1986 was a bright, jolly year for movies, reveling in the height of the decade’s notorious frolicking attitude. Tom Cruise got “goosed” in TOP GUN, Paul Hogan took us Down Under in CROCODILE DUNDEE, Molly Ringwold was PRETTY IN PINK, Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock played with whales in STAR TREK IV, Kurt Russell dealt with some BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, Rodney Dangerfield went BACK TO SCHOOL, and Matthew Broderick played hooky in FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF.
And yet, amid all that fun in the sun, the sparkle-eyed, carefree joy of children took a slightly darker turn, as the concept of death punctured one of the most popular toy and cartoon franchises of the decade when THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE (TF:TM) was unleashed upon an unsuspecting summer audience. Probably for the first time in their lives, kids across the country sat jaw-dropped as their beloved heroes of the past two years began dropping like flies, culminating in the gut-wrenching horror of the death of the most popular character in the series, the Autobot leader Optimus Prime.
Although the summer of 1986 left many an adolescent scarred, THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE ultimately became a cult classic among animated film junkies and 1980s retro-fans. 2011 marks the 25th Anniversary of the film’s original release, and we felt it only appropriate to commemorate the occasion by tracking down the man responsible for the explosive music that contributed greatly to the film’s memorability.
Read on, as Examiner spends time with soundtrack composer (and rock musician) Vince DiCola, as we discuss the past and the present of his life among god-sized robots – THE TRANSFORMERS!

Oakley to Release Special Edition “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” 3D Glasses
Limited Edition Oakley 3D Gascan® Honors New Film
FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oakley, Inc. today announced the upcoming release of limited edition 3D glasses with custom graphics that commemorate the debut of “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” a much anticipated 3D feature film. Available today, the Oakley 3D Gascan® Transformers Limited Edition offers unparalleled performance to provide the ultimate 3D entertainment experience.
“We are thrilled to have Oakley develop this product collaboration with Hasbro to bring even more excitement to audiences anticipating seeing this incredible first-ever Transformers film in 3D. The glasses are amazing!”
“We are honored to team up with Paramount Pictures and Hasbro to offer this unique limited edition 3D eyewear,” said Oakley CEO Colin Baden. “This film will push the envelope of 3D entertainment. With all the technology and talent that went into its creation, it deserves nothing less than the world’s best 3D glasses, and the innovations of Oakley 3D Gascan represent the state of the art. Our goal was to set the standard for optical performance in 3D, and we achieved it. Customers lucky enough to get their hands on this limited edition will have a rare collectible to commemorate a mind-blowing cinematic experience,” Baden concluded.
“We are thrilled to have Oakley develop this product collaboration with Hasbro to bring even more excitement to audiences anticipating seeing this incredible first-ever Transformers film in 3D. The glasses are amazing!” said LeeAnne Stables, Paramount Pictures’ EVP, Worldwide Marketing Partnerships.
This special edition of Oakley 3D glasses carries graphics inspired by the movie, which will debut in the U.S. on June 29th. One side of the frame is highlighted by the AUTOBOT SHIELD icon while the other carries the emblem of the DECEPTICON shield icon. Enriched with more film-inspired art, a custom Microclear™ bag is included for lens cleaning and frame storage.
Oakley 3D Gascan is the world’s first 3D eyewear that is “optically correct,” a term that does not refer to prescription correction. Conventional non-prescription lenses can distort vision but Oakley HDO™ 3D technology takes advantage of the company’s decades of optical innovation to maximize vision with clarity and fidelity while providing truer alignment of 3D images. The lens curvature gives the wearer a wide field of view while virtually eliminating glare and reflections. Oakley 3D lenses offer an uncompromising degree of color fidelity, allowing the wearer to see what the director had in mind for every shot. Made of comfortably lightweight O Matter®, the frame optimizes comfort with a precise Three-Point Fit.
Oakley 3D glasses have earned official certification by RealD®, the world’s most widely used 3D movie technology. In addition to maximizing the 3D cinema experience, Oakley is pursuing partnerships with manufacturers of home 3D systems that utilize passive polarization technology. This will allow consumers to use the same glasses for 3D entertainment in the home and the cinema.
To showcase the special edition release, select Oakley Stores will feature a 3D interactive experience with displays showing trailers from the new film. These retail locations include Oakley Stores in New York’s Times Square and SoHo, the Hollywood store, and the Market Street store in San Francisco. The product will also be available at other Oakley Stores as well as Oakley.com, Amazon.com, Sunglasshut.com and Zappos.com websites.
