Oldtaku no Radio #034 – The Transformers: The Movie

The Transformers toy line is legendary, and the car-toon it
inspired was hugely popular with many of the kids
growing up in the ’80s. But when one set of toys outwears its
welcome in the marketplace and a new set of toys is ready to be
sold, there remains a question of transition. The answer is a
HUGE animated movie showcase that surprised just about
everyone who saw (and heard) it. Bringing together familiar TV
voices and some serious star power (Orson Welles, Leonard
Nimoy, and Eric Idle to name a few), 1986’s The
Transformers: The Movie brought The Transformers to a new plane
with more intense visuals, more mature subject matter, and a
linear story unlike anything seen so far in the TV series. Join
Jared and Ink as they talk giant (transforming) robots as
well as the movie’s inspirations and influences with none
other than Patrick from The Cockpit.
