I quess it's because Bay had free hand in RotF and DotM. For me, it is safer to agree that human technicians gave Optimus some upregade between 2007 and 2009, i remember that even there was hinted in Reign of Starscream, that Earth-based technology makes Cybetronians stronger. However, this isn't the point, the point is that action movies aren't that complicated. But Bayformers is unlogical even by action movies standards, and it is hard to accept that Bay decide to turn franchise with such long tradition into typical Invasion Movie.

It depends from the frame, later we can see he's hand on fire, but eariler frames suggest that whe was hitted in heah.

The movies are perfectly logical. All you have to do is pay attention. And, what? There can't be a piece in Transformers fiction where the Decepticons actually try to take the world? Yeah, sure.

The wart part about Bayformer beign ordinary invasion movies is, that it kinda killed any kind of uniqueness. This is typical action movies about human beign special and aliens only in the background. If you replace Autobots with Angels and Decepticoms with Demons, and place it in XIII century England, the movie would remain pretty much the same.
