If there's such a thing as a good bad movie, this 1986 animated effort from Nelson Shin might easily qualify.
It has a giant planet-consuming robot attacking the Autobots who control the Earth.
To say the animation is atrocious and the script awful is putting it mildly.
But the film, which will soon be followed by a hopefully smoother new version, did launch the celebrity-voiced animation craze.
A bellowing Orson Welles, Leonard Nimoy, Robert Stack and Eric Idle are among them here, which may account for the film's cult status.
