The scene where they did scan and transform were the ones assigned to reaching far places of Earth to set up batteries (or whatever they were called, I forget).
As mentioned before, Transformers using ships that didn't transform is nothing new to the live-action movies. The original Ark didn't transform, and neither did the Nemesis.
Pillars. But not all the cons with alt modes went around the world, I saw many in Chicago, notably a Chevy Silverado, and that green dump truck one. I suppose the only reason an alt mode was necessary was for a surprise attack, which I didn't really see...
