Transformers: The Movie/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The Touch by Stan Bush is with out a doubt THE Crowning Music of Heartwarming of 1980's rock: Unapologetically encouraging you that "You're at your best when the going gets tough!! You've been put to the test, but it's never enough." Makes you want to be a hero just listening to it.
  • Kup telling Rodimus Prime "I knew you had potential, lad".
  • Soundwave carrying Megatron to the shuttle after he was badly injured made me tear up because of what it said about how loyal Soundwave was to his leader. Especially since Megatron looked rather pathetic, begged him not to leave, and Soundwave replies with a succinct, "As you command."
  • An often overlooked moment is Ultra Magnus' actions on Junkion. Having watched all but a small fraction of the Autobots be wiped out and not knowing if Hot Rod's group was still alive, orders the others to fall back as vast numbers of Decepticons appear. As they do he turns and fires at an overhang hiding his friends from the attacking forces and preventing them from helping him or being reached by the Decepticons, then turns to fight them. He lasts about five seconds.
