'Should've payed your graphic designer a little bit more'

After the poster dropped online fans went ahead and started slamming it. A fan said, "Should've payed your graphic designer a little bit more." A fan noted, "Now I know scale is pretty much nonexistent in Transformers but cmon," while another wrote, "Can y’all re-do the CGI before the movie comes out but it doesn’t look like the other movies." A fan commented, "As a person who works with photoshop, I'll say this looks like someone just started working with it. The concept isn't so bad, but it's badly done." Lastly, a fan shared, "I'm kinda scared that this movie doesn't do good in the box office due to spider-verse coming out in the same month...Please, let this age poorly, I beg you."
