A failed reporter is bonded to an alien entity, one of many symbiotes who have invaded Earth. But the being takes a liking to Earth and decides to protect it.
We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson's case, by shouting out one word - SHAZAM - this streetwise fourteen-year-old foster kid can turn into the grown-up superhero Shazam.

The Decepticons led by Shockwave, Soundwave and Starscream ambush them during the evacuation, and Optimus sends a young scout, B-127, to Earth in order to set up a base of operations where the Autobots can regroup. B-127 reaches Earth alone in 1987, crash-landing in California and disrupting a training exercise being conducted by Sector 7, a secret government agency that monitors extraterrestrial activity on Earth. Sector 7 agent Colonel Jack Burns presumes B-127 to be a hostile invader and attacks, driving B-127 into the forest, where he is then ambushed by the Decepticon Blitzwing.

Bumblebee's model is a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle with bumpers that were only available to the export versions of the Beetle. The yellow color of Bumblebee was also only available for the export version Volkswagens as the color in Germany was used by the then state owned German Postal Service (Deutsche Bundespost) and therefore the color was not available to the public until 1990.

Goofs
All of the Anachronisms listed here can be ignored by the concept that this is an alternate universe that does not have to fit our timeline. It is obviously an alternate universe because Transformers don't exist in ours. So to expect things in that universe to precisely match ours would be unrealistic. We note for example, this movie totally disagrees with the Last Knight presentation that Bumblebee fought against Hitler in WWII. Alternate universe. Timelines and dates irrelevant. See more »

Alternate Versions
The Australian release was censored; after the film initially received an M rating from the classification board the distributor (Paramount) decided to re-edit the film in order to obtain a more lucrative PG rating. Following some changes made to the film a modified version of the film was submitted to the board, however this modified version was still seen as being too strong originally and received the original M rating given to the film, however following an appeal from Paramount the film was lowered to PG on December 11th with the consumer advice now stating that the film contains "Mild science fiction violence and mild themes. Some scenes may scare young children". Both versions were approved for theatrical release. See more »
The issue is with storybuilding. How can aliens know to look like cars in cybertron? Or how do they learn about English even without stepping onto earth. Or how do they know to call earth earth in cybertron. And how do robots have memory with failed memory cells and how do they get fixed in middle of battle. Leaves a bad taste in mouth. I guess this franchise has been milked to the maximum extent possible. Nothing can beat original transformers..
