>>6400810In AoE, Optimus was supposed to get an upgrade to beat the dinobots and get his jet boot ability. They had Skidz and Mudflap's vehicles in DotM, but cut then them from the film. In RotF, grindor literally shows up just to get his face split open.
These films are finished hours before they premier, if Bay is to be believed. They just throw shit at the wall and hope it sells while sticking whatever crap hasbro demands in it, like Dinobots or little kids or whatever.
