its kinda funny too the. transformers really don’t actually use much of their technology for the first few movies. The autobots dont even have a ship until the 3rd one and its one they built over a human shuttle. Decepticons ship is crashed on one of jupiter’s moons or some shit?
I think it was because they’re just working with no fuel as of movie 2 but it’s still kinda weird.
It was and thus, I ended up being more okay with the movies after that when AoE happened(Just pretend the Last Knight never happened) and Bumblebee where we basically see that the Autobots and Decepticons would wreck our shit without alot of help and elbow grease.
