Transformers: The Last Knight: 20 WTF Moments

18. All The Product Placement

Transformers Age Of Extinction Bud Light

It's a Transformers movie so, of course, there's an egregious amount of product placement here. While the above screenshot is in fact taken from Age of Extinction, it's relevant because The Last Knight renews the series' partnership with Bud Light.

There's an hilariously on-the-nose scene where Mark Wahlberg's Cade Yeager asks one of his baby Transformers to fetch him a beer from the fridge. Cue Bay closing in on the fridge as the Transformer opens it, revealing a ton of Bud Light bottles, one of which is then flown close to the camera before landing in Cade's hands.

That's without even mentioning the various Chinese brand items that feature throughout the film, something that's become increasingly noticeable over the last few films, as the series has become increasingly reliant on that precious Chinese box office.
