Top Comments of this video!! :3
Saw this first run opening night; when Prime died the movie theatre erupted into chaos. Kids crying parents screaming. The lights came on the movie stopped, free snacks and drinks made the rounds until things calmed down and then we continued. After that every showing at my movie theatre had a parent warning. Such a wild ride!

2:00 The funny (sad?) thing is how Welles sounds so tired that it actually gives Unicron an odd bit of poignancy. I have no idea if it was deliberate, but I get the sense that Unicron is so old, and has done this so many times, that eating planets is a distasteful chore at this point. He's got a real "vampire who's lived too long" vibe going.

I was like nine when this came out. I remember absolutely driving my mom and the video rental store clerks nuts trying to get a hold of a copy. Back in those days, the wait between theater and video release was like 6 mos to a year, if memory serves. When I did manage to get it, I literally jumped out of the car when we got home and ran inside the house to put it in the VCR. Coolest thing I had ever seen up until that point. Of course, I lost it when Optimus was killed. . . yeah, my mom said that was one of those moments she knew I was a total dweeb.

Out of the dozen or so video stores in my town, there was one store that had one copy of this movie. Every time we walked in there, I beelined for it, only to find it had been rented out. There was no reserve option at this store, so it was months before I happened to arrive at the right time, and my eyes were greeted by the miracle of an available VHS tape behind the display cover. I almost couldn't believe it was finally happening. Everyone who lived through the time of video stores knows that feeling, and this was the apotheosis for me. The struggle was so long, and the disappointments so numerous.

Just a correction: the movie uses "The Touch" only two times, not three. In the scene referenced at 2:30 the music isn't "The Touch" but "Dare," also sung by Stan Bush (with orchestration by Vince DiCola). It does sound similar so the confusion is understandable. Great video!
