And the scene with the TF's blasting through and destroying a building it really didn't look like many if any got hurt. Yeah, Dino stopped and transformed but he didn't look to honestly hurt anyone. More of a.....your not going to stop us kind of approach. Even the rockets BB fired didn't look that large or devestating. Did what it needed to kinda thing. I see it as perhaps the U.N. asked them / suspected them of building WMD's and the autobots went in and stopped it.
i read the pre-qual TF Comics and i remember those ROTM scenes in china. But it was stated that the autobots work together with the humans (NEST Organization) to hunt down the Decepticons. IMO, is that Optimus is taking care of his own mess - "their war shifted on earth". But he has to follow or obey "Earthling" rules / regulations. But this is different from DOTM - he is messing around with HUMAN conflicts.
The other thing what you mentioned about the autobots don't wreak havoc or even hurt people. For me it doesn't count. The opposing fraction doesn't care about that. you don't honestly believe the "bad" guys think "oh they didnt hurt us... the only destroyed our devastating weapons... i am fine with..."
And throughout the whole Transformers Films (1-3) the autobots never cause casualties or at least injure them (on screen)

like the first movie where optimus was on the highway - he never trample on a car. or in the city the epic battle between him and Megatron - got shot flew around but didnt hurt anyone... like always barely touched a human with his big feet.

DOTM scene where bumblebee crashed with the Cybertronian Spacecraft - like always no human harm done.

For me this all are just movie magic.

I think they had that in the film mostly to have them out in the field so they could gain the engine part in Russia, since they say they patrol more so to keep an eye on Decepticons than to really put their foot up human government's butts. If they never left the base then it would be hard for them to have found.
yeah, Optimus mentioned "search for signs about our true enemies" or something like that. but as i stated they should refrain their action.

Because that I don't believe is the case at all.
ok, better response (i know i replied already).
i was referring to world powers. other world powers could hire the transformers with better conditions.
