Kids in 1986: "Dad . . .why did Megatron have to kill Optimus?"
Kids in 2017: "Dad . . .<spoiler>Why did Megatron have to meet with a team of lawyers to get his buddies released from prison? Weren't Transformers being killed on sight and melted down in the last movie? WHY is there even a prison for Deceptions? Why do we learn all of the prisoners names and "personalities" when they are all massacred ten minutes later? To sell toys? Why do I want a toy of someone who's dead? Daddy . . .why are you crying?
Oh . . .I forgot you, my father, is Michael Bay" </spoiler>

the bots were being melted down because Stanley tucci's character ran the company that funded it. There is no point to melting the bots down for transformium now that the company is defunct, so they capture them and use them as collateral against the escaped galvatron turned-megatron and/or the autobots.
