On the run in the year 1987, Bumblebee finds refuge in a junkyard in a small Californian beach town. Charlie, on the cusp of turning 18 and trying to find her place in the world, discovers Bumblebee, battle-scarred and broken. When Charlie revives him, she quickly learns this is no ordinary yellow VW bug.

Movie Reviews:
- TriggerZ: Decent, by the numbers, popcorn movie. Better than the other live action Transformers movie, but still not very good. Best parts were the fight scenes, especially on Cybertron. Otherwise, it was average, 5/10.
- Gimly: Strong contender for best live-action _Transformers_ movie ever made, but Christ, what a low fuckin’ bar that is. The fact it isn’t the clear and absolute winner is a devastating criticism.
_Final rating:★★½ – Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
