The Transformers cartoon

The Transformers: The Movie was given a headline marquee billing at a New York City movie theater when Tracks was there. Make Tracks

Hoist was out taking a drive with Spike and Carly when they witnessed a couple of cars crashing. Little did they know that it was a movie stunt, and Hoist's daring rescue landed him a role in the film. Unfortunately, a number of the other Autobots decided this was a great idea and joined in too. Hoist was mortified by his fellow Autobots and the fact that the director kept referring to him as "Moist", but took part in filming anyway. Before long, the director decided to rethink the script and instead make Attack of the Alien Robots. Hoist and his friends found themselves wearing silly masks and being blown up. As it turned out, the Decepticons were searching Major Pictures studio for a reel of film, and Hoist helped Spike and Carly fake its destruction, prompting the Decepticons to leave. Hoist subsequently swore off the movie business. Hoist Goes Hollywood

Generation 1

Buster Witwicky, "O", and Jesse went to a screening of the film A Kiss for Us at the Community Drive-In. At the same time, the Autobots, new to Earth, were seeking out the planet's dominant lifeform and found a mass of cars stationed before the screen showing the film. The Autobots were bemused at the situation, speculating that it was a religious ritual for the Earthly machines involving "moving pictures of strange objects". Curious, they went into the drive-in to meet the machines, ignoring the confused cashier.

Buster and Jesse were making out during the movie in the front seat, annoying "O", who was unable to see the movie through their heads. At this moment, Bumblebee hit the back of Buster's car in an attempt to communicate with the vehicle. After Buster questioned the nonexistent driver of the yellow beetle, the Decepticons attacked the cars, seeking out the Autobots. The Autobots were outraged at the Decepticons' attack on the defenseless vehicles, who were apparently so entranced by the "ritual" that they could not defend themselves. Once the humans watching the film ran out of the cars and fled the battle, the Autobots finally concluded that "non-machine life" was dominant on Earth. The Transformers

Skullgrin was sent to Earth alone by Scorponok to construct a fuel depot in secret for his Decepticon comrades, but after Bigfoot-style sightings of him appeared in the gutter press, the Pretender caught the attention of film director Rollie Friendly, who offered him a role in Monster from Mars. Skullgrin agreed as long as he could be paid in fuel and the public and press went wild over him, making him a real movie star. However, the embittered Circuit Breaker suspected that he was really a robot and when he revealed his true form to his co-star Carissa Carr, Circuit Breaker attacked and destroyed both the film and his movie career.

Taking a look inside, the unit found Enter the Nightbird running, showing Nightbird kicking off a robot's head and distracting one of the unit by virtue of it being one of his favorite movies. As he sat down with a bowl of popcorn to watch his heroine in action, his colleague played a prank on him with the shadows of a Tako Tank toy's tentacles. Bombshell chose that moment to cerebro-shell the angered soldier, and when his partner came to investigate the sudden silence, did the same to him, though not before a warning could be sent out.
