Did you cry?
I hadn't been born, stupid!!
>>23915295Obviously wasn’t there since I wouldn’t be born for almost 10 years later, still I could see the impact to those who grew up watching the series my first introduction to the series was either Robots in disguise or Armada
>>23915295all my niggas fucking hate hot rodshithead got optimus killedalso hot rod shoulders suck
I saw it years after on VHS from Blockbuster. I think I was confused more than anything. I do cry to shows, mostly manly tears moments albeit. As a kid with autism I didn't think people dieing is sad.
didn't cry but it put me on blast, I just remember reeling for like 20 minutes at what just happened.
>>23915295I was an infant at the time so probably.
>>23915295I didn't give a shit. My first TF show was Armada.
No because I watched it for the first time a couple of years back and I was and still am a grown adult, however I have to commend them on the balls to do it. I mainly watched this movie for the animation and for being the last role of Orson fucking Welles (who did a good job). Overall an entertaining enough movie
>>23916488I don't know if it was my first but I have a distinct memory of being weirded out by non Armada versions of Starscream.
>>23916489There was nothing ballsy about it lol. They just wanted to sell Hot Rod as the new shiny toy along with Optimus.
>>23916489>Orson fucking WellesOnly five people on /m/ probably know who this is. More people here have seen Shin Kamen Rider than Citizen Kane. No hate, it's just that idea blows my fucking mind.
>>23916505>More people here have seen Shin Kamen Rider than Citizen Kane.Wow, the reddit population here is much smaller than i thought.
>>23916498I mean yeah, that's the real reason, but kids shows didn't do that back then. They didn't kill He-Man or something to have a new He-Man but different or something else
>>23916507Goddamn you're retarded.
>>23916509>but kids shows didn't do that back then. Yeah most of kids shows back then actually knew not to pull retarded descisions like Hasbro.
>>23916513Nah, 80s kid shows were literally just commercials and plot didn't really matter. I wonder if Hasbro made money off of killing Optimus or not
>>23916513>most of kids shows back thenYou don't need the 'of'. It's just 'most kids shows back then'.
>>23916505>Only five people on /m/ probably know who this is.Four of them from The Critic.
>>23916524I fucking love frozen peas.
>>23916526>Full of country goodness and green pea-ness.
MUWWWAHHH THE FRENSH
Yes, always
This is the best thread on /m/ atm.
This was my first piece of Transformers media as a kid, so I thought it was sad the big heroic truck died, not sad a long familiar character had passed.That said I was still shook by the opening sequence of Unicorn eating a planet. That ship almost escaping but ultimately getting destroyed really stuck with me.
What mech would he pilot?
>>23916520Thank you, kind strangers. 50 reddit karma for ya!
>>23916505Well, yeah, I haven't seen Citizen Kane but I did go to see Orson Wells' version of The Trial. It's good, Wells gets Kafka (and Wells suffered lifelong guilt via blaming himself for his father's death somehow)
>>23916548No problem. I love correcting English all day on an English language website. It's the best.
>>23916505If you watched Turner Movie Classics as a kid you would know who he is, and how hated he was because of his attitude/demeanor.
The-Orson welles
>>23916586How would he fit in there? I think he needs some weird Super like what the Shura Emporer used in SRW OG
>>23916557100 reddit karma for you and your wife's boyfriend
>>23915295When I was little, I thought the Transformers jingle was>Transformers! Robots in de skies!
>>23916599I'm divorced. Much like Orson and one of the hottest women to ever live.
>>23916601Well that's how they arrive on earth.
>>23916553>Well, yeah, I haven't seen Citizen KaneIt's an important landmark in the development of the film medium and it bores me to tears.
>>23916517Considering how quickly they brought him back afterwards, I'm guessing the answer is no.
Transformers is overated shit.
>>23916505I know who Orson Wells is due to a documentary i watched alongside my dad when i was a kid, old man likes classic movies.
>>23915398>We killed the one that looks like a red and blue gundam>Have some nerd in a sweatervest.
>>23915295Bwuh, I wasn't even born. Still had some G1 disks.
>>23917019>>23915398I have a weird soft spot for Hot Rodimus. He was just tired and done with things and clearly didn't want to be there.
>>23917022yeah he doesn't want to be a leader or fill optimus's shoes
>>23915295No I was mad they killed off Wheeljack.
>>23915295Nah. Character dying is a normal thing on animes most people watched growing up. Hearing American kids leaving the theaters sobbing because of this makes me think they're bunch of pampered sissies
>>23917143>animes
>>23917103Iron Hide for me.
>>23917019Hot Rod looks like a 70's Japanese super robot. It's a cool design. Rodimus is a bit of a mess but I never got the "winnebago" stuff from boomers, I see he had the hanging trailer area but there's no winnebago model with bigass exhausts or a sleek cab with a spoiler. >>23917022Rodimus has a respectable attempt at breaking out of typical 80's cartoon writing hampered by it still being an 80's syndicated show that needed to air out of order if needed so any character arc had to be cyclical. The Burden Hardest to Bear episode should've been his big moment where he's finally accepts being a Prime, but instead he keeps carrying the same selfdoubt because every episode is written around the same writer's guide without an overarching plan.
>>23918226The post movie seasons were kind of weird. They gave up on the whole IN DISGUISE thing, which was always pretty tenuous, but it became more a space adventure show. Spike even got all Flash Gordon.
>>23916505I had to watch it in school.
