It’s a great movie and hopefully future live action films take inspiration from it.

I saw it when it came out!
A cinema full of little kids-I was about 16 but I didn't feel bad because there were two guys in the 40s or 50s watching it with a big container of popcorn.
I think the audience laughed when Spike said "Holy shit!" which was edited out of the VHS release.
A funny story I heard on it too-a guy was working with Leonard Nimoy many years later and said he really liked his Galvatron. Nimoy could not remember voicing the character. The guy insisted and Nimoy insisted he never worked on the film. So the guy ran across the street and found a VHS of Transformers with the cast listing and brought it back and Nimoy said: "Wow. I guess I did do the film."

It’s claimed in the Cheech and Chong’s Up In Smoke commentary that Harry Dean Stanton didn’t recall that he had filmed a scene for the film which was later deleted. |

He may have only spent a day on it. Too busy to remember. Heard something where a fan met an actress at a convention and made a remark about a car accident she had decades ago-and she didn't remember it.
Others though may have a perfect memory on past experiences or roles.

Jan-Michael Vincent did an interview where he didn’t even remember that he had a career as an actor! |

It’s a great movie and hopefully future live action films take inspiration from it. I'm of 2 thoughts. While its art direction & cinematography if you will was hilariously ahead of its time (esp from its TV source material), its storyline & raison d'etre to kill off old toys (i.e. characters) for new ones was & remains a turn off. I stop watching after Galvatron blows Starscream's head off. I still wish there'd be retconned stories of TF between season 2's 1986 & the film (& S3) setting 2005. That's a decade gap where all those G1 characters' stories remain untold. Hell, the live action cinematic TF should just embrace that & own it for themselves. |

Heck, that's one of the highlights. Whatever the behind the scenes reasons, the movie took a huge risk in killing off childhood heroes. Let's face it, it only did what Disney had been doing for decades. Death is a part of life and can be an important part in storytelling, even for young audiences. The heroes journey should be full of tragedy.
