Devourer of worlds

It's fashionable among classic moviebuffs to lament that this is Orson Welles' final role. Oh, how the mighty have fallen, etc. That's ridiculous. It may just be an 80's cartoon/toy commercial, but it's the best of it's kind ever made. The movie's plot is market-driven (Like the Bay films..), but in a devastating way for children. In the opening scenes, all the transformers you bought in previous seasons are killed, to make way for new models, and 20-30 new ones are introduced. The animation is of a higher standard than average, there's a lot of ringers in the cast, Leonard Nimoy and Huge star (in the 80's) Judd Nelson. But I think it's a fitting swansong for Orson Welles that he played the logical extrapolation of the 'robots that can transform into anything' paradigm. The new films add all sorts of testicles to devastator and whatnot. But he fails in topping that. There is no topping it, really. This is the citizen kane of robot cartoons, because it has Orson Welles in it.
