The Energon Pub

Did anyone notice there wasn't a close up of Megatrons "jet" form?

Also, sideways broke jazz's life record...in other words he died faster because he lasted for about 1 minute of the movie (death by blade up his face...sorta) and jazz was there until almost the end.

The movie was WAY better than the last one since Prime seemed like he actually wanted to kill things...I mean come on "I want your face"? that's tough dude. He also ripped through The Fallen's chest and took his spark O_O.

There were a couple of Decepticons ( I think) that get grabbed by the tail and face and get ripped apart like ravage...well maybe not a couple but many, I think I saw many deaths that way.

Soundwave never took part of a battle which I find lame. But meh he would have died like most of the decepticons at hands of Prime just like Grindor(i thought he was blackout)...that was awesome.

And I think theres many other things I put my eye on but I'm forgetting right now, as soon as I remember I'll edit the post =].

Waddaya think about my "foundings"?

Yah.
Prime was hardcore.

Which makes me wonder, are the transformers in the comics and cartoons have skeletal structures? Because I was amazed to find out that ravage has a spine! Looks great too (however gory it may be to younger audience).
Soundwave, as far as I remember, was not any good at fighting anyway.

Also, I felt strange being the only person in the building who laughed when in the scene where John Turturro's character was trying to reach a folder up on a shelf in his secret hideout. The camera clearly shows that the ladder from which they come down from was within reach. Why did he not use it? That's why I laughed. Was I really the only one?

Did you notice Bumbelebee spitting out sand when Jetfire teleported them to Egypt?

Or see the Decepticons breath when they were in space?

Or decepticons spitting out liquid when ever they spoke!

I think they were going for more organic feel I guess?

My hairbrained crackpot theory about all the liquid is that it's an antifreeze system they added to avoid getting frozen again.

Best part of the movie for me was when Prime says "ill take all of you on" and the busts out two swords. That was awesome.

watched it again for the second time this evening. I found a blooper! On the scene where the decepticons were trying to ressurect Megatron, the radar guy said there were 5 unidentified boogies. Now, we know that one of them was 'sacrificed' for Megatron, but when they emerge from underwater, the radar guy said there were SIX boogies.

Bumblebee wasn't the only one spitting out sand. Jetfire and Optimus (when he was ressurected) also spit out sand. Looks like Bay was going for the organic approach after all.

Still haven't found R2-D2 though Looks like I have to watch it again for the third time.

Thats not a blooper. He said 5 bogies because 5 bogies landed on the ocean bottom to get Megatron. He said 6 bogies because 6 bogies ascended to the surface, now that Megatron is alive again.

yea i couldnt find R2-D2 anywhere yet, im finally seeing it in IMAX tonight so ill have to check harder but now it will be easier since everythign is super clear

I did see one hint of a blooper. I'm not too sure at the exact scene it was, but I'm thinking it was Sam was going to turn himself in, Bumblebee says they are going to stick together and he transforms back into the car, and he pushes up against Sam, and if you look, you can see the driver in the car for a split second.

Hey, did anyone else think it was cool to see the breath from Ironhide in China, when he said he could smell the Decepitcon?

No they sacrificed on of the guys to rebuild Megatron. Unless they brought someone else back too that they didn't show reviving.

Yongkykun is right. I think it was a blooper. I noticed it also the second they mentioned it. Megatron replaced the sacrificed Decepticon, so there still would have been five bogies emerging from the ocean. Unless they still counted the dead Con, anyway.

Im going to guess that is a movie mistake showing the stunt driver, but hey you could also aways say its just the fake driver to fool humans to think they arnt transformers, such as the first one that had a pilot in blackout and a driver in barricade


I guess these movie transformers are organic creatures, making fluids in their bodies, but yet it could also be just like jet fuel, gas, antifreeze ect... i mean they are living in automobile shells afterall.

I spotted the 5/6 Decepticons as well and it didn't add up to me.

When Skids and Mudflap are arguing over who gets to the green car in the 'upgrade time' scene. their names were already on the plates of the cars as Mr Bay's new favourite spinning camera move swings around them at first.

In one of the college scenes when Sam was walking down stairs the same woman comes down behind him twice.

Looks like the continuity person wasn't working too hard.

Here's my take on that.

5 went down to revive Megatron as far as I remember.

Long Haul (or a clone, since there's always at least 2 of each Constructicon, except Hightower, who only appears as vehicle and Devastator arm)

Scalpel (The Doctor)

Ravage

Scrapper (or a clone)

Mixmaster (or a clone)

Megatron gets revived, and that would make six, except Scrapper got torn apart for parts, so that makes Megatron the new fifth.

So yeah, they should have said five, not six.

Bah, it's just US Navy Funding and training at it's best (looking at you EP )

Those were Sonarmen. The "coners" were definitely not smart as us "nukes."

They brought Blackout back didn't they? That would make 6 and explain how he showed up later.

Ahh,... yes... the whole "Was it Blackout or was it Grindor?" question.

As much as I enjoyed the movie, you think Starscream or Megatron saying the name of the helicopter who dropped off Sam, Mikaela, and Sam's roomate would have cleared this whole confusion... wouldn't it.

As much as I want it to be Blackout,... due to the toy of Grindor and no movie footage of Blackout in the ocean, I'm afraid it was probably Grindor in TF:RotF.

Did you guys notice that when they went into Simmons's secret room and Sam saw Frenzy's head, it was undamaged even though it was his with one of his flying blades on the first movie?

It would have been a pretty clean cut, Simmons could have just glued it together.

Agreed. It's most likely "Grindor". I don't recall any footage of Blackout OR Grindor in the ocean. I didn't even see a corpse of what could have been Blackout. Blackout wasn't in the five that went underwater as far as I can tell, unless he was off camera, which would be pretty dumb.

Are there any comics or adaptions out that may clear this up?
