Transformers was one of three planned films, along with 'My Little Pony' and 'G.I. Joe'. Sunbow planned it wrong, releasing Pony first, and then Transformers second, both failing at the box office. G.I. Joe was immediately sent straight to video.  -Thanks to Michael ManzanoWhen Sunbow was in the production stage of the movie 'G.I. Joe: The Movie' they first came up with the idea to kill off a lead character since the Duke action figure was planned to be discontinued. The writers for Transformers took the same idea, killing off Optimus Prime --but it resulted in a backlash, with parents outraged due to the traumatization of their children watching such drama in a theatrical cartoon. G.I. Joe's writers were forced to rewrite Duke's death to a critical injury! -Thanks to Michael ManzanoBoth Casey Kasem and Scatman Crothers appear as cameo voices. Orson Welles did the voice for Unicron. He sadly passed after making Transformers the Movie. -Thanks to Rick BarkhouseIn Italy Autobots were called "Autorobots", Decepticons became "Distructors", and the Italian name of Optimus Prime is Commander. -Thanks to GiorgioScatman Crothers (The Shining-original version) was the voice of Jazz, sadly this was the last movie he played in before his death. -Thanks to Cliff ColemanOh Sh*t was edited out of the movie when Spike says it after he blows up the moon to stop Unicron. Instead there is a pause before the next phrase "What are we going to do now?" -Thanks to Cliff ColemanThe voice of Blurr, John Moschitta Jr, holds the Guiness World record of "fastest talker." He is also the Micro Machines spokesman. -Thanks to Cliff ColemanThe script was written 2 years before the new Autobot characters were introduced in 1984 and 85. -Thanks to Cliff ColemanEric Idle of Monty Python fame also lends his vocal talents as Wreck-Gar. -Thanks to Tom WiddowsOptimus Prime originally was not going to return but when they decided to bring him back they re-did the episode "Dark Awakening". The Movie is refered to as "Till all are One" in some other countries. Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, Michael Bell, Chris Latta and Gregg Berger are in G.I. Joe and transformers movies! -Thanks to Skyknight0079Ultra Magnus is Optimus Prime's brother hence the reason the figure was a white Optimus Prime that hooks into the trailer. In the scene where the Dinobots attack Devastator, Devastator hits Sludge over the head. As he does so, Sludge's eyes pop out of his head and land back in his sockets in a classic Tom & Jerry slapstick style! This is totally out-of-keeping with the style of the rest of the movie, so it must be a joke slipped in by the animators. -Thanks to Paul LCybertron holds the esscence of Primus the brother of Unicron. Look closely, before the launcher scene, you will see Wheeljack and Wind Charger dead. (from Season 1 and 2) Starscream comes back as a ghost in Season 3. In the scene with autobot city when Galvatron attacks, you can see Snarl (Stegosaur Dinobot) running from laser fire. He is not anywhere else in the movie! -Thanks to SKyknight0079The voice for Galvatron was Leonard Nimoy who also played Spock from "Star Trek". -Thanks to Kevin« Click here to add some Transformers: The Movie trivia  Find much more great trivia in the filmmaker's commentary on the Transformers: The Movie DVD.Rediscover your favorites!

A heart-pounding soundtrack of heavy rock that captures the spirit of the excellent animation. Use our search feature to locate a copy. Track listing: 1. The Touch - Stan Bush 2. Instruments Of Destruction - N.R.G. 3. Death Of Optimus Prime - Vince DiCola 4. Dare - Stan Bush 5. Nothin's Gonna Stand In Our Way - Spectre General 6. The Transformers (Theme) - Lion 7. Escape - Vince DiCola 8. Hunger - Spectre General 9. Autobot/Decepticon Battle - Vince DiCola 10. Dare To Be Stupid - 'Weird Al' Yankovic The great song that keeps coming back throughout the movie is called "The Touch" and is an 80's hit performed by Stan Bush. However, in the 1997 blockbuster "Boogie Nights" you can hear Mark Wahlberg trying to make a recording in the movie using the same song. At first, you think that Mark is just making the song up since he is using the funniest sentences like "You got the touch, you got the power" "You're nobody's fool" "You're a winner". But seeing Transformers and realising that the song isn't a joke, really surprises you. But then again, as you hear the song in this incredible artful animated picture, you realise that it was a song with meaning. -Thanks to Gustaf LVince DiCola and Stan Bush often appear at Botcon, and other Transformers conventions. Vince has a band that actually goes to these things to play and sell music from the film. Vince released a second soundtrack for the movie, which you can purchase at these rare concerts. Songs like, "Ground Zero" featuring Stan Bush can be heard on this new compilation. -Thanks to The SaintThe Weird Al Yankovic song, "Dare to Be Stupid" is the background music for the sequence where the Transformers are dancing in the junkyard. -Thanks to Sarah TroianoThe excellent music of Vince DiCola can also be heard on the Rocky IV movie sountrack. The DVD includes a rare interview with DiCola. For "TF: TM," he was asked by producers Sunbow to submit a piece of music as a tryout. He was hired on the basis of that piece, even though it was never actually used in the final score. -Thanks to William K. Scurry JrThe name of the music piece Vince DiCola did was "Legacy". There are two versions of the theme for the Transformers movie. They are the version you hear in the film by Lion, and a different version that was a colaboration between Vince DiCola and Stan Bush. It is available on the album 'Till All Are One' which was released at a Transformers convention. -Thanks to Adam« Click here to add new music trivia for Transformers: The Movie Soundtrack Available: On CD | |||||||||||||||||||||||
