I grew up with the Transformers being my favorite cartoon. They were just incredible the way they could change form from robots to cars, planes, etc... The movie was very good and one of the better Cartoon movies out there IMO!
Review courtesy of none other than Amazon:

During the 1980s, one cartoon series ruled the airwaves... The Transformers. This paragon of consumerism was created with a dual purpose--to entertain and to galvanize children to buy the toys. Somewhere along the line, the show became a cult favorite, so in 1986 they fashioned an epic tale of good versus evil specifically for the big screen. The result looked vaguely like an animated remake of Star Wars. Who are the Transformers? The good guys are the Autobots: Optimus Prime, SoundWave, Jazz, Ultra Magnus, and many more. Their mortal enemies are the evil Decepticons, led by Megatron and StarScream. The Autobots must save their home planet from an evil entity known as Unicron (voiced by Orson Welles). At the same time, they must defend themselves from an all-out attack from the Decepticons. Along the way, lives are lost, battles are fought, and a new Autobot leader is born as another dies. The story and action never stop in a thrilling ride that often makes you forget that you're watching an '80s cartoon with inferior graphics. The violence will also come as a mild shock to those who haven't seen this film for a while--definitely a movie for the 8 and over audience. For those who grew up on this series, this is a movie that must be watched. Unlike cartoon serials before and after, The Transformers relied on solid stories and interesting characters, a manifesto the film itself upholds with gusto and grace while also being morally responsible. Don't underestimate this movie; there is definitely more to it than meets the eye. --Jeremy Storey --

The 80's metal soundtrack makes this a cult-classic. We used to watch it in college around 3-4 in the morning after partying all night.

Ah yes, the beloved Transformers movie. I turned it off when during a major fight scene, the background music was "Dare to be Stupid" by Weird Al Yankovic.
Horrible, horrible movie. Right up there with Masters of the Universe and Super Mario Bros.

You would be one of the very few who have given this movie a bad rating. Hard to take your opinion thugh when you didnt even watch the whole movie

Sadly, I agree with you. I bought this in college and although I too love the soundtrack, I wish I had left this to my memories. Your childhood memories remember it being awesome but in actuality it is abysmal.

Yup. I own the flick (Anniversary Ed) and when I tell people I own it they say "awesome". Except it's not. It's pretty awful.
