Not only was it very boring, it also didn't have any great shots or sequences that were very visually appealing.

I'm sure Screamer would have sent more than 6 drones to fight Prime and co.

I'm not liking the inconsistency in the battles so far, the drones are really just cannon fodder, yet the same number of drones either capitulate and act like Clone Wars battle droids, and are dead in 15 seconds, or they last ages when numbers are evenly matched. The Autobots either destroy them immediately or when they should be going for a quick kill decide instead to play with them.

Not so much bagging out the characters as the writers trying to fill up time/build suspense in a lazy way.
