Mark Wahlberg in Transformers: Age of Extinction
While the series has gotten better with it in recent years, all in all, the Transformers franchise has been notoriously bad at creating compelling human characters that don't feel like an absolute waste of screen time. Some characters add nothing to the plot, some detract from it and some are simply some of the most unbearable characters in cinema.
9 Lucas Flannery Played by T.J. Miller T.J. Miller's Lucas Flannery is such a nothing character that actively makes things worse by totally selling out his "friend" when they discover Optimus Prime in Transformers: Age of Extinction, in hopes that the CIA will pay him for his discovery. This stupid decision only gets guns pointed at him and the crew, putting them in the sights of the CIA's taskforce, Cemetery Wind, for the rest of the film.
7 Sam Witwicky Played by Shia LaBeouf The man who started it all. Sam Witwicky is the first Transformers protagonist who "graced" the screen in 2007's Transformers. Sam gets heavy criticism for being an incredibly shallow character that Bay gives audiences little reason to find compelling. The Oxford history professor that just so happens to be an ancestor of the mythical wizard Merlin is presented as nothing but an annoyingly predictable British stereotype that partakes in one of the most forced relationships in the entire franchise with Cade. Due to being a descendant of Merlin, she also happens to be the only character able to wield his staff because...reasons. Normally, this would be an effective way to make her more important to the plot.
When Shane is introduced alongside Tessa in Transformers: Age of Extinction, Bay makes it a point to justify the fact that the two lovers are the ages of 20 and 17 by having Shane carry a laminated card detailing the "Romeo and Juliet Law". This law states that, in very vague appropriate terms, as long as the two characters had begun dating before he passed the age of 18, there are no legal issues with their relationship.
