What are the "Nights of Cybertron" and the "Nights of Unicron?" Don't they do anything during the day?
And Ironhidensh, no. Just...NO. He's a much better actor than rapper. And that's not saying much.

Besides, Epps would totally be the lead singer of the group over Cade anyway.

And c), why did he need any of it considering all that time he could have just added space travel capability into his boots like he did in AoE?
To be fair, the end of AoE made it sound as if the next movie would be Optimus Prime in space looking for the Quintessons (or whatever Bay might retcon it to), but then why would he keep a semi truck alt mode?

Well, there is a precedent for semi truck alt modes in space...

Yes, there is. But, Transformers fans or not, I think we can all agree that a semi truck driving through space is absolutely ridiculous.
Which, now that I think about it, is probably why Bay has done it. With a flame deco, no less . . .

The thing about his boots though, from what happened when prime got the sword, it looks like they were a new upgrade rather than something he already had.
As for trucks in space, I'd rather have a winnebago in space

I've always preferred lint speed myself. Spoooooooooooooon!
So at some point he was a knight, presumably with access to the sword, got that upgrade, said "nah, I'd rather not be able to fly," lost it, and then forgot how to get it back.
Hoo boy.

Oh great. 
The military is back. One of the many things that made the first three terrible.

There is big transforming robots beating each other up and trashing stuff and you expect the military not to get involved?
Plus I liked lennox and his crew

As much as I agree with the criticism of Bay's predilection for military narratives or involvement, I agree more with ZeroWolf's point here. It's also being used/explored in the current IDW comics, and so far it's working fairly well (and much better than DotM/AoE, for example).

So long as the military doesn't take over the movie like it did in the first three I'm happy to have Lennox back, especially if his team is back with him. Though I'd rather see Lennox act as an ambassador between the government and the Autobots, with little to no military intervention in the battles themselves. I can't see the Autobots willing to work with the military again after they were hunted down after Chicago. That makes Lennox one of the few people who could be sent to try and formalize relations once more. Thematically it works.
