Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaScatman Crothers' final role to be released in his lifetime. One more film, Rock Odyssey (1987), would be released a year after his death.
- Goofs(at around 20 mins) When Optimus Prime arrives at Autobot City and begins wiping out Decepticons, he is seen shooting Soundwave. However, Soundwave is clearly seen later on unhurt, carrying Megatron's damaged body.
- Alternate versionsMetrodome Distribution released a 'reconstructed edition' of the movie in September 2005. The film was completely restored from the original film image for this DVD release. Metrodome went back to the original 35 mm (1.33:1 ratio) full frame negative and placed it within a widescreen format of 16:9 by creating an anamorphic transfer that respects the film's full screen format. The result is a side-curtained 1.33:1 image within a 1.78:1 ratio that fully preserves the entire field of potential viewable negative and presents the complete image with the maximum amount of visual detail possible.

Featured review
give this one a break
It was 1984. I was a young lad of 8. Transformers had long been my favorite afternoon cartoon, then I went and seen the movie. Itwas friggan great. It was actually the first movie I can recall that I got to experience an on screen death of a character that I cared about. I remember almost shedding a tear at the death scene of Optimist prime, then the nail in the coffin. I heard one of the characters (brain fart, cant remember name.) say "Dammit". A tame word by todays standard, but enough back then to get a PG rating, and for a character in a cartoon that I had only known as squeaky clean to swear, made them seem more human to me than ever. great movie, the animation is dated, and the plot is alittle shaky by todays standard, but for its time, it was the most amazing thing American kids had ever seen.
