I thought the CGI was amazing. It had some of the best effects of any movie I have ever scene. I am still in awe.............
Chuck Norris drives Optimus Prime to work.

Looking for anything RiD or Car Robots. Specifically, Fire Convoy, Megatron, and the Autobot Brothers.

That was the only time in both films that Prime transformed from robot to truck. Maybe that's why they seldom did that transformation.

The CGI that bugged me was when they were under direct sunlight; Jetfire walking in the plane yard and Skids out in the sun in front of the first pyramid.

i think transformers or startrek will win the oscar for visual effects. and its hard to judge the movie at a theater. the blu-ray will be much sharper than the projector.

They put a lot of effort in the underwater scenes.

The most shoddy stuff was when Sam and Alice were inside Bumblebee after they left the party...

The CGI went back and forth. There were some perfectly-rendered scenes that had all the grit and detail, and then there were others that got rushed in some form or another. During the desert fight, there's a shot of Ratchet shooting at the Decepticons that had a cartoony feel to it. It moved a bit too fast and looked too clean. Another was when the military vehicles were rolling down the pyramid after they got sucked towards it--there's a tank rolling down that didn't look like it quite fit. And the Long Haul scene mentioned earlier--he stood out quite a bit there. As if he wasn't quite blended into the scenery properly.

There were other moments I can't think of. But overall they did some spectacular work.

That wasn't even CGI.

there was only one scene that stood out to me as shoddy and someone has already mentioned it.

The longhaul scene i think when he gets shot by the jets he is standing in a cloud of dust and his colour looks way to bright and cartoony.
