The Transformers
My brothers and I loved Transformers (probably under heavy influence of a cousin whom my second brother worshipped). I think the appeal lies in the humanisation of the bots, and how good versus evil is played out. That good always triumphs, against great odds.
I saw the first animated movie. When Optimus Prime "died", we fought back tears.
Perceptor: I fear the wounds are... fatal.
Daniel: [long pause] Prime, you can't die.
Optimus Prime: Do not grieve. Soon I shall be one with the matrix.
Hot Rod: Prime.
Optimus Prime: Ultra Magnus, it is to you, old friend, I shall pass the matrix of leadership as it was passed to me.
Ultra Magnus: But Prime, I'm - I'm just a soldier. I - I'm not worthy.
Optimus Prime: Nor was I. But one day, an Autobot shall rise from our ranks, and use the power of the matrix to light our darkest hour.
[opens his chest to reveal the matrix. Removes it and begins to hand it over to Ultra Magnus]
Optimus Prime: Until that day, till all are one.
[Matrix starts to fall to the ground. Hot Rod catches it, gives it to Ultra Magnus. Ultra Magnus inserts it inside. Prime dies]
And when the Autobots seemed to be headed for a certain doom, Rodimus Prime saved the day.
Rodimus Prime: This is the end of the road, Galvatron.
[throws Galvatron through Unicron's hull and opens the Matrix]
Rodimus Prime: Now light our darkest hour!
The place blew up. And the soundtrack played. What a moment!
Michael Bay, please don't disappoint us.

TRansformers my all time favorite ... now looking for all the old series .... cant wait for the movie in July :D
Sban Boy : That kind of reveals how OLD we are, huh?
Transformer is one the most anticipated movies in this year. The sneak peak until now yet to showed the massive autobot vs decepticon war. I won't put too much anticipation for it but should be suitable for adults.
Let's hope it does the original cartoon justice!
What Does That Mean?
Till all are one, a bit ambiguous

Difference in interpertation.
I agree, it's a bit ambiguous. Maybe he meant that when the powers of the Matrix were unleashed all Autobots will unite and "become one", figuratively speaking?
