Our take
Transformers One is a colourful animated prequel about two friends on Cybertron who become rivals. You get loud robot action, talk of past battles, and a couple of hells. No sex, drugs, or realistic gore. Fine for most children who already handle superhero fights. Younger or sensitive kids may find the later battles intense
Uplifting themes
Friendship, speaking up against injustice, and asking who a story is really serving Orion keeps trying to do right by ordinary workers even as the fight gets bigger
Story (may spoil tone)
The untold origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron, better known as sworn enemies, but once were friends bonded like brothers who changed the fate of Cybertron forever.

Talk after watching
- Orion and D-16 start as friends. What choices pull them apart?
- Workers are told a story about their world that is not the whole truth. Why does honesty matter?
