Progressive
Primary
The film's dominant themes align with progressive values, primarily through its central conflict of advocating for the acceptance and integration of new Transformer species (Terrans) while critiquing a prejudiced, militaristic human organization (G.H.O.S.T.). The narrative consistently champions empathy and inclusive 'found family' as solutions to fear and division.
The series demonstrates significant diversity through the introduction of a non-binary Transformer character and a multiracial main human family. While the narrative strongly promotes acceptance and inclusion, it does not explicitly critique traditional identities in a negative light.
Secondary
Transformers: EarthSpark features Dot Malto, a main human parent, who is explicitly non-binary and uses they/them pronouns. Their identity is seamlessly integrated into the narrative, presented with dignity and normalcy. Dot is depicted as a capable, loving, and respected individual, contributing to an affirming portrayal of a non-binary character.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The series introduces new characters, including a non-binary character, but established legacy Transformers characters retain their canonical genders from previous iterations. No existing character's gender was altered.
The show introduces new human characters, the Malto family, who are original to this series. The robot characters (Cybertronians) do not possess a human race. No established legacy characters from prior Transformers media have undergone a race change.
