  • If it wasn't 4 Hot Rod steppn in when he did, Prime would've been outta there and so would autobot city. Optimus was the mech 4 sho' but I like Rodimus as leader 2, even tho' he basically whined his way thru season 3.

  • got this other day i had it on v.h.s and now d.v.d ya never 2 old 4 a classsic :) love it

  • You know I just realized something, Prime got shot 3 times or so and stabbed...couldn't fix him...Ultra Magnus fucking explodes...and these ghetto bots fix him like Lego's and even wax him and shines him up...So..Ultra Magnus explodes...lives...Prime gets shot...and dies...weird.

  • @Ben82077

    Careful, Hasboro agents might come and find you..

  • If Hot Rod hadn't gotten in the way, Optimus would've put Megatron down for good.

  • @MrCherryCola I am really getting sick of this. Hot Rod is NO WAY responsible for Optimus Prime's death. There's over a 20 second window between the time Optimus Prime points his flipping gun at Megatron and the time Hot Rod shows up to run interference. Plenty time for Optimus Dipshit here to pull that trigger at point blank no less. But Prime being Prime wastes this opportunity with lame and unneeded trash talk. Verdict: Death by Pure idiocy.

  • @2823peyton FUK HOTROD ..PRIME'S ARE KINGS :)

  • @stor857 Whether or not you like Hot Rod, he wasn't the one who got prime killed. Damn you fanboys are like rabid dogs.

  • @2823peyton agree with that completly i never said it was and be real with ya a like hot rod ..he classic transformer :)

  • @stor857 Yes I like Rodimus. And he only whiny when the plot was focused on him. Take the focus away from Rodimus and he was as competent if not more competent than his predecessor. In other words, he was only a pussy when the episode required him to be a pussy.

  • I just love how Rumble and Frenzy stand out for sound wave.

  • I never hated Hot Rod, just never connected to him as a kid like I did with Optimus Prime. I mean you knew who Optimus Prime was, but with Hot Rod, nobody knew who he was or where he came from. He just showed up out of nowhere. And I know it was to market the new toy line, but back then I was like who are all these new Autobots. I don't remember seeing them in Season 1 or 2.

  • You see, optimus prime dieing in this movie makes people emotional. Who the hell was crying in Transformers 2 when Prime died in that one? Just stupid Sam, everyone in the audience was just trying to keep up with all of the unnecessary explosions and who was punching who.....this movie is way better.

  • @Mufflerb Yea I remembered watching this when I was a kid and I was crying and crying. But with the Michael Bay movie and being an adult now it doesn't have so much of an affect on me as it did when I was a kid. Especially when I knew Prime was going to be back. Watching Prime die here back then made me believe he was gone for good.

  • @2010thekingofkings Actually here's how I see it. For your Generation Optimus was hero since you grew up with the cartoon and saw him develop as a leader and character so his death had an impact because it was like losing a close friend. In the Bay films none of the Transformers gain any character development so when Prime died u didn't couldn't give a crap. That's my guess becuz tho I'm a 90s kid both scenes have the same effect on me as they did you.

  • @2010thekingofkings Also that's another factor. In this movie you can tell he's gone for good by his body decomposing. In ROTF if you know your movie cliches you know Prime will resurrected later in the movie to defeat the fallen therefore for older viewers like u and I the emotionalism in Prime's death was ruined by the obvious conclusion.

  • @DemonicRemption Yea when he turned gray I bursted into tears. I thought it was sooo horrible. And I remembered running down the stairs crying to my mom, telling her they killed Optimus Prime!! They killed Optimus Prime!! And she was like whose Optimus Prime? Lol!!!

  • i dont care if he revived him later hot rod sucks hot cock childish bitch

  • Robots don't die, they just go offline

  • Hot Rod isnt all that bad, even though if he did and/ or did not get in the way of Optimus Prime, he runs his mouth too much...I think we can learn a thing or two about the loyalty of Soundwave, he knows his place and could never command the Decepticons...

  • why does everyone hate hot rod didn't he bring prime back to life after the movie

  • @TheMatt2391 Everyone hates him because that idiot hot rod got Prime killed

  • @chocolategirl5ify but he revives prime later in season 2

  • @TheMatt2391 Huh Thanks for telling me that!!! oh by the way have you seen that new cartoon Transformers Prime?

  • @TheMatt2391

    You mean season 3,

    The prime revival in season 2 is when the aerial bots go bakc and time and find out that prime is a reincarnated Orion Pax.

  • in 8:12 thumbs up if you think soundwave sould of been the new leader

  • PRIMES DEATH IS RODS FAULT! IF HIS STUPID ASS WOULD HAVE STAYED OUT OF THE WAY PRIME COULD HAVE DESTROYED MEGATRON! WAY TO GO JACK ASS.

    ON THE OTHER HAND IF PRIME KILLED MEGATRON WE NEVER WOULD HAVE GOT GALVATRON.

  • It's a damn shame. Sure they made boat loads of money but those last three Transformers movies that came out don't even measure up to this 25 year old cartoon movie masterpiece! BEST CARTOON MOVIE PERIOD POINT BALNK!!!

  • Had Prime simply shot Megatron at point-blank range, instead of running his mouth, he wouldn't have been mortally wounded (Hot Rod or no Hot Rod).

    Had Megatron simply shot Prime at point-blank range, instead of running HIS mouth, he wouldn't have been mortally wounded, eventually becoming Unicron's slave.

  • @MCWAY1 Either would have resulted in a really short movie. ;)

  • @MCWAY1

    I'm sorry, that sounds like you're trying to defend Hotrod...of course we all know you're not...I'm mean who would defend the killer of the greatest cartoon franchise of all time?

  • @diedahero Hot Rod didn't kill Prime. I meant what I said. Had Prime simply shot Megatron, instead of running his mouth, Hot Rod would have been a non-factor.

    Besides, I wasn't surprised. As I've said before, the promos for MONTHS pretty much spelled out that Prime (Optimus, that is) was going to get killed. And, in my opinion, he should have stayed dead. He doesn't fit with the newer Transformers.

  • @MCWAY1

    Oh, I could've cared less about Prime, I'm talking about how he sunk the entire Transformers franchise within two years of being dubbed, "The main Autobot."

    To hell with Hotrod and is overpowering lameness.

  • Don't astronuants just float in outer space when they are inside of the space shuttle? How does astrotrain have gravity inside of himself in outerspace?

  • @jamice4u Ever heard of imagination kid, or artificial gravity?

  • 8:30 If I were Astrotrain I would have jettisoned 'em all and continued on myself.

  • @jm113825 It wasn't just Hasbro, it was the producers of the film and TV series - they were looking for a "Wham" moment early on. Someone really should have warned them that what they were doing was killing off what to their generation would be the equivalent of Superman, The Lone Ranger, Commando Cody, and Davy Crockett all rolled into one in terms of what the character meant to the kids of that era. They admitted themselves that it might have scripted it a little differently had they known.

  • @turricaned One, nobody would be talking about this movie 25 years later, had Prime not been killed in this movie.

    Two, the promos pretty much telegraphed that they were going to kill Prime.

  • @MCWAY1 At the time they thought they were making an animated movie to sell toys - I don't think *anyone* involved thought that we'd still be talking about the movie 25 years later whether they killed Optimus off or not. Peter Cullen certainly didn't think so at the time, and neither did Frank Welker - indeed they thought it had been forgotten - just another day's work for them until their kids took them along to a BotCon. ;)

  • F U HOTROD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I guess they need to get ride of the extra weight. Due to the fact that Astrotrain was going to crash in the weightlessness of space. Even though space has zero gravity he still had a hard time flying???

  • @jamice4u Well, they have no weight due to zero-G, but they definitely have mass. Astrotrain probably didn't have the Energon to get them all back to Cybertron safely, so they'd have ended up adrift in space - not much fun!

  • @jamice4u I have heard that it takes less force to move less mass, he may have wanted to improve his gas mileage.

  • did any notice that ultra magnus put the matrix in two times

  • One shall stand one shall fall! Well 13 people obviously have fallen.

  • Comment removed

  • Hot Rod should of been killed. Proof this hold sup cuz I thought the same thing when I was 7! LOL

  • Soundwave as the new decepticon leader would have been interesting

  • @GamminKunt86 indeed

  • Optimus would of finished off Megatron had Hot Rod kept his nose out of it.You do more harm than good by interfering.

  • @BeckTurbo2008 Prime should HAVE shot Megatron, instead of running his mouth. Megatron was baiting him, to hit him with that laser.

  • pew pew

  • Megatron: ''Why throw your away your life so recklessly?

    Optimus Prime: ''That's the question you should ask yourself, Megatron.''

  • Till all are one.

  • Prime's death and Hot Rod's rise was a good message for kids. The message was, soon YOU will have to grow up and be a leader in place of the elders.

  • :( optimus

  • There where more injured than not.

    I say they jettison Starscream his Inflated ego ways the same amount as 20 Devastators

  • good ol' loyal Soundwave.

  • Damn Astrotrain should've just threatened to transform and let everyone else just float in space if he wasn't named the new Decepticon leader!

  • hot rod, you mess everything up. first u got prime killed, the touched the matrixed and made it think you was the leader. you ruine everything.

  • @mrkingkong2013 HEY no one can replace prime, But Im Happy Hot Rod got it instead of Ultra Magnus.

    GIVE ME ONE REASON ULTRA MAGNUS SHOULD HAVE BEEN LEADER AFTER PRIME AND I'LL TAKE IT ALL BACK!

  • 6:56 Wait a minute, isn't that the Shoop Da Woop sound?!

  • why pime had 2 die

  • @1Fuckahater

    New toy line was coming. So kiil every old Transformers.

  • Do any one get goosebumps when Prime transforms from truck to robot in this part of the movie? With the goosebumps saying " OHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHIT ITS PRIME~!"

  • prime turns grey when he dies

  • They should of had this song in at least one of the live action films :(

  • R.I.P. Orson Welles

  • Bewairz ma FOOOZJUN CANON!!!

  • fuck i hate hot rod

  • 0:00 It's when a warrior realizes that sometimes you have to go all out to win a battle instead of looking at the welfare of others. And that is why Optimus Prime is my hero. And he does it in absolute style.

  • Unicron Music=Epic

  • 2:49

    Optimus - "No way, fuck you, you just got me killed!"

  • optimus! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

  • For giant metal beings, those things are pretty mobile.

  • His point is there's no weight in space. But that's besides the fact, this movie fucking rules.

  • The only downside to this film is that it really should be called Transformers The Musical, since it can't help but play a freaking 80's tune every 5 seconds!

  • God damn it, hot rodd.

    Go die already.

  • no bumble bee?!

  • lol its funny how everyones trying to make excuses for why optimus shouldn't have died. ITS A FINALE!!!!!! big events happen in the final momments of a story, i think it was the right choice. the story they told hear was a powerfull one and in my opinion its still the superior film compared to bay's trilogy.

  • Hot Rod was some bollocks after that

  • 0:06 optimus prime was just in the back playing gta transformers edition

  • Jettison some wait?..... Um, your in space guy.... the weight won't matter. Infact you can turn off you engines and your speed should stay the same.... Loser

  • @luciferx10

    $10 says it was Unicron screwing with Astrotrain and Bonecrusher's brains. Uni KNEW that Megatron was injured and simply acted as a puppeteer to get Megatron under his control.

    "Jettison some weight!"

    "Survival of the fittest!"

    "I have summoned you here for a purpose."

  • @RickLowerboy84 Never looked at it that way. Good point!

  • @luciferx10 Generally...if you take off mass from a vehicle, it's going to be lighter, meaning less weight, less weight means more inertia and less energy that it requires to move and with that level of technology, that means pretty fucking fast.

    Don't you know about physics?

    It's simple, even a monkey could comprehend it.

    The lighter an object, the faster it moves.

  • @unionofonion Um.. sounding kinda rude. But debating is good. In space there is not weight, weight is based upon gravity correct. You would be correct if that was earth. But I'm not going to insult you. This is space. There's no friction in space or very very little, possible gravitational pulls from other celestial bodies, but once an object is in motion, it should relatively continue at that speed. You would be right if that earth. 

  • @unionofonion Newton concluded that acceleration (and not velocity) was proportional to the force applied to an object. Another of his laws was that once set in motion (such as when a spacecraft is coasting after burning its fuel), the object travels in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by another force.

  • Respond to this video...  Thus the zero weight of the Decepticons would have little impact of the movement of the ship.

  • I love the fact that the Constructicons speak like Classically Trained Actors despite being robots that turn into construction vehicles.

  • I now realize that it's not Hot Rod's fault. It's just bad writing. Optimus could have fired right away, dodged the shot and Hot Rod could have just shot Megatron in the back. The writers really wanted Optimus gone. Stupid writers.

  • @punkKid62 yeah..and the day after that, they got rampaged with millions of FURIOUS fans....such bloodshed...

  • fucking hot rod

  • Fear the Optimus Thud Gun!

  • In space, no one can hear "STAAARSCREEAAAAMMMM!"

  • @RickLowerboy84 They probably communicate through radio waves in space and we are hearing whatever their radio is picking up.

  • @RickLowerboy84 i see what you did there >.>

  • "Then it pleases me to be the first."

  • Hmmm 1:18 - Shoryuken!!

  • Dumbass Hot Rod. fucking idiot.

  • You got to love a guy like Starscream. He is the universe's ULTIMATE hater. LMAO

  • The employee of the month this month is Soundwave

  • 0.22 on the deleted scene story boards of Red Alerts death that scene is on it which 100 percent confirms Red Alert was killed in this movie and Sideswipe was involved with that scene so it was 100 percent not him lying on his back at the Windcharger/wheeljack scene. And at 0.37 you can see the huge internal hole that Devestator made going into that deleted scene

  • 0.09 simply epic

  • 3:11 Soundwave will always be my favorite =) his loyal. He could have left Magatron to die if he wanted.

  • Comment removed

  • OPTIMUS PRIME: BADASS

  • Wow Soundwave didn't save Megatron when Starscream kick him out of Astrotrain!!

  • "NO ONE SUMMONS MEGATRON!"

    "Then it pleases me to be the first."

    OWNED!

  • LOL Starscream @ 3:00

  • Just this scene makes the movie worth seeing over and over again.

  • yeah , FUCK YOU HOT ROD.

  • FUCK YOU HOT ROD

  • @suckafreesaint amen! But in hot rod's defense, Prime grandstanded when he should have just shot megatron cold.... like Megs did Ironhide....

  • @suckafreesaint

    Fuck you!!!! Rodimus is the man

  • @suckafreesaint SOUNDWAVE SUPERIOR! CONSTRUCTICONS FAGGOTS!

    

  • By the way, how the hell does Devastator fit inside Astrotrain???

  • @InsaneEric130 It's a transformer mystery we'll never know the answer to. It's like how Megatron shrinks when he transforms into a handgun.

  • Comment removed

  • "No one summons Megatron!"

    "Then it pleases me to be the first."

    Most badass line of the movie :D

  • Megatron: Who said that?

    Unicron: I am Unicron!

    Megatron: Show yourself...

    Unicron: I have summoned you...wait, what?

  • Comment removed

  • is that stomers voice from jem and the hologhrams cartoon? this movie is cool.

  • @mrlovetheblood yes, susan blu played both characters, Stormer and Arcee

  • soundwave, coolest character I think love this movie and cartoon

  • Prime prevented the rapture along with macho man and billy mays

  • megatrons voice is better than galvatrons

  • Megatron threatens to rip out Prime's optics, Galvatron would rip out those optics without even thinking

  • was working once and the little nurse like 4foot 9 was carring a big ass oxygen tank some dumb ass reason i seen rumble carring megatrons cannon haahahaha i seen too many cartoons

  • I lost my faith in robots the day Hot Rod had Prime killed and got hold of the matrix.

  • Optimus Prime's most badass moment of all time

  • I remember I was in the same situation as Prime back on 4th grade. A bully punched me down knocking the breath out of me on the playground. He said if I give up and I simply said, "NEVER!" and with both arms and hit him in the chest as hard as I could. To make it even better he fell back into a nearby tree badly smacking the back of his head. I never said I was sorry and the injustifiable detention was worth it.

  • When I was watching the series as a kid...I noticed, Megatron never yelled or insulted Sound-wave...ever, even when Sound-wave f--cked up.

  • Starscream: How do you feel ol mighty Megatron, EHH!

    Lol, loved the bitch-kick. I always laugh.

  • This fight should of lasted longer...I mean come on, it's Megatron and Prime...everyone has been waiting for this big fight and it lasts 2 minutes.

  • 6:55 I'ma Firin' Ma Lazar!

  • This movie is great because it does not just feel like a long episode of the show. Big things happen in this movie that change everything.

  • It's funny how it was vital for Astrotrain to get rid of Megatron and the other damaged Decepticons, but Devastator and Soundwaves tapes duking it out and shaking the entire ship? That was just fine. I haven't watched this movie in years, and it never occurred to me how sad it was for Megatron to be thrown out like ballast. Of course Optimus' death trumps all.

  • @dervish108 Not to mention there is no weight in space lol it would have made no difference to their

    flight throwing people out.

  • @ojideagu Well, technically, less *mass* means better propulsion (conservation of momentum). That's why rockets launched into space have several stages. Anyway, the cartoon world tends to muddle the true scientific terms and technobabble, but you know what he means, right?

  • @ojideagu Well, Starscream's always looking for an excuse to get rid of Megatron, it doesn't matter if it's genuine or BS. XP

  • WTF am I doing here??? I just listened to Command and Conquer 4 Tiberian Twilight OST!

  • 6:28 no !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i always like how even scrapper,shockwave, and skywarp, some of megatron's most loyal troops are willing to leave him behind, but soundwave grabs him and carries him to astrotrain

  • @devinmeenan shockwave was on cybertron... where he always was

  • I know this question has been asked 1000 times but I'm gona ask it again............Where does Prime's trailer go when he transforms?

  • @Dascorpio36 Up his Primed ass.

  • @epics7 Sick!

  • its funny how ultramagnus had an opening in his chest ready 4 the matrix

  • @mil3mindz I remember this movie during that 1986 yr. The first thing that came to my mind is the matrix was something like the Ultimate Nullifier that would destroy Galactus via Marvel. And Galvatron was pretty much a Galactus. A planet eater.

  • prime had everything under control until som gay got in his way

  • or havent watched the seires cuz they watched armada generation growing up

    i still love armada :/

  • "Constructicons unite!"

    "NO WAY!"

    Rumble and Frenzy sure can bring down a union uprising.

  • @GSPatton89 and all those decepticons fit inside a fellow decepticon.. astrotrain... let alone devestator... yet when in robot form he as tall as rest of em.... who knew...

    :)

  • @NostraDaley Yep Transformers defies physics especially when it comes to Prime's trailer and Astrotrains cargo bay.

  • i don´t know if the transformers recalibrated their pistolas for this movie or what... but you have robots dying left and right from laser blasts they shook off without a scratch in the cartoon series.

  • 5:42 = ridiculous foreshadowing.

  • Fuck mike bay and his shitty movies! This is the REAL transformers here. And all u kids that like mike bays bullshit movies can SUCK MY DICK!

  • LOL! " No one calls SoundWave unChrasmatic!"

  • Optimus 8 killstreak- time to call in the chopper support

  • noooooooooooooooooooooo prime

  • To my knowledge aren't Bruticus and Menasor more powerful than Devasator "The Most Powerful Robot!!!"

  • @RoninOmega7

    I think its something abominus has more destructive power but is slow, menosor has more defence on account of the personal force feild generator they have built into them, predaking is the fastest as all five if the members are predators and agree that the hunt is the most important thing while bruticus has more fire power. But at this timeline abominus hasnt been introduced yet, so it is kinda true. Not 100 percent sure about this though ^_^

  • @drillpill You're probably right , I've never really checked decepticon stats. I do remember in the show that you barely saw devastator after the other decepticon combiners were introduced. One question I've always asked is where was Omega Supreme, Defensor, and Superion? They were around at this time. My best guess is the moon bases.

  • @RoninOmega7 The Marvel Comics adaptation of the movie had Omega Supreme, Defensor and Superion defending the Ark from a simultanious attack by Menasor and Bruticus.

    The actual reason is that the movie had started production before series 2, and there was no real way to shoehorn the remaining combiner teams in by the time they turned up.

  • @drillpill Despite their strength, the Decepticon combiners were not without their issues. Menasor's components hated each other, Bruticus had a brick for a brain, Abominus was crazier than a ferret in a tumble dryer, and Predaking was allergic to Sky-Lynx...

  • @Penningtontj

    Did know about the last one. just started reading the idw verse all hail megatron. one word. SWEET.

    Didnt Computron take for ever to make a decision and superions weakness was, well, he thought he was superior?

  • @drillpill Yeah, Computron was slow to do anything because he had to crunch the numbers. Superion never really showed a weakness in the cartoons. Bio says his personality was limited so as to be a compromise with his components. 

  • I love this music "The Touch". ^w^

  • @eleky I know, I LOVED this song when I was 10. Saw this movie in the theatre... then Boogie Nights had to go and RUIN it for me! Now I associate it with Dirk Digglers 13 inch cock!

  • That sounds dirty. ¬.¬;
