While tending her backyard garden, Judy lamented Ron's less-than-professional job at laying paving tiles for their garden path. When Sam left for a party, she had the chance to observe Sam's new car in action. Upon seeing it emit a large cloud of black smoke, she paused for a moment, then told Ron that he was cheap. Ron maintained that since it was Sam's first car, it was supposed to do that. It's unlikely she believed that.
On the day that Sam's car chased him around town, she was enjoying an evening of television and a little drinking with her husband when Sam came home three minutes past his curfew. Judy felt that he should be grounded for this, but Ron—that pushover—let him off the hook. While the Autobots milled around in her back yard (and crushed her flowers and new water fountain), Sam and Mikaela Banes snuck into Sam's room to look for Archibald Witwicky's glasses. Just a few minutes later, Ratchet accidentally stumbled into the house's power lines, cutting the block's electricity, and fell down. Ron thought it was an earthquake and took cover under the dining room table. Amazed and still sitting on the couch, Judy looked over to him and asked, "How'd you get over there so fast?"
Just a moment later, they headed upstairs to Sam's room, from where noises and lights were originating. She begged Sam to open his locked door before Ron started counting. Just before Ron reached zero, Sam opened up. Judy asked him why he was all grimy and sweaty. He was acting strangely. She asked—not judgmentally, just trying to get to the bottom of things—if he'd been masturbating. She seemed to be the only person not embarrassed by this, and had a few suggestions as to what the act could be called if her son was uncomfortable referring to it as masturbation. Eventually, Mikaela—who had been hiding—stood up to try to explain things. Judy was delighted to realize that Sam had been hiding a girl in his room. She complimented Mikaela and apologized for making her sit through their "family discussion". Mikaela told Sam she thought his mother was very nice.
Sam and Mikaela then went down to get his backpack from the kitchen, but they were interrupted when government agents swarmed the house, stepping all over her flower beds, and started asking questions. Judy bravely stood up to the men, threatening to beat the crap out of them for touching her plants and to kick their asses if they hurt Mojo, but eventually the whole family was carted off.
Much later, after the Decepticons were defeated, Judy and Ron were interviewed for a newscast of some sort. They pish-poshed the idea that aliens had been tromping around the area, and expressed their faith that the government would let us know about that sort of thing if it were going on. After the interview, Judy awkwardly pointed out that their interviewer's head is a different shape in person than on television. Transformers

Two years after the "incident" in Mission City, Sam had graduated high school and received a scholarship to Princeton. Being the overprotective mother she was, Judy was having a hard time letting Sam go, especially after she found his baby booties. Hugging him tightly, she insisted that Sam come home for every holiday, not just Christmas, but little ones like Halloween and President's Day. Upon learning the university didn't give those days off, she announced that they would go and visit him. Ron finally intervened and told Judy to go get packed for their trip to France. As she was bringing her things out, Judy asked if Ron knew it would be this hard. His less than sympathetic response made Judy switch from depressive to manic, and she said she didn't want to go on vacation with him, walking back into the house... at which point Bumblebee began shooting up the backyard at her kitchen. Running out in a panic, Judy scooped up Mojo and Frankie and ran out to the front yard. As Mikaela showed up, Judy angrily informed Sam that the minute he left, Bumblebee was gone, as she couldn't live with a psychotic alien in her house. Ron reminded Judy to remain quiet in front of the firefighters, reminding her that the government would pay for the damage if they kept quiet, and to consider it the start of their remodeling. Judy announced that if they were remodeling, she was getting both a pool and a hot tub, and going skinny dipping, and Ron couldn't complain about it.
After a cross country plane ride, the Witwicky family arrived at Princeton. Judy's previous fears of leaving Sam faded as she entered the campus, saying she could feel smarter already, just from the smell. Ron moaned that it smelled like forty thousand dollars a year. As Sam settled with his nice young roommate Leo Spitz, Judy purchased a brownie laced with a special ingredient, leaving her high on life (and cannabis). She nearly blew the family's big secret with the Autobots until Ron was able to drag his stoned wife to the car.
As Sam slowly went insane from AllSpark knowledge in his head and Optimus Prime gave his life defending Sam from Megatron, Judy and Ron were enjoying lunch at a cafe in Paris, with Judy eager to try new things. She started off with some escargot, which was not a good choice in her mind. Her phone then rang, and as Judy answered, some pervert began a heavy breathing act and asking about Sam. Disgusted, Judy told the pervert that she would report him to the French foreign legion and hung up. Suddenly, two meteors struck Paris, once of them hitting a bell tower near their cafe. As Ron and Judy fled for cover, a Decepticon arrived and grabbed them.
Taken to Egypt, Ron and Judy were held inside a bulldozer and were guarded by an evil cat. They were released by Starscream to lure Sam into a trap. However, Ron and Judy told Sam to just run and hide, as the Decepticons would kill them anyway. However, Sam was distracting the Decepticons so Bumblebee could jump in and take them out. Although nearly crushed in the brawl, the Witwickys survived, and Sam ordered Bumblebee to take them away from the battle. Conversely, they managed to make their way to a safe area when Sam was killed by Megatron, with both parents panicking over his body. However, something revived Sam, and he used some dagger to revive Optimus Prime, who then defeated The Fallen. After the battle, Judy and Ron gave Sam a proud hug. Revenge of the Fallen

Ron and Judy Witwicky were present at the White House when Sam got a medal from President Barack Obama commending him for saving the world twice.
They decided to pay Sam a visit while he was looking for a job in Washington, D.C. Upon learning that his son did not yet get a job, Ron was very upset, commenting that sucked.
Later, Sam asked for the whereabouts of his girlfriend, Carly Spencer after a Decepticon attack on Washington, D.C. Judy admonished Sam for getting into an argument with her and causing her to leave, and Ron promptly gave an example of the devotion their son was supposed to give. This inspired Sam to go to Chicago to rescue Carly, and asked Ron and Judy to leave Washington, D.C. for their safety. Dark of the Moon

In 2003, Judy witnessed Ron present Sam with his ancestor Archibald's personal effects from the latter's artic voyage. Their son was less than impressed by the lack of monetary value of the items, and angered Ron with his flippant remarks regarding Archibald's eventual fate. Judy calmed her husband down, pointing out that the boy can't get excited over some dusty relics, and in time, he would grow to appreciate them. Movie Prequel #3
Though having learned the truth of recent events and Sam's role in them, Ron and Judy were not happy that Bumblebee had decided to come and live with them, especially after the destruction the Autobots had caused to Ron's beloved yard. Ron said that Sam didn't owe the Autobots a thing, having already done his part in their war, and decreed that Bumblebee could stay for the summer, but after Sam went to college, the Autobot was out. Judy concurred with Ron, telling Sam that he should listen to his father. Tales of the Fallen #1

Poor Judy was very confused by the campus map, mainly the fact that it needed to be held the right way up. This is why Ron always navigates.
Overcome by her maternal instincts at her baby flying the nest, she refused to let go of Sam's hand. Dogfight!
Notes
- Judy was named after Roberto Orci's mother-in-law.[1]
- Sam's genealogy chart gives her maiden name (Taylor) and the movie novelization mentions Sam's grandmother Lee. Since Ron's mother is Clarice, this would make Judy's mother's name Lee Taylor.
- According to Michael Bay, due to the scene in Revenge of the Fallen with Judy and the brownies, both locations for filming (Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania) refused to allow the film to refer to Sam's college by name.[2]
- Bay stated on the Revenge of the Fallen audio commentary that the baby booties scene was inspired by his own mother finding his baby shoes and giving them back to him in 2006.
Foreign names
