Yeah, I saw it in the theater as well.  I was really surprised when Spike said that.  I remember that day, I went to Wendy's with my mom & cousin, & we got kid's meals, & in the kid's meals, they had Go-bots toys(not Machine Robo ones, just ones made for Wendy's), mine was a purple jet.  I brought it with me to the movie(blasphemy!!).  And, I'm not ashamed to say it, I cried when Optimus died dammit!

I remember seeing it in the theater many times.  I saw it on the day of release.  I remember pissing my mom off because I demanded to see the 5:xx show instead of the 7:xx show because I just couldn't wait.  I remember everyone laughing when Spike said "Aww shit what are we gonna do now?!"  I also remember everyone cheering when Blaster ejected his cassettes to fight with Soundwave's cassettes.  I must have seen that movie in the theater at least 10 times (I once saw it twice in a row at the same theater).  I also remember the videocassette costing about $80, so it was rental-only!

haha. Yeah, on it's release date I'm pretty sure I went to see it 2 or 3 times.   :roll: hehe. God knows how many times I went to see it subsequent days. I was obsessed.

I also remember people cheering when Blaster ejected his cassettes as well. On the first day I remember a mother having to take her crying child out of the theatre when Optimus died.  :)

The whole swearing thing just made the movie even cooler to me.  8)

Yeah, that rocks.  A toy that looks as cool as the cartoon... who woulda thought?  I wonder how the world would have reacted if the original Hasbro toys were that cool.  I know I would have gone apeshit with glee!  The top of it looks like it was burned with a match, though.  I'd prefer it to look non-burned and without the fan-nipples, though.

Haha. Yeah, some of those early transformers were terrible. Ironhide and Ratchet looked terrible. They weren't much better than the Go-Bots...maybe even worse. It just sucked that Ironhide looked pretty cool in the cartoon, but at the same time the toy looked ridiculous. But it is neat how Hasbro started to figure out how to actually make Transformers that looked cool in both forms (sometimes 3 or 4 forms).

But even Cy-kill had to admit inferiority to the Transformers....namely one Megatron.

Yeah, the US version has varying scorch marks on them.  They all seem to be a little different though, as when I was looking at the 18 Starscreams they had there, their paintjobs were all slightly different on the scorching, so, I picked the one I liked the best.  Apparently, Takara is releasing a US version of Starscream(the Japanese, only got a blue Starscream, that matches the color of what his vehicle mode would be in real life), & it apparently has alot less/none scorch marks.

Oh, also, he comes with a stand, so you can have him hanging in mid air above it, & in both vehicle & robot modes.  I'm guessing he's about a foot tall, but I haven't measured him.

Nearly a foot tall?  Man, I wish toys were that cool when I was younger.  But at least we got Megatron which transformed into a realistic gun instead of some fluorescent nut job thing which would be likely today.  If Megatron doesn't make cops shoot kids, then it's not the proper Megatron!

Also, if Japan's Starscream is blue, then Japan doesn't have Starscream.  They have Thundercracker.

Nope it was Screamer....that was just the paint job Takara went with...they are getting the corrected paint scheme version soon.

Yeah, they wanted to have him be in "real life" colors.  Thundercracker is a different shade of blue compared to what they used.  They do however have a Skywarp repaint.  Normally I'd jump all over that, but, I gotta stop buying repaints, especially $50+ ones!  Actually, probably more then that, since I'd have to import it.

Oh, & for anybody who cares(probably none of you do), the new show, starts December 26th at 8 PM on Cartoon Network.  However, because of the wierd artstyle they used, I doubt anyone here, other then me, will give it a chance.  Personally, the first picture I saw, was many months ago, & was the Optimus for the show, & I HATED IT!  However, after seeing various clips, & other characters, not to mention that some of the old G1 voice actors are in the show(Corey Burton, voice of Shockwave, among others, is returning, as Shockwave....as well as being the new Megs, also Susuan Blu is going to be Arcee again), I think it might be a decent show, atleast, worth checking out.  I'll know in a month if it's decent, but, then again, I ended up loving Beast Wars, & I'm sure most here hate that show.
