33 Years of Transformers: The Movie! What part do you remember the most?

Hey Commanders!
Today is the 33rd Anniversary of the release of Transformers: The Movie! For many of us, this was our introduction to the world of Transformers! I know it was for me. The Series started before I was born, and ended before I was old enough to remember, but I remember watching the movie on VHS so many times that we destroyed the tape.
Eventually, I caught all of the episodes on re-runs, but the Movie started it all.
The part of the movie that I still remember the most vividly is the Assault on Autobot City. From Soundwave and his mini Cassettes "jamming" the Transmission, to Kup's look of shock as the Constructicons combined into Devastator (and the Dinobots trying their best to stop him), to Optimus's heroic line before starting his defence (Megatron must be stopped. No matter the cost), that entire sequence is more memorable to me than the aftermath (RIP Optimus).
Special 2nd place mention to Megatron meeting Orson Welles.
So, now tell me... What part do you remember the most vividly? Even if it's not a part in the actual film, but your experience with the film, we want to know!
Bonus Points for not saying the Death of Optimus.

"Noooobody summons MEGATRON!"
".....then it pleases me.... to be the first "
*shades meme*
Lol, but there’s funny parts to it, I remember Rodimus punching the teeth out of Gnaws mouth lol , and Rodimus trying to get Grimlock into the ship with a leash lol,
P.S. still to this day I watch this movie now on DVD, I know it by heart start to end it’s truly a G1 Masterpiece best Transformers Movie in history
If the rest of 2019, or entire year of 2020 was focused on G1 Movie bots in F2F, I would be in my 2nd childhood 😁

The priorities of Grimlock.....
Such heroic nonsense..
For some reason the end stuck on me.
Here's a hint
Seeing a planet sized robot God of death and chaos implode while his head gets sucked into a planets orbit as it’s new moon is probably gonna stick with most people
No, seriously... I thought it was hilarious, but who scripted that?!? 😆😆😆
2) Arcee's first appearance. Not gonna lie, as a wee little boi, I had a major crush on her.
I'm not even going to explain the next few lines, I'm sure they're immortalised in all our memories:
3) "Let the slaughter begin!"
4) "I've got better things to do than die tonight!"
5) "I have nothing BUT contempt for this court."
6) "Oh s***, what are we gonna do now?"(that one nearly got me into trouble with my parents)
6) "Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost" *You got the touch!*
7) "For a time, I allowed your wretched planet Cybertron to live, but now, you will witness, it's dismemberment"
And of course, how can we forget about that glam metal version of the theme song at the beginning of the movie? That entire film was a rollercoaster of emotions, and I don't quite think there'll ever be anything else like that.
Pretty. Damn. EPIC!
Furthermore, every time there was a terrible animation glitch in the G1 cartoon, so bad it was funny and makes me appreciate how I was born in 2000
Put your head in the microwave, and give yourself a tannn... DARE TO BE STUPID, DARE TO BE STOOPID!
I watched it not long ago. Never lost its magic, but as an adult it becomes easier to pick apart the logic.
*Wreck-gar* “Ba-weep-graaaaaahgna weep nini bong?”
*Junkions* “ BA-WEEP-GRAAAAAHGNA WEEP NINI BONG!!!” 😃
And the whole group has a dance party! Lol!! 😂
I also like the part where Hot Rod states that they have to stop Unicron! Then all the Junkions run towards the ship shouting “Kill The Grand Poobah!!” Lol!! 😂
It’s so funny how the Junkions speak with lines and phrases from TV shows! Lol!!
I’m pretty sure the “Grand Poobah” line came from the Flintstones! Haha!! 😂😂😂
This probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions Transformers The Movie, but it is definitely one of my favorite scenes.
I really can’t help feeling bad for all of the great characters that were lost in this movie, but most of my favorite characters were introduced in it, such as Ultra Magnus, Springer, Arcee, Hot Rod, Blurr, and Kup, and for villains, the chaos bringing evil maniac Unicron will always be one of my favorites as well.
So Happy Anniversary to Transformers The Movie!
Many people (including movie reviewers) have said that (despite the fact of loosing Optimus Prime) this movie made in 1986, is to this day the best movie ever made in the Transformers franchise!
So once again, Happy Anniversary to Transformers The Movie!!
The battle’s over, but the war has just begun, and this way it shall remain, until that day, Til All Are One!!
WORSE, THIS CONTINUED IN BAYVERSE.
Of course, Mr Narcissistic Director always has to out badass himself, so each subsequent film, Prime starts to refer to himself in 3rd person, plus even blurts out his own name as a battle cry.
*Sigh*
Shut up, Prime
"Hey, who you callin uncrasimatic?!"
"Cyclonus... transform, and ATTACK!"
"It's a pity you Autobots die so easily... or I might have a sense of satisfaction!"
"First we crack the shell, then we crack the nuts inside!"
But the ultimate moment for me was:
"Oh, how it pains me to do this..." That smirk, it just DEFINES Starscream.
I know Ive posted this before, but its appropriate for the thread
