It wasn't Bay that did it. Even in G1 they gave mouths to the many of the characters, ex Perceptor.
However, I fin OP Iconic with his faceplate. They are friggin' robots, why do any of them have mouths?!? They don't have an esophagus or a digestive track, the oral opening is for aesthetic purposes only.
I, for one, don't find it aesthetically pleasing for OP to have a mouth. But hey, that's my opinion.
I purchase based off of my opinion. That is why I have not bought any other incarnations of OP except the one(s) I like.
I choose not to support any of the movie line, or the new anime line. Neither did I buy any Armada, Energon, or Cybertron lines except the planets. I speak with my wallet.
Actually, according to More than Meets the Eye #8 they do indeed injest fuel through their mouths, AKA consumption oriface. It should also be noted that even in the G1 cartoons, we see Transformers eating or drinking Energon and other substances through their mouths, so, yes, they do indeed have an esophogus and digestive tract.
Regardless, as others have stated, this has been done to death, Prime has a mouth, which, honestly, he always did, we just never saw it because it was under his face plate. The fact that his face plate moves up and dpwn when he talks is evidence enough of a mouht and jaw underneath.
