If compared to its contemporaries, It holds up pretty well. The planetoid fly-by in the intro certainly challenged the state of the art at the time. It's more closely related to Ghibli's Castle in the Sky [1986] in style, being produced by Toei Animation, especially if compared to its two box office winners that year, Bluth's An American Tail and Disney's The Great Mouse Detective. Is it trying to sell toys? Yes. Did families have to leave the theaters due to inconsolable children wailing over the death of Optimus Prime? Yes. Does it deserve more than 2.5 stars... Maybe not. Am I glad that it exists and broke ground to provide for the state of animated story telling today? Absolutely.

And there will be no sense of irony when they throw in with those rebelling against Gilliad.
I saw that line, buried at the end of the article, and shouted at the screen, "Yeah, you fuckin' should!" I want to live in the world where the president is terrified of the consequences of his or her actions.
