Death of a Hero
"Transformers the Movie" is definitely one of my all time favorites. I still go back and watch it periodically to relive my kid days. The action and animation were good for the time. The music score was cool too, but I'm awaiting the DVD version which will put it over the top....I'm glad to see i'm not the only one that still gets choked up when Optimus dies. With that being said the best part of the movie has to be when the Autobots are getting pounded and Optimus says "Autobots transform and roll out..for the maybe the last time". The next scene is amazing as he rolls into battle, jumps up into the air, transforms, and starts blasting all of the Decepticons...As he takes that mortal blast and is lying on his death bed, my heart just feels heavy....Man i have to go and watch it again tonight.........*sitting here singing*.."You've got the touch....You've got the power!
