Movie was fucking great, another league entirely, and I have it but only on VHS. I urge anyone who watched it when they were young to watch it again - it still packs a punch.


I remember that I was just at the age when people were starting to wonder why I was still watching it when the movie came out. So, unfortunately, I was kind of embarrased about it at the time. The show for me: I was pretty young so I didn't really appreciate the commercialism they were ramming down our throats. I thought that it was unbelievable at the time. However, I did notice a HUGE difference in the comic book series that Marvel was running. Was astounded at how dark and different it was.
