The Transformers

And by the way, during the trailers before the movie yesterday, um, I guess there's going to be a re-release.

Is that what it was, Victoria? A re-release of Transformers? That's the original animated film? Yeah.

See it the way it was meant to be seen, I think, was the tagline.

And it's hard not to love the Transformers.

It's just cool.

Well, over at... little little Mark Wayne Mullins DHS by the way it needs to be abolished root and branch salt the earth after the buildings are down DHS posted a visual of Optimus Prime in an excrement and And they had modified it to put ice across his chest and the seal of DHS on his shoulder.

At the bottom, some shithead in that shitty agency put the words, Transformers, Age of Deportation.

They also showed Optimus Prime with the DHS seal looking at an AI-generated image of an immigrant.

The Runner debuted on Amazon Prime Video on September 2, 2026, while this film, which is simply called Runner, will be opening theatrically on September 11, 2026.

Now, in honor of the late Optimus Prime voice actor Peter Cullen, who sadly passed away two weeks ago today, let's take a look back at the first ever Transformers film, the August 8th, 1986 animated sci-fi actioner, The Transformers the Movie.

Based on the 1980s Transformers cartoon, it stars the voices of the late Cullen, Eric Idle, Judd Nelson, the late Scatman Crothers in his final film, the late Orson Welles in his final films, Frank Welker, and the late Casey Kasem.

Set in 2005, 20 years after the cartoon's second season, the Autobots have to stop an enormous planet-eating robot who's after the Autobot matrix of leadership.

and defend themselves against an entire Decepticon attack at the same time.

He recorded his line just five days before his death on October 5.

It also happened to be Scatman Crothers' last film before his own death on November 22, 1986 at age 76.

And the late Leonard Nimoy, who voiced Galvatron in this movie, later would voice Autobot-turned-traitor Sentinel Prime in 2011's Transformers Dark of the Men.

I believe he was 85 when he passed away recently.

And, you know, best known as the voice of Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots from the Transformers.

I grew up watching the Transformers.

It is tied for my favorite cartoon of all time.

That and G.I. Joe, depending on what day you ask me, I will say G.I. Joe or I will say Transformers.

But they were the two afternoon animated series that I look forward to the most when I was growing up in the 80s.

my friends and i all loved it i had i didn't have a lot of transformers uh figures or collectibles what have you i had a number of them which i wish i still had but um you know his voice is it just it brings me back i mean i was so happy that um they that his voice hadn't aged like unfortunately the uh the voice of of megatron which was um trying to remember who uh who voiced it's escaping me at the moment but uh frank welker that's right he um his voice had aged too much to be able to do uh megatron's voice anymore so he was that's why he was that why uh megatron was recast in the transformers movies when they started coming out 2007 but peter collin voice stayed the same now Optimus Prime was not his only major voice.

I mean, he appeared in a lot of shows.

And of course, this one features Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime.

Hi, I'm Mike Seibert, and this is 40 for 40 Transformers the movie.

Two years in the making.

An incredible adventure in spectacular widescreen animation, it's now playing at theaters everywhere.

Transformers! The Movie.

It's a startlingly original story that begins in the year 2005.

Look! It's Unicron! A monster planet destroys everything in its path, while on Earth, Optimus Prime and Megatron battle to the death.

And I promised you that the show would go on and remained unchanged.
