DUDE I know, that was awesome. I noticed that the first time I saw it and kept re-watching it on youtube.. lol.

Don't give Bay the credit though. Give the animators at ILM the props. They're the ones with desks covered in Transformers and an understanding of the G1 lore. You can, however, credit Bay for Jon Voight's stupid slow mo getting out of the helicopter.
