Here's a story Mark Shipper wrote about the war of words between Michael Bay & Megan Fox.
*THE WAR IS ESCALATING BETWEEN "TRANSFORMERS" DIRECTOR MICHAEL BAY AND HIS FEMALE STAR MEGAN FOX -- BAY CALLS MEGAN AN "INGRATE" FOR CRITICIZING HIS STYLE OF FILMMAKING -- HE SAYS "I PUT HER ON THE MAP. UNTIL 'TRANSFORMERS' NOBODY HAD EVER HEARD OF HER" -- BUT, NOW WE'RE LEARNING THAT, TO GET THE PART, SHE HAD TO SATISFY HIM -- NO, NOT LIKE THAT, THAT'S NORMAL, BUT THIS IS WEIRD -- ACCORDING TO THE LONDON GUARDIAN, WHEN MEGAN 1st MET WITH THE DIRECTOR TO DISCUSS HER ROLE IN 'TRANSFORMERS', HE TOLD HER TO PUT ON A BIKINI AND WASH HIS FERRARI! -- AND THEN HE FILMED IT! -- RECENTLY, SHE ASKED FOR THE FOOTAGE BACK -- BUT APPARENTLY HE MISPLACED IT (PERMANENTLY) -- THIS WHOLE INCIDENT PROVES THAT DIRECTORS OF ACTION FILMS DON'T CARE ABOUT ACTING, THEY JUST WANT TO SEE SEXY WOMEN BENT OVER THE WINDSHIELD OF A FERRARI -- WONDER HOW MANY OTHER ACTRESSES HAD TO PERFORM THESE "SPECIAL TASKS" TO GET HIRED FOR HIS MOVIES?..."
I disagree with his last point. Asking Megan Fox to put on a bikini and wash his Ferrari was completely relevant to casting the Transformers female role. The script called for the role to be hunched over a piece of machinery.

...And the shot from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
He had to make sure she looked right for the part
