Transformers: The Last Knight: 20 WTF Moments

6. Shia LaBeouf's "Cameo"

When Edmund is explaining the Order of the Witwiccans to Cade and Viviane, Bay hilariously cuts briefly to a picture of Shia LaBeouf's Sam Witwicky on Burton's cabinet.

LaBeouf is pulling an outrageously goofy facial expression in the picture, and one has to consider that Bay deliberately included the most embarrassingly absurd picture of LaBeouf he could find.

Given that the actor has thoroughly washed his hands of the Transformers series and seemingly blockbuster filmmaking altogether, this was a fun little nod at the franchise's past history without taking a total dump on it by, say, randomly killing Sam off-screen. Does that count as restraint?
