40 years later, and it still hits like a truck...

So are they adding some new scenes to this movie? After seeing all the comments online about how this movie traumatized a lot of kids when it was first shown, am I the weird one who actually loved this when it first came out? I've always thought that the movie is about Hotrod and his journey to become Rodimus Prime. Similar to the GI Joe movie where the premise is pushing Falcon as the main protagonist.

I'm honestly not sure how this is gonna play out, but I guess we'll know when the re-release comes around this September.

Well, I do see that new last scene they inserted somewhat troubling. Optimus Prime is a respected commander of the Autobots, and his lifeless body floating in space is rather disrespectful. It's like they just threw his body out into space. If they did, shouldn't he at least be in a coffin or something for a proper send off? I don't know, just some nitpick I guess.
