The animation, score and characters are FANTASTIC. I have watched it probably in triple figures by now and always spot something new. Shockprowl...is SHOCKFOOWL. -Ralph If it grates your cheese then it grates your cheese. That's ok. But to me.... It just grates my mellon. I have grown to really be quite displeased with it. That saddens me, but it's how I feel. And as sad as I feel for it, the more liberated I feel. It was a thing. But the thing that it thinged was not good.

Was The Hot Rod is an Idiot Gun
The little purple pistol Megatron grabs thanks to Hot Rod's stupidity in The Movie, that's now included in every high-end Megatron toy as a matter of course. Who's was it? How could a little pistol cause mortal wounds to The Great Prime? He's had worse in the past! More substantial hits! Like when Laserbeak swooped in and blasted him whilst he was being repaired that time. He exploded then! But only needed one spare part and he was back to normal.
HOW CAN THAT LITTLE PURPLE PISTOL DO SO MUCH DAMAGE?
....I hate Hot Rod.

Well, there's a little purple pistol with every high-end or G1y Megatron these days (and there was one in with Third Party Megatroun). And it got me thinking. Who's was it? How could it do such terrible damage?
And it draws attention to what an idiot Hot Rod is. IF IT WASN'T FOR HIM....

I have just acquired The Movie on blu-ray (having not bought it enough times before already). I shall investigate.

Was it referred to as something like "Pistol of Betrayal" for a time...?

Like when Laserbeak swooped in and blasted him whilst he was being repaired that time. That was in Divide and Conquer. I think Prime was pretty battered by that point in the fight with Megatron, the pistol wasn't powerful in its own right, it was just the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. *Makes mental note that Shockprowl needs to be sent a Legends Hot Rod to complete his own version of the scene* |

Yeah but in Divide and Conquer Prime EXPLODED! And still survived! |

Megatron had sliced Prime a few times with his lighsabre and then continued to focus on that open wound in the battle. Then blasted him again and again in that spot with the purple pistol.
That's why the wounds were fatal.

That's why the wounds were fatal. No, the wound was fatal because Hasbro had new leader toys to sell so the usual rules of the TF universe were altered/suspended to accommodate their new business model. Of course, the usual rules were reinstated for Ultra Magnus when he was blown up on Junk, because they wanted to sell Ultra Magnus toys in 1986. Martin |

Martin And Megatron was the head of Hasbro marketing at the time and was very hands on. It's why Prime dies, while Megatron gets snazzy new clothes. |

Yep. You know I've grown to dislike The Movie.
Which is sad. It's like an entire swathe of my life is just... gone...
just... gone...
But, that's how I feel about it, on my enlightened old age. The more I reevaluate it, the more I dislike it.

It's silly, predictable and dismissive.
The only good thing about it is Unicron.
Even Ultra Magnus was poor in it (not his fault, like,).
And oh boy do I hate Hot Rod.

concerned how wrong Shockprowl is about this film I'm concerned how the vibrant and enthusiastic youth we used to know and love is slowly turning into an embittered old man, set in his hardcore '84 ways. Walking the streets drinking from a brown paper bag, lurching from lampost to gutter muttering about the itchiness of headmasters and throwing stones at cats in case they turn into beastformers. It's sad. |

It's monotone whine was nearly as discombobulating as the pitiful guff that comes out if your mouth when you're defending Transformers 'The Movie'. |
