1986 Transformers movie in Melbourne cinema 2 January 2023

Yeah, the Joe cartoon shared plenty from Transformers, music, voice actors, writers, directors....

I love the Joe movie. Such fond memories, especially that opening sequence at the Statue of Liberty.

We got a few VHS releases here in Australia for the Joe cartoon, however if you didn't seek them out at grocery stores or VHS rentals, you'd miss them easily. After going back and re-watching the series, it's interesting to note just how few episodes we got here and why my connection to certain characters varies greatly to those who grew up watching the whole thing.

Oh one other thing about watching TFTM in full for the first time in years: I had a greater appreciation for all those Studio Series 86 and Generations toys. I found myself thinking it in the underwater scene. This may have also happened if I’d watched it at home.

There were other things about the movie that stuck out as odd. I think this was because I was watching it with other people and looking it at with a fresh perspective: what would someone who hadn’t memorised this film by the time they were 10 think of this film?

Sigh. I only noticed this thread today.

I've seen TFTM 86 end to end many times over, but never on the big screen. Always wanted the big screen experience of the movie. One day.
