If you’re an old fart like me and actually grew up in the ’80s, you might remember a popular cartoon about a bunch of robots that ran around shooting each other, then changing into a big semi truck or jet plane and zooming off, all the while promoting the good-wins-over-evil mantra.
The Transformers was one of my favorite cartoons back then and I watched it religiously. I recently acquired many of the episodes on VHS (they’re these long, black cartridges that people used to watch movies on, back in the day) and the local video store carries the Transformers movie if I really want a dose of the old days.
Well, now it looks like Dreamworks, the Steven Spielberg studio, is going to release a live-action version, slated for a summer 2006 release. If it were anyone else, I’d wonder about the outcome, but with Spielberg behind this, it sounds like something I’ll go see, if only to relieve a moment of my youth on the big screen.
Best cartoon series ever. That’s all I have to say.
I always though that the transformers slogan was “more than meets the eyes”. Did they have two? any?
I know the theme song word-for-word:
“Transformers, robots in disguise,
Transformers, more than meets the eye.
The Autobots wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of –
the Decepticons.”
you guys are awesome. ive been trying to fiure out the words to this song forever. haha
” Well that’s just PRIME ” My favorite quote :)
