As a super black woman I liked Skidz and Mudflap. Now I may be a little biased because those were my favorite cars. Even bought the car based on them. I didn’t have a problem with the way they sexualized Meghan Fox in the first movie because she was so smart. I almost didn’t notice it. It was the second movie where it got in the way for me. The biggest issue for me in these movies is that when they fought I couldn’t tell one from the other. Also the killed Ironhide.

Great retrospective

Fun (or not so fun, depending on how you roll) fact: The success of the first movie lead to Hasbro hiring a veteran animator from Cartoon Network to reboot another franchise to surprising (maybe too much) success… That reboot was My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. So you can thank Michael Bay and his Transformers movie for bronies existing. You’re welcome!

I don't wanna thank Michael Bay for eventually giving us Bronies MLP G4, so I won't

It isn't mentioned in the video, but Bumblebee turned from a prequel of the Bayformers film to a reboot during production and there were reshoots.

Sean did state "Paramount decided to hit the Reboot Button" before he began talking about it.
