Dippy youngster Sam Witwicky (LaBeouf) is caught in the race to find a holy relic of robots who adapt by ‘transforming’ into local vehicles. On one side are the decent, human-protecting Autobots (Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ironhide and Jazz); on the other the cruel, destructive Decepticons (with Megatron, Starscream and Barricade). Activate!

I really don't remember the original cartoons, so the whole accuracy of the piece like having some of the same voice cast is lost on me but I thought it was great. Funny script with a large ensemble cast doing a great job and amazing CGI. I like Bay's style it's just that he needs a good script to back him up and here he has one, unlike say on Pearl Harbor
