The Transformers: The Movie is a 1986 animated feature film based on the animated television series of the same name. The film was directed by Nelson Shin, who produced the original Transformers TV series, and features the voices of Eric Idle, Judd Nelson, Leonard Nimoy, and Robert Stack. It was also the final role for both Orson Welles and Scatman Crothers.
The story takes place in 2005, 20 years after the events of the TV series’ second season and serves to bridge into the third season. Set to hard-driving metal music soundtrack, Transformers: The Movie has a decidedly darker tone than the TV series and Decepticon villains that are more menacing, killing without hesitation. The film features several large-scale battles in which a handful of major characters meet their end. One of the intentions of the film was to rid the Transformers cartoon universe of the majority of characters from season 1 and 2. The 1984/1985 toy line was discontinued and Hasbro wanted to get rid of them to make room for new characters and toys.
After the writers of the G.I. Joe film got permission to kill of Duke, the main hero of that series, Hasbro insisted that the writers of Transformers: The Movie adopt the same fate for Optimus Prime, the main hero of that series. However, his death sparked much controversy and incurred a passionate backlash from fans. The film was a huge flop at the box office but went on to develop a cult following. It was also met with largely negative reviews with critics panning the animation style and Optimus Prime’s death coming as a shock to audiences.
