How did you first watch The Transformers The Movie?

I'm a little bit awestruck at the depth and clarity of people's recollections here... I only sort of remember that's I saw it in the cinema, and even that fact is a hazy one. I'm reduced to making a "best guess". I would have been about 8 or 9, and while I'm no genius, I'm not a dunce either... All very curious.

I think I remember the experience clearly because it left a very strong impression on me. It's the first cartoon I ever watched where major characters died on screen.
