Welles went on to explain the plot to Leaming as him menacing someone “called Something-or-other,” before being defeated and tearing himself “apart on screen.” But despite his disdain, Orson Welles’ work on Transformers is never anything less than stellar. The Hollywood icon’s distinctive voice brings a gravitas to Unicron that transcends the source material.
Orson Welles passed away on October 10, 1985—a little less than a year before Transformers: The Movie‘s August 8, 1986 debut. It’s a pity that Welles never got to see his final movie role. One can only assume he would have hated it.
Had Welles lived long enough to see the movie achieve cult status, would he have reevaluated his role in the movie’s long-lasting success?
We’d like to think so.
