Bay and the crew were so impressed by Ron that they put him in the movie, as a bystander to the carnage in [[Mission City]], sitting next to the machine that would become [[Dispensor]]. The company attempted to compensate him, but he refused. Apparently it took some arm-twisting to even get him to accept being put up in a hotel for the night.
