The Transformers: The Movie (1986)

Edit this Page
Nelson Shin Director

The explosive theatrical debut of the popular cartoon series featuring an all star cast of 80's celebrities including Judd Nelson, Leonard Nimoy, & Hollywood legend Orson Welles in his final role.
Trivia:

Sadly it is understood that Orson Welles actually hated working on the film and later on when he was asked about it, he couldn't remember the name of his character. He even went as far as to describe them film by saying, "I play a big toy who attacks a bunch of smaller toys". The great thing about this is that his voice work being so hate filled for the project actually became rather suited to the character he played.
