I am 30 years old and I have to say when I was a kid that was the greatest cartoon. I have Transformers the movie from the Late 80s and still watch it. I even know the ending song when Rodamus Prime beats Galvatron. I know that all sound real kidish but that what I am at heart. I watched that show from begining to way after they canceled it. To me that was the greatest show in the world and then G.I Joe.
I can't wait to see this, there's been such a buzz about it for years now! Finally, movie special effect technology has caught up to the point where it won't look cheezy. The cartoon movie was great an all back when I was a kid but pales in comparison to what it really needed to be.
I'm a total transformers geek, I had every single one of the toys when I was a kid...and I mean all of them, including special limited production ones that I had to wait months for. I also had just about every other piece of merch junk that was on the market at the time. Then my mother gave them all to the kid next door and they were destroyed. What a shame.
Did you ever have the a big white jet? It came all metal and was very expensive at the time. I want to say his name was Jet stream. and no I am not talking about Star Scream. He only came out in about 3-4 eps but he was real cool.
The whole movie is like a GM commercial. One of the main characters is a beat up yellow 2nd gen camaro that gets reborn as a 5th gen concept Camaro. In the comic books, toys and cartoon he was a VW bug. There is also a Solstice (formerly a Porsche GT race car in the cartoons), a heavily modified GMC Kodiac and Hummer Rescue vehicle. They are all supposedly the good guys.
One of the bad guys in the movie is a Mustang Police car I guess.
Ironically, the Camaro is actually rumored to be a fiberglass body on top of a Mustang chassis built by Steve Saleen.
