Admittedly I'm not a hardcore Transformers fan. I grew up with it; I've got an original Soundwave and Bumblebee on my shelf (thoroughly enjoyed and missing a couple stickers); and I quite like the PS2 game.
But one simply must acknowledge the 20th Anniversary re-release of The Movie. Fair enough, the actual anniversary date was August, but I'm not the demographic to remember that. Amazon tells me what's new, and I happily click-thru so they can gather their metrics. And hey, the U.K. got it a day early!
It's charming in a cheezy way that millions in America who grew up watching this animated series will get out and (hopefully) rock the vote today, and they can later enjoy, quite possibly with their mini-cons..errr... children, one of the seminal experiences of 80's popular culture.
One that actually saw humans in a hopeful light of limitless potential.
Vote Prime, for a better Earth.
