I haven't seen it yet, but how was that a PC choice? They said time and again during production that all the transformations would be real size. How would Megatron possibly go from a 20' tall robot to an 8" gun? That's not PC, that's realism. The only thing they really could've done was make him a tank.
If they had made him a gun, then yeah, all the fanboys would've loved it, but everyone else would've been taken right out of the movie the moment he transformed.

Then they should have been consistent with how they applied that rule. For almost the whole last 1/2 of the film the All-Spark is almost the size of a room, then it shrank to a size that would allow Sam to carry it. Yes, you're right about it being about practicality vs politics, however in the original series Megatron is shown transforming and being wielded by bots and humans alike, changing mass as needed.
