Summary: Hair bands, Reganomics...and toys!?
Review: ...in the days of rip-offs and remakes, I feel that this movie still needs to see its day of being remade. But since that is not going to happen anytime soon, I suggest you purchase this wonderful peice of work. If your reading this review you obviously liked or loved The Transformers, so quite reading this and purchase it, you know it rocks. It doesn't have many "specal features" but if thats the only reason you purchase DVD's then I suggest you get out of your parents basement and get a life. Buy this and love it.

Summary: best transformers yet
Review: best movie ever I haven't seen it in over 7 years and I still can't stop thinking about the show. No matter what they do for the trans formers the first 2 seasons are still the best ones ever made and if the come back to show the old seasons i will watch then again.

Summary: Theatrical Re-release! Encore!!
Review: As something of an japanimation fan today, I went back to see this again. While it lacks the intense raw edge savagery and majic that are potent to newer MA shows like Outlaw Star, the sheer scale of the animation has seldom seen equal. I kid you not, some scenes are as intense today as those in Private Ryan. The robots are fed live into the evil of Unicron. I disagree with other commentators somewhat. The TV show and The Movie were spawn of different realms. I see the TF televised series as fitting with Justice League and Scooby Doo on afternoon TV. Kid stuff for when I was 8. But this movie belongs on every TF fan's shelf. It takes the energy of our imaginations then, and reminds us today of that world in a way we can understand now. I saw it in the theater, and its best enjoyed there! Something like the fun and fear of watching Army of Darkness... Unicron belongs on the BIG screen! Some movies, like TF and JP (Jurassic Park) aren't the same without the big screen. This movie was 20 years ahead of its audience! No one wanted to see heros die when we were 8! If you enjoy early anime - macross, gundams, or akira types especially - watching this rare gem from marvel comics animation, is as good as it gets. Go visit the friend with the HDTV set and surround sound, though! If you don't remember the transformers (do you even remember college after all those parties?!) the good guys have the red patch and the bad guys have the purple. 100% Classic! Support a theatrical re-release!! Oh yeah, cast included: Leonard Nimoy, Robert Stack, Eric Idle (Monty Python), Casey Kasem, Scatman Crothers, and Orson Welles

Summary: Good '80s action cartoon
Review: The movie is a classic as the animated cartoons in the mid eighties that I follow every day.

The Autobots led by Optimus Prime must fight the evil Decepticons led by Megatron in a battle that is stablished on Earth after the Decepticons forces Autobots to travel across space from their home planet Cybertron to Earth.

This long feature is quite different from the episodes that I saw in Spain.

There's violence in form that the leader of Autobots is killed by Megatron and after its succesor which makes me cry when I see it.

The plot is good with good f/x.

Good dvd.

Summary: Go....Transformers....Autobots...transform..and roll out!
Review: I just Love the Transformers...they are the reason..why I love being a kid of the 80s era...

the Transformers is what me made start watching Japanese Animes...I loved robots....and when I saw this anime..I was just hooked on it......it is a another version of good(Autobots) Vs. evil(Decepticons) type of battle.

there were a lot of robots..I especially like those transformers that combine into a bigger robot....the Constructicons, Stunticons, Combaticons, Aerialbots, and all the others.

this is a part of my childhood..and my past....so now that I'm 23..I still would like a part of my childhood to be a part of me now...to Rhino and Company....WAY to Go Peepps...You guys are the Best....hope you have more Transformers memories to release.

Oh and by the way...could you guys bring back the Transformers on DVD not VHS...cause a DVD lasts longer than tape..DVDs doesn't build up with MOLD...VHS does....that's how I lost my Transformers the Movie...from the MOLDS that accumilated in my VHS.

Thanks again RHINO....hope you cold also bring back...the SilverHawks, Sky Commanders, Challenge of the Gobots, Visionaries, and more TRANSFORMERS!!

Summary: BEST MOVIE EVER
Review: one of the BEST MOVIES EVER. It's got action, sex (there's that female bot whats-her-name) and bad language (Ultra Magnus: Open, damnit! Open!) perfect. Absoluly perfect!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I'd like my nostalgia with extra cheese, please ...
Review: This 90-minute commercial disguised as a kiddie flick seems somewhat less reprehensible in retrospect, now that most of the relevant product lines have been discontinued. But the animation is still cheap, the dialogue is still laughable, and the story is still incoherent. In short, _Transformers_ is perfect midnight-movie fodder, especially for children of the '80s (who'll also enjoy the nostalgia and the inappropriate hair-metal score).

The DVD features a solid full-frame video transfer with good sound, a nice animated menu, and even a few special features. It's a much better package than the film has ever received, or probably deserves.

For trivia buffs, this movie features the possibly recognizable voices of Judd ("the Dud") Nelson, Scatman ("Hong Kong Phooey") Crothers, Robert ("Unsolved Mysteries") Stack, and Leonard ("Spock!") Nimoy. _Transformers: The Movie_ was also the final screen performance of Orson Welles. Sic transit gloria mundi.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Stalk him, tear him apart, and destroy the matrix..."
Review: A little bit more violent than kids cartoons today, the original Transformers series was a landmark in animation and probably the best cartoon series ever made. In 1986, The Transformers movie was released, and TF fans worldwide were shocked, surprised, stunned, and overjoyed with the results. The storyline is set in 2005, roughly 13 years from the end of the second season of the series (where it left off before the movie). Megatron and his Decepticons have taken over Cybertron completely while Optimus Prime and his Autobots plot to retake their home planet. ... Transformers is explosive from beginning to end, ... Sadly though, after the movie the series was never as great as it once was. An ensemble voice cast including Eric Idle of Monty Python as Wrek-Gar, Judd Nelson as Hot Rod, Robert Stack as Ultra Magnus, Leonard Nimoy as Galvatron, and Orson Welles as Unicron. The DVD itself is a bit scarce with extras, but the storyboards for unfinished scenes that never made it into the movie is interesting. Highly recommended to those who remember their childhood.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Clean translation to DVD, few extras though
Review: This movie is a classic for any fan of the Transformers television series. It includes cameos by many of the original Autobots and Decepticons, a new, earth-shattering villain, and even occasional profanity from the characters when they get into a jam. There are also excellent voice roles by Leonard Nimoy, Eric Idle, Robert Stack, Judd Nelson and Orson Welles. The plot makes radical, permanent changes to the original cast of characters (some tragically) and introduces a variety of new ones along the way.

As for the quality of the DVD itself, both the sound and video are significantly clearer and sharper than the VHS edition. Fans who were disappointed by the murky translation to VHS will be pleased with the cleaner feel of the DVD.

On the down side there are minimal DVD extras other than a storyboard and a "transforming" main menu. Sadly, it includes none of the additional material that was included in the European release of the movie.
