Transformers: The Movie (1986)

A giant ball of evil that eats planets is en route to Cybertron. Meanwhile, the Civil War between the honourable Autobots and the treacherous Deceptions rages on, meaning the new threat forces the Autobots to fight a war on two fronts. There will be heavy casualties.
It's not the most sophisticated story ever animated, but there are some interesting parallels and contrasts throughout. Mostly it's a series of action scenes that astound. For most people that's the reason they watched TF, so in that respect it delivered.
On a sadder note, it was the final film role for both Orson Welles and Scatman Crothers. Orson got the better role.
