And didn't it take Trypticon a while to get to Autobot City after he destroyed the Ark in "Five Faces of Darkness"?
It would make sense for the Autobots to want to defend both side of the country with outposts located in both the east (Autobot City) and the west (the Ark, pre-Trypticon).
One would think, but it was the U.S. government with which the Autobots had the best relationship and thus could get the easiest building permits from them.o.supreme wrote:I understand the idea of spreading out and creating a base far away to defend "both coasts" as it were, but one would think the Autobots would just build on another continent altogether as they wanted to protect the whole planet, not just the United States.

You were spot-on. I didn't pay attention to that part, or maybe subconsciously chose to not read it that way, but regardless I finally opened mine up, realized this, and now I feel extremely ripped off. There's no excuse for not including the 4:3 version in 4k.MiddleAgedGuy wrote:I registered just to comment on this topic. Unless I'm mixed up, Shout's press release states the new 4K version is only widescreen, not the complete full screen. If so, that's stupid. My interest in re-re-rebuying the movie has gone down to almost zero. Are they being devious and saving a 4K full screen for the next anniversary? Anyone else care? They got me excited and then disappointed me.
Yup, the roar of Unicron was a combination of the stock concussion sound effect and the roars of The Incredible Hulk from 1982, provided by Bob Holt. He died the month before the main recording, before he'd finished up on Go-bots. Arthur Burghardt had to step in as Cop-Tur for the last part of the run.

Are they ever going to release a normal version of this movie? Tone down the damn contrast! It's not that difficult.

What Scene setting are you using on your TV? General?

It has been. Shout! Factory made it pretty clear that what they put on DVD isn't going to look any better. The movie was produced on film, so it could be remastered over and over.

But I've never had a chance to take my kids. 3 years ago in 2018 during the last fathom events I had a schedule conflict. Now, of course, I just don't feel comfortable taking my kids to see it under the given conditions.
Maybe in 2026 for the 40th anniversary, by which time my kids will be 20 and 21 respectively , and *if* I'm even still around .
