Yes, the Humans cussing wasnt needed, but understandable since people tend to cuss a bit sometimes. The Transformers on the other hand, that wasnt nedded at all. Perhaps they were going for a PG-13 rating? Or maybe to appeal to todays young rebellious teenagers? Either way, the cussing and sexual humour needs to be toned down a bit. I was uncomfortable when certain scenes played out.... dogs.

Yeah, and then Wheelie learning the way of the dogs...completely unnecessary and gross.

I liked the cussing. I hope Megatron, Starscream, Ironhide and Sideswipe cuss up a storm in the third film. I really can't see Optimus Prime or Ratchet cussing. Seems out of character for them.

and all opinions are welcome on this thread.

Ironhide and Sideswipe have already been seen or rather heard cussing. Megatron and Starscream, on the other hand, I highly doubt. It would not feel right at all if Megatron or almost any Decepticon (especially Soundwave) started swearing their spark out. I cant even imagine hearing Soundwave say anything bad.

I'm actually surprised that more Decepticons haven't sworn. I'm surprised Megatron or Starscream didn't swear in this movie as it is. After Frenzy spouted "Oh sh!t" when half his head got sliced, I was expecting some creative expletives from Megatron, or at least Starscream.

I was slightly confused with Ironhide swearing, then again I realized he has a Clint Eastwood persona so... F*** Yeah!

Yeah, it would be kind of a let down if Ironhide suddenly screamed "Aw shucks!" towards his foes, haha.

I think it WAS rated PG-13. Parents be warned. If they decide not to read the clearly stated warnings, then parents need to refrain from any bitchery.

i normally have no problem with cussing. but it felt out of place hearing robots do it. I think the twins remind me of lil jon too much (y'all n***** cant f*** with my N***** H**)

and I'm glad starcream and megs didn't cuss. hell starscream barely soke in human language.

I think the human exposure element (the cussing) was done too over the top, they should have toned it down.

I actually agree that it was a little over the top, and it could have been completely omitted from the script. The bad words were out of place and totally unneccessary, but the warning was there for a reason. Oh well, I guess.

I look at it this way, the Autobots are a ragtag group of average Joe, common folk turned heroes, and the Decepticons are sophisticated and supremely intelligent, thus no need for expletives. Their actions speak louder than words.

Megatron doesn't need to curse, at all. In fact, it shows how awesome he is.

Bill Cosby once said "First you say it, then you do it!" (crapping yourself during a car accident)

Megatron and his Decepticons are a perfect example. First they'll make you say it, then make you do it.

The Autobots have made Earth their new home, I think they use the same language we do to better fit in. The Decepticons only consider Earth a battleground with a race of lesser lifeforms so they wouldn't care to assimilate into society. That's how I see it.
