Shape-shifting robots, a nerdy guy and a bombshell is a movie formula that Megan Fox never got comfortable with - according to her former "Transformers" co-star, Shia LaBeouf.
"Megan  developed this Spice Girl strength, this woman-empowerment [stuff] that  made her feel awkward about her involvement with Michael [Bay], who  some people think is a very lascivious filmmaker, the way he films  women," the "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" star told The Los Angeles Times Hero Complex blog.

"Mike  films women in a way that appeals to a 16-year-old sexuality. It's  summer. It's Michael's style. And I think [Fox] never got comfortable  with it. This is a girl who was taken from complete obscurity and placed  in a sex-driven role in front of the whole world and told she was the  sexiest woman in America. And she had a hard time accepting it," Shia  continued. "When Mike would ask her to do specific things, there was no  time for fluffy talk. We're on the run. And the one thing Mike lacks is  tact. There's no time for, 'I would like you to just arch your back 70  degrees.'"
However, Megan's replacement, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley  -- who was recently named #1 on Maxim's annual Hot 100 List -- felt  more at ease embracing her blockbuster eye candy status.

"Rosie  comes with this Victoria's Secret background, and she's comfortable  with it," Shia told Hero Complex. "So, she can get down with Mike's way  of working and it makes the whole set vibe very different."
Back in April shortly after wrapping production on the film, Access Hollywood's  Billy Bush caught up with Rosie at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, where the  bombshell talked about her whatever-it-takes approach, whether on the  runway or the movie set.
"I've always have the same attitude with  work. I like to go to work, I like to work really hard, I like to give  everything my all. I like to try things that are new, so I'm just really  thankful for this opportunity," she said at the time.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, it was announced in May 2010 that Megan would not star in the third "Transformers" movie. At the time her rep told Access, "It was her decision not to return."
"Transformers: Dark of the Moon" hits theaters on June 29.
