  • when i watched this on vhs, it didnt have the cast list flying around, it had the story plot told by the narrator

  • This intro gave me creeps whenever I watched this movie. Granted, I was 7 years old, still seeing transformers dying was pretty freaky to me. XD

  • 2005 came and went, no giant robots, no giant transforming planet, very disappointing!!

  • Leonard Nimoy

    Eric Idle

    and Orson F-ing Welles , now thats a cast right there.

  • 2:57 CHILLS

    EVERY! FUCKING! TIME!

  • Can't even begin to express the AWESOMENESS of this movie! Love the old school Transformers!!!!

  • Vince Dicola was the soundtrack to the 80's.

  • I have to say, watching Unicron destroy the planet was horrifying the first time I saw this movie. It was unexpected, and there's a sense of hopelessness. Then the inside of Unicron...I thought of all the robots being processed. Then the music for the movie title popped up....and I was literally dancing to it pretending to shoot lasers!

  • Michael Bay Ruins everything !

  • @JoshuaPaulHollenbeck and you're a faggot! 

  • @DrDavidL come to Las Vegas, and meet me somewhere and say that to me, problem is , you wont.

  • @JoshuaPaulHollenbeck

    I will own you! You come here you little punk - YOU"RE SOFT!

  • @JoshuaPaulHollenbeck PROBLEM IS YOUR FAT!

  • @DrDavidL How old are you ten?

  • Michael Bay ruined a great idea

  • The theme song for this movie should have been used for the show later on.

  • xD "When are we gonna start busting Decepta-chops" lmao

  • Comment removed

  • You know, he wouldn't have to eat so many planets, if he would just turn off a few of those lights!

  • great movie,

    great soundtrack,

    good story.

  • Those first chords of music always give me chills...

  • 2:14 OM NOM NOM NOM

  • Orson Welles as Unicron, Leonard Nimoy as Galvatron, Eric Idle as Wreck Gar, Judd Fucking Nelson as Hot Rod. The voice casting agent was clearly coked out of his mind when he made this list. It was either inspiered or full on lunacy.

  • Get stuffed Michael Bay, there is only ONE Transformers the Movie, and this is IT !!!

  • Wow, shitty animation, it's like 3 frames per second

  • heres an idea. WHY DIDNT YOU GUYS USE "THIS" THEME SONG IN THE THEATER MOVIES?!! the themes song is what makes transformers authentic. or at least say the words transformers with t- pain auto tune to give an effect in opening or closing credits!transformers 1 2 and 3 is garbage w/o theme or remaster the toon movie.

  • this is how the reboot should start, shot by shot with CGI Unicron... you know what? fuck a reboot, we need this movie remastered in 3D (yes its absolutely possible for animation ) and put back in theaters!

  • wish modern cartoons were as well drawn as this.

  • BUT PRAM'!

  • " It is the year 2005 "

  • This is the most epic thing i've ever seen in my life. No intro to any movie can ever top this.

  • Not a transformers fan anymore (stopped keeping track after Transformers Energon, Transformers Cybertron, and especially Transformers 2), but HOLY SHIT this makes me want to see this movie again. I've seen it 34 times (I dare you to count the number of times YOU'VE watched it), but who cares, I've gotta see it again. One of the best movies ever right here.

  • @hybrinoid haha ive watched this so much i can quote the ENTIRE movie, no lie ive done it before

  • @BlakAttk O.O

    Okay, that is something I CANNOT say I can do. Good job!

  • @BlakAttk

    Me too, man. Especially this scene...I still remember seeing this in the theater when I was six...so much _death_ for a kid's movie. And so many crying kids being escorted out by their parents.

  • @hybrinoid You need to watch the G1 series.

  • @Trogdor81 I did...

    most of it anyway. xD

  • Kranix: Arblus, look! It's Unicron! He's snuck up on us!

    Arblus: He, "SNUCK UP," on us?! How did...REALLY?! He's bigger than our planet, for -- ugh...I hate you SO MUCH right now, Kranix.

  • I...EAT YOUR PLANET. I EAT IT UP.

  • this music pumps you up when you work out

  • Why does prime tell ironhide to "report to him" at once? Ironhide is sitting right in front of him! Can't he see Ironhide? Does he want Ironhide to SAY something in particular? What is Ironhide supposed to be reporting about? This scene has always confused me

  • @gokiburi666 He wants him to report on what he sees on the surveillance cameras he's been watching.

  • Micheal Bay you should have taken notes from this instead of making a garbage film

    This film is EPIC!!!!!

    \

  • Micheal Bay you should have taken notes from this instead of making a garbage film

  • 2:30 Unicron climaxed

  • HOLY SHIT!!!! SPOCK IS GALVATRON!!!

  • @Athlon2736 ; and Orson Welles as Unicron!

  • All i got 2 say is "AUTOBOTS ROLL OUT!!!!"

  • The first 5 minutes is better than both of the michael bay shitfests

  • micheal bay never saw transformers

  • "in the year 2005" looks like this is gonna be a documentary

  • The year 2005. OMG THE FUTURE@!#$@$

  • @HarmanSin Don't forget: this is Transformers technology.

  • @Trogdor81 You should see some of the human technology in this show lol, its like 20-30 years past our time.

  • Yay!!! I saw this at the cinema when I was about 7 or 8 and the intro was burned into my brain (loved it). Still think it's awesome. 1986 hmmm..feeling a bit old;)

  • So much better than the Michael Bay shit.

  • The level of storytelling and character in this movie is amazing. A true work of art. I've seen it all the way through at least 3 dozen times. I remember watching this for the first time when I was 10, back in 1987 or so, on VHS. HUUUUGE old school Transformers fan - hate the Michael Bay treatment!

  • @shincyriades ... I couldn't agree with you more! I was so pumped for the live-action movie...and then I actually saw it. What a disappointment!

  • @shincyriades

    Really? Did you watch the movie with its huge plot holes? Just wondering.

  • @Lanparth Sadly I have seen all 3 movies and still can't for the life of understand how he was allowed to make more than the first one. Jeez.

  • @shincyriades

    ... I was talking about Transformers 1986 dude. The new ones suck too, but you really give too much credit to the animated one from the 80's. It was not "amazing" storytelling. It was shit. Transformers have never had a good movie.

  • @shincyriades to be honest, they're good (except for ROTF) but I think the only things of transformers that are as good as G1, is beast wars, transformers animated and prime. Transformers War for cybertron, and soon, fall of cybertron, everything else, sucks

  • Definite anime inspiration :P

  • when unicron eats planet you can almost hear him say

    "om nom nom"

  • what are the autobot's machines building on the moon bases while lazer beak spys on them?

  • Unicron couldn't beat Chuck Norris.

  • 1:22 - I would not be standing their gawking at Unicron. My ass would be on one of those spaceships and on the other side of the galaxy.

  • the level of Animation is staggering... as far as i remember, this is a collaboration of American and Japanese Animators. the level of detail on Unicron, the art direction the sense of scale it all beat the Transformers movie by a MILE. Michael Bay doesnt know ANYTHING about juxtapositioning, he can only make pretty flashes of images with a lot of low key orange lightning. this movie looks really spertacular, the live action movies... with all do respect to ILM, Michael Bay killed it.

  • Pure classic...

    This scene will never leave me and is UNFORGETABLLE. Timeless, and Unicron owns your face!

  • That's one big mothafin transformer.

  • 3:56

  • lol in the year 2005....

  • The greatest of the Transformers movie.

    "Michael Bay must be stopped. No matter the cost."

  • 80s animation was best animation

  • Does that robot have a mustache at :57? Remember when that was normal.

  • They just don't make 'em like they used to. From die-cast badass heavy toys that FELT like you had something amazing in your hands to plastic fall-apart-if-you-breathe-on-t­hem-wrong toys, and now looking at this, man. THIS perfection, this amazing animation, to....pop star Transformers. How the mighty have fallen. At least Peter Cullen is still Optimus Prime. Otherwise, there'd be NO reason to go see them at all.

  • "It is the year 2005..." I remember thinking: "Wow, I can't wait to see the future!"

  • @fedner31 God, I KNOW! I remember seeing this in the theater and being SO freaking excited, lol. My mom and dad took me like five times, lol, makes me appreciate them so much more for putting up with me, lol! When they offered rewards for good grades back in the 80s, as so many did, I used to just ask for a new Transformer, and every birthday and Christmas was all the toys that had come out, lol, mom and dad followed the checklist! God love them. 2005. Man, time sure does go faster these days!

  • did you know melinda shankar did a voice in this movie?

  • What? They never mentioned Peter Cullen during the credits.

  • @timberwolf84 He and the rest of the original cast are mentioned at the end credits. I think they just listed the "celebrity" voices for the opening.

  • Unicron was an asshole, fake ass galactus. I loved the music for the movie, epic!

  • @Micol19

    Yes, Orson Welles. THis was his last gig, the big guy would die before the movie was even released. :(

  • The original classic... Hopefully the third installment of the live action movies will have more Transformers and less Sam Witwicky. More dialogue and character development for the actual Transformers. Plllleeaaasse Michael Bay. Tired of the life of Sam witwicky.

  • woah. orson welles?

  • live action films, first was awesome, second was bad, 3rd better be a major improvement

  • *turns back to 13yo and marks out*

  • Just the intro for both production companies is epic.

  • @dloch85 Yeah. Marvel Productions LDT doesn't even exist anymore.

  • show me a greater opening seen to a movie and I will suck your willy.

  • @ParkerFarker hahaha! <3

  • good movie, one major problem though.......THEY...KILLED....­.OPTIMUS PRIME!!!!

  • @roboguy75 to be fair they did in in the recent movie to cept they where to afriad to keep him dead hmmm deja vu anyone?

  • @roboguy75 Agreed, but they brought him back in the TV series.

  • the best transformers movie by far

  • That's it - now I'm going back to the 80's, and I'm going to stay there until something turns up that equals this.

    How come they made so many great cartoon series in the 80's and today there's only crap, crap, crap and crap? WHAT HAPPENED!!!

  • Michael Bay is too much of a nutsack to direct anything this cool for the 3rd flick.

  • it's really dark and scary until the stupid munching noise :s

  • 1:15 - "Marvellous! Look! It's Unicron!"

    How the fuck is that marvellous!?

  • @GregHadd He's apparently suppose to be saying "Arblus, look! It's Unicron!" I guess. :/

  • @GregHadd ROFLMAO! I think the other robot's name was Marvellous... if not, you got to remember, that was a research planet, so his scientific juices got all flowing and stuff before he realized "oh shi.... we is about to get eaten, RUN!"

  • @GregHadd

    He is saying his friends name, "Morbilus". "Morbilus, look!  It's Unicron!"

  • Mannyhe soundtrack is fuckin badass

  • Unicron vs Galactus

    :GO

  • Pretty good animation for the day, and I love the electronic voice-over when they sing the "robots in disguise" part. 

  • The movie took place in 2005, so while I was in college and barely scraping by, robots were fighting it out with a planet eater!

  • cant get more old school then this

  • I looove the beginning, the art for the star and Unicron is amazing!

  • no offence to anyone but i dont like michael bay's remakes they suck like the transformers remake and nightmare on elm street remake

  • Before Michael Bay, there was this version of Transformers... Epic win for its time, still a great hand-drawn animated movie today!

  • Ever noticed all the most awesome villains are introduced right away in their movies? Darth Vader, Unicron, Sauron etc.

  • The space scene at the beginning kind of reminds me of DBZ.

  • at the very begining one of the sounds for, marvel productions is a lightsaber!

  • this funny i grew up watching this and was upset when prime died punk ass hot rod he made a horrible leader

  • BEST TRANSFORMERS MOVIE PERIOD. If you was born after 86, you have no idea how big this was. I will watch this movie when I'm old and grey!!!!

  • @therealphlatlyne that's not true i was born in 1989 and i know this movie its the best

  • has anyone been to autobot city i have

  • this movie is so dope, if anyone agrees with me give me a hell ya!

  • hell ya!

  • first 2 minutes of music especially 0:43 give me chills every time

  • one off the best cartoon movie i have seen in my child years

  • If, and only if, they do Unicron in the third live-action movie, and make him look like the 1986 movie (a full-size planet able to possibly EAT Earth), using recorded words of Orson Welles to add dialogue, and make the transformation sequence look GOOD (including the planetary bitchslap), I will get down on my knees and kiss Bay's ass. Anything less, and I'll shove an electric cattleprod up his ass for ruining it all (minus Cullen, who's as badass as Chuck Norris)

  • FUCKING AMAZING. The song is sooooo badass.

  • The Original Transformer's cartoon and movie...the best ever.

  • This is Transformers!

  • has michael bay ever seen this fim? i guess not.

  • According to him, he only took the job because Steven Spielberg asked him to take the job. He didn't even know that Transformers existed.

  • Best and only real Transformers movie, and awesome theme!

  • They better have this damn song in Transformers 3, I was very sad it was not in either of the live action movies we have so far.

  • agreed, that movie would cause a whole new level of nerd if it had the song in it

  • Dude I waited all the way through the credits both times for it. . .

  • Michael Bay your Transformers 3 intro is right here buddy.

  • @conz000 His head is too far up his own arse to realize the truth you speak.

  • @conz000 I wish Michael Bay movies were never happened...

  • @Qaosbringer i wouldnt say that he has got some things right (just not enough). I wish Christopher Nolan could've done it seeing what he has done with the batman franchise it could've been interesting to see what he coul've done with transformers.

  • @conz000 nooo he will screw that up too

  • @conz000 naw it will have to have more EXSPLOSIONS

  • 2:33 EPIC GUITAR INTRO IS EPIC.

  • God I miss old school animation like this.

  • @ZDST Old school animation was mostly outsourced to the Japanese.

  • @ZDST, me too.

  • the part with the robot voice going "robot in disguise" always give me chills, good chills

  • TRANSFORMAAAAAAAAAS

  • who plays the intro song?

    its sounds like hammer fall or van halen

  • Lion

  • The theme is played by Lion

  • i think bay shood make the transformers look the same as thay did in g1 but just brought 2 life

  • the alternators models would have been so much better for the real-life films

  • Classics ftw.

  • they should just re-release this in theaters as the REAL transformers movie the bay massacre can fuck itself if it wasnt for naming the chars in those movies you couldnt tell who is who expect prime i mean megatron looks nothing like any of the other versions also the fact it takes HALF the fucking movie to even see a transformer is pathetic i thought the movie was called transformers not whiny bitch boy tries to impress this hot chick, oh it also has some robots in it...i think.

  • Lol...way to go buddy...agree...I pity those who do not know the origins off it. Those who are new to it may say...OWH...COOL...LOOK...THEY ARE TRANSFORMING...whoop-tie-doo..­.they can just go back to their dreamy CGIs...

  • megatron doesn't even transform in the live movie

  • Yeah he does, when he goes into space.

  • refresh my memory so I can go back and watch it

  • When the constructicons revive Megatron he transforms when he blasts outta the earths atmosphere and I also think he transforms when chasing Optimus before the forest fight!

  • thats soundwave not megatron

  • No, Megtron transforms and meets the Fallen when he revives. So yes it is him and not Soundwave buddy.

  • What they ought to do is just overdub a voice and instead of say 2005, set it for 20 years later, and re-release it into the theaters..that would be awesome to see it again on the big screen

  • You would think that a super-advanced race of sentient robots would have some sort of orbital defence system, or at least be able to see him mor than 2 minutes before he attacks?

  • well it's always the same you look for somthing constatly and nada, then the 2 seconds your not looking it shows up to eat your planet.......

    :P

  • lol that was always my problem with this scene. They know exactly who unicron is and yet don't seem to have any kind of defense in case he attacks or be able to notice a planet twice the size of theirs coming towards them.

  • That "It is the year 2005" line always cracks me up

  • Dude this way made 23 years ago, HELLO.

  • Its still funny.

  • 25 years ago

  • OMG, it was in production in '85 and released in 86. Transformers the cartoon made its debut in 84.Now THAT would be 25 years there buddy.

  • my brain hurts

    i cant comprehend stuff quickly

    the show started in 84

    im rewatching the show so im concentrating on 1984

    but yeah 23 years right?

  • Love how the time set for this was movie was 4 years ago.

  • Of course it's set 4 years ago! Don't you remember this happening!? I do I was right there in the battle...jeez you need to pay attention to current events

  • i heard a rumor they were gonna make this live action for the third transformers movie...im sorry but you can't mess with a good movie, but hollywood does all the time

  • awesome awesome awesome...power 80s intro smash in your face

  • Damn the new TF movie should remake this movie intro theme for it intro

  • blacklab did a remake of this that would fir in perfect with the new live action movies. check it out

  • READY THE SHUTTLE FOR LAUNCH
