Giant Philosophical Robots = Total Coolness

[shoebox2]

So I am about the last person on the Net, with the possible exception of www.nepaleseyakherders.org, to weigh in on Transformers: The Movie.

This is doubly odd because I was a massive fan of the original cartoon. I've written elsewhere in this journal of my receptiveness to sweet-hearted yet simplistic animated media, and after-school TV in the 80'

I enjoyed the Transformers movie much more than I thought I would. I don't have many memories of the show -- I do remember that my brother had an Optimus Prime toy, though.

I *love* the sound they use when they transform.

Have vague memories of He-Man and She-Ra.

Ah yes.. Transformers. Did you know they now have an Optimus Prime helmet that can transform a person's voice into Optimus' voice? (Or the voices from the clock radio if you put the helmet over top..) It makes the cool changing sounds, too.

Haven't seen the movie yet. Bought two copies for Christmas presents, but haven't seen it myself yet.

Hey, you!

I did know about the helmet...I refuse however to admit how long I spent contemplating the purchase before snapping to. :)
