As long as it's based on the 80's cartoon and movie, NOT the gods-awful Michael Bay junk. You couldn't PAY me to play in the Bayverse!

Even the current comics are based on Generation 1. I doubt something as niche as a ttrpg would do any different.

But then how do you expect to get inspiration for describing how big you explosions are? Or when there's a massive plot-hole in a game you're DMing - OH NO EXPLOSION! Not to mention how stupid - OMG! ANOTHER EXPLOSION! CHAOTIC FIGHT SCENE THAT MAKES NO SENSE! - I mean it really helps with the plot -WTF? HOW DID LaBeouf GET A SUPERMODEL GIRLFRIEND?
Hmm. Okay, maybe I see your point.
