Yesterday I finally had the opportunity of
seeing Transformers: The Movie (1986) on the big screen. The one-day screening
was a Fathom Events promotion.
When the film originally blessed
theaters on August 8th, 1986 my cousin told me how great it was when we were
both kids. I didn’t see it until 1988 when it aired on Sunday morning
television right before the cartoon was pulled from public television in favor
of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Fuck the Ninja Turtles. Transformers is the
greatest cartoon of all time.
I’ll never forget when Megatron
went ratchet and transformed into a hand-held ratchet so Starscream could blast
Ratchet, Iron Hide, Brawn and Prowl to death as their eyes ignited and the
black smoke of death billowed out of their mouths. When I saw this wild shit as
a kid, I was totally speechless.
As an adult, I was able to make
some observations that I wasn’t able to make 30 years ago in 1988. However 30
is approximately the number of years it takes the planet Saturn to make one
revolution around the sun (actually it’s 29.4 years, but I did qualify my
statement by saying “approximately”).
Both the Roman god and planet Saturn figure prominently in this film.
First of all, it returned to
theaters on September 27, 2018 which is the height of the Jewish holiday known
as Sukkot, which literally translates to “Feast of Tabernacles” in Hebrew. We know who runs
the American film industry based in Hollywood, so I won’t waste your time
getting in to all of the details. The book An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews
Invented Hollywood may be a good place to start if you don’t already know. The book came out 30 years ago.
During Sukkot—which is
celebrated for 8 days—Jews DEVOUR their dinner outdoors inside of a black cube
enclosure (although colors may vary). A cube has 8 points. The holiday lasts 8 days and the planet Saturn
is synonymous with the number 8 in Western numerology. It’s also associated
with blackness. Jews obey the Sabbath on Saturday which is literally “Saturn’s
day.”
In both eastern and western
astrology the planet Saturn brings trials, tribulation, and hardship to people,
especially if they are not hardworking and vigilant in their day-to-day lives. Saturn
is a JUDGE, which is why judges wear black, which is the color of lead, the alchemical element tied to Saturn.
In Roman mythology, Saturn—who
was known as Kronos in ancient Greece—is the DEVOURER of his children. In
Transformers: The Movie, the planet
Unicron takes on the adversarial role of Saturn.
His very image is based on the
cover of Liz Greene’s astrology book entitled Saturn: A New Look at an Old Devil.
Unicorn also DEVOURS his children in the movie as he consumed the Decepticon leader
Galvatron, whom he created, after Galvatron brings him the Autobot Matrix
of Leadership.
Unicron
There is a Holy Grail aspect to
the Autobot Matrix of Leadership, so we can easily say that it represents the womb. I
won’t drive that point home though. There is already an excellent article by Bridgewater
State University professor Jessica Lévai on that subject entitled Evidenceof the Female Divine in Transformers: The Movie that does the job.
In the movie, Unicron, who is essentially a
robotic version of the god Saturn, tells Megatron that the matrix, the womb, is
“the one thing; the only thing” that stands in the way of his quest for power
and total domination of the cosmos.
As Transformers the Movie returned to theaters
for just one day on September 27, 2018, the world was watching the accusations
of Christine Blasey Ford on Capital Hill. During the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, she said that U.S. Supreme Court JUDGE nominee Brett
Kavanaugh raped her as a teen.
The surname “Ford” brings to
mind the automobile titan, Ford Motors which manufacture cars. Autobots usually take the form of cars. The name “Christine”
is the feminine version of the title “Christ.” In Transformers: The Movie the
car automobile cast in the Christ role is Hot Rod, who undergoes the transfiguration
into Rodimus Prime who then owns the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. Christine Blasey
Ford may just be “The One” who “lights our darkest hour” on America’s political
theater stage.
Kavanaugh’s allegedly dark and
predatory relationship with a womb, which is a matrix that belongs to Ms. Ford,
may be “the one thing; the only thing” that stands in the way of his political
rise to power as a Supreme Court JUDGE. There are other women who have accused
Donald Trump's nominee of rape, which is something to consider. Interestingly enough, Trump has been
accused of ravaging some box himself. Grab 'em by the Tefillin.
It’s also worth noting that in
the realm of astrology Saturn plays the role of JUDGE. Through Ptah-Sokaric
Synchronicity Kavanaugh has been cast in the role of Unicron, who is based on
Saturn during the Jews’ Saturnian holiday of Sukkot.
