Whoever hired Lion to sing the theme song...genius. Yes, they could have gone with a new wave electronic band to match the TV theme (was the show out before the movie) but they went pure 80s rock...and it's classic, it's thunderous and it's awesome.
A while back I saw a Weird Al show and a fan I met outside told me how badly he wanted this album because of "Dare to be Stupid." I had the "Dare to Be Stupid Album"...great Al non-parody.
"The Touch" is also a classic and I believe is the song Dirk Diggler sings in Boogie Nights...is that right?
The rest is upbeat, positive 80s rock...and symphonic movie interludes...i think

Pure corny 80s rock.
I have a cassette I dubbed a couple years back, but I never have bought the soundtrack.
After seeing this flick in 1986, I wanted the Ultra Magnus toy badly. Joke was on me that he was one huge barely-moving thing. But at least he could carry the Autobot cars on his trailer. [/toyetic anecdote]

I decided it belonged in A&E instread of OB. More to do with a movie than a band.
What do you know? I know message boards better than you!

The only thing the Magnus toy was great for was the white Optimus, which could be used for when he was coated to protect him from spores. Duyuh!
I own the movie and the soundtrack. Both get a lot of flack, but I dig 'em. Besides, they fucking killed of Optimus Prime! Who does that? Nobody does that.

I'm going to watch this flick tonight.
That white Optimus was neat to have, since I didn't have the real Optimus.
Like every other kid who owned Prime or Magnus, I lost the fists within a week.

I never lost the Optimus' fists, but I remember breaking his gun.

I had a lot of Transformer breakage. Buzzsaw (tape that came with Soundwave) fell apart because I transformed it so many times. The legs fell off and the head popped out.
The things weren't made for five-year-olds, that much became obvious.
my favorite animated show of the 80's
and one of my favorite animated movies of all time
i loved the soundtrack for the movie ... those days ... and still do today
just that weird al yankovic track kinda ruined ... the soundtrack
