The thing had already brought to life and armed every appliance in the Witwicky kitchen, transferred the bulk of its energies/experiences into Sams brain AND been used as a divining rod/jump start for Jetfire, who is no small Transformer. Considering how tiny that sliver was in comparison to the chunk the 'Cons stole I think it was good and toast after Jetfire.
As for the other possibilities like reviving Jazz with the larger piece, I think that falls under the classification of responsible use. Just because you can do something with unlimited power, that doesn't mean you should. Jazz was a soldier, he knew the risks and he fought valiantly but it's just a sad reality that in war people die and that message would have been lost if Prime had "cheated" and brought Jazz back. The emotional impact would have been dulled and I think it was necessary to have that in the film. Same general idea with 'Bees legs. The things worth having, worth fighting for, are not won without sacrifice and they aren't gained through short-cuts. Nothing worthwhile ever is.
Exellent points! You know, the more i read well thought out post like yours T-Macksimus, the less pot holes i realize the movie has, and the more "plot" it really has. The more i think about it, alot of it really does make sence once you start fitting all the pieces toeghter. Maybe that was bay and companies whole point from the begining. Maybe this movie was made more for the fans than we've come to first realize...
