ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Transformers the Movie Review
It’s 2005. Unicron is eating planets. Optimus Prime and Megatron finally go all the way. Hot Rod gets the Matrix. A lot of your favorite bots do not make it to Season 3. In this episode of Rodney Stewart Reviews, Rodney covers The Transformers: The Movie (1986).
This is the one that emptied the toy shelf on purpose. Death, upgrades, Unicron, Quintessons, the Matrix of Leadership, “You got the touch,” Orson Welles as a planet-eater, and a tone jump the Saturday-morning show was not built for. Some kids never recovered. Some fans still argue about Hot Rod.
Rodney goes through the plot, who dies and why, Optimus vs Megatron, the Autobot shuttle massacre, Junkion and the Sharkticons, Galvatron, Rodimus Prime, the animation and music, what the movie does to the TV continuity, and whether it still works as a feature or just as the most famous toy-line funeral ever filmed. Straight talk. G1 context. No soft-pedaling the body count.
