Stan Bush's song "The Touch" is prominently featured in the film, having been originally written for the Sylvester Stallone film *Cobra* (1986).[19] A remix is in the 2012 video game *Transformers: Fall of Cybertron*,[20] and in the 2018 film *Bumblebee*. The soundtrack includes "Instruments of Destruction" by NRG,[21] "Dare" by Stan Bush,[22] "Nothin's Gonna Stand in Our Way" and "Hunger" by Kick Axe (credited as Spectre General),[23] "Dare To Be Stupid" by "Weird Al" Yankovic, and a hard rock remake of the *Transformers* TV theme song by Lion.[24] transformers the movie soundtrack 1986 download movies
*Download* https://t.co/Ay6VCKGPIM Gabe Toro of *CinemaBlend* wrote in 2014: "...*Transformers: The Movie* otherwise provides the sort of chase-heavy thrills that comes from robots that can become cars. Contrast that with Michael Bay's vision, where the robots basically abandon their transforming skills to have endless, violent punch-outs that annihilate cities. Bay's films show the action as a junkyard orgy. The '86 offering slows down to allow for actors like Leonard Nimoy and, yes, even Orson Welles to give actual performances. Fans of Michael Bay's *Transformers* movies are free to enjoy them. But they'll never top the gravity and excitement of *The Transformers: The Movie*."[45] One of the original demands of the Transformers toyline and cartoon series was that no female Transformers could appear, as the toys were marketed strictly towards boys. However, writer Ron Friedman fought hard to include female robots in the Transformers lore, as his daughter was a huge fan of the franchise. This lead to the creation of Arcee, a female Autobot debuting in this movie, as well as a number of other female characters introduced during season 2 of The Transformers (1984). Ironically, despite being one of the movie's feature characters, no toy of Arcee was produced during the entirety of the original Transformers line, though at least one rejected prototype was designed. Arcee became the most famous female character in the Transformers brand, and numerous incarnations of her appeared in various other cartoons, comics, movies and toy series, but this was only in 2014, 28 years after her introduction, that Hasbro finally released a toy based on this movie's design. In a bizarre kind of way, this could be said that the Decepticon 'Shockwave' appeared in two movies in 1986, the other being Aliens (1986). In the MedLab scene, just before Ripley reaches out to hug Newt after setting off the fire alarm, there is a futuristic piece of medical apparatus with three objects handing down off of it that can be briefly seen in the foreground. These objects are actually three Transformers toys, namely the Decepticon 'Shockwave' made by Hasbro in 1985 (though it's possible that the toy might even be the earlier 'Galactic Man' sold by Radio Shack). The toys have been spray-painted a dull silver colour and are displayed in their laser gun 'mode', but with each of the robot toy's arms (i.e. the laser gun's barrel) split apart. In this 'semi-transformation' the toy is made to look looks kind of like a futuristic grasping tool or perhaps even a laser scalpel. The movie was produced at the same time as G.I. Joe: The Movie (1987), by the same company. It had been agreed that both movies would suffer the loss of their lead heroes, Optimus Prime and Duke. Production started on G.I. Joe first, but Transformers ended up being completed and released first. Optimus Prime's death sparked a huge amount of controversy, causing the writers to change Duke's death to a coma. G.I. Joe was released direct to video. Had that movie been released first, Optimus Prime might have survived. In the theatrical release, Spike says "Oh shit, what are we going to do now!" when he and Bumblebee realize that blowing up the moon did not affect Unicron. "Oh shit" had been included to guarantee a PG rating; G-rated movies got fewer daily showings than other films at the time. The line was excised from home media releases until 2000, when it was restored on Rhino Home Video's release and has remained on subsequent releases. After you add a soundtrack, you can change its length like any other type of clip. You can also use more than one soundtrack in a project. For example, if you want to change the mood of the soundtrack over the course of your movie, you can trim the first soundtrack in the timeline, then place a different soundtrack after it. The Transformers franchise began in 1984 with a toy line and expanded exponentially to include animation, comic books, video games and films. As an adult, I was an outsider looking in at the time, but my boys, aged five and seven, became total Transformers toy fans. They were ubiquitous on store shelves and every birthday and Christmas for a couple of years had to include at least some configuration of Transformer toys for presents. I come by way of this picture only because it was an IMDb Top 250 selection in 1996, otherwise I wouldn't have any interest in it. Following the story line well enough, I was baffled by how the Autobot heroes were so easily and arbitrarily disposed of, like Optimus Prime (there's one I remember in my kids' collection), and Ultra Magnus, with the character Hot Rod finishing out the picture as Rodimus Prime. Another reviewer here makes sense of all this by stating that the merchandising for successive toy lines required new characters, so that kind of makes sense, but gee, what would have happened to Superman and Spider-Man if the comic book folks dispatched them that quickly. It took half a century for Superman to die and then he was brought back again! What really floored me about the picture was some of the big name talent that signed on to voice the characters here - Orson Welles, Leonard Nimoy, Robert Stack. Even Scatman Crothers! Holy cow, I wonder what these guys were thinking when they signed on for the gig. It couldn't be for lack of money. I'd really like to have been a fly on the wall when they brought Orson Welles in to pitch the idea. That must have been some show. As for the picture, I guess it's OK for a kids' product. The story moves along at a blistering pace, with colorful backgrounds and an almost anime-like quality. Keeping track of the characters can be an exercise in futility, with names like Megatron, Unicron, Galvatron, the Decepticons and Constructicons. Sounds like they'd need a panel discussion at the San Diego Comic-Con to put it all in perspective. If it all sounds like a lot of beryllium baloney, well I guess you just had to be there back in the day watching the TV show and movies. For my part, I'd be interested in a story about the Shrikebots on Dometron. The Autobots must stop a colossal planet consuming robot who goes after the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. At the same time, they must defend themselves against an all-out attack from the Decepticons. One of the odd quirks about cartoons in the 1980s was the use of various shows to sell toys. "Masters of the Universe", for example, was notorious for making toys first and introducing them as cartoons after. According to director Nelson Shin, the decisions on which Transformers characters to include or kill off in the movie were made by Hasbro, the toy company. "They created the story using characters that could best be merchandised for the film. Only with that consideration could I have freedom to change the storyline." And yet, within that restraint, Shin has created an iconic film. "Transformers: The Movie" is arguably the greatest cartoon movie of the 1980s. First of all, it features some of the most iconic characters of the decade, who have a longevity that continues more than thirty years later. The only others who can claim that are, maybe, the characters from My Little Pony. And second, the voice cast is epic. Even in an age when the word "epic" is overused, this is an epic cast: Orson Welles, Judd Nelson, Leonard Nimoy, Eric Idle, Robert Stack. Today, an A-list cast is not unusual in cartoons, but can any compete with these icons? What's more, the movie remains memorable years after viewing it because of some oddities. We have a kid's movie with the "S-word" being dropped. Just one, and at a very appropriate time, but who decided that was a good idea? Even more strange is the prominent use of Weird Al's "Dare to be Stupid" on the soundtrack. This is a strange song for any movie, but one about battling robots? This makes no sense. In honor of the 30th anniversary, Shout! Factory is offering the film on blu-ray with some very nice bonus features in September 2016. They have ported over previous features, such as the audio commentary with director Nelson Shin, story consultant Flint Dille and star Susan Blu (Arcee). But we also have "Transformers: The Restoration" showcasing the new 4K upgrade, and a brand new documentary with interviews from Flint Dille, cast members Gregg Berger (Grimlock), Susan Blu, Neil Ross (Springer), Dan Gilvezan (Bumblebee), singer / songwriter Stan Bush, composer Vince DiCola and others. A must-have? Heck yeah! The Blu-ray offers the movie's soundtrack in two options, either lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 or DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. The disc defaults to playback of the 2.0 track unless you manually select otherwise. Both sound like garbage, one slightly less than the other, but I can't blame Shout! Factory for that. 'Transformers: The Movie' has always had a lousy sound mix. Right from the very first scene, any time the action revs up in the movie, the soundtrack collapses and the volume shrinks down to nothing, as if a very crude dynamic range compression filter were applied. No amount of boosting at your receiver can bring life to it. Fidelity and dynamic range are awful throughout the film. Laser blasts and explosions are often barely audible at all. Even the rockin' tunes on the soundtrack vary in sound quality from (at best) reasonably adequate to strident and weak. The Blu-ray isn't as perfect as I'd like. The video transfer doesn't appear to have had as much work put into it as the restoration featurette on the disc implies, and the movie's soundtrack has inherent problems that may never be fixed. On the other hand, the disc is a decided upgrade from DVD and has some pretty interesting bonus content. If you love this movie as much as I do, it's a worthy purchase. eebf2c3492 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qtile-dev" group.
