These points make no sense. How do Megatron's eyes explain anyone else knowing about a map being burnt onto the spectacles? I like Insurgent's idea about the beacon but I don't see how / why a homing beacon would tell the other Transformers that the data in Megatron's guidance system had been etched into some spectacles.
And if S7 believed Megatron was offline then they wouldn't have needed to keep him frozen, unless it was the freezing that was keeping him offline, in which case Megatron was merely sedated, which means he could wake up, which means they did compromise their own security right from the get-go.
So, they're still plot-holes because they compromise the integrity of the film's plot. A film shouldn't require supporting material, like the prequels, to maintain its logic.
The homing beacon didn't explain about the glasses, only that they should come to Earth (this being the signal Prime mentions in the opening dialogue). And if Megatron was on Earth, it was logical to assume the Allspark was here as well, since that's what he went off to find. I can only assume they researched the internet for any reference to Megatron/Allspark type objects, found out about Witwicky scribbling in Cybertronian, saw an image of him wearing his glasses with the markings on them, tracked these things to Sam and his Ebay page, did some more research, found out where he lived and went there.
And you are absolutly correct. We should not have to go and find the supporting material to answer questions about a film's plot. That's why it's called supporting material.
Your right, I remember them saying they built the dam around the cube now.

Ah, the trouble with only seeing the film once is, I can't remember all of the conversations. But if this is the actual conversation, then they are all a bunch of moronic idiots and Megatron should have ripped them in half instead of Jazz. Or have Blackout slice them.
I agree with you that they should make a film that makes you want to go and buy the supporting material if they are gonna play this card. But I do not have the interest in the movie continuity to justify purchasing the prequal comics. If it was IDWverse, then yeah, I probably would. But not the movie-verse.
