Everytime I went to see the movie, parents would bring their rugrats to it. I don't know why they would bring little kids and babies to see it. It did have mature themes and violence.The robots were scarier than the cartoon. Megs was scarier and so were the other decepticons who were suppose to scary. Even Bumblebee was scary,Prime and STarscream. In the cartoon, Prime is friendyl looking like Bumblebee. Starscream appears to be nice but is not. It is hard to deceive people if you look evil and ugly.
I too liked the movie, but I felt quite a few of them had a great vehicle/alt mode, but a sucky looking robot mode. Starscream is a good example, great in jet mode, but his robot shape is very top-heavy with weak looking legs
