And the death of Optimus Prime, the father figure to the autobots as well as a generation. Lest we forget.
It never bothered me as a kid because I always thought S3 and S4 of G1 was infinitely better than S1 or S2. Moving things into space turned it into proper science fiction. I’ll take Call of the Primitives or Fight or Flee over The Girl Who Loved Powerglide any day of the week.
The toys were a lot cooler as well.
I thought the movie was awesome then and I think it’s even better now.
