One of the few things that bugged me abou tthe movie was the dialogue differences between the early prime directive script and the movie dialogue. Was anyone else bothered by this? Frankly I liked the script lines betterin the following scenes:

1. When Barricade is demanding to know the location of the glasses from Sam. In the script he refers to the glasses as "ancestral artifacts" - I like how that sounds better and I think it's more believable being that the transformers would refer to human objects in a formal, proper way.

2. I disliked some of Prime's lines, particularly in the scene at Sam's house the way he scolds the autobots. If I remember correctly he didnt do that in the script and I can't see him being the honorable leader he is scolding his fellow TF's like that. Also the "my bad" line was just stupid and was absent from the script altogeather. Finally when Prime first meets Sam he refers to Sam's great grandfather's glasses as "prosthetic lenses" - again, I can see the TF's referring to man's objects with more formality then they did in the movie.

3. I dont have a big problem with Ratchet's line about Sam wanting to "mate" with Mikaela - in the script Ratchet made a crack about Sam being behind Mikaela in terms of puberty.

Other then those minor points I cant really think of any other major annoying differences between the early script and the movie. Can anyone else?

yea i liked the artifacts line better too

i think they scrapped the puberty line though because the people the movie is catering to 13-17 year olds are all going through it and might have been offended maybe?

i dunno, i thougth it was funny, im 23 though
