Maybe it’s the fact she ditches a jock for a nerd that makes us like her so much or maybe it’s the smoking hot body and badass attitude, it’s hard to tell, but the fact is, Miss Banes isn’t just the object of Sam Witwicky’s affections. Her mechanical skills come courtesy of her delinquent father who used to take her on jobs when he couldn’t find a babysitter. Afraid that people perceive her as shallow, Sam assures her that ‘there’s more than meets the eye’ with her, as we soon discover when she takes part in shoot outs, drives an injured Bumblebee around in a tow truck during the final showdown and doesn’t mind making out with Sam in front of a horde of Aubobot onlookers… naughty girl.
