Handbanana wrote:First off, you can't assume that Megs arrived on earth in 1800. The reason for this is that the only event that could flash freeze anything is a comet dumping its ice on the poles (If you want the science behind it, pm me). That event probably occurred around 7200-10800 years ago. So Megs was in deep freeze for quite a while.
Was there a clock that showed when Megs left and when BB left? If not, you're assuming that it was immediate. TF's lifespans are so great that taking their time could take eons... But they were in a hurry, so it could of been decades between Megs and BB's departure
The Bots didn't have a locater beacon on Megs, so they had to find him the hard way, on accident. They weren't looking for Megs, they were looking for the Allspark.
BB eventually comes across the world that holds the Allspark and notifies Prime and the others. At that time the Bots make their way to our Solar System. They maintain perfect camouflage by not even landing, just hanging out in high orbit.
When Bumblebee signals the Bots to land, its just a short flight to Earth.

the travel in the ark, they don't come to earth in it anywhere in the prequel book.

Phenotype wrote:Hrm, I'm not sure about that. In the comic it shows Megs melting through the ice as soon as he lands due to his body temperature being so high from his entry through the atmosphere and immediately afterwards he shuts down due to lack of energon. So, he's already under the ice, you don't think he could have frozen under there in 100 years or less? I'm not saying he wasn't frozen for thousands of years, I really don't know and haven't read anything that says how long he was under there, I'm just saying it could have been a shorter amount of time.
That's true, but I doubt it would even have been decades, they knew how important it was to keep the Allspark from him and they would have moved as quickly as possible. Maybe days or weeks at the most. The thing that irritates me about the prequel comic is that Bumblebee says, "I learn to communicate in different ways" but I'm pretty sure I read that in the movie novel he can basically text-message the other Autobots. That's not really an ability you have to learn, they make it sound like it was a long time before he could communicate with them. At the least couldn't he just write?
So Bumblebee has to fly around the universe looking for the Allspark? I guess that explains why Megatron was on Earth for so long before BB caught up w/ him.

Oh, well that's what I read on the Transformers Wiki. That's kind of stupid though, if they have the Ark and use it to travel through space why wouldn't they bring it to Earth? Where'd they leave it?

Thunderscream wrote:It would be no different than if an English speaker had to learn Spanish, or a seeing person had to learn Brail because they lost their eyesight. It's a different means of communication, which needs to be learned and takes time. Bumblebee probably has a shorter learning curve by comparison, but he would still need some time. He also underwent what could be considered a very tramatic experience, physically and psychologically, and probably would need time to recover from those as well. So him flying off after Megatron immediately probably didn't happen; besides, it's possible other units were sent before him.
