Rating: 5.0
80's classic animated movie on a great special edition DVD!
In the future, Optimus Prime (Voiced by Peter Cullen) and his autobot clan fight against the Decepticons on Earth to fight for Cybertron. However there is a monstrous cybernetic planet called Unicron (Voiced by Orosn Welles) destroys everything in it's path as it wants to destroy both Cybertron and Earth for only one thing can truly stop this terrible fiend and that's the autobot Matrix of Leadership can from the darkest hour both robotic races could see.Exciting, action packed and grand Sci-fi animated adventure from Sunbow and Marvel productions is a great cult animated favorite. The film was gained terrible reviews yet beloved by fans of the classic TV toon and did bad business at the box-office however it has gained a huge cult following to this day. The film co-stars the voices of Frank Welker as Megatron, Leonard Nimoy as Galavatron, Judd Nelson as HotRod/Rodimus Prime, Scatman Crothers as Jazz, Lionel Stander as Kup, Robert Stack as Ultra-Magnus, Eric Idle as Wreck-Gar and Casey Kasem as Cliffjumper. It's very well animated for a theatrical animated feature from the 80's and has a cool music score by Vince DiCola with an awesome 80's rock soundtrack by Weird Al Yankovic, Lion and more. I love how this movie uses old and new characters for the TF Universe including one of the coolest bad guys to hit 80's animated movies also gives fans of the death of Optimus Prime which upsetted alot of young fans at the time but luckily he returned in the G2 Seasons of the show.This 2-disc DVD special edition has brilliant picture and sound with fantastic extras like both the widescreen and fullscreen versions with audobot Matrix of Knowlege Trivia and fun-facts, Featurettes, DVD-Rom trivia game, Promotional Trailer with Commentary, Deleted and Alternate footage with commentary, animated storyboards, Credit and Cinex test, Photo gallery, Scramble City Episode with commentary, Remastering side-by-side comparision, Audio Commentary, Trailer with TV Spots, easter egg, Japanese and U.S. Toy Commercials, DVD-Rom Link, and sneak peek and trailer to the excellent 2007 live-action version.
