Hey, no dissin' Transformers: The Movie! It had some of the most memorable scenes in animated history (a... transformer... PLANET!!!!!!.... "Megatron must be stopped. At whatever cost." You got the touch! You got the poweeeeer! Yay!)
I'll admit I get chills when I think about how Prime pounded the tar outta Megatron. I get the same chills when I think of how he ran down a whole bunch of Decepticons with "You Got The Touch" playing in the background. And when Megatron blows up the mountain side with two blasts from his fusion cannon. And when Megatron, in Starscream's arms, says "Wait... I still function," to which Starscream replies, "Wanna bet?" Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant.
BUT THEY KILLED EVERYONE THAT EVER MATTERED TO ME AS A CHILD! . Ironside, Prowl, Ratchet, Wheeljack, Cliffjumper... The list goes on and on.
And, I'm sorry... But you can't replace Prime, an 18 wheeler semi with
A CUSTOM VAN! The new leader of the Autobots was a
CUSTOM VAN!
Whew... I feel a little better now.
And well, the new cartoon had King Hiss, so Hordak couldn't be too far back...
But do they plan on renewing the show?
You know, the one episode I didn't see in its entirety is the one I wanted to see the most. The one that described the history of Greystone, the Elders, and the Sorceress. I wonder if they clarified if Skeletor was one of Hordak's chief apprentices back then (one of the cowled wizards).
I also think they were going to have Evil Lynn become this version of the show's Shadoweaver (was that the name of the floating woman that worked with Hordak, her face concealed but for the eyes under a hood?).
