Really funny video announcing a tour of the 1986 film on its 40th anniversary. And look what they finally made into a toy. Where was my Matrix of Leadership in 1986, you idiots!

He is risen!
That's a great ad.
40 years. When this came out, It's a Wonderful Life was 40 years old.
Damn dude… spoilers.
Optimus's death never traumatized me as a kid despite seeing it 100 times. My parents told me they rebuilt him later, I guess. Now… revisiting it in high school and seeing magma come out of Prowl's mouth when he gets shot in the chest? That was pretty brutal.

Killing him is what it special and impactful. That movie is awesome.

He was the voice of Rodimus if I recall correctly.
Hot Rod was cool but I hear Rodimus sucked. Which is a shame, because him hearing Optimus' voice as he opens the matrix is one of the best parts of the film.
Still amazing they got Orson Welles to play a transforming robot for his last role before death.

He wasn't just a robot. He was a planet eating machine which befits his stature.
The first season of the Transformers cartoon had 16 episodes.
The second season had 49.
There are zero deaths in those 65 episodes.
In the first 30 minutes of the movie, you have the deaths of:
Brawn
Prowl
Ratchet
Ironhide - Damnit Prime, let me at those Decepti-creeps!
Wheeljack
Windcharger
Optimus Prime
Skywarp
Thundercracker
All of the Insecticons (very cool toys)
Megatron
Starscream
Any kid under 10 was scarred for life watching that first battle before they even killed Optimus.
Brawn, Prowl, Ratchet (worthless), and Ironhide all die within 30 seconds of each other. It would be like making a movie of the Superfriends cartoon, then killing Green Lantern, Flash, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman in the first scene.

Had to make room for the new line of toys.
Brawn, Ratchet, Ironhide and Wheeljack were pretty much in every episode too. Prowl and Bluestreak are pretty interchangeable but these were top cast members.
Allegedly the reaction to Prime's death is why Duke didn't die in the GI Joe movie.
Yup, they had to re-edit the movie so he lived.

Cobra Commander is the same voice as Starscream and there was an episode where CC was in a Transformers cartoon.
But I expect real fans to already know that.

The original Transformers cartoon makes me laugh as it was very obvious it was done on the cheap. One episode, maybe the first, had two Starscreams standing next to each other. Another had Starscream's voice coming out of another Transformer. I know the animation was done by a Japanese studio, but it must have been a bunch on interns.

Depends on how you look at it. A cheap cartoon or an expensive toy commercial.

There are several episodes when the same Autobots that are on a mission are also standing in front of Teletran One back at the base.
THat happened a ton in Superfriends as well.

Bruce if you haven't seen this, you'll love it.
Galvatron in the crowd cheering as the Decepticons are trying to rescue him from inside a lava pit takes the cake.
