To sum up, here are my main complaints about the story:
1) 17000 BC, the Fallen builds a harvester on Earth. Primes steal back the matrix, and sacrifice their lives to entomb the Matrix underground. The next time we see the Fallen, he's crash landed on Saturn in 2009. The movie is extremely vague about what happens in between these two points in time.
2) Jetfire says that Energon is the life blood of Cybertronians; without it, they rust and fall apart. Starscream says that the hatchlings need Energon to survive. These are the only two points in the movies where Transfomers are shown suffering from Energon depletion. DOTM introduces the idea of Energon detectors, suggesting that all living Transformers have Energon in their bodies (makes sense, since it is their "life blood.") So if the Allspark has been destroyed, where are they getting their Energon? Not only that, when Cybertron lost the Allspark in the first place, how did the Transformers continue to function with no Energon source for thousands of years? If the Decepticons have no Energon supply, why create a nest of hatchlings if they know they have no means of sustaining them? Wouldn't it make more sense to secure control over the Allspark, Matrix, and Harvester...and THEN create the hatchlings?
DOTM then says that Earth's natural resources will be enough to rebuild Cybertron and their race. If they can subsist on other forms of energy, then it eliminates the need for an Allspark or the solar harvesters.
3) Sentinel Prime's plan seems awfully vague. He made a deal to work with Megatron so long that Cybertron will be saved. Makes sense so far. Based on what the movies tell us, we know that Megatron left first, and then Sentinel, because we know that the Allspark crashed on Earth at some point in the past, Megatron crashed sometime before the 20th century, and then Sentinel crashed on the moon in the early '60s. These Transformers don't seem to have very good landing skills. I mean, Megatron approaches Earth and crashes...Sentinel approaches the moon and crashes...the Fallen flies to Saturn's moon and...you guessed it, crashes.
The movies never make it really clear exactly what their plan was. DOTM almost makes it seem as though the plan all along was to meet up on Earth, use a space bridge to bring Cybertron into our solar system, and use Earth's natural resources for energy and the humans for slaves. But they couldn't have known the Allspark was going to land on Earth, and they couldn't have known that Earth would have lifeforms they could use for slaves. And transporting Cybertron into our solar system doesn't really serve any purpose that I can see. So they just ventured blindly into space with some vague goal of enslaving some planet, and they all just happened to crash land on Earth?
If they did know that the Allspark was on Earth before any of them left, I don't see why Megatron, the Fallen, and Sentinel couldn't have just gone to Earth, used the Cube to find the Matrix, used the Matrix to destroy the sun, and then space bridge the re-energized Cube back to Cybertron.
4) Sentinel Prime arrives on the moon along with 200 Decepticons in the early 1960s, and only Sentinel is knocked into stasis. They remove the pillars and are photograpehd by the Russians. Soundwave and Laserbeak go about recruiting humans to their cause. If they had that big of a force concentrated on the moon, I don't see why they didn't just go in with guns blazing and take over the world right then. Or, if they wanted to bide their time, I don't see why they didn't help out with the battle against the Autobots in Mission City, or in Egypt. Why just chill on the moon until 2011 when Sentinel opened the space bridge?
I agree the live action movies are not well written nor do they have any decent dialogue.
examples are as follows below:
in the 2007 & ROTF movies why weren't their any detectors done by the autobots to notice their was a huge ark with sentinel prime on the moon.
the fallen why didn't he swoop down in the 2007 movie. why wait till the rotf movie.
why weren't their any signs of humans being controlled/manipulated by decepticons in the 2007 & rotf movie.
the live action TF movie use way too much corny & horrible written dialogue. mostly spoken by sam,his friends & parents. in DOTM eddy used tons of corny dialogue.
if the doctor was able to rebuild/fix megatron in the ROTF movie. why didn't the doctor/scalpel fix & repair megatron in the 4 year period after rotf ended & before DOTM started. I don't think the doctor/scalpel died in the ROTF movie. their were a bunch of dead robots on both sides the doctor could have used to repair/fix megatron like he did in the rotf movie.
In dotm,they stated that megatron & his crew used optimus to revive sentinel because he had the matrix. it's stated in the DOTM movie the decepticons stole hundreds of the pillars before 2007 movie started.
how did ther decepticons know that prime would revive sentinel before the 2007 movie if prime got the matrix near the end of the ROTF movie.
