Though Hot Rod actually touches the Matrix before Magnus does. Prime relates a prophecy: "One day, an Autobot shall rise from our ranks, and use the power of the Matrix to light our darkest hour.
This sequence of events is observed remotely by Unicron, who appears unusually concerned by the survival of the Matrix. The Decepticons are making their escape aboard Astrotrain , but he is too overloaded to fly home under his own power.
After putting the matter to a vote, the Decepticons decide to throw their injured members off the ship to better the chance of survival for the rest. One of the most severely injured Decepticons is Megatron, who Starscream has the honour of tossing out and, after a free-for-all for leadership breaks out among the others, claims leadership of the Decepticon army.
Megatron and the other Decepticons adrift then encounter Unicron in interstellar space. Unicron offers to rebuild Megatron and his minions in exchange for their service. Megatron, facing the alternative of being propelled further out into space, is forced to agree and reformatted into Galvatron.
The other Decepticons follow suit and become Cyclonus , Scourge , and the Sweeps. Unicron supplies them a ship and sends them to kill Ultra Magnus and destroy the Matrix, since the Matrix is his only serious obstacle. Galvatron first stops off on Cybertron to take his revenge by killing Starscream and reclaiming leadership of the Decepticons. Almost immediately afterwards, Unicron arrives in Cybertron's vicinity and devours at least two moons—both of the Autobots' moonbases are devoured, but not before getting distress calls out to Autobot City.
During the bases' destruction, Spike and Bumblebee rig Moonbase 2 to explode, but this proves to be a vain maneuver, and they end up swallowed whole like Jazz and Cliffjumper. Under Unicron's coercion, Galvatron finally heads to Earth to kill Ultra Magnus, but Magnus and the other surviving Autobots flee under fire in a pair of shuttles.
Galvatron's fleet pursues the shuttles, eventually manages to cause one crewed by Kup, Hot Rod and the Dinobots to crash on yet another metal planet, Quintessa , and detonates the other with a volley of missiles. However, the Autobots in the second shuttle escape unnoticed by detaching the command pod of their shuttle just before impact and the resulting destruction of the hind quarters of their ship. The Autobots in the downed shuttle— Hot Rod , Kup , and the Dinobots —find themselves separated and in a hostile environment.
Hot Rod and Kup are met by an Allicon squad, who they attempt to placate with Energon goodies each. However, the pair quickly runs dry of treats and are captured and taken before a Quintesson judge and his court. While being held over for trial, they learn the name and nature of Unicron from Kranix , sole survivor of Lithone.
The pair is summarily tried and sentenced to death. Meanwhile, the Dinobots befriend a young, mischievous Autobot named Wheelie who has been living alone on Quintessa. Together, they crash the execution just as Hot Rod and Kup are fighting losing odds against the Quintessons' executioners, the Sharkticons.
The tide quickly turns, and the Autobots commandeer a Quintesson cruiser. The other group of Autobots has landed on the planet Junkion to make repairs, but are assaulted yet again by Galvatron, who was tipped off to their survival and whereabouts by Unicron.
During the battle, Ultra Magnus tries to open the Matrix to use its power, but is unable to do so, and instead is killed.
Galvatron absconds with the Matrix, taking it away to Unicron, though with the intention of enslaving his master. The remaining Autobots— Perceptor , Springer , Arcee , and Spike 's son Daniel —are then ambushed by Junkions , the eponymous natives of Junkion, who are also transforming robots. This battle is cut short, however, by the arrival of Hot Rod's group in their Quintesson cruiser.
After the universal greeting is exchanged, they all make friends, and the Junkions restore Ultra Magnus to life to make amends. Together, the whole group travels to Cybertron in an effort to recover the Matrix. Galvatron tries to open the Matrix to unleash its power against Unicron, but fails to pry it open.
Unicron, not pleased with this attempted treachery, shocks Galvatron by transforming from a planet into a planet-sized robot. Unicron plucks Galvatron off his chest and swallows him, Matrix and all, and then begins attacking Cybertron itself in retribution. Shockwave scrambles the Decepticon forces to defend the planet, but they are ineffective against so large an enemy. Shortly the Autobots arrive from Junkion and fly the Quintesson cruiser straight through Unicron's left eye.
This impact wrecks the ship, and the Autobots fall out inside Unicron. Hot Rod, separated from the others, eventually runs into Galvatron. He then opens the Matrix, which fills Unicron with light and sets off detonations throughout his body. In the meantime, the other Autobots inside Unicron locate and rescue some of their comrades from the moonbases, including Jazz , Cliffjumper , Bumblebee and Daniel's father, Spike.
The Autobots, including Rodimus, escape through Unicron's right eye just as he begins to fall apart and explode. Leonard Nimoy Galvatron as Galvatron voice. Norman Alden Kranix as Kranix voice.

Turturro's character comes into the movie once Sam figures out that his glasses, passed down from his ancestor, play a vital role in this conflict between the two dueling factions of aliens.
Sector 7 is a para-military organization that specializes with alien threats like these. While Sam and Seymour don't initially get along, the two became unlikely allies as the series progressed.
Turturro appeared in the first three films, as well as "The Last Knight. Turturro is an iconic character actor , writer, and filmmaker in his own right — his presence added some legitimacy to the film. Turturro, 64, is still appearing in both blockbuster action films, as well as prestige TV.
The next two years are set to be big for Turturro: He has a new role in Guillermo del Toro's "Pinocchio," and is going to play famed "Batman" villain Carmine Falcone in the Robert Pattinson-led "Batman" film in Voight's character, Secretary Keller, was unaware of the existence of alien life until the agents of Sector 7 debriefed him — understandably, he was angry.
At the end of the film, he orders Sector 7 to be terminated, and to get rid of all the Decepticon bodies by dumping them in the ocean, theoretically stopping them for good it didn't work.
Voight didn't reprise the role in any subsequent films. Of course, the actor was already a legend by the time "Transformers" had rolled around. Voight began acting in Voight, 82, is still consistently acting. In , he apppeared in "Roe v. Wade," a dramatization of the Supreme Court case that decided that the right to an abortion without excessive restrictions from the government is a constitutional right.
Banachek led Sector 7, a top-secret military agency that not even Defense Secretary Keller knew about. Banachek was in charge of covering up the existence of the transformers, and kept the evil Megatron frozen inside the Hoover Dam to experiment on. This was his only appearance in the "Transformers" franchise. O'Neill was primarily a television actor at the time , most well-known for his government agent roles.
O'Neill, who turns 70 in May, is a working actor and continues to appear in TV shows frequently. Since , he's appeared in episodes of " But all "Grey's" fans recognize O'Neill for his upsetting arc in season six, when played Clark, a man whose wife dies — and though she has a DNR order do not resuscitate , he is unable to let her go, and blames the hospital for her death. Tragically, Clark returns to the hospital in the two-part finale for some of the most harrowing episodes of the show ever — which is saying a lot — that ends in the deaths of multiple doctors and patients, a miscarriage, and cases of PTSD for many of the survivors.
The effects of the shooting are still felt in season 17, more than 10 years later. Sam's dad's most famous moment comes from the beginning of the film, in which he pranks Sam by taking him to a Porsche dealership, before he reveals that Sam's actually getting a used car — which works out, because that's how Sam meets Bumblebee. Dunn was a frequent character actor at the time of his appearance, most famously he played White House Communications Director Alan Reed in "Dave," starring Kevin Kline.
Dunn, 64, is most recognizable now for his role as Ben Cafferty, the chief of staff for both the unseen former president and for Selina when she becomes the president in season three.
He was a recurring character in season two and joined the main cast in season three, remaining until the end. He's also had recurring roles in "True Detective" and "Code Black. Tommy wants to hear all about it, but Optimus doesn't have the time. Apparently, he needs to meet up with Joyride and help him repair the Space bridge. Tommy asks if he can tag along and Optimus tells him that if he can lift one of their two-ton screwdrivers, he can even help.
They summarily blast off into space. Tommy and Optimus meet up in the barren wasteland, though Prime isn't sure what Tommy wants. Tommy reminds him that he promised to tell him more about Unicron and Prime concedes that he's been having trouble with his memory chip, lately. Tommy tells him all about the Battle of Autobot City, but none if it rings a bell for Optimus. Prime asks Tommy to open up an access panel in the back of his head and check the circuit.
Tommy repairs the circuit, jogging Prime's memory Prime leaves off at the point where Jazz and Cliffjumper are eaten by Unicron. Tommy demands to hear more of the story, but Prime's memory chip explodes and smoke pours from the side of his head. All he sees are brief flashes of the further adventures of Hot Rod and the rest. The furthest he can see, though, is the "death" of Ultra Magnus when his shuttle is blown up by Galvatron.
Tommy expresses discontent, citing that the Autobots are "too cool to die". Prime says he knows there's more to the story, but with his faulty memory chip, he can't access the details. Tommy insists they get his chip fixed and so they blast off into space to do just that. Tommy finishes the repairs on Prime's memory chip, much to Prime's relief. Tommy asks Prime to test it out by continuing his story about the battle against Unicron. Prime indulges Tommy's request Prime leaves off at the point where Kup and Hot Rod are taken to the Sharkticon pits and watch as the survivors of Lithone are executed.
Tommy begs Prime to stop, claiming that the story thus far is too intense and depressing for him to handle. Prime asks if he wants to hear about how Kup and Hot Rod are fed to the Sharkticons, how the Autobots are menaced by "aliens made of junk" or how Ultra Magnus is blown to pieces by Galvatron.
Tommy suddenly changes his mind and demands to hear all the gory, macabre details. Prime sets Tommy back down in the barren wasteland and promises to return soon to transform his day into an adventure. He then blasts off into space.
Tommy and Optimus meet up once again in the barren wasteland. Tommy asks why Prime is so late for their appointment and Prime confesses that Grimlock took a wrong turn on the way over. Prime wishes he hadn't let the Dinobot fly the shuttle. Tommy asks if Prime has enough time to tell him more of the story and Prime assures him there's time enough Prime leaves off at the point where the Autobots team up with the Junkions to battle Unicron.
Tommy is incredulous, wondering what a bunch of aliens made of junk could possibly contribute to the battle against Unicron. Prime informs him that great adversities often bring out the best in people, citing Hot Rod as an example. Tommy begs to hear how the story ends, but Prime says that he must first take Grimlock to have his "brain circuits" upgraded. Setting Tommy down, Prime promises to be back soon to transform his day into an adventure.
Then he blasts off into space. Meeting again in the barren wasteland, Optimus asks Tommy if he's ready to hear the end of the story. Contrary to all the enthusiasm Tommy has shown during past storytimes, the human child laments that he's forgotten most of the tale thus far offering the flimsy excuse that his lack of an electronic brain makes remembering so many details impossible.
Prime gives him "a quick rundown" that takes four minutes and then proceeds to finish the epic yarn Prime finishes the story with the destruction of Unicron, the ascension of Rodimus Prime and the exile of the Decepticons.
Prime asks Tommy if he's satisfied, but Tommy just has more questions. Like what was up with the Quintessons? Did they drop Grimlock on his head when he was a kid?
And how did they ever bring Prime back to life? Prime tells Tommy to slow down. He has to attend an interstellar peace conference, but until he returns, he leaves Tommy with The Marvel UK comic made extensive use of the Movie as the basis for a series of stories involving the Transformers in the future.
However, there are several differences between the events seen on screen and those referenced in the comic:. In addition, Shockwave definitely survives the attack by Unicron. The US comic almost completely ignored the events of the Movie, though later in the run an alternative future is briefly shown in " Rhythms of Darkness! In this timeline at least some of the events of the Movie took place such as the creation of Galvatron from Megatron , which is dated to , though Prowl 's death was overlooked.
Wouldn't be the first time. Or the last. Several English-language versions of the film exist, with the following differences in content from the American theatrical run:.
None of these edits significantly affect the story. They should not be confused with various other sequences which were changed before the film's final release:. The Transformers: The Movie was almost universally panned by professional critics upon its release. Caryn James of the New York Times admitted in the August 9 , , edition of the paper that the film was intended for young children, pointing out that the kids in the audience were having a grand ole time with the Transformer toys and comics they brought with them to the theater, but derided the film as having little to no appeal to adults.
Variety's Film Reviews , Volume 19 was far less even-handed in their review, claiming the film had no appeal to adults or children. They predicted the film would perform poorly in the box office and were correct, in that regard.
Carrie Rickey of the Dallas Morning News chided the film in the August 13 , , issue of the paper, describing it as "essentially a cartoon Star Wars about robots from a toybox galaxy far, far away".
