Ironically, their list of continuity errors has the same errors listed multiple times.

Well, I've got a serious plothole. If they could revive Megatron with one allspark shard, even after 2 years at the bottom of the ocean and rebuilt with cannibalized plots, why couldn't Sam and Mikaela revive Prime with the shard they had?
I can think of a couple of reasons that they wouldn't have done that:
1) They didn't know that's how the Decepticons did it, therefore, they had no way of knowing that would have worked. For all they knew, using the fragment on Prime's lifeless body might have had the same horrific effect it had on the Witwicky's kitchen appliances!
2) Optimus died 'normally', at Megatron's hands. Megatron had the bulk of the Allspark, the font of Cybertronian life and creation, shoved into his chest causing him to overload (at a spiritual level???). He could have been in a coma, an ascended state, one with the Allspark, blah blah. Essentially, his 'dead' wasn't necessarily the same as Prime's 'dead'.
3) The Decepticons had fresh parts and a spark to repair Megatron (although I'd grant this is essentially the role Jetfire fulfilled when he sacced himself).
4) The Decepticons had Scalpel, who for all we know may be more proficient than Ratchet, if for no other reason than his evilness and german accent allowing him to explore the fringes of the arcane.
5) The Decepticons had a much bigger piece of the Allspark.
This may be just an opinion, but if Ironhide can "smell" Demolishor when he arrives, and Ratchet can read hormone levels, couldn't BB at least recognize Alice as a Decepticon when she's riding inside him? Why is BB so handicapped? no voice, no smell....
My wife and I debated why Bumblebee couldn't ID her at the time, though I was thinking of her energy-signature rather than her smell. My argument was that she was a dedicated infiltration/espionage model, and that would be pretty worthless if your primary enemies could identify you in your disguise. So I assume she had something to mask her Decepticon smell and a system for exuding synthetic B.O. Heck, maybe she went out at night and killed Coeds for their sweat.
Also, Wheelie disappears after going into a pyramid. He walks in saying "we've got real work to do" or something, but is never seen again during the battle.
That made me sad.

Same way Obi-Wan talks to Luke in ESB and ROTJ.
How did Demolishor get where he was without being noticed? Logically he would be huge and have a wheel foot in protoform mode, or you could say he landed there when he came, but don't you notice a new huge power shovel at your site? Don't forget Sideways was there, too.
Well, you could argue that he disposed of the original copy?
Also, the NEST team had to find out he was there somehow, maybe they were responding to his arrival (in other words, he
was noticed)?
This was also a problem in TF1. Starscream seemed to just be sitting on an airforce base kicking back jet fuel until he got word from Barricade. An extra F-22 would probably be even hard to pull off than an extra power shovel, since the F-22 is probably fewer in number and has more paperwork attached.
Megatron calls for the decepticons to come and commence attack, but how can they not come? Can they stop falling in midair as meteors to wait and listen for Megatron? Unless Megatron did some huge math problem and calculated when he could say that when they were about to fall, just to show his leadership, it's impossible for them to control that. You can't tell a meteor to wait to fall.
I imagine the space-travel forms have some descent control (I think they mention in the comics for the first movie that they change direction, betraying them as extra-terrestrials).
Don't forget it had shown them entering the atmosphere before Megatron arrived in Egypt.
Did it show all of them? Or maybe just a first-strike team?

TFWiki has two pretty good explanations.
1 - The Decepticons reuse body-types a lot, just like the Seekers in G1, and (I heard this mentioned somewhere else) Soundwave had scanned a small number of desirable alternate modes and passed them on to the large number of invading Decepticons as they arrived, resulting in repetition.
2 - Supreme class Devastator is actually movie accurate. If you stop to think about it, their is nothing in the movie to indicate that the individual components of Devastator are independent Constructicons, they go directly from vehicle-form to combined form. So Devastator would be
one of the Constructicons rather than the merger of the Constructicons.
