“Till all are one!” This week on Super Hero Speak, Dave and Don Daniels are rolling out to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the animated masterpiece that traumatized an entire generation of kids: The Transformers: The Movie (1986).

Four decades later, we are looking back at the epic battle for Cybertron. We’re breaking down everything from the shocking death of Optimus Prime and the introduction of Hot Rod, to Orson Welles’ unforgettable final performance as the planet-eating Unicron. Plus, we have to talk about that absolutely legendary synth-rock soundtrack—because you can’t discuss this movie without blasting Stan Bush’s “The Touch.”

Does the animation still hold up? Was it just a brilliant ploy to sell new toys? Join us for this massive retro review to find out!
