Explain Transformers: The Movie to me

I have that DVD too, it sits right next to GI Joe the movie. I think I cried when Optimus died. Hell, if I watch it today, I may just cry again. I'm a total pussy when it comes to dying robots. I'm the same way when the batteries die in my CD player. Curled up in the fetal position, murmuring the words to, "I Was a Teenage Werewolf." 'sniff'

I'm pretty sure I crapped my pants when bumbelbee, or whoever it was said 'shit'. So now you know all of my secrets. I weap for dead electronics, and I'm incontinent. My parents died when I was 8, did you want to talk about that too?

Odds are the forced swear word was to guarantee the PG rating instead of a G rating. No humans died only big robots...so the censors probably slapped a G on it...and that's just not cool man. I'm not totally up on my movie rating history, but I think that Transformers: The Movie predates the PG13 rating, and going to see a G rated summer movie just isn’t “cool” if you’re 13.

Edit: PG-13 came into being on July 1, 1984...Transfomers was a 1986 movie...so a forced swear word to make is somewhat competive with PG-13 moves...amazing what one little word will do for your movie, isn't it?
