THE TRANSFORMERS THE MOVIE (1986) First Time Watch Movie Reaction! Peter Cullen, Leonard Nimoy

No one has said anything but I am gonna apologize anyway. We had a weird awful color thing in the intro of this video. Adobe Premiere kind of gets dumb when you swap between computers and it'll change your colors on you. Anyone who fell over at the ghastly sight of those colors... I am sorry.

Prime dying traumatized a generation of kids me included. Leonard Nimoy as Galvatron was awesome.

RIP, Orson Welles, Unicron, 1915-1985 RIP, Scatman Crothers, Jazz, 1910-1986. RIP, Lionel Stander, Kup, 1908-1994. RIP, Leonard Nimoy, Galvatron, 1931-2015. RIP, Robert Stack, Ultra Magnus, 1919-2003 Till All Are One.

I'm 41 and this has been my favorite movie since childhood. I watch it every few months.

"Arise Rodimus Prime" "I got goosebumps" Same here. Every single time.

This death of Optimus Prime is why he never stays dead anymore. The severe backlash to his death in this movie forced them to bring Optimus back to life about a year later, and every subsequent death has been very short-term.

Bumble Bee here is authentic. That's the real Bumble Bee not like in Michael Bay movies.

"This is not authentic!" A small piece of my soul died. Michael Bay movies gave Bumble Bee the Fox Deadpool treatment now everyone thinks that's the real "Bee" :(. Great reaction.

Starscream: "Who disrupts my Coronation!" Galvatron: "Coronation, Starscream? This is bad comedy!"

"The Touch" is the most memorable part of the entire movie. Everyone who watched this movie as a kid reacts the same when you mention this movie. They immediately sing, "You got the touch!" Respect the greatest soundtrack song ever. 🙌

For the record, Blurr’s voice actor actually CAN talk that fast. Pretty sure he holds the world record for that.

When he said “you don’t have the voice of a leader!” I smiled in GI Joe.

I can say now - as a 46 year old man - that watching someone else's reaction to this for the first time brings me joy, and at the same time, multiple eyes tearing up through this watch through

Things to know about this movie: 1. The soundtrack is amazing. 2. This movie caused thousands of boys to cry in the cinemas. 3. The reaction to Optimus Prime saved Duke's life in the GI Joe movie. 4. Fans have been arguing about who became Cyclonus for 38 years (Skywarp or Bombshell) 5. Everyone blames Hot Rod for the death of Optimus Prime. 6. Stan Bush has stayed a fan favourite and has recorded other Transformers songs over the years. 7. The first 20 minutes of this movie is essentially a bloodbath as they kill off the old toys to promote the new ones. 8. The line from Ultra Magnus "I can't deal with that now" has become a fan insult whenever someone discusses the character. 9. There are actually 5 Dinobots, even though only 4 are seen in the movie. The 5th one only appears in two shots in a blink and you miss them sequence. 10. The Autobot character Blaster existed before the movie, however, the tapes that came from inside didn't exist until the movie.

Back in 2005 my friend rushed into my dorm room and was like “COME TO MY ROOM RIGHT NOW!” I rushed upstairs and he played the intro of the Transformers movie. “It is the year 2005…” He had the biggest grin on his face.

So, fun fact; because this was a giant toy commercial (literally), the makers of the movie genuinely thought that killing off Optimus and bringing in Rodimus Prime was a completely fantastic way to introduce the new toy line they had planned. They really didn't expect everyone to hate it so much.

You poor poor people, thank God you finally watched the real Transformers movie. I always said the first live action movie should have been this movie done shot for shot and just put the soundtrack and voice overs on it.

Orson Welles voicing Unicron is legendary. It was his final performance before he died, and his poor health meant he spoke his lines in a bored, hoarse tone. But the kicker? IT WORKED. Unicron sounds like a god would; bored and so calm because nothing bothers him. Unicron is utterly terrifying and so iconic because of Orson's performance.

34:15 Optimus Prime was not a mere “robot” to us. He was like Captain America and the Batmobile all at once. Our beloved hero and a badass vehicle. We didn’t see him as only a robot. 34:18 yeah, that’s fair. He was revived in season 3 of the cartoon. After we cried to our parents and they wrote angry letters at Hasbro for traumatizing their kids, of course.

This is the definitive Transformers movie. The modern live action stuff can’t even begin to touch this.
