The DU Lounge

I felt sucker-punched by Prime's death in the movie and remember crying over it (though, in retrospect, the trailer showing him get hit several times should have given it away from me). Having been used to the TF cartoon and its sanitized violence and lack of death during the first two seasons, I was totally taken aback by seeing Prime and other Autobots getting slaughtered all within the first 20-30 mins of the film. I've read that it was originally going to show even MORE Autobots get killed during the city battle but they decided not to overdo it (though the deaths of many characters were implied since we didn't see a lot of them in Season 3). Also, I got pissed off because most of the Decepticons survived (or were changed) the carnage. It's still one of my all-time favorite movies right up there with the Star Wars movies and the film score done by Vince DiCola (Rocky IV) was amazing and I listen to it pretty much all the time (it has permanent residence on my iPod)
