WHAA!?! The Japanese CREATED Transformers! It was essentially anime from the get-go. Besides, am I to believe there is no love for the 1986 Transformers movie? I know there were a TON of 80's hair-band songs and all, but sheesh! I'll take Unicron over "Shia and the 'All-Spark'"ANY day of the week!

Besides: how can you not love a beginning like that? A planet-sized robot eating another planet.. BEFORE the opening credits?!? In the words of Maximus: "Were you not entertained?"

Besides besides: the ref is to 80's anime like MACROSS and MEGA ZONE 23 (specifically MZ 23: PART 2 - speaking of which: has anyone had nightmares regarding that scene? If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about)... of course you have some good serious and/or enjoyable anime in the 90's too (COWBOY BEBOP, OUTLAW STAR, GHOST IN THE SHELL, NINJA SCROLL to name a few).

Also, I'm not saying the lasers should "bend" like the GALL FORCE clips, but to capture that sense of scale and chaos in the battle more or less is what I'm aiming at.
