Bay can't even push to at least make the military stuff. In Transformers ROTF, Devastator gets taken down by a railgun on a battleship miles away on the ocean. It is a complete visual disconnect. Deastator is just on a pyramid and gets hit by something coming offscreen. Can't even have the courtesy of having the battleship transform or anything. Yes, budget is a thing, but it's completely unsatisfying as a solution. I'd rather they sacrifice something like all the generic fodder in the last sequence for something like a battleship transformer facing off with Devastator, or evenjust having some TFs airlifting the railgun to set it up against Devastator.
In DOTM we spent like 15 minutes of Prime being stuck on a construction cable while Bay goes into how cool wingsuits are, because in a movie about transforming robots, humans being able to glide short distances is totally what I want to see right?
It's all because Bay is the kind of boomer Tom Clancy used to write long descriptions of military tech for, and these movies are just justification to him using tech and showcasing stuff he wants to film. And I'd honestly would be fine with it, it can be cool stuff,hell there's precedence with TFs using human Railguns in G2, but Bay(and the screenwriters) just cannot seem to let it emphasize the transformers.
