Symbolism in The Transformers Movie in 1984



The first Transformers movie was made in 1986. Thats 3 years after I was born, I saw the movie many times as a kid, and I could never put together the things I have found, until i watched it as a grown adult. You don't have to agree with my views. People are always saying, oh the Illuminati did it! The truth is they are subliminal messages, and they aren't the only Transformer movie that has them. This does not mean it has to do with Illuminati or even the Freemasons...But it very well could...I will do a post on the more recent Transformers movie later so you can see, they all have subliminal messages sent to us straight from the Directors and Producers in Hollywood. In this movie they mention a lot of common themes that conspiracy theorists use today about the war for oil or fuel, star gates, microchip implants on humans, brain washing, shape shifting, lost civilizations, reptile worship, and ancient ruling class bloodlines.


Unicron is a planet like robot, that has the power to destroy planets. It looks very similar to George Lucas' Death Star in Star Wars, which has exactly the same purpose. This is the only God like character in Transformers which has the ability to wipe out whole planets with just a single thought. The time period that this movie starts on is 2005....Strange...There is a continuous war for fuel or energy throughout this movie, and thats the main reason why Decepticons, and the Auto bots are in a constant battle. It is also the battle between good and evil, because the Decepticons are hell bent on being destructive, while the Auto Bots are trying to save the human race, as well as get more fuel. Sound familiar?


Lets talk about Optimus Prime in this movie. He is very much a Christ like Transformer. Optimus Prime prophesied his own death, and even later on, resurrects or rises again from the grave.


When he resurrects he flies directly into the Sun (Not Unicron, but Earth's sun)....But this doesn't happen in the movie, this is how the television series ended. This was the finale. Sounds a lot like Horus symbolism or maybe even Jesus. This movie to me represents the galactic fight of good vs evil. However does that mean it makes a good movie? or that the symbols have a divine purpose? I believe it does...


This is a picture of the resurrected Optimus Prime. He then flies into the Sun.


When Optimus Prime dies he attempts to pass the Matrix of wisdom to his long time friend Ultra Magnus. Optimus Prime's last words are "Till all are one." Magnus is very absent minded, and vacant, while holding this Matrix of wisdom, and the pressure causes him to crack.


Hot Rod gains control over the Matrix, and becomes Rodimus Prime. He is a fake Prime, or an Anti-Christ. In symbolic terms. This film ends with the Anti-Prime leading the chant: "Till all are one!". Sounds like a New World Order to me.


This is the picture of Galvatron, the result of Megatron selling his soul basically to the all powerful Unicron or planet destroying robot. He is the most demonic of all the Transformers including Megatron. He is the same robot, with the same memories, and same evil agenda. He is almost an incestuous son of Himself. Both Megatron, and Galvatron, transform into weapons instead of vehicles, this is very strange, and in the recent transformers movie they have removed that fact. That implies that they are controlled by a stronger evil, and are puppets of an evil purpose. For example who is really using the Gun that Megatron transforms into? Same with the Cannon that Galvatron transforms too....That i believe is an interesting question. Galvatron tosses aside all of Megatrons old squad of Decepticons, and paves the way for a new group of evil Decepticon minions...


These are all new characters that only existed in the movie. There purpose? The same as Megatron's old minions except more powerful, and granted power by the evil planet destroying robot Unicron. Its almost like all of the Decepticons, have sold there soul to the "illuminated" one. At this point in the movie even the Auto Bots faces change....Im not too sure the reasoning behind this, but it seems to have affected the Auto Bots as well.


Starscream shown above being entangled by a snake for some reason....Is a very interesting character. He is thirsty for power, and he wants to be the new leader of the Decepticons, and even helps to defeat Megatron for this purpose. He leads the Decepticons for a brief while, until Galvatron murders him, because he is not of the Megatron "bloodline" which I think is there to remind you that no one crosses the royal bloodline...Starscream's voice was played by Chris Latta, who also played the voice for Cobra Commander in the GI-Joe 80's cartoon series.


Chris Latta has died in real life, after making this movie. The reason for his death, is still not known.


As robots become more human, humans become more like robots, people are getting chip implants and are being brainwashed by the Decepticons, while the Auto Bots are recruiting people to become more like robots to fight this evil Decepticon threat.


Look familiar? This kid is willingly signing up to become a robot soldier, so that he can fight the evil Decepticons. Reminds me of conditioning for the war in Iraq, and the people that signed up to join the army to fight a hopeless war on terror.


Ok so this post is getting kind of long now but there is one more thing I would like to say about the 1986 Transformers movie. Unicron the all powerful planet destroying robot was played by the talented Hollywood movie star Orson Welles....He was dying and sick when he played this part and he did it anyways. Orson Welles died following the movies release, and the circumstances were very strange. Why did he feel it was so important to do this kids movie before he died? Very interesting stuff....


Here is a picture of Orson Welles doing the voice. Doesn't he look kind of creepy or is it just me? Let me know what you think in the comments like always. I love getting feed back from all my hard work and research, all this stuff was hard to do, i had to take screenshots while the movie was playing etc. I hope you enjoyed it. I will do posts about the symbolism in the newer Transformers movie too....This was made to show you that the Transformers genre of movies have always been full of symbolism, and like they have been telling us for 25 years, they are definitely "More than meets the eye" ;-)
