Weren't neither of their characters actually previously canon characters in the Transformers world? I'm pretty sure if April and Vernon can suddenly handle some guys with machine guns, especially since it's evident they're both normal, every day reporters, then even the most laid-back fan would get a little confused by their sudden fighter abilities. Besides, even the very first teaser makes it clear that the HEROES which have been made, are the turtles themselves.

Not to mention, this movie isn't Transformers. Plain and simple.
