If this has already been discussed , I apoligize in advance. But I haven't seen it discussed yet. How come we see in the trailers, and movie clips all the other transformers, or at least most of them, but nothing other than a couple of short shots of Megatron, frozen and in the secret base? Is he the BIG CGI transforming surprise in this movie? Why is he not advertised more in the movie trailers?

No, they just don't want to scare away potential movie patrons looking for a kick-ass Megatron.

Why couldn't they just have him as a gun?!

IMBD Triva wrote:Megatron's classic alternate mode was a Walther P38 pistol, but Hasbro the owners, and official distributors of the toyline stated that they would not produce a gun of any kind for their characters (it's also illegal to make replica toy guns in several jurisdictions). Also the writers thought it was like "having Darth Vader transform into his own lightsaber and someone else swinging him around," so it was changed to an "interstellar jet."
The writers and producers have also made it clear the characters won't be doing any "mass shifting" or using "subspace pockets."

That sounds like a fair answer. But it brings up this question
Where is Optimus's trailer going to go when he transforms?

In the movie trailer, you see his "trailer" on him as he rounds the corner through the smoke, then when they show him start transforming it is gone in classic fashion, unless my eyes are betraying me and I am only seeing something I really want to see, like how I am seeing Megan Fox in my cubicle with me right now.

The producers and directors thought it would look ridiculous to have mass-shifting (our fancy term for things growing) in the film. Which is why Soundwave isn't in the film. His new Cybertronian jet form was made so he could:
*fly
*have a destructive alt mode while still being around Prime's size

one of the downfalls of being a gun... he couldnt shoot himself!!! he transforms to a jet. if he was a gun, I doubt he could have flown halfway across the universe to earth...lol
