The 1st ILM test is just a fair attempt.
If you search the early animation of Bay-Prime you'd scream!

its a shame that he actually takes into consideration of what the critics think of him.
Prime's lips are awful.
Many Decepticons have shark-teeth and that's stupid for a robot (do they eat meat?)
Its a movie. They are evil so it makes sense.Prime's lips are awful.

Yeah Starscream looking like a chicken isn't a good thing. There's no need for robots to look like dinosaurs. That's why we have the Dinobots. Transformers are supposed to have humanoid robot forms to parallel humans. Their alt forms are where they appear to be something foreign like an animal or a vehicle. And bumblebee having a blaster for a hand is not a mind blowing addition. It's rather basic.No, its because the bonnet becomes the bot's legs, the passenger space becomes the torso and the trunk becomes the hands. Simple as that.
In my view, Bay's transformers are not only cool to look at, they also have variety in shape (sideways and bonecrusher have rollers, that constructicon is a unicycle, starscream is a chicken, Devastator is a.... dinosaur?), their transformations are stunning and they can transform parts of their hands to make weapons (which is awesome and makes perfect sense).
Bumblebee is still a runt but having him as a nerdy friend of Sam made the character more relatable. It was as if the only Autobot who could truly relate to Sam was a pacifist and a geek. Jetfire looks silly with his wulrus stache and cane. Nothing Bay did made him anymore majestic ("My bad"?). And Megatron looks like a run-of-the-mill monster. Gone was the humanoid for that made him look like he had a nazi helmet on wih his sadistic grin. His giant arm bazooka was iconic and a powerful image of a warlord. Now he looks like a monster you'd find in a sci-fi channel original. Gone is any parallel you'd find to an evil dictator of human history which made the character far more symbolic.I also like how Bay did his own thing with some of them. I love how Bumblebee isnt the short weakling autobot anymore (and i also love his cute personna), i love Jetfire (from what i have seen till now), Prime is just majestic and Megatron is scary as the devil.
It's not a valid excuse.
I didn't find them aliens, not a bit.
So machines should have fangs simply because they're from another planet?
That's some really advanced reverse-engineering you've done there.
Their planet is mechanical and their evolution is mechanical.People, you can't look for what we would consider evolutionary purpose in robots from space.
They're aliens but they're also machines.Or maybe they do eat. Who knows. They ARE Aliens. They feel, they hurt, they arent "robots".
Their planet is mechanical and their evolution is mechanical.
It's an advanced concept that hasn't been explored in the movies.
Certainly we can speculate the evolutionary purpose of fangs on a robot.Yes, the history of their species in regard to their physical bodies has not been explored. That's why it's pointless to presuppose some sort of evolution by natural selection.

We know the decepticons were military and the autobots were worker/scientist.
I'm not sure why a military leader would need fangs outside of their alt form.
