Transformers: The Movie (1986)

Bald Move
About this episode

Amee Miller commissioned Transformers the Movie as a Christmas present for her beloved husband Jason. Featuring the voice talents of Leonard Nimoy, Orsen Wells, Petter Cullen, and Scatman Crothers, the movie certainly lives up to it's billing as "beyond your wildest imagination." For example, I'd never imagine an underwater chase scene involving muscle cars, mentally challenged dinosaur robots leading a populist revolt against injustice, a microscope being used as a telescope, or Weird Al Yankovic's "Dare to Be Stupid" being used in an all-robot dance number. Maybe my imagination is broken or something.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed your first Christmas present, Jason! Thanks to Amee for commissioning it, and a very Merry Christmas to you both.
