Vanity. Lots of actors have things in their contract requiring them to have VFX touchups done to them. Most of it is done by a company called Lola, who also does all of Marvel's de-aging, but the vast majority of their work is vanity touch ups for actors.

Interesting and true, but I was thinking more about Seth Rogen sitting on an airbag and getting launched into the ceiling

I know somebody at Weta who had to roto out RDJ's double chin. It's not just vanity either, the prudes at Marvel had them reduce Chadwick Boseman's bulge.

Tenoch Huerta also got his bulge reduced in BP2.

Maybe don't cast actors with huge bulges if you only have to edit them out later.

One thing I'll say is the people who wants this prequel movie to have "G1 cartoon designs" are crazy because in G1 the Cybertronian people have the same designs they have on Earth 4 million years later with only their vehicle modes being different.

This a chance to make up new designs for the characters like the High Moon games and Transformers Animated did, which recalls their Earth forms without looking too similar.

You can say live-action Flounder looks like a real fish but there's a reason HP Lovecraft used a race of fish-face people as scary inhuman monsters, and it's not racism this time.

Most G1 Transformers fans don't actually remember G1 at all. Funny thing is the Michael Bay movies actually make a lot more sense if you figure he specifically used G1 for ideas, because that show is bizarre, ridiculous and sometimes downright batshit crazy. A lot more human antagonists than anything since, too. And not particularly watchable outside of novelty value, the animation and voice acting is VERY 80s and not in a good way.

I will never not chuckle at the "fans" watching senseless robot shooting/drama and being annoyed that the films were exactly the same thing.

Why the hell do Transformers even have a second form to disguise themselves when they’re still on Cybertron? It’s a whole loving planet of robots, some idiot sneaking around as a car seems pointless.

To be fair, ROTB is either a prequel or a reboot.

Vehicle modes also faster for transportation. And some just like how they look. It's their culture.

I'm convinced the missing link for the Michael Bay movies is actual the G1 toy commercials.

That just reminded me of Heavyweights being better than it had any right to be and how much of that was Ben Stiller being insane.

Also, I saw that movie at the age of twelve with my seventy-two year old grandmother and she literally pissed herself laughing in the theater.
