Why do they need a female lead? The robots are supposed to be the stars, and Shia LaBeouf is feminine enough to cover.
True. Michael Bay should just save the money and cast him as not only the lead, but put a wig on him and cast him as his love interest.
They have to have a female “lead” to give the Nerd Fanboys someone to slobber over....Also so people won’t pay attention to the horrible dialoge...and Plot.
