SmashTV Presents: TransBAYmers

SmashTV Presents: TransBAYmers is a 2020 live-action/CGI-animated parody sci-fi action musical comedy film part of the SmashTV Presents series. It is a parody of Michael Bay's Transformers film series and is directed by Rick & Morty's Justin Roiland. The film was originally going to be directed by Judd Apatow, but dropped out in September 2018 due to personal reasons, but he will remain in the film as one of the producers.
The film was released on January 24th 2020 to positive reviews and was a box office success. It was originally set for a February 14th release that year, but was pushed to January 24 to avoid competition with Sonic The Hedgehog.
