First off,
a very warm bah-weep-graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong to all of you, and I hope my
words find you well and in good spirits, not all grumpy like those stupid Quintessons.
This is a
public service announcement…brought to you by the Matrix of Leadership, don’t
leave home without it.
For everyone
who considers themselves a fan of the Transformers really needs to watch the movie,
and I’m not talking about that Michael Bay rock 'em sock 'em robots crap either,
but rather the 1986 animated classic.
This movie
may not have Megan Fox, but it does have Arcee, and if you ask me she’s quite
the looker. Va-va-vroooom!
Forget
Cinderella, someone really needs to open the vault and let this gem out, it’s
like a fine wine, it needs to breathe.
Or even if
you’re not a fan, say you grew up with the garbage they try to pass off as
Transformers today, you owe it to yourself to check this out, because remember
there’s more than meets the eye here.
I saw it in
the theater when it was first released, and I was super excited about it and
loved every minute of it.
I felt like
a kid who just discovered masturbation, but thankfully it was only a feeling
and not the real thing, because I would have been really embarrassed if I got
stuck to my seat when it was time to leave.
This movie
was frigging awesome, totally radical, it got me all pumped up as if I was
Rocky training for the big fight, and also made me cry like a baby like some
people (not me of course) who saw the Notebook did, it had a little bit of
everything.
Sure it
changed the landscape of the series, not so much for the better like with the
introduction of Rodimus Prime, who I might add was a lot like Rick from the
Walking Dead, always whining, bitching and second guessing himself.
Now Optimus
Prime on the other hand, he was like Carol (also from The Walking Dead),
because he would have no problem whatsoever telling Megatron to look at the
flowers, and also taking care of his own people/team.
Speaking of
Mr. Prime (if you’re nasty), he and another fan favorite, the ever scheming and
power hungry Decepticon Starscream, made their triumphant returns shortly after
the movie.
The
producers knew that the product they were now left with was nowhere near as
good as the original, and something had to be done about it.
Even with all
the changes the movie brought forth to the series, it still kicked some serious
donkey and I wouldn’t change a thing, not for all the Energon in the world.
The movie
did give us some really cool new characters too, like Hot Rod (pre-Rodimus),
Blur and of course the mack daddy of them all, the giant planet-eating badass known
as Unicron, just to name a few.
We also got
Galvatron, who was cool at first, but then flipped his lid and went all cray
cray like a mo’ fugger and totally ruined the Decepticons street cred that
Megatron worked so hard to establish.
Then there’s
this Wheelie fella, who let’s just say is this movie’s Jar Jar Binks, he’s okay
is small doses but too much of him will leave you wanting to smack your head
against the wall.
However,
with all things consider he was still a better leader than any of our last few
Presidents.
The
soundtrack kicked some serious butt too, so much so that even Beavis and Butt-head
would rock out to it, totally getting their monkey boy on.
The songs
were your typical 80s songs, from bands/artists you’ve never heard of before
then and haven’t heard from since, but nevertheless it rocked it like a
hurricane and made you bang your head as if you were a bobblehead caught in a
tornado.
Now do
yourself a favor and go watch the movie, don’t be a dimwitted Dinobot and not
heed these words, because the loss will be all yours.
Even Vault
Boy (Fallout) would give it a thumbs up!
Time for me
to roll out, so I’ll talk to you fine people later.
