"I will not be defeated by a garbage scow!"

Entertaining follow-up to Transformers: The Movie and the opening five episodes of the third season of the Transformers TV series. It continues from where the movie left off, with Rodmius Prime now leading the Autobots. It also reunites Galvatron with the struggling Decepticons and focuses a lot on the Quintesson characters from the movie, giving their backstory and connecting them to the origin of the Transformers. It sets up some interesting stories for the rest of the third season, which doesn't always get the respect it should as it was a pretty well-written season. The biggest complaints I have about this (as well as the third season overall) are that the animation isn't the greatest and some of the better voices from the movie (like Leonard Nimoy, Robert Stack, and Judd Nelson) are different here. But still, if you enjoy the Transformers and weren't put off by the movie like some fans were at the time, you should enjoy this and the season that followed.

It was okay...

Funny, but I never knew this 1986 animated movie existed before now in 2026, as I stumbled upon it by random chance. Or maybe I did, but the recollection of it had just entirely been erased from my memory. And since I grew up with 1980s cartoons, of course I needed no persuasion to sit down and watch "Transformers: Five Faces of Darkness".Writer Flint Dille put together an entertaining enough script and storyline here. It was definitely something you would expect from the mid-1980s Transformers era. So thumbs up for that.With "Transformers: Five Faces of Darkness" being an animated movie, then a proper voice cast ensemble is important, and they did have that here.While I didn't recall even half of the robots on the screen, there were some familiar ones, and it was a trip down memory lane nonetheless. The art style in the movie is good, because it is that classic 1980s animation style, so there is a hefty sense of nostalgia associated with this."Transformers: Five Faces of Darkness" certainly was watchable, but hardly something that spurred an urge for me to sit down and watch through all the 1980s "Transformers" cartoons once again.My rating of directors Andy Kim and Ray Lee's 1986 animated movie "Transformers: Five Faces of Darkness" lands on a six out of ten stars.
