At first, this line sounded stupid but i think it make sense. The internet is very rich in information. If i was able to acces a huge chunk of culture from an alien race, i would do it.
So, i wondered. How did they accessed the web. The answer was simple. They invented it. It was reverse-engineered out of Megatron. Cybertron quite probably had its own "internet".
How can they learn so fast? Simple. If they can hack the Pentagon they can download Wikipedia and other website in a mere nanosecond!
So, does it make sense?

If they learned from the web, shouldn't they be using leet speak?

Easy. They have supercomputers for brains.
The net's been around since the eighties, right? So, in that twenty years, collect every word on the net, check the context, cross reference it, then add to the Transformer's personal database.
That's probably where personalities came from: personal preference to the various pages.

To the best of my knowledge, you can find literally everything on the Net. If you take into account the Net in its entirety, every last bit, you could quite possibly find every last bit of information Humankind knows.
...And a whole lotta porn.

No it wouldn't.
Anyways, in the book, Optimus Prime talks Chinese to Sam first and upon hearing them say "I think he is talking Chinese", he swiches to English. The reason for speaking Chinese is that he obviously had data stating that it is the most spoke language on Planet Earth.

Me thinks thou protests too much.
I thought the Chinese bit was funny in the novel, though I am glad they kept it out of the film, opting for Jazz's "What's crakin' lil' bitches" instead. That got more then a few chuckles from my various screenings.

I got a funny shirt for you about that hacker talk!
I agree about the Jazz part, I think the book added a lot of background, but the movie dialogue spiced up the situations better for the big screen.

Technically Prime did say they learned Earths Languages. Not specifically English.
Could have made more of a point of that i think. The whole thing seems a bit 'hollywood' to me. Too much Politics and bowing to the average ignorant 'blockbuster fan' who doesnt care about the story as long as they have big-ass robots and even bigger explosions instead of taking the time to actually tell a story and go in depth.
I mean they couldnt even be bothered to cover why Barricade just vanishes etc.

i smell a screw up but that might just be the leftovers downstairs. Who knows.
If i was looking at the film as someone who knew screw all about the film then i might be able to overlook little niggles but it all seemed rushed and too comedic.
Why the hell did all the autobots seem like they were jacked up on Prozac Cornholio stylee in Sams backyard?

Because if you found something you'd been looking for for literally thousands of years and the fate of existance hung on it, I think you'd be a bit antsy too, and not worried about what "parental units" think. They were pretty patient given the circumstances.

Amen. Did you see when Ironhide suggested terminating Rona and Judy, Ratchet actually grabbed one of his cannons and tried to aim in into the house!
"Screw it! We've been patient enough!"

If she anywhere near Wisconsin? I feel the sudden urge to kick someone from there.
