Transformers The Movie Commentary Review

is now on DVD and for the first time. When I

did this one line that fans seem to remember

and like, there was an eruption of cheers and

applause. Hello and welcome to All Things Transformers.

This is a very, very special 30th anniversary

episode because, folks, three or four days before

this aired was the 30th anniversary celebration

of the release of Transformers the Movie, the

single greatest thing in the Generation 1 cartoon

continuity. I am, of course, TFG1Mike. Steve

Megatron is off... He's on the Cybertronian assignment.

Who knows where he is? He's off doing things.

No! I'm here! Oh wait! He's here! Yay! So Steve

Megatron is actually here, folks. We will return

you to our regularly scheduled program with DJ

Valentine and I from Simplistic Reviews. But

Steve is here because this episode... This very

special 30th anniversary episode will actually

air August 9th, 2016, which is your eight year

anniversary of all things Transformers. Happy

anniversary, you old rubber ducky loving dinosaur.

The network has been around less time than this

show. Yes, right. And this show just will not

die. We've turned it into a Transformers zombie.

We've tried to set it on fire. We've given it

a hate plague. It just won't die. It comes back

by popular demand, both myself and the listeners.

Yeah. So 30 years since the I find this absolutely

hilarious. I was six and three quarters when

this kid or no, I was with this August. I was

about six and a half or six and three quarters

when this movie came out. You were about a month

and a half old. August 8th, 1986. Yeah, it was

about a month and a half. You were about less

than a month and a half old. I was five weeks.

I was only five and a half weeks old. And I watched

Transformers. Have you seen the Shout Factory

YouTube video of them talking about the 4k transfer

for the 30th anniversary DVD Blu -ray steelbook

thing? I haven't had a chance to watch that.

I did watch the trailer for it and I really love

the new art and the fact that it's on Blu -ray

which I will I will probably pick it up at some

point at this time my funds are very stretched

since this point I don't have any but um yeah

I definitely want to add this to my collection

because I have the Sony release of the film uh

so it was a nice release when it came out and

I bought it for like $11 and I found it at like

a camera and I was like it varies like I don't

really I'm like, the last time I saw this, it

was bootlegs. And the last time I saw before

that was a VHS tape. And so yeah, she just let

me buy it. But I've had that in my collection

for years. And now that the Shout Factory has

come out with all their other stuff, I'm like,

I must have it. Because I like having both versions,

just like Rhino and the Shout Factory of Beast

Wars. Yep. But uh, yeah, I I love it for the

for the features It's funny because transformers

I'll watch any of the special features that even

the commentaries and stuff but if it comes to

any other franchise I to I Won't do it It's something

about transformers that just intrigues me to

the point that I am interested Yeah, absolutely

I love the Michael Bay films, then I don't care.

Moving on. Transformers the movie, 1986. Oh my

god. I recently had a conversation with my buddy

Jesse, who's one of the local radio people here,

about if you could ever... Like, we always ask

that age old question, if you could go back and

live in a certain decade now, like at your age

now, what decade would you go back to? And I

asked him, I said, no, forget that. That's too

general. I said, what year? Is there a specific

year from your childhood that you would go back

to as an adult to be able to live through that

year? And I told him mine was 1986 because I

would have loved to have seen this thing in the

theater. That's, you know, that's the one thing

that I didn't get to do. with this movie. Maybe

if ticket sales were better, they would have

put G .I. Joe in the theater. No, they wouldn't

have put G .I. Joe in the theater because they

had to have Duke come alive because Optimus dies.

Flint Dilley sits there and kills Optimus and

then everybody loses their minds. Transformers

the movie 30th anniversary celebration here on

all things transformers the special all things

transformers episode I wanted to bring Stephen

here because this is his technically eighth year

anniversary that we're releasing this and Yeah,

DJ and I are gonna have the commentary here in

a minute I do have one funny joke and you were

telling me off air about the the screenshot of

when Rodimus or not Rodimus Hot Rod first grabs

the matrix and he turns all blue with the glow

and I was like and my mind went to the gutter

immediately and I'm thinking Ultra Magnus cock

-blocked him and gave him blue balls with the

Matrix because Hot Rod was the rightful heir

to the throne of the Matrix and Magnus is a glorified

soldier and The Matrix likes people that aren't

leaders to become leaders. Yeah. And then Springer

cock -blocked him later with RC, but that's a

whole other story. But at least Rodimus only

spent his entire leadership role trying to get

Optimus Prime the Matrix back. Yeah, true. All

right, so. You had said that your funds are severely

lacking, like all of our funds are these days.

We do have a person, not here currently on air

with us, but we do have a person that has said

every time that we get a new HTTF online, that

that person will make a donation. So maybe that

person can donate the money for you to get the

Blu -ray, DVD, whatever the hell, for Transformers

the movie, the 30th anniversary edition from

Shell Factory. Who knows? Christmas in September

for Steve, yay. All right, folks, we're gonna

get to the commentary. I did kinda cut audio

around this, so we're gonna get back to your

regularly scheduled program with DJ and I, and

just to let you know, folks, this commentary

of Transformers the movie, we're basing it off

of the 2007 Sony Wonder release, because at the

time of the recording to celebrate the 30th anniversary

of the film's release, the Shot Factory set is

not out yet. So we are going off of that, and

if you have weak constitutions, don't listen

to this, because this commentary might be the

most blue commentary I have ever done in my podcasting.

We make so many innuendos and don't jokes, oh

my god. The beast unleashed. Um, I don't know.

You'll have to listen and find out, but I'm not

sure. It comes close, because I mentioned the

fact, because actually what happened was, and

this is kind of a funny side story now, after

DJ and I recorded this, my girlfriend Jen, we

were talking online and doing the Skype video

thing and all that stuff and everything else.

She's like, what day would you say we actually

got engaged? And I'm like, I didn't think that

happened yet. I mean, I know I kind of fakey

proposed to her and that kind of stuff, just

kind of joking around. Uh, and she's like, why

don't we just make it today? And I'm like, okay,

so we got engaged August 9th, 2016 on your eight

year anniversary. Yes, thank you, and I mentioned

in the commentary to DJ I said when I showed

Jen the movie because I'm thinking you know she

showed me stuff that that she loves I want to

see what why she loves it and vice versa so I

showed her the movie and when we get to the part

where wheelies like you know you get ship if

I get trip and I told I told you guys will hear

me say to DJ in the commentary, but since Steve

wasn't there I said to DJ. I said when I showed

Jen this movie. She's like that ship is just

a giant dick and i'm like yeah you're kind of

right so yeah but it does get wedged in in junkie

on so uh we're gonna get back to the regularly

scheduled program right now folks thanks for

the rollout yeah roll out of your own balls that's

what she said So I've got my buddy DJ Valentine

here from the simplistic reviews podcast. Hello,

sir You assured me now you assured me there is

no Michael Bay anywhere near this right? There's

no Michael Bay Who I don't recognize that's all

you that's the right answer that's the correct

There is no there is no shooting for the wallet

with this There's okay, I don't I don't know

if you ever saw it I don't know if you ever saw

it, and I have to have Steve find it, but a couple

of years ago, I think it was either when Dark

of the Moon or Age of Extinction first came out,

and I know that was two very different times,

but when one of those two films and the Bay films

came out, I think it was Age of Extinction. Our

buddy Ender basically said somebody should make

a image of Michael Bay with a harpoon. that basically

he harpoons Optimus through the back of the head

so the harpoon comes out of his face and it has

a wallet on it so basically shoot for the wallet

and Ender says, yeah somebody needs to make that

image and I'm immediately DMing Steve because

Steve is our art guy and Steve does all really

kind of cool imagery and stuff like that and

I'm like make this happen. now it about it is

going to be said so so funny we took out to steve

does cuz i i don't know listeners those that

see you make it sure on he does his is overall

favorite character from the stores is david case

these words megatron of course and steve has

the voice down i mean she's been doing that voice

for a long as time we've interviewed david k

twice the first time we interviewed him and i

had steve do the voice for Wow, that's almost

like talking to myself or something. It's like,

wow, that's the best impression that David Kay,

the guy that actually has the voice of Beast

Wars Megatron, he said that's the best impression

he's ever heard. So Steve does the voice for

Beast Wars Megatron and... Every now and then

he'll he'll do these really really weird random

things and it's just so awesome And I'm like

no shoot for the wallet. Yeah, that really works.

It is just really a fun overall image So we are

here not to talk about the 20th anniversary of

Beast Wars Which is also this year, but we're

going to talk about the 30th anniversary of Transformers

the movie now I know in episode 55 of ATTF version

3 .0 Steve and I said that we were going to be

starting to do what we're calling ATTF or when

we bring people on and talk to them and ask them

essentially 20 Transformers questions of how

they get into the franchise and all that stuff.

We're not gonna really do that here, because

what we're doing here is a commentary on the

animated film, but I will kind of ask you, and

we'll have you back on for the more detailed

questions, but when you first saw this, how big

of a Transformers fan were you when you were

a kid? I Begged and I pleaded Miss prime generation

one toy and I got it and I was good for the entire

Rest of the year. I was so happy. I mean it was

my my weekdays were pretty sad. It was GI Joe

Transformers And then I just go into the Disney

afternoon stuff. So, I mean, I'm a huge huge

Transformers fan of the generation one stuff

and especially this movie this movie is kind

of like the Dally for me for my like the apex

of my love because after this movie came like

Rodimus is Ryan and Galvatron Saturn and it was

just like oh no, I where's optimist and they

bring back optimist and he's a zombie and like

oh So this is the apex. This is the apex of my

transformers love As you guys will hear later

in the commentary when we start talking about

the film, I am one of the biggest Hot Rod Rodimus

fanboys ever. See, we're gonna have a problem,

because Rodimus was enemy number one for a very

long time for me. Okay, but see here's the thing

and here's the difference you have okay? Yeah,

you can sit here and say oh It was because they

were doing a new toy line, and they had to kill

off the yeah that that's the Hasbro company shit

Okay, so but with this for me in the context

of the story is you have the old leader dying

off passing on to a somewhat dumb really really

horrible uh... leader in alter baghdad's cuz

he can even get the damn thing open robertson

robertson for christmas it's robertson we'll

talk about that yeah but you know in you know

a season three goes you have ronimus trying to

basically acclimate to being a leader he's just

thrown into this i mean you know it's not like

he like optimus has been doing this for Two thousand

of the four thousand year long war of the transformers

who knows who knows how long ago It was that

and I'm sure people are gonna comment and say

oh, it was this long ago of when Alpha Orion

patches days Yeah, yeah, so that's what I'm saying

is like See, you know going at the end of the

movie into season three I still look at it as

Rodimus is still trying to find his way as the

leader He's still trying to live up to what optimus

was and he never can quite do that Because optimist

was optimist so I really don't give You know,

I really don't give a whole lot of you know Negativity

towards yes season three is bad But it's not

Rodimus's fault. It's everything else around

him. I don't want to get into a Rodimus rant

here. I'll probably wait. I'll probably wait

till it happens, but I don't blame Rodimus for

his reign. I blame him for the death of Optimus

fucking Prime. That's why I don't like Rodimus

Prime. We'll get to that. All right, folks, we're

going to hear a clip. We will do a countdown.

and then you can start your DVDs, your onlines

and whatever else. Now I will say that what we're

watching this on is the 2007 25th anniversary

Sony Wonder version. So the 2007 version because

as of this recording we are about a month or

so away from Shout Factory. Shout Factory releasing

the 30th anniversary. Restored 4K video. Everything

is correct. Hot Rod isn't pink. He's magenta

the way he should be. Just everything is correct,

and people are gonna be like, but TF2 and Mike,

why didn't you just wait for that DVD? No, no,

no. We're doing this because the 30th anniversary

of the film's release was two or three days ago.

That's why we're doing this. I also promise,

as we were about to play this, not to repeat

every single line before it happens. I can't

promise all of them, but there's certainly a

lot. We're just going to be going back and forth.

We could do a stage play of this fucking movie

if we wanted to. Oh yeah, essentially. Pretty

much. Absolutely. So like I said, you're going

to hear a clip. We'll do a countdown. And then

you guys can start your DVD, VHS, Blu -rays.

Oh, it's not on Blu -ray yet. South Factor hasn't

released it yet. But you know what I mean. You

start your stuff. So we'll be back after this

with Transformers, the movie, 30th anniversary

celebration DVD commentary. This is getting expensive.

In three, two, one, click. We have the. D .E

.G. logo coming up, DeLorenitis Entertainment

Group. The thing about this movie, this is the

first movie I was escorted out of. This is also

the first movie I was crying in and they are

not mutually exclusive. That's funny. This guy's

voice, the 2005 guy is awesome every time. Victor

Carolli, yeah. I know he is up there in age these

days, but I would love to have an interview with

Victor Carolli. Oh, I used to work at a Suncoast

video store. It's kind of a video store and we

get to pick which movies to play for the customers.

And anytime I worked, it was Transformers the

movie. And like my boss didn't understand why.

But I'd have people walking back and forth going,

cool, man, you're playing Transformers movie,

man. I had somebody the other day. I was wearing

my um my The Malmachian my ripped apparel sure

to bring him cats. It's it's alf spoofing the

Martian I'm walking down the street and some

guy Don't even know the guy just walking by he's

like is that elf on your shirt, and I'm like

yep It's always cool when people notice certain

things It's the first time you get to see animation

of this level for Transformers, so. Yeah. I mean,

the Season 1, Season 2, it was okay for television,

but this is like... Glimmering metal and stuff

like that? You didn't get that. Yeah, this is

monumental, and he's inseminating himself into

that planet. I've never heard that term before

used for Unicron Tech on this planet. He's essentially...

Yeah, he's sucking them into himself. To think

that, I mean, when I was little, I didn't know

who the hell Orson Welles was. And then when

I got older, it kind of dawned on me. The man

who made Citizen Kane is the villain in the Transformers

animated movie. It's like... Shut up. It's amazing.

Yeah, it's awesome. Designed, too. I mean, at

the time I was watching Transformers, I was also

reading combos. Look at the munching on the...

Unicron and Galactus are very synonymous, so...

Except for, Unicron doesn't work hands -on. Thankfully

Unicron never got turned into a cloud. Oh hey

look, he's energized! He's ready to spew out

his energy there. Oh, look at this guy. This

song right here, holy crap. Did you know that

there's a version of this by Stan Bush and Vince

DiCola? Oh, but they did Okay, I I have I don't

have a quote -unquote close personal relationship

with Stan Bush But I've interviewed the guy like

over ten times in the last seven years on geek

cast radio That's a pretty good relationship.

I'd say Any time anybody comes up to me and I

mention Stan Bush and they roll their eyes, I

just want to basically make orange smoke come

out of their mouths, like when Prowl dies. Because

Stan Bush is more, oh hey look, Mr. Spock. Stan

Bush is more than just, you know. This, I mean,

yes, this is his kind of bread and butter. This

is his go -to thing for, you know, his quote

unquote popularity. But there's more to the guy

than just Transformers. There really is. His

last three albums have just been amazing. In

this life, dream the dream and the ultimate.

Hey, look, Micro Machines dude. Hello, John Machida.

I used to grow up with Micro Machines too. I

was like, hey, I know that guy. I know that guy.

Yeah. Laser freaking beak. Yeah, there's no way

I cannot sit here and quote this movie. It's

just so quotable. The year 2005 was like my in

my head all the time. Just imagine that was 11

years ago now. I want I want a flying tape recorder.

We're coming out of his head The great iron high

the great optimist prime you just got this I

had um Start with it. What's the name of the

one that uh? They always looked after Cybertron.

He was never on the show He was always looking

up as he has the one I like I was calling What's

his name shockwave? Yes, I had him Soundwave

is the cassette. No, it's a shockwave the toy

for shockwave Was the most the big space good

it makes the cool noises. I love that toy They

have made so many cool third party and an actual

Hasbro Versions of him over the last few years.

It's amazing Hey look Hong Kong Hong Kong food

number one super guy come on He has the shining,

you know There's a I might have to put this in

the end Yeah, spike I might have to put this

in at the end when I interviewed Phil Lamar the

couple times I've interviewed him one point I

had him do an outtake of I asked him What would

I Phil Lamar scat man? Oh, I gotta hear it because

He was he Phil Lamar ended up being animated

jazz and the transformers animated 2007 cartoon

right right right so I'm like did they want you

to do your own thing or did they tell you to

do scat man he's like once you get scat man in

your brain there's nothing else so I did my own

thing but he did scat oh my god I died there's

shock right there shockwave next to sound wave

and my favorite decepticon of all time that son

of a bitch Starscream yeah always love a Starscream

I actually interviewed Starscream's daughter.

Abby Collins Cluster, she was Chris Lada's daughter.

Not was, but yeah, yeah, and that was very interesting.

I'll have to go back and send you that link so

you can listen to that. So back in the day, there

was a crossover between G .I. Joe and Transformers,

and it was Cobra Commander. Like that would be

only human. Yeah, it was old snake. Yeah old

snake Commander where they turn Rodimus Magnus

RC and Springer into humans and I love that episode

That's one of the reasons why I defend season

3 is because of it has that one episode This

killed me isn't when I was like what what's happening?

Wait, I like brawn. No this was the culling as

they call it in back in the day he only gets

shot in the shoulder he shouldn't even be dead

hey man you can hit with a megatron blast you're

dead i mean they kill prowl like bye i didn't

understand fire in his eyes when the childhood

i i grew like hair at this point where it was

like death Have I been introduced to death? Through

Transformers of all things. And Ironhide, who

was like a mainstay, just gets done so dirty

in this scene. Look at Starscream. He's holding

Megatron like he was a friggin' Colt 45. Look

at the kickback on that. He's Dirty Harry, the

Transformers. The Autobots here. The Autobots

moon base. Hit Starscream. No, okay, we're doing

it we're doing I Mean that's a bad way to kill

That's a second in command that catches one like

that. That's amazing to me. Here comes your boy.

Yeah Best character in the whole movie best new

character. I should say Poor the guy like I like

to call cup cup. I think was my favorite new

character He's got the Obi -Wan thing going.

Oh There's a little dynamic here that Daniel

is bored by fishing and hot rod loves it and

then Daniel's excited by Spaceships and hot rods

bored by it. That's a little cool pretty good.

Yeah, that's very very interesting You know,

you'd think though that that fish would be super

minuscule next to hot rod Like I I get it that

they want like I mean he shouldn't be that big

cuz I mean hot rods here It should be the smile

the smallest ever seen or that is the biggest

fish you've ever seen much This effect I don't

like hot rod but this right here One of the dopey

shots in the whole movie. Yep Run Little hemi

rattling there Autobot cities just I mean this

animation right here especially for the first

half of this movie backgrounds are amazing Yeah,

there's my boy. Here comes my boy He's gonna

get run his ass over Turbo Revan young punk I'll

straighten out yet. Why are they putting barricades?

No, I really understood why they were doing that

but uh, no It's transformation right here by

hot rod. It's dope too. That's cool He is the

one character the entire film that has at least

seven different transformations different like

80 I'm like, I'm like, yeah, I think I like his

transformation when they're on quintesson when

they're dealing with the quintesson. That's a

yeah. Yeah Start screaming up back What's a darn

fool doing? This is a kind of an ode to the Trojan

War here They say a lot in the optimist first

Megatron's little Hector and Achilles fight going

on Well the whole thing earlier when Megatron

shoots Ironhide That's essentially Luke Skywalker

as Ironhide, right? Now this shot here is another

one where your boy your boy has to be rescued

by my boy here You'd think he'd move out of the

way though. I mean, why would he just stand there?

But yeah, he's supposed to be fast. You think

he'd like it's supposed to be So For the 2007

Transformers animated Cartoon Network series

done by Matt Youngberg and Derek J Wyatt and

all that they came out with a blitzwing toy that

had three faces I Got it for Christmas. I think

2009 I nearly ripped my entire left thumbnail

off trying to get that package open. I hate modern

day Transformers toy packaging. You gotta use

like a knife. Yeah, exactly. Let's burn rubber.

I had a friend who had Perceptor and I... I just

thought he was lame because he just... Microscope!

But I like the character, as I've grown older

and more mature. See, when you're a kid, you're

just like, I want a car! I want a gun! I don't

want the lame -per -microscope guy. Yeah, I'm,

uh... I'm gonna say transform auto -notes today.

Is there a radio prime for reinforcements? Or

you can help me alert the others. Okay, so I'm

gonna point this out. I don't know. We've done

comment not you and I but on the network We've

done commentaries of this before Hot rod and

RC essentially have two of the same powers They

have the x -ray vision thing his is blue and

yellow and hers is like hot red hot pink right

so That and the way they do the whole family

dynamic with the two of them and Daniel I always

thought that hot rod and RC were the couple And

Springer was the home wrecker coming in, hence

why I've never really liked G1 Springer. See,

I always thought that, like, when that scene,

uh, she goes, no, I think to, uh, uh, rescue

you is, is where it shows that Hot Rod, you're

too young for RC. RC is with you. With a man.

Springer is like a man. See, Hot Rod is like

a teenager and Springer is like a man. Oh, my

foot. City never seen this before this was dope.

Yeah, this is amazing. What is going on? This

is awesome. I want that toy Jay gun with the

shine on it. Yeah Megatron this blasting fools

I Mean, I know he's a few feet away from that

door, but look how big he is compared to the

base door I know it's a whole depth perception

thing Yeah Megatron's a badass I always like

bombshell. I don't know why Now this is another

death where you forget they murder these insecticons

This one is dead there's no that one that one

could have made it but this one's dead there's

no coming back from that That's a death blow

if I've ever seen one There's so many hidden

things in this in that scene just there like

various like like I think Ironhide's body shows

up in various versions of the film and things

like that and that one scene that they show the

city before we get here and My longtime childhood

friend. I haven't seen him in years my long -time

childhood friend Jonathan Bond quite literally

that was his we we had a lots of James Bond jokes

for He had sound wave with all the cassettes

and I had blaster and I as much as I love blaster

when it's I always felt I always felt jaded because

blaster was you know the ghetto version of what

sound with the the coolness of sound wave Rumble

frenzy ravage ratbat eject ratbat was new for

me. I was like who's rap at? Yeah, I was never

really a big fan of blaster. I was more I mean

I would say I was interest Was had their own

cassette guy, but yeah, it's always it's always

gonna be sound wave man This can I mean I love

them both equally now I mean I love sound wave

a little bit more But I love blaster and his

cassettes and sound wave and his cassettes all

equally. I just don't get into all those variations

like like what was it after season 3 it was like

I don't know if it's like shot kill or slug beast

or whatever the various toy like it made him

complicated. Yeah, the stuff that wasn't on the

show. No way two can play. One of my favorite

lines in the movie. No way two can play. They

have a dissolve in the movie. Uh faith to black.

This is how long this battle's been going on.

Yeah, it's gonna kill off another iconic transformer

just off -camera. We didn't see a we just see

a body on the floor Oh Yeah, it was a wind charger

and prowl that's coming up actually RC is gonna

be dragging their bodies. Oh my god. What happened?

Yeah Let's see One on oh, we'll Jack we'll do

that in the corner. Yeah, I was like I loved

wheel jack Why is the wheel jack dead and I did

not know this is the culling I call this movie

the culling kid dropping all of the generation

one I always snark smirked at this Daniel trying

to help move this thing. I'm like As much as

I am all for kid power, I'm sorry. The hell that

kid is gonna be able to move. He's just supposed

to be our cipher to be like, oh, I wish I was

in the Transformers world when I'm little. When

I grow up, I'm like, man, I would not want to

be anywhere near the city right now. I do not

want to be that kid. No. Great shot of Megatron

here. Love that. Devastator. Cup already knows

cup is like seasoned veterans like oh here it

comes I Love Devastator's voice too Good old

Arthur Berg hard. I believe his name is great

voice very menacing just it fits his size One

of the coolest fucking lines in history by the

way, I have better to do tonight than die I First

of these die in a cartoon, which is very rare

back in the day They use a lot of things in this

cartoon, in this animated film that's very rare

for 1986. And we'll get to the other ones later.

There's already the... This movie is the... It's

a common knowledge that this is kind of... The

effects that this movie had on children changed

G .I. Joe the movie. We've already... That's

like well established, so... Yeah, absolutely.

Duke got to live because Prime got to die. Let

the slaughter begin! Great shot here, that's

scary as hell. And then just transitioning right

to Megatron with the fusion cannon. Yeah, just

like that. Just struck my Devastator. Grimlock,

fan favorite. Yeah. Missing one dynamite who

shows up in one shot. One shot later with Sludge,

or not Sludge, no, Snarl. They're missing Snarl

here. Yeah, Snarl gets one shot later. There's

Sludge in his Looney Tunes moment. Yeah, that's

a Looney Tunes moment right there, if anything.

You know, Slag is the only one that really gets

any damage in. I was hoping Swoop would get some

more. I love Swoop. I've always loved Swoop.

Now you understand, this one, this hound in the

background, you never see him again. Hound and

Sunstreaker this song here was like my anthem

for a while and then I got older and I saw boogie

nights and I was oh no, and I'm wondering like

The song from transformers the movie and boogie

night I didn't understand Look out thrust. Sorry,

buddy. Yeah We're coming up to one of the greatest

Fight Great shot. I didn't know optimus could

do that. I had the trailer and his little wheel

guy that came out of the back Yeah, good old

roller Prime does mowing cats down like just

yeah bring them down great line here Apparently

there's a shot they cut there where he prime

kills a dude Yeah, I don't know I I've never

seen that confirmation I always hear that and

I'm like it makes sense because they cut to a

close -up where he's like lift sitting back up,

but Every time phone check right in the face

But wait, there's more lightsaber action Yeah,

where did he pull that from where did he get

it was it was next to him Great shot that yeah,

that was always a really great shot the uppercut

from Megatron going down this whole Sequence

here with them the two of them fighting just

absolutely Optics which is like great optimus

with To sit up and fling a dude who and the proposition

optimus was he sits back up and it cups like

kill him Do it now Shoot that dude don't waste

no time and here comes your boy. Here comes your

boy. Okay now here comes your He was trying to

help didn't need to I know This suit is Megatron

lift his arm. He's shot right there. She wouldn't

have the rest of the movie if hot rod didn't

interfere here Oh god, it kills me and that this

ladies and gentlemen is why I do not like This

shot for the end of time was in my nightmares.

That's Prime never acknowledges him in this whole

movie except for the very end. Yeah Great shot

of Megatron battle. Yeah, I love having that

shot. Yeah Great. Oh, that's here wasn't books.

I'm too. Oh, I thought it was I thought it was

two things But yeah, it's just one small cliff

What I'm hoping in the 30th anniversary and hopefully

when I get to interview Brian where you saw just

there when hot rod runs up the black shadow on

the right side of the screen. I'm hoping they

fix that because I ever since I was a kid, I'm

like, why is there darkness there? It's just

so weird. Mommy, what is that? I'm trying to

cover up. There's a bunch of odd about bodies

over there. They don't want you to say star screen

kicking Megatron while he's down astro train.

Astro train was my outside of sound wave. His

cassettes astro trading was always my favorite

decepticon. I love love that guy. I love rumble

carrying Megatron's blaster. I love that Can

you not like cup? I've never said I didn't like

up. I'm just saying for me personally You like

the pretty boy, that's what it is The pretty

boy. Now here's this. I might tear up a little

bit here. So this, this, this. Oh, stop. It's

30 years old ghetto. You can't heal these wounds,

man. You can't heal these. Oh God. There is an,

there was an image on Facebook that I forget.

I'll have to see if I can find it again. But

there was an image on Facebook about once he

goes gray. Oh God. It is low. And that's the

first time you've ever seen that effect on a

transformer. So when that happened I'm like this

This movie introduced me introduced me to death.

I Mean, I think this is like maybe the second

movie I've seen in a theater I think first was

ET and I didn't understand what was going on

But I was I mean I was kind of like, okay What

is this and then I grew up with optimist so for

him to go gray like this I mean, this is what

I was escorted out here because I was Balling

and screaming and kicking and I don't know what

the hell was going on. What do you mean optimus

is dead? You can't kill it with Daniel goes optimus.

You can't die. I'm like, yeah Yeah, I don't know

I know there are multiple versions of the script

of this movie before they came to what the final

version was. As a kid, my best friend Nicholas

Minicello constantly told me there was a released

version of this where Hot Rod gets the Matrix

immediately. Ultra Magnus never does. I don't

know if that ever happened. I don't know if Nick

was lying to me or whatever else. This is technically

the first time we've ever heard about the Matrix.

Love this scene. There's a lot of symbolism in

this shot. Other than the fact that Hot Rod catches

it first. When Ultra Magnus tries to put it in

his chest, it doesn't fit. That's called symbolism.

It shows that he actually already has it in his

chest. The animation's kind of off on that. I

always like to think of it as symbolism as he's

not fit to be the leader yet. Like it's like,

yeah, see it's already in there and then he has

to put it in there again It's like, you know

double double penetration You're killing me smalls

you're killing me Where the rest of the transformers

are they all dead or this is like waiting outside

there most of them are all dead At least the

ones on earth we could have ended here and I

I Guess we suppose that Ultra unicorn has some

kind of psychic abilities because he's like a

billion light -years away from this and he sees

everything like he has a camera set up in the

building You know Jenison some weight and this

is always makes me laugh because they're it's

space so you don't have to worry about weight,

but whatever I always laugh. Well, okay. Yeah,

technically How else we're gonna get rid of the

of the nays else will they ever finish the culling

as I like the culling must continue and Technically

all the bots that got kicked out got turned into

the new cast. So for the Decepticons, so I don't

know. Don't do this. Thundercracker, Skywarp,

Wait I Still Function, another one of my favorite

lines. Wanna bet? Yeah. I still function. Wanna

bet. How did he become leader? I love him because

there's no way he should have became leader I

guess because he's smarter than everybody else

left other than sound wave I'd say So because

they just start fighting and then at the end

of the day at the end We never see the end of

the fight and then he's just the leader Have

you seen the Transformers Prime episode minus

one it was in season it was in No, no, Transformers

Prime, the latest, the last animated show before

Rescue Bot, well, during the same time as, before

the current Robots in Disguise one, the one with

the big animation, the one with... Is that the

one? The one where, spoiler alert, I guess, where

Bumblebee dies at the end? Yeah. Yeah, I probably

have to, I've seen a lot of that show, but yeah.

Okay, so there's an episode of that show called,

it's in season three, it's called Minus One,

where the whole series of that show, Soundwave

does not talk at all. He's nothing but silent.

And Ratchet and the Autobots need to make him

talk. And his, and we have the Megatron Unicron

thing, which we'll talk about here in a minute,

but his thing at the end, he's like... He puts

this smile because his face is nothing but there's

just nothing there. It's it's essentially he's

essentially blank from Dick Tracy So he puts

on this weird smiley face saying Soundwave superior

Autobots inferior so it basically mimics the

line This scene oh my god Orson Welles just rolling

out of bed I say proceed your way to oblivion

and natural procedure way to oblivion is a great

line, which I did at the time know what the hell

oblivion meant, but I was like, that's cool It

always makes me a little bit sad because I mean

I don't care what you do and I love me some letter

Nimoy Frank Welker will always be Megatron to

me always Yeah, every and this is another thing

and we can argue about this day and night everyone

bitches about Frank's Galvatron in season three.

I love Nimoy in this movie, but The crazy Frank

Welker Galvatron in season three. I love that

even more because you see the downward spiral

of the after effects of what happens is essentially

getting thrown out of Unicron's ass. There is

he's essentially the herald of Unicron. He says

he's just he's the silver surfer. Yeah, he Looks

yeah, he looks dope right there. Oh, that's awesome.

It's like no we're not done yet this yeah, I

love this transformation this whole thing I'll

have to show you after after we're done with

a commentary here shout factory with their 30th

anniversary release and restoring doing the full

restoration how much difference of detail In

this scene compared to what it is in the 2007

25th anniversary at all That 30th anniversary

DVD is gonna be so amazing for this movie. I

can't wait for that to come next month What if

there's a way I mean because you have so much

leeway and animation and I guess it requires

love And I know they're touching up everything

you can actually because it's animation You got

the voice and you could actually just completely

redo this whole movie with like this type of

Take freaking forever. I guess would you want

to always have it? You would you don't want to

have a 3d drawn You always want to have it hand

kind of well, they found They found a very clean

Like never before in some warehouse box clean

I think 35 millimeter print or something or other

for this and that's what they're going off of

to restore it to do the 4k thing and whatever

whatever shot Factory is doing with it and Just

from that one video I saw of the restoration

the the side -by -side comparison. It's so much

better It's gonna be that there like I said the

30th anniversary DVD is gonna be so much better

destroy Oh man this scene here Coordination Starscream.

This is bad comic. It is a great great death

scene right here. Just a great way to introduce

Galvatron as being a badass Here's a hint is

this Love the head love the crown by the way,

I don't know why Galvatron broken. It's a great

crown. He doesn't need no damn crown He's built.

He has a crown built in It does, yeah. This is

my coronation. Coronation stuff scream. This

is bad sodomy. The armoured version of transport.

Fucking coronation. Bitch. Hold this. Yeah. Disintegration

second gray and graying and he goes out worse

than the optimus. Yeah disintegrate Yeah, I was

like they killed Starscream I Just imagine you

get after this you kill Starscream you kill optimus

Optimus comes back as a zombie in season 3 and

then Starscream come back Yeah. Floating or he

he's ghost dad essentially in one of these seats.

Oh god. Starscream is Bill Cosby. It all makes

sense. It all makes sense. Cliff jumper in so

much gas right now. Oh, we forgot. Oh, we were

talking through the countdown. I'm like, hey,

look, Casey Kasem doing his countdown. earlier

in the uh when the shuttle I can't believe I

forgot about that. Sorry Shaggy. I love that

transformation by blaster. Every time I hear

Robert stack I laugh because I think of airplane

Because Robert stack is hilarious an airplane

I remember when this movie first came out the

there was news reports about its Warning parents

about the violence and the cursing because this

hadn't this was new. This was They didn't do

stuff like this of cartoons were like rainbow

bright the movie and you know, it was very very

gay happiness When you hear oh shit, what are

we gonna do now? It's like wait, what? If this

doesn't stop it nothing will Well, we'll be talking

yeah, he can talk yes, it's a voice Just don't

even. Don't even. Just say it. I will reach right

through his computer and force choke you immediately.

Just yamming up moons. Oh, Unicron doesn't give

a shit. He's like, look, look, I'm hungry, man.

What y 'all doing? I'm gonna take these moons

out real quick. We did it. Stephen Tennant. Shit,

what are we gonna do now? That was like on the

new they played that on the new they bleeped

it but they played that scene on the news and

it was like There are various versions where

it's either cut out or it's bleeped. I hear it

now When I first got it on VHS, it was just like

like you The blank spot and you just hear what

are we gonna do now? Now you think the other

Decepticons can see this red light or is it this

all in Galvatron's head? I Think they can see

it because they see the effect like they can

see that it's essentially unicorn reaching out

and torturing him So I think they see the effects

of it and we'll see that later in the ship here

In a later scene when he said along to him that

that line No, the we belong to him happened just

now but the one in the ship where he's like take

me to Unicron take me now. Oh, yeah Springer

does a badass. It's like look this is bullshit.

We're all gonna friggin die am I going Panicking

You have better things to do today than die.

You should just keep saying that over and over

and over again. Yeah So one good line springer,

let's keep saying that line. Yeah Crush you just

like make a drunk crush pride. Don't die try

great line by ultra Magnus here This was always

weird to me the head popping out of the back

out of the bag. Here's the family. This is the

you better stay close to me. Yeah, wine that

this is where I was like, yeah, Rob, you ain't

getting that. Call her about five years. Me Grimlock

not nice Dino me bash brains. Bites them on fire,

yo. He kills this one right here. This is death.

Yeah. Yeah. Goes down, explodes. Boom. They ain't

coming back. Yeah, no. This Ultra Magnus just

gets fed up like, forget it. Screw you. I'm doing

it myself. Oh, Pot Rod, you get the Dinobots

aboard and get out of here. Okay, now can we

talk about this, please? We just saw Springer,

Blur, Daniel, and RC all running together to

get to the ship. Right. About three minutes from

now, or a minute and a half from now, we're going

to see all of them on the ship, but RC. Somehow,

she gets separated from the group. Springer grabbed

her. In the rush, Springer grabbed her and was

like, yeah, you come with me. Well, like we just

saw them He was like hey, hey look over there.

Yeah, put it like a chloroformed RC and took

her out of the cage The boosters for Cybertron

say I was I always wanted these ships. I think

they sold them out Yeah Like see they're all

there and then RC's not there, but they but she

was running with them earlier So how the hell

did they get I mean, I know this giant fire You

know glass and stuff and then all of a sudden

she's like out in the middle of nowhere She had

to call her mom tell her she's gonna be gone

for a couple days, you know I'm running off to

Vegas with a giant green robot mom. We're getting

married. We're getting married me in this group

This is the fun part. That's why I was like all

springers hitting it Right there, I was like,

okay, that's it Springer he's in Yeah, pretty

much John Hamm that girl. Hey That's just No

Those ships are cool, man. I like those. Yeah,

and now for the Luke Skywalker scene This is

the training ball sequence. Yep. Love how Snoop

gets hit here, and he's just like, just tell

me, I don't care. I just want to know. OK, OK.

Was there an episode where they explained what

petro rabbits were? No. You look sound like you've

looked many times. I don't need to know like

I don't need an explanation for petro rabbits

I don't know what petro rabbits are I Don't know

you add an L on the end of that and make them

petro rabbits or gassy rabbits Now I don't want

to know Oh, this. See. Oh, so awesome. I mean,

they just got these ships and they're effing

them up already. I didn't know what the hell

that meant when I was younger. Basically, it's,

you know, positive and negative, negative and

positive. Oh wow. Forgot how bright that was.

She's very boring to beat Megatron's like second

in command. This is like standing there watching

them push buttons. Push the green one Galvatron.

Push the green one. Oh, cyclonus. I wish he would

have talked, but I'm kind of glad that he doesn't.

And Roger Carmel, I believe, is the one that

does the voice in season three, and I just love

the season three voice for Cyclonus. Yeah. It

always weirded me out. I was like, wait, what

planet is that? Where are they? That's not in

our solar system. Where are they? And space was

so colorful and blue. Like, wait, is it back?

It's green. Yeah. Springer's Line. Cup and hot

rod just bought it. I can't deal with that right

there. You're not a leader Yeah, and deal with

that now three of your best friends were just

murdered. Yeah, whatever. I gotta get out of

here Up hot rod and four of the five Dinobots.

Yeah, I can't deal with that now I Like the ultra

magnets, but like where they go they can't see

that they went like left in a little shuttlecraft

over I guess not This is the scene I was talking

about where he says the Autobots have been terminated

Scourge says that and then Galvatron says and

the matrix with them and that's where This is

where he gets tortured again. Oh, I Have to say

is you missed they're in a shuttlecraft seem

that he can see everything say they keep going

forward there they're behind the rubble and Leonard

Nimoy, who makes it. Parents and a Transformers

movie directed by some guy. Nelson Shin, no.

Are you wearing lipstick? What do you think about

that? I don't really want to get too controversial,

but most people do know that Sue Blue is a is

gay. so Not that there are any other female transformers

around in this in this movie, but hey who knows?

Oh this great scene Robot fish eating other like

There ain't no finding Nemo here folks. This

is like Phantom Menace No, there's the fish eating

other fish All right, all right. I'm like, wait,

how dare you? Just, no. Love this. I was like,

oh man. This is another reason why I love Hot

Rod, the razor blade weapon. Did the toy come

with this? Did the toy come with the razor blade

on? Not the original, but I believe the masterpiece

one does. Oh, I see. Another transformation.

Now have you seen what he looks like now the

new the new hot rod yes, I I took a whole Facebook

status post and made a blog post out of it I'll

have to send you a link later my reaction to

it and basically it's an overall discussion of

the last because next year It'll be ten years

since the 2007 live -action movie, so we've had

ten years of bay. Oh jeez He hasn't even been

married for ten years A robo squid robo robo

ink. Yep Y 'all cuz I'm like, okay cup is in

really bad shape here. Why can't they fix? They

fix ultra magnets in cup who's been like laid

to waste And they lost limbs. Yeah, like both

of them lost limbs and they're able to repair.

I mean, I get really quartered freaking ultra

magnets practically. Yeah, I mean sweeps exterminated.

I always want to know when with those bubbles

coming out of cup where from because he doesn't

breathe oxygen. Yeah, they don't breathe. Well,

I really tend to think that the Pete you know

the the creators putting various humanistic things

into these things is that's their way of saying

hey This is kind of like you yeah, but ever like

that like though like the like the liquid the

leaking out of their faces like Megatron Yeah,

like liquid coming from his mouth and eyes and

stuff. Yeah The sarcastic Springer I'm okay.

That wouldn't have saved you. You have a piece

of. Daniel, you've crushed me. Now, how many

of us actually wanted an uh uh uh exosuit? All

of us wanted one so bad. So bad. Though it doesn't

it seems like it'd be super dangerous if you

transform incorrectly you would rip off. Yeah

Cool just think about what you want to do before

you do it Look at this vert. I mean, that's like

30 feet just leaps killjoy ultra magnus he's

like everything he does is like damn ultra magnus

killjoy party pooper good old monty python showing

up no one expects the uh junk yawns All for expires

while you wait. Operators are standing by. Robot

goatee, I can dig it. and the voice of Cup is

in Once Upon a Time in the West. Little Lionel

Stander. The bartender. And I was like, I remember

watching that movie. I'm like, hey, it's Cup.

Yeah. Look at that. That's a cool transformation.

Yeah, that was really cool. Cup has some cool

ones too. I had one of these ones. I never had.

They're like three different types, I think Yeah,

there's these there's these shark decons and

there's the other ones that they show and then

I think there's a third one These are like Gators.

Yeah Have you ever smoked a ninibong I used I

use a universal greeting. We all we've all used

it at least once or twice Yeah, there's a whole

transformers fan page on Facebook called Bob

Weep Grown Up Weep Ninny Bong and they post a

lot of cool Transformers stuff. They've done

it over the years for a long time. This is getting

expensive. I use that line when we review Transformers

comics. I have the episode open with that because

Transformers comics, there's just so many of

them now. This is getting expensive. Oh hey look,

there's another character that nobody likes.

Wheely, the Jar Jar Binks of Transformers the

movie. Wheely! He's ten times better than Jar

Jar ever could hope to be. I did like his little...

Slingshot? Jubilee to Grimlox Wolverine in this

movie. Yeah, yeah. The creators of the Autobots

here. Both Autobots and Decepticons. according

to the G1 cartoon. This is all brand new. When

this first came out, I was like, wait, what?

First off, they're other robot planets? Take

it off. Yep. Guys. Mm -hmm. I have nothing but

contempt for this chord. It's a great line that

he says later I love. Yeah. My favorite one that

I use all the time now is what Kranick says before

he ends up... Getting killed. Spare me this mockery

of justice. Yes, grace. Spare me this. He has

a little Willem Dafoe to his face there. I see

a little Green Goblin in that face. Yeah, a little

bit. If Willem Dafoe didn't have a giant stupid

mask on his face. 2002 standards, they could

have done. Green Goblin a hell of a lot better

than. I mean, they shown the mask that they had

the kind of realistic mask. Oh, love that. Whatever.

Like this whole. What are you supposed to say

to live or? You're not gonna live at all. What

is the What is there a point and the whole backwards

thing of being innocent means guilty? It's like

opposite day But no they say I think one person

says guilty they kill them some places as innocent

and they kill them Love the fists clenching on

the bars there Oh, there's swoop your boy just

scouting the area checking it out Me swoop no

see nothing swoop no see nothing Somebody was

having a this guy was asking me this and they

asked me which you might you're probably able

to know that the Dinobots are they Indestructible

when they're in Dinobot form, that's why they

stay in Dinobot form or dinosaur form I'm not

sure. I mean, you saw they got their asses handed

to them by Devastator, and they were in. They

never transformed out of dinosaur form. Um...

There are varying interpretations of it, I guess.

In this movie specifically, I'm not sure, honestly.

I think it's more to do with their powers, like

as robots all they can do is everything else

that the Transformers can do, which is basically

just shoot guns. So if they're transformed in

the dinosaur form, in their alternate form, Grimlock

breathes fire. They all breathe fire. Well, at

least Grimlock and Slagg breathe fire in this.

You know and Swoop has his missiles that he flies

in with later and all so I'm not sure if they're

indestructible I know they're not as indestructible

as the junkie ons are later. I like they're like

zombies junkie. Yeah TV zombies The oh the junkie

ons are the walking dead walking dead Grimlock

our Galvatron is Negan. They're all coming together

Tear them apart So brutal that's like whoa, that's

intense man, you know Unicorns advice for getting

a woman stalker It's like, oh, that's a little

bit out of bounds there, Unicron. You might want

to shut up. Perhaps I missed. They're about to

kill them, and they're like, oh, somebody's coming.

Let's just hold back a little bit. Let's wait

for them to get messed up, and then we'll attack

them. Ultra Magnus has his... in here. Mm -hmm.

There goes the shuttle. I'm pointing out the

eye. Springer's is a cosigner, his whole life.

Transform, transform. How do you do a transform?

Or you can let me get in you so you hit your

car. Oh, forget it. Human germ. Let me get in

you blur the fastest orgasm in the world. One

second, done. Good night. There they are. Oh,

this movie looks so good. I cannot wait to see

how much better it looks with the Shout Factory

30th Anniversary Blu -ray DVD steelbook. Look

at this. He essentially shoots them in. There's

no moment and I love how he talks to himself

at all Open damn it open Looking for the finger

holes ultra Magnus use logic Spock is right across

from you. We use logic. I Love how Galveston

that calls out to a Magnus Another other another

urban legend that it was they didn't shoot him

and originally they ripped him in half or ripped

him in pieces Yeah With this I shall make you

my Slave now have they ever explained the correlation

of you know? Exactly the same okay, you're asking

have they actually explain the correlation of

Unicron is his master? No, the matrix of leadership

and Unicron share a very... they resemble each

other. Well, it's the one thing. It's the only

thing that can stand in his way. It's the one

thing that can destroy him. I don't know off

the top of my head, but I'm actually going to

look it up. Maybe I can look it up after we finish

the movie and we close out the podcast here,

but... I'm not really sure what the correlation

was between Unicron and the Matrix other than

the simple fact that it's the one thing, the

only thing that could stand in his way. Because

essentially Unicron is ultimate evil and the

Matrix is, you know, good and wisdom and all

that stuff. Demolition Derby. Gotta love a Demolition

Derby. This shot where he, there's a shot coming

up where I think it's hot rod i believe start

to cut in the mouth and they're keeping oh it's

a brutal shot yeah yeah i love this shot here

where they they come up out of the out of the

water and all that and yeah you don't talk about

running people over i mean come on yeah flip

transformation haven't seen that before Didn't

even bend a fender I Mean rips his tail off which

was the toy you could it it came off automatically

with Yeah, no, it's just so awesome. I mean,

this guy, I don't know how he's not dead. Grimlock?

The guy under the door should be like, oh, under

the door. Yeah. It should be paced at this point.

The whole scene with Grimlock here. Me and Grimlock

want to munch metal and then see. Seeing the

camera inside his mouth and just seeing the terror

on the shot When I interviewed Greg burger, I

took that line me me Grimlock not bozo me king

I had Greg say it as me Grimlock not podcaster

me King. I would love a shirt that was Grimlock

and said me Grimlock not Bozo me Grimlock King.

I love a shirt like that. That's a ship So I

showed my fiance Jen this movie a couple months

ago and The ship that they end up taking When

it lands she essentially basically is saying

oh my god. It's it's penetrating that planet.

It's it's essentially a giant dick It's a giant

screwball dick. It's a it's a dildo with giant

ridges on it. First off, we started this movie

with you saying Unicron penetrated the planet.

So there's a lot of sexual innuendo going on.

Sexual innuendo. You got you got Unicron telling

Galatron to stalk someone. It's all over the

place. Okay, so Springer. He's a helicopter.

And later, we will find out he's also a car.

So he's the first Autobot triple change. Because

before, in season two, we had all kinds of adventures

in the season two part of the show with Astrofin

and Blitzwing. So we already knew about those

two triple changers. And that was a shock to

me here in the movie when he, first of all, pulls

Excalibur out of his. And they're indestructible.

And they're everywhere. They're zombies. Jim

in the head. Oh, sorry You check in but you don't

check out the gleam and ret cars. I oh Yeah,

I think when he pulls out the Excalibur his rotor

blades essentially it shatters and then so I

guess he can't be a helicopter anymore as he

has to Yeah, no he ends up becoming a helicopter

later So I think the sword is separate from the

rotor, but here's the car thing and I'm like,

oh my god It's an Autobot triple changer. That's

so cool Even though I'm not the biggest springer

fan in the world springer springer is the he's

like the Chandler Bing of Transformers the sardonic

transformer For a second there wait Chandler.

You mean like friends. Yes, Jim. Oh I was hoping

you weren't referencing that Chandler. He's our

daughter. Everything out of springer's mouth

is something sarcastic Dude Ultra Magnus is Chandler

Young! Caddyshack 2! What is happening? And there's

a giant dick. So anyway. It's Hot Rod and Cup.

Cup and the Dinobots. Guns aren't exactly friendly.

Where are they getting this energon from? I don't

know. Maybe he pulled it out of his wallet. Maybe

it's the Autobot wallet of leadership. Hey, look,

Weird Al. Weird Al Yankevich, interviewed by

my co -host Matthew Stewart. Oh, awesome. And

that's one interview we haven't been able to

get. I know Steve would love to talk to that

guy. When Matt told me he's cool as hell. And

what was so cool about this the fact that you

have retgar here and you have weird Al doing

the dare to be stupid thing in the transformers

animated cartoon Weird Al actually comes back

and voices retgar and he actually at one point

I am retgar I dare to be stupid I Was like retgar

because his potential is like you can't really

kill retgar he just keeps coming you'd have to

separate him Talk some TV and now the news. Don't

touch that dial. I always wish that like on that

little TV was Jim and the holograms This is another

thing it pisses me off ultra Magnus is in pieces

and he comes back but we can't get optimus. Yeah

Shine them up real nice. Yeah new 90 -day warranty

So essentially because the junkie on fix ultra

Magnus is ultra Magnus now indestructible like

them No, I do not think so They just bring him

back to life Without the matrix, which is weird

And you I just noticed now that RC has the princess

Leia buns on her head you just noticed that now

I noticed it when she was pressing buttons transforming

Autobot City. Love their ship. Their ship is

essentially garbage. One of the best junkyard

lines. New junkyard planet is sleek, sexy, import.

I forgot about that line. That line's awesome.

There's a flying dildo. Can't flying either one

of these guys see the finger holes in this thing.

I don't know flying dildo and a piece of shit

If it ain't coming out one end it's coming out

the other I Just love the visuals in this like

you look at this takeoff with these two ships

and the two like I guess ion trails or blast

trails from there. They're exhaust just that

the oh man those colors absolutely amazing Galvatron

with the dumbest plan of all time I'm gonna threaten

you without knowing how this works. Where did

he get the chain? That's what I want to know.

He stopped off at a little vestibule at a mall

He stopped off at Hallmark. I need to get a chain

for this Autobot matrix of leadership here. As

a kid, this was the other frightening thing for

me. The hand. Yeah, I never expected Unicron

to transform. I didn't even expect him to be

a tran - I just assumed he was a giant robot

planet. You know, a giant monster robot planet.

I never expected the whole... Yeah. And did they

sell Unicron? They have various versions of him.

They've tried to make versions of him over the

years. We can go through some of the toys at

the end of this and stuff, or I can look up some

of them if you want. But it's one of those things

where... I don't think we've ever really gotten

a true sized Unicron. Yeah, I could be wrong

though, so. I love the bat wings he has. I'm

Bat -tron. Shockwave is like, yo, we're so screwed

right now. Decepticon scramble! I love how Galvatron

ends up coming out in front of his stomach, essentially.

Yeah. We'll have to know what his plan is. Unicron's

plan is just to eat everything, I'm assuming,

right? He's essentially the Braniac of the Transformers

universe. Yeah. That... him grabbing Galvatron.

This poor bastard is like, damn it! I thought

it was on top of the world! Now I'm just in front

of your stomach. Sparing your wretched little

planet, Cybertron. And now we will witness its

dismemberment. Dismemberment is another word

I didn't know what it meant until I got all dismemberment.

What does that mean? Oh my god! What? Yeah. It's

just so... eaten Cybertron he's headed to earth

I'm assuming if they hadn't if they hadn't stopped

him before this yeah probably Daniel so out like

I should not be here. I'm a child. It's such

child endangerment. Somebody called DCBS HRS.

Somebody get in here. Yeah. These Autobots really

don't like children. Somebody call the cabinet

for family, sir. A cabinet for whatever it is.

It says here, Mr. Rodimus prime. You took a seven

year old child to an alien world. and put them

into battle in a robotic suit. Technically, it's

not Rodimus' fault. It's Ultra Magnus and Springer.

I mean, it's Ultra Magnus and Springer that essentially

give him an RC to a lesser extent. You sound

like his lawyer. Hey. My client wasn't on the

planet in question when this occurred. Yeah,

I know. He was swimming with the robot fishes.

He was liberating a small world somewhere else.

Yes. I just love this whole battle. Yeah. Another

great line by Galvatron coming up is, we almost

die sometime. I love that. Yep. Oh, that whole

scene. Yep. The whole scene. Just absolutely

amazing. Just so friggin cool That's what we're

gonna find out the rare time you What is your

battle strategy when you're when you're fighting

unicorn is like take out his eyes I guess Maybe

hit him in the nose. I guess that Unicron we

got your nose. What are you doing? I'm an omnipotent

god. Why are you touching my nose? So their ship

gets hit horribly by the by the green fire breath.

Fire breath, yes. I love how, what an accomplished,

Hot Rod is kind of like Luke Skywalker and Han

Solo rolled up all into one. Luke was a good

pilot. Luke was, he got his daddy in him, so

he was a good pilot. So he's kind of, you're

right, Hot Rod is the Luke Skywalker of this.

I guess Springer is Han Solo? I guess. Springer's

a bit of a dick. I can see that, yeah. Springer

would shoot first. And Grimlock is Chewbacca,

I guess. That's almost an insult to Chewie. I

mean, I love Grimlock. Wow. This whole thing,

the insides of Unicron, it's just amazing. the

visuals of this the the whole bodily fluid thing

and water and um the good the the the disintegration

of people in there like how do they have like

conveyor belts are there little like robots that

aid inside of unicron's body or is this all i

don't know sentience it's weird And how do they

have like giant rat catchers here? These these

red things like originally I thought those were

crabs taking it back to a sexual tension. Seriously

when I was a kid because you know young kid learning

health class and sex ed and all that stuff like

early sex ed in elementary school you know I

really thought the red things chasing them were

crabs. We don't need no Star Trek discovery.

We don't need no STD on CBS sexually transmitted

to discovery. Oh god. All right. So this is by

far the best scene best hot rod scene out of

the movie. Yeah, this is dope. Mm hmm. How Galvatron

when he he's Think this is the scene where Galvatron

forces a transformation. I believe Basically

forces hot rod to become female instead of male

He transitions him yeah, he transgenders him

oops, sorry destroy I'm Galvatron now you shall

be obliterated I love the juxtaposition between

the inside scenes and the outside battle. Yeah.

That's really, really cool. Keeps the story going

well. I didn't understand when, uh... Did Rekgar

and the Perceptor and them get out of the junk

ship before Unicron destroys it? I don't think

so. So are they dead? Because they don't show

up later. I'm like, wait, didn't Unicron kill

all of you? I'm not sure. Well, he's... Good

ol' one -eye. I'm not really sure. Oh, Grimlock

on his best scenes. Me Grimlock kick butt. And

this is what I was talking about earlier with

their dinosaur powers and the flame breath and

all that. Whatever damage you're doing to Unicron

it must be like so it's like getting stung by

a bee. It's like ow stop leave me alone I'm trying

to eat the planet here And Unicron alls he does

and he doesn't do it until swoop hits or until

slag hits him with the fire He grabs his own

ass smack that ass unicron smack that ass told

you guys stung in the ass by a beef a beef bit

me jumped up and bit me me and grimlock need

new strategy unicron turns into forrest gump

in that scene he gets shot in the butt Love the

stomach rumbling Unicron in suggestion. Yeah,

what's going on on my insides? I don't know think

Transformers Mylanta I Was that they're gonna

make it like a ride out of the the the water

the water part of this scene And really where

the water comes from is RC shoots the crabs.

We're just trying to help you, Unicron. You have

such a raging case of STDs. We're just trying

to help you. Seriously, what are those things?

Are they supposed to be catchers? I've never

known what these red claw things are supposed

to be. I think they're like almost like a white

blood cell kind of immune disease. I have some

kind of weird, some weird humans in my body.

Yeah. I like RC's gun. Yeah, RC's gun is awesome.

I almost wish that water was red. So essentially

it would be Unicron bleeding. It's like bloodstream

kind of thing. This movie is dark enough. But

I'm saying like isn't that technically what it's

supposed to be is is the bloodstream It might

be that it could become Don't you dare make a

joke? Like cuz you know humans have water in

their system. It's kind of like yeah, yeah lubrication

for his body Yes, I'm trying to be PC PC PC went

out the window a half hour ago. Yes, that is

true. PC went out with a transgender joke. More

than meets the pie. More than meets the cry.

Another dark scene here. This is the only scene

in Unicron where outside of us seeing his brain,

this is the only scene bodily wise that I understood

that essentially this is stomach acid that he's

digesting them. It's really the only thing I

understood. Why does he have a keyboard? There's

somebody in there that he would need a keyboard.

Yeah, I don't know lever and a latch and a lid

is like somebody must be working inside of him.

Yeah somebody I Yeah cut scene where they they

they they run into the the the technicians of

Unicron acid cover blasted I don't have a gun

use your exosuit anymore exposition no hit the

button it's like giving him shot by shot shut

up son and shoot the damn thing I love house

like this is freaking out like hell man I'm gonna

die you know well at the end of this he says

hurry now well originally as a kid when I heard

that What I understood it to be was as a six

seven eight year old When Daniel finally hits

the button and he turned his arm transformed

like I thought spike was praising him Yeah But

little did you know that spike was freaking the

hell out for the love of god help me oh boy and

this transfer this is one of the ugliest guns

in transformers history i'm sorry it is it like

yeah just no but hey at least he hit the lid

that's true Right as they're going off the edge

of the cliff. I Don't know. I mean that's some

good accuracy because they could have hit it

and enrolled right into the ass Yeah, there's

no jumping that cliff right there I'm sorry to

tell you Daniel your father bounced and yeah

He bounced like a bad Scotty Pippen pass Ripple

his butt right into that acid You did it. I did

it. Sad thing is Daniel gets horrors as season

three goes along. I I never I I I know he's a

cipher for the kids here in this movie but it's

just I didn't I didn't like how they made Spike

older as it's like oh no. Love Galvatron. Come

on Autobot. We all must die. So let's die sometime

Not today Galvatron. Oh this whole scene Just

all this oh god and think about this that is

John Bender from the Breakfast Club going up

against Spock I Mean, you know Yeah, I mean seriously

The thing about it is, for as much as I don't

like Hot Rod because he caused Optimus to die,

he does hang in this fight pretty well. Probably

better than any other Autobot who was like, you

know, because again, he's like a 16 year old,

he's the equivalent of a 16 year old fighting

a grown ass warrior who killed Starscream with

one shot. So yeah. Force transformation coming

up. Oh yeah. Well. The funny thing was, like,

I get it. You know, it was Galvatron's force

transformation because he made him explode and

then we got hot rods. Oh, that was a slightly

different transformation. It kind of flipped

over backwards and inside out a little bit there.

Yeah. So we get the headlights thing and I get

it. Headlights are bright, but Galvatron reacts

to them like it's his kryptonite or something.

Yeah. Yeah. And we get the, you know, basically

he turns him over on his back, straddles him,

and starts choking the hell out of him. Which,

again, Autobots don't breathe, so I'm assuming

he's just brushing his throat, not choking. Yeah.

Well, yeah. And for some odd reason, apparently,

Hot Rob believes him looking into the Matrix

will help him. I mean, obviously it does, but...

First prime then ultra Magnus now you it's a

pity you Autobots die so easily I might have

a sense of satisfaction now I Mean they gave

Spock a lot of great lines and oh There's your

boy he gets a little he gets on the HGH a little

bit there You got about matrix the leadership

is anabolic steroids Hmm essentially, yeah I'll

just imagine they they need it. Well, they need

it in season three to get rid of The disease

math. Yeah math. Yeah Only thing I regret is

that when rod hot rod turns into Rodimus the

fight between him and Galvatron. It's like so

fast Yeah. I wish that was longer. Well, I think

what, again, the juxtaposition is, is that they've

been fighting all this time as the scenes have

been intermingling with each other. Right. Like

ever since they, you know, ever since Galvatron's

like... It will do you no good auto body cannot

be open not by a deceptive, you know once hot

rod found They've been battling all this time.

So it's more of a hot rod Galvatron fight and

then and obviously he has to pull out the the

MacGuffin and Turn into Rodimus and get primes

approval. Yeah Brahms like I forgive you for

killing me I Love how he just grabs it right

off his neck. Like give me that necklace mine

It always bothered me when he opens the matrix

coming. And Unicron's ripping body parts off

of himself. It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

slow down, man. Arise, Rodimus Prime. Optimus.

Just that whole line, this whole thing. It's

just so awesome. And then Galvatron seems to

think he can just shoot him. he's completely

bulletproof but not his hands because he doesn't

shoot his hands he shoots the matrix out of his

hand so he tries to shoot him in the chest first

and like or in the head technically that's a

head shot right there so he shoots him in the

chest and in the head and then he just shoots

the matrix right out of his hand so yeah see

He knows what the hand holds are for. The finger

holds. Finger holds, Ultra Magnus. The finger

holds! All this whole time, it was just the finger

holds? I got blown to pieces, for Christ's sake.

Couldn't have said that before you died, Optimus.

Make sure you use the finger holds. It doesn't

work without the finger holds. Yeah, I'm sure

you put your fingers in the right holes ultra

Magnus. What do you mean by that optimist? His

last dying words put your fingers in the hole

What I don't what are you talking about? And

now light our darkest hour See He knows how to

use the finger holes. Finger holes! It's a strawberry

jacuzzi! It's not often I can pull out of a good

burger reference. They do a three -shotter of

him opening this matrix. It's dope. Yep. Unicron

just like damn it all the freaking yo You cannot

destroy my destiny I Know this is gonna be wrong

to say what we've said so many wrong things in

this commentary I like to think that unit that

that wells died in the booth after saying you

cannot destroy my And they're like Orson that

was amazing or Orson Orson yeah, let me get somebody

in here Medic! Hey, where's Ratchet when you

need him? Alright, they killed him. They shot

him fifteen times in the face. Metacron's brain

explodes And I think that's why he's ripping

him his body parts off his brain exploded. That's

true. So I mean I mean there's no there's nowhere

else you can go from there I'm surprised he's

forming senses after your brain explodes. Yeah,

this insult the injury. I'm gonna go out your

other eye that you know Well, they had to come

up with a storyline later when Starscream becomes

a ghost for him and Scourge to steal two of Metroplex's

eyes. That may have been the strangest sentence

I've ever heard. What? A factual information

ever sputtered on the air. They had to go through

his other eye so they could have a storyline

for when the... No time for that now. Let's get

out of here. He's ripping his ass apart. I've

got such a bad case of the runs. Of the roids,

yeah. Look. Speaking of runs. Hey. Space Winnebago!

Where's Lone Star when you really need it? Lone

Star! Only one Autobot would give me the raspberry.

Okay now we do need to talk about this this this

exit scene these are all cars except for Springer

and Was perceptor they're not knows So they're

all cars Are they essentially just running right

out of Unicron and landing on Cybertron? They're

floating away. You can see them floating toward

it's like They start floating and they start

floating too old jazz Yeah, we'll be cliff jumper

coming right out of the eye and then you know,

yeah, technically unicorns eye laser here should

have incinerated the planet with his head just

Explosions should have like knocked it off out

of orbit. Yeah Well, they already tried doing

the ultimate doom where Megatron tried bringing

Cybertron to earth, but anyway, you know But

yeah, all kinds of green shit coming out of Unicron.

If a moon exploded next to Earth, it would destroy

us. Unicron explodes next to Cybertron like nothing

happens. Everything's fine. Well, that was a

big explosion, but it wasn't the biggest explosion.

It was pretty big. They cut to it. They cut away

from it like, yo, you're going to be exploding

for a while, guys. I don't know how he survived.

I have no idea how he made it out of there. And

the Junkions are there. Alright. And we can't

see anymore. And we have a doomed planet. You

got the touch. Again, I picture Dirk Diggler.

in a sound booth somewhere. No, no, no. Stop

that. Singing, you get the touch. Stop that.

Oh! Oh, god. Yeah, I'll have to bring that up

in a minute. All right, folks, that's it for

the commentary. Unicron is about ready to orbit

Cybertron here, and the credits are about to

roll. He'll never get ahead in life. He'll never

be head of a major corporation. He's heading

in the wrong direction, as it were. And we are

heading to a break before DJ makes any more bad

head puns. Because he is definitely not a headmaster.

We'll be back after this. Alright folks we are

back on this 30th anniversary celebration for

the transformers the movie commentary here in

all things transformers and again We want to

apologize for any bad jokes. We mean no offense

to anybody But you know, hey, we can't help sometimes

the things that pop into our brains that we just

have to say We went a little Bay there we went

a little Bay with the bad jokes Yeah You know

almost nine and a half ten years of Bay. How

can you not go? That's great. You know Bay jokes

true Did you know that they Eventually split

this up into five days and showed it on air.

Oh wow really Yeah, they had they had all kinds

of cool because essentially they they they split

it up and they What they did was They took season

five Okay, so season four essentially is just

rebirth. It's the three -part rebirth thing right

season five They took more than meets the eye

one through three They took the movie day one

two three four and five five faces of darkness

one through five surprise party of all things

Dark awakening which is a zombie optimus and

the return of optimus Which he nearly gets it

out and then rebirth and they made those 20 episodes

is like a season five and during those You know

They had the the power master the kind of like

the not live -action but the Power master optimist

talking to the kid Tommy and that kind of thing.

But yeah, they it was just so cool. I Still love

this movie to this day It never gets old man.

Never no, it is so quotable. I mean anything,

you know, I Could start, you know posting on

people's That are transformers fans on on their

birthday wishes for didn't even bend a fender,

you know It's just so many quotable things to

this movie, you know, I Think I'm gonna I'm think

I'm gonna actually try and make or somehow get

me Not Bo's let me get my king. I'm gonna try

and make that shirt somehow I love that. I love

I have better things to do tonight than die.

I would love a Springer shirt with that It's

just I mean you can go through this whole movie

and then the animation for the time is I mean

oh It's great this best animation at the show

that out of the Sunbow production that they ever

had I mean it really really is it's the movie

just consistently lives on, you know, it's kind

of like that, um, that old, uh, Jay Jonah Jameson

saying from 2002, if he doesn't want to be famous,

I'll make him infamous. I mean, this movie is,

is, is very, very infamous with the lines, with,

with all that stuff. And compared to G .I. Joe,

the movie, it feels like a movie where G .I.

Joe, the movie feels like a TV show, like this

extended. Yeah. Well, this was actually released

in theaters. So I mean, I don't remember if GI

Joe ever was released. I think it was on I remember

I remember watching GI Joe on TV. I saw Transformers

in theaters. I was a baby, but I remember watching

it. Yeah, but I think GI Joe was I think judge

other movie was just either on straight to VHS

or was on television. I remember seeing on television

though. Yeah, I yeah, I don't honestly GI Joe

is so like Most of our listeners know this you

don't know this because I mean we've talked before

we haven't like had this old Transformers GI

Joe talk before I Am one of those kids that if

I'm faced with a choice I will choose one thing

and not necessarily pay attention to the other

so for me giant robots Is more at you know four

or five and eighty four eighty five eighty six

eight You know four or five and six years old

for me is more exciting than a bunch of army

men shooting terrorists I'm not taking anything

away from anyone else's enjoyment of GI Joe.

I'm sure once I eventually get to go back and

watch the original Sunbow series of GI Joe all

the way through, I'm sure I'll still enjoy it.

I know there are really a lot of cool stuff,

but I'm sorry. Giant robots wins in the end.

I mean, it's hard to go against giant robots

and robots that can change into cars. That's

very, that's a very difficult task for army men

to go up against. Yeah, pretty much. Um, yeah.

Kind of is So alright folks. This is the 30th

anniversary celebration of the release of transformers

the movie into theaters Here in all things transformers.

We will be doing the ATTF origins I don't know

who the first guest is gonna be I think the first

episode Steven I said we were basically just

gonna talk to each other about how we each get

into Into transformers and that kind of stuff.

So after that we'll have a guest at least once

a month or so I think it just depends on on timing

and scheduling and all that good stuff, but Anything

you want to pimp out before we get out of here?

Yeah, we have a simplistic reviews. I forgot

where I worked simplistic reviews that net Sorry,

I I'm not made I thought I was made of sterner

stuff We're if you go to some places that net

or go to our Twitter feed at some simple tweeters

You can find our latest episode where we had

JD to run from his session film when we talked

about everything from Donald Trump to Pokemon.

So yeah, we hit everything and we got to make

fun of Jason Bourne a little bit in the beginning

there. So check that out and you can check us

out on iTunes under simplistic reviews. Bourne

erased the crappy legacy. You have to at least

agree with that. Oh no, we made fun of it lovingly.

It was a loving tribute to the trailer for the

new Bourne movie. Okay, I just want to make sure

because yeah All right, that's gonna do it for

us here in all things transformers You can follow

at all things TFV3. I believe is what it is on

Twitter I am at TF2 and Mike on Twitter You can

also follow at geek cast radio for all the other

network updates We will catch you soon with ATTF

origins coming next on all things transformers

transform transcend transform rollout I've got

better things to do tonight than die. The seeds

of the future lie buried in your ass. Whoa, wait.

What Autobot said that? It wasn't an Autobot.

Oh, Jesus. These Decepticons. These dirty -ass

Decepticons. Dirty -ass Predacons is what it

is. They never wash their assholes. Frank Welser,

save us. Why throw away your life so recklessly?

Why throw away your ass so recklessly? Yeah,

I mean cuz I would have I would have loved to

been able to do a scatman crothers You're still

here It's over go home. All right folks. We are

still here because I did forget about one thing

That we should talk about and that is Stan Bush

Vince the Cola the music of Transformers the

movie and this the 30th anniversary Vince the

Cola along with Entrata Records, I think it was

two years ago 2014 maybe I think released a 25

track single disc release of Transformers the

movie score there have been other versions of

the score out there but this one to me is like

it doesn't have every single track from it has

most of the tracks but it's not just the greatest

hits it's in order of the story it's just missing

a couple like it's missing the moon base one

attack music but it's one of those things where

hearing the coronation track without sound effects,

without Starscreams paddling on, just hearing

Vince's music to that, and he incorporates the

horns that the constructicons are playing as

part of the track. It's just awesome and amazing

and I just absolutely love it. Another one I

love off of that is the track called Closing

In. This is where Galvatron is hunting them down.

in the in the battle after they leave earth oh

this is just that music oh my god i can just

absolutely and then you know you got stan bush

you got specter general you got weird al yankovic

you got lion on the soundtrack um Outside of

the touch because we all know that you know,

the touches are what it's usually go to What

was your go -to song on on the soundtrack for

the movie instruments of destruction? The one

where Megatron just starts laying waste to everybody

on the shuttle. What is it? I think that's that's

instruments of the song is dope that in the one

where is it 40 to 1 is that the name of the song

we're Hot Riders underwater on quintis quintis

on Spectre general nothing's gonna say another

way those two songs. I I have driven in a car

with my windows down blaring That's a badass

song right there For me really it it has to be

and I've said this for years and years and years

Because I am the Rodimus the hot rod Rodimus

fanboy that I am Dare is his theme You know,

I don't know how many times that I've interviewed

and talked with Stan Bush that I've said, oh

my God, Dare is so Hot Rod's theme and that is

my, you know, that little instrumental part in

the middle there, just absolutely amazing and

awesome. I believe originally that was supposed

to be used for the film Cobra. Oh, Jesus. Imagine,

you're the disease. I don't think that would

have fit. I'm pretty sure that wouldn't have

fit in that movie. I don't think so. But yeah,

no, the music, if you guys get a chance, head

on over to Entrata Records. I believe it's just

Entrata, I -N -T -R -A -D -A, Entrata .com. You

can search Transformers the Movie Score by Vince

DiCola over there. Pick it up. It's 25 tracks.

It's simply amazing. If you really want to hear

the music outside of the movie, it's so cool.

It's so great. Absolutely. I can sit here with

my my headphones on blaring that music and not

get tired of it on loop. Oh, I love that stuff.

All right. Now it it's over. So that's the end.

We promise we're not. We're not coming back again

after this or not. We're not pulling a tag team

on your phone. It's over prime. Yeah Yes, yes

it is problems like yeah, I guess I guess it

is over Yes, it is over. You're really did. I

really did throw my life away recklessly Megatron

I waited the tannity for this Crap, that's so

funny. We'll catch you next time here on All

Things Transformers. See ya, folks. Optimus Prime
