spike was 16 in season one 1984. spike should have been 37 years old in the TF movie that was set in 2005,he looked way too young more like 27 in the TF movie,about 28 in season 3 & 4.

in 1984 season one spike was clearly working with his dad in that
construction company job. therefore spike was around 16 years old.

the TF movie took place 21 years after 1984/season 1. spike didn't
look like he was 37 years old in the TF movie that was set in the year
2005. spike looked like he was 027 years old.

Three possible things:

1) We don't really have any information concerning Sparkplug's age,
but I think he's a good yardstick here--we can assume he's probably in
his mid-to-late 30s in 1984, so he's a good idea of what Spike should
look like when Spike is that old. Compare Adult Spike to Sparkplug,
and you'll see that they actually look to be about the same age. (You
might be underestimating just how young certain people look when they
get older.)

2) We don't know what kind of science they have by the time of even
the late 80s/early 90s in the TF universe, let alone in 2005. Humans
might have technology to make aging less noticable. In fact, this
could very well explain why Daniel appears to be the same age in S3,
if we follow Japanese continuity and it takes place in 2010--humans
artificially age slower by the time the series happens.

3) The Witwicky Indestructability Gene also prevents aging.
