Sex & Nudity

  • During the end credits, a man in a wheelchair grabs a woman, pulls her onto his lap and kisses her without her permission. When she is free from his grasp, she orders her troops to have him arrested. They are old lovers and the arrest is her way of joking.
  • A woman is seen dressing and her back and her Bra is visible for a brief moment.
  • A woman is shown in her underwear, with the camera following her in a low, very revealing angle. She climbs on top of the hero craws and snuggles with him in a sensual way. She says I love you. They are not married, but are both in their late twenties.
  • One other scene is quite sensual. They make seductive gestures to each other and the man makes a sexual comment about his back side.

Violence & Gore

  • In one scene a man goes flying out of a window to his death one of the characters describes how he exploded on impact and he's blood and guts are all over the ground.
  • Level of violence:7.5/10.
  • Transformers cause very intense violence throughout. Although clearly a fantasy, both Autobots and Decepticons are shown using violence as a means to resolve conflict, including executions, robot dismemberment, knuckle dusters, missiles, and cannons. Although the film outlines Autobots as the heroes and Decepticons as the villains, it does not make a clear moral distinction between their methods, and presents violence as exciting and heroic.
  • Lots of scenes with massive destruction
  • Many people are injured during Transformer attacks. Many people are also killed, and it is shown graphically. Alien guns shoot people and they are shown exploding into a mess of clothing and bones, however it is not bloody. These scenes, while intense, are only shown directly and noticeably once.
  • Buildings, structures, vehicles etc are destroyed and blown up many times.

Profanity

  • 1 use of wanker. 1 full fucking awesome, 1 wtf, 1 in complete cluster fuck, 1 whispered what the fuck
  • 1 use of "fucking", 1 mouthed "what the fuck", 10 uses of "shit" (1 used as "bullshit"), 3 uses of "bitch", 8 uses of "hell", 3 uses of "damn", 14 uses of "ass" (2 used as "asshole", 1 used as "dumbass", 1 used as "smartass"), 1 use of "bastards", 1 use of "dick", 1 use of "dickhead", 3 uses of "Jesus".

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Some drinking is seen.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A robot character has his eye ripped out as he panics and screams. In the same scene he looses a second eye bye getting a bomb shoved on it. His head then explodes. It is not graphic however as he is a robot.
  • This movie is pretty intense.

Violence & Gore

  • In a decepticon-led execution, Que is shot with two powerful blasts and his head falls off.
  • Optimus Prime is shown executing Sentinel with a gun, this and one other scene is the only scene that shows what appears to be blood briefly, both times coming from robots.
  • Aaaaa.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The movie shows scenes where innocent people are shot by deceptions and obliterated, and therefore is very frightening and intense.
  • Ironhide's death is shocking and intense.
  • In the final battle, Optimus gets his right arm torn off and loses for the rest of the fight with dramatic sad music playing, this may be upsetting to younger viewers, especially for those who look up to the character, however he does overtake the villains and is victorious.
  • The second half of the movie is really scary, it shows decepticons brutally murdering people and autobots, also the destruction in Chicago leaves the hero's hopeless sometimes
