A shout out to Mike Carl who pointed out to me that a childhood love of mine is moving from the TV screen to the movie theater. The Transformers cartoon was a big hit in the 1980s and now we will see the first live action adaptation of it.
Watch the trailer here.
Kids at school started showing up with these amazing, transforming toys. That made me very eager to wake up on Sunday mornings and catch the cartoon on Channel 20 KTXH.
If you dig deeper on YouTube, you can find some better video that apparently shows screen tests of Optimus Prime actually transforming from his truck form.
There is also video of European car commercials with the same type of effects. Guess it was good practice for the film.
