Message
3/5 | The movie centers on teamwork, courage, and perseverance in the face of difficult odds. The story also requires humans to have empathy for the Transformers and vice-versa. The groups must put aside selfish interests in favor of a unified front to stop Unicron, and they learn to trust and rely on one another.

Role model
3/5 | Noah and Elena are both brave, intelligent, and selfless. They don't hesitate to put their own lives in danger if it means saving their families or the world. The Autobots and Primals are dedicated to protecting humans and the Earth, but Optimus Prime isn't initially ready to trust humans the way that Optimus Primal does.

Diverse
4/5 | The two main human characters are Noah, a young Puerto Rican man (played by Anthony Ramos), and Elena, a young Black woman (Dominique Fishback), who are both from Brooklyn, New York. Elena is also a smart and capable archaeologist. The movie also introduces Noah's close-knit Puerto Rican family, including his single mother and younger brother, who has sickle-cell anemia. The actors who voice the Transformers are from a variety of racial/ethnic backgrounds; director Steven Caple Jr. is Black and Hispanic.

Violence
4/5 | Big explosions, one-on-one fights, and large-scale battles that threaten property and individuals. Combat to the death between robotic (but intelligent and self-aware) aliens that seems to kill a couple of beloved Transformers. The rest of the kill count is villains. Serious high-speed pursuits lead to many accidents, although it's unclear whether any of them are fatal (they would at the very least cause severe injuries). The movie's main villain wants to devour and destroy the entire planet.

|
Sex
1/5 | Elena rests her head on Noah's shoulder and occasionally accepts his hand as they run or move out of the way of danger. One suggestive comment: Noah introduces Mirage as a "work friend," to which Mirage replies "Friends? But you've been inside me," referring to the fact that Noah has been in the driver's seat of Mirage in Porsche form.

|
Language
3/5 | Occasional use of "s--t," plus "ass," "damn," and the euphemism "fudge." The Spanish term "cojones" is said (it translates to "balls" in English).

Consumerism
4/5 | The entire film is virtually a commercial for Hasbro toys. On camera, the Transformers disguise themselves as specific cars/vehicles: Porsche, Ford, Volkwagen, Chevrolet Camaro, Nissan Skyline GT, Ducati 916, Freightliner FLA, GMC C7000 Tow Truck, as well as Twizzlers. Off camera: merchandise includes apparel, games, figurines, and other tie-ins.
