Transformers: Worst Movie Moments

The Transformers movies are all about showcasing good robots fighting evil robots. There's hitting, stabbing, clubbing, and shooting. And when the movies focus on this robot carnage, the results can be sublime.

But for the other two hours, the Transformers movies are also home to some of the most juvenile humor, mind-bending logic problems, and downright stupid characters Hollywood has to offer. And even as we gear up for Transformers: Dark of the Moon and hope that action and explosions will be the focus, we've also decided to highlight the more stupid and questionable moments in the first two films.

Read through our list of the worst Transformers movie moments and let us know what really grinds your Cybertronian gears by posting in the comments section below.

The Transformer movies are all about robot-on-robot carnage. Unfortunately,. That carnage was a little too hectic in the first film. Despite most of the characters being color-coded, it was pretty difficult to distinguish between Autobots and Decepticons in the film's fight scenes. At least the sequel was able to improve slightly in this one area.



They may be robots in disguise. But even the disguises can be pretty suspicious-looking on occasion. Why none of the highly trained security experts on Air Force One noticed or cared about the boombox randomly lying around the plane is anyone's guess. It's not as if Frenzy was particularly quiet or stealthy about his mission. If we were President in the Transformers universe, our first act would be to hire some new bodyguards.



This was the start of a bad trend. Apparently it's Autobot custom to expel bodily fluids on people that annoy you. We don't blame Bumblebee for getting a little ticked off with with the head of Sector 7, but have a little self respect, man.



Why resort to water-boarding when you can just shove a plate of donuts in front of a fat comedian and watch him crack? And all to pin the blame on the impossibly pretty tech whiz who disappeared after one movie. Transformers was at least 45 minutes longer than it needed to be, and it's mostly because of pointless, goofball scenes like this. Why couldn't Bernie Mac have stuck around the film instead of Anthony Anderson?



We suppose it's only natural that a movie based on a popular 1980s toy line would be riddled with blatant product placement. But a Mountain Dew Transformer? Scratch that – a Mountain Dew Transformer that shoots cans of Mountain Dew? The only way it could have been more blatant was if the movie had been shot in 3D. Maybe Dark of the Moon will rectify that problem.



Apparently all one needs to save the world is a magical Rubik's Cube that can change size to fill any space needed, be it an entire cavern or Even Stevens' hand. When the producers claimed that there would be no mass-shifting in this Transformers adventure, they were clearly lying through their teeth.
