I still get teary-eyed at the Optimus scene. And he was even more awesome in the G1 cartoons than the MB movie.

"You, who are without mercy, now plead for it?"

I think there's a guide on the net on the history of the TFs with profiles and stuff.

I watched that on Youtube not too long ago. I was yelling "NO" when a lot of the best characters died. Ratchet went down so easy. Makes me scared for the live action movies. When OP kicked the bucket, I got choked up.

I'm a tad concerned about Ironhide in the new movie, I really hope he survives. Him and just all the autobots.......

Saying that to a Transformers fan is like telling Jason Voorhes that he's a momma's boy (which he is shh

) it's gonna end badly.

Same here and that was when I was just beginning to watch Transformers but I was just yelling and crying and stuff (emotional much?

)

if you are that interested in history of transformers you should go to https://shop.idwpublishing.com/comic...nsformers.html they have comic's and trade paperbacks for sale. the history of transformers is different from the original cartoon the comics and the live action movie. but idw has prequel and other stories to explain the movie and the cartoon and has its own story line. there is alot of information in print the movie took a little from each story line and created its own. i hope this is helpful?

Here's a clip from that episode. And in case anyone is wondering, The beast wars Megatron tried to kill G1 Prime while he was is stasis lock. That's why his head is all messed up.
