Transformers canon is rife with bizarrely human characteristics that make no mechanical sense. Like for example, they look and function exactly like human vehicles complete with cabs and controls, and yet presumably they come from another world that has no corresponding humanoid species that would require a cab to sit in, nor do they actually need to be driven.

Honestly, the best thing you can do is say the MST3K mantra: "It's just a show, I really should just relax". Or in this case, a fic.

But yeah, it's not the fic writers problem that you don't like their fic. They aren't in charge of your reading choices.

Uhh, not disagreeing with your main argument, but this specific one is wrong. They have different appearances on their home planet, and when they go to alien worlds they scan local vehicles to imitate them.

Yeah, you're right; and sometimes it's very cool to read about an alien race that's fundamentally different from, yet similar to, our own. What I wrote about in the secret is only really grating in bad!fic. In good fics, I'm more like, " You're a good writer; you don't have to succumb to nonsensical scifi standards!" The all-natural MST3K salve really does apply in those cases!

Although, I wouldn't put the example you presented as an example of how the tfs are portrayed nonsensically in canon. Their vehicle forms resemble earth vehicles because they have the ability to adapt their structure to suit different environments. They disguise themselves as human cars/planes to blend in. They have no reason to do that to their robot forms, though, and that's why it bugs me when someone say, writes that Jazz has two optics underneath his visor. Why can't the visor just be his eye? What's the point of that?

And no, I would never tell a writer they ruined something; they don't deserve that! It's just hard to write constructive criticisms when you have your own biases.
