I am prolly more of a transformers noob than you guys but in the movie and the cgi pics it looks like all the autobots have hands with fingers that look similar to human hands but all decepticons have giant claws. It supposed to be this way I'm guessing?
yes probably to look more evil, while hands look more good. i guess. edit: after all you don't see very many autobots BEFORE the movie with anything other then hands, for hands do you? most of the ones with something other then a hand, for a "hand" is decepticons, like megatron *beast wars* or shockwave. and then insecticon with his bug hands/claws. claws are just too evil looking i guess
