I remember a Transformers cartoon and there was like a gas in it and if the Autobots were in a place that the gas was in there, they would turn red and turn evil and fight each other. And also Optimus Prime was dead fist and then some Autobots bring him back to life And I think Rodimus has the matrix. What was that movie called?
Actually no. No knowledge of the TV series should affect you watching the movie. The story of the Autobots and the Decepticons is clearly explained in the movie. It doesn't matter is you've seen the TV shows or not. This movie is for everyone. Not everyone because there are some inappropriate terms used that you would usually hear in a high school. There is also one scene where a mother asks her son if he has been mas*****ting. It's not really a kids movie. But, despite that one scene, it's one of the best movies I've seen this summer and once again, no, you don't need to watch the TV series.
Yup, that was the episode in season three where Optimus Prime is brought back to life (after his death in the movie). The episode is called Return of Optimus Prime and is a two parter. The red stuff is rage and can pass if you get touched a la 28 days later. This is the episode that had Optimus return to life and get back the matrix from Rodimus (turning again back to Hot Rod). He unleashed the matrix to defeat the rage, but it empties the matrix of all it contained.
