What happens to the passengers of transformers when they transform...and they are still inside?

I have always wondered about this I always assumed that they were crushed and killed if a transformer "opened up" while they had passengers inside. Anybody know?What happens to the passengers of transformers when they transform...and they are still inside?Autobots tend to kindof transform aroung the person, just letting them drop, but they always catch them with their newly transformed arms. i would presume deceptacons just let them fall and die or get smooshed.What happens to the passengers of transformers when they transform...and they are still inside?It really depends on the series / transformation of the character. For example, g1 characters had more blocky transformations in which segments, not parts, shift positions to form the robot modes. Based on his transformation, Generation 1 (the original 1980's) Bumblebee's transformation does not affect his alternate mode's seating area. Thus is can be assumed that you can sit inside of bumblebee's chest.



in the movie version, however, every single part moves in different spots to transform, leaving nothing totally intact. there are several instances in which transformers begin transforming while / immediately after disposing of any passengers. Bumblebee, when he's about to fight barricade, ejects sam and mikaela from himself by performing a sharp turn-around with the doors open. it is assumed that when barricade transforms, frenzy, his small partner, goes directly from his car mode passenger seat to the chest, from which he is ejected.



In Transformers 2, while optimus prime is driving away from Megatron while entering the forest, he transforms with sam still in his body. as a transformer can control his individual body functions as he transforms, it is possible that he transformed around sam, allowing him time to exit the truck, or simply pushed him out.



in the end of transformers, rampage, the red bulldozer, ejects sams parents prior to transforming.



in finality, it can be assumed that when the transformers transform, they will, in all likelyhood, crush their passengers. otherwise they would not care to eject their passengers prior to transforming.What happens to the passengers of transformers when they transform...and they are still inside?It depends on the Transformer, the series and the plotline. In Revenge of the Fallen, Sam's parents were dumped out of a Decepticon who was in robot mode at the time, and they were alive. I think Starscream had Dr. Arkeville in his chest cockpit thing at one point, though an earlier episode shows him opening that to pull out his Power Chip Rectifier.What happens to the passengers of transformers when they transform...and they are still inside?
The passengers will probably get crashed or ejected by the transformer they're in before he transforms himself.
