9. Bumblebee Vs. The Nazis

Edmund explains to Cade and Viviane, by way of a brief flashback, that Bumblebee was not only on Earth during World War II but actually helped the Allies fight against the Nazis.

A brief flashback sequence then shows Bumblebee literally burning Nazis alive as the Allies attack a Nazi fortress, presumably Hitler's base, in an undeniably tasteless but absolutely fascinating set-piece.

As if that wasn't enough, the scene was even filmed at Winston Churchill's former home, causing significant controversy when they draped giant Nazi logos over the building.

Paramount surely paid a tidy sum to use the building, but still, tone-deaf much?
