    well after their tangle with Devvy, I'll bet they would have iced the Fallen with zero effort.

    Just a quick question who was the blue Autobot at the air base with lightning shooting out of his hands, you only see him in the background there and one at the final fight seen. But he looked awsome when you did get to see him,
    so who was he and what was his purpose in the movie

    Was there to fire lightning out of his hands haha

    Dunno, I will go see it again on the weekend maybe, on the smaller screen.
    I think with IMAX, its too big to be able to look at all the action, but it was still worth it.

    Looking For: Wreckers Saga TPB Collection (with Requiem)

    I thought I read somewhere Jolt was there purely because the car company wanted to plug another car, and I'm sure Hasbro didn't mind either.

    Yeah I read he wasn't in the movie until GM told Bay they wanted to put their new hybrid car in.

    Also I worked out where I had seen those different coloured constructicons before... On my sons "Bob the Builder" DVD

    Jolt, and to combine Optimus and Jetfire.

    WHere was Bumblebee when Sam and Mikalea were trying to get to op. He drops them off for a bit and then shows up at the Ramapage fight. Incidentally, does Rampage have to make "SPROING" noises as he goes?
    Wasn't that when he was transporting Sam's parents to safety, or was that before?

    A shame when they could have reused the Starscream model X number of times and given us a full Decepticon Air Force. (the names and colours are well established after all, and there's toys of half of them already )

    My first thought in the Air base scene was wait who is that? My second thought was, have I seen that toy?

    Alice did seem to be a female Decepticon, and Arcee appeared to be a female Autobot(s?) and Optimus Prime was a descendent, and Transformers have "generations" so I guess there must indeed be some sort of reproduction going on...

    I liked the movie. That's not to say that I thought it was flawless, but I enjoyed it. It pretty much matched my expectations;
    + It was an action packed "popcorn" flick
    + Michael Bay makes action packed "popcorn" flicks
    + The first TF movie was an action packed "popcorn" flick

    My main gripes is the introduction of all these robots who don't transform, like Ravage, the Decepticon that Ravage regurgitates inside the AllSpark shard chamber, Soundwave etc. I'm sorry, I thought this movie was called Transformers. (-_-)

    But overall I found it to be an enjoyable movie and I look forward to seeing it for a 3rd time in the cinema and getting it on DVD when it comes out.

    Another interesting thing is talking to other people about their feelings about this movie and also when watching it for the 2nd time last night, seeing how other people in the audience reacted. Because we all see things in a different way and we have different tastes. For example:
    + Some people complained about the blurry fight scenes. I love blurry fight scenes. It lends a real air of realisim. Also, they're giant effing robots! Imagine watching people having a street brawl from an ant's POV. One thing I really hate about so-called "martial arts" movies is that the fight choreography is often too clean and pretty... completely unrealistic (I'm looking at you Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon! <waves fist>). Give me gritty realism any day.
    + Some people found the "reefer cookie" joke funny. Some people in the audience last night I was with laughed at it. I didn't think it was funny, but evidently others did. One of my friends loved the scene where Sam's mum crash-tackled the student with the frisbee.
    + People in last night's audience laughed at the joke "there is no tighter shirt, we've checked." - I didn't think it was that funny.
    + I laughed out loud when Leo tasered and later when Simmons tasered him. The audience laughed too.
    + I laughed when Leo told Mikaela that she'd landed on his groin and Simmon's line of "enemy scrotum" - but maybe that's just my obsession with hurting janglies kicking in.
    + I laughed when Leo's roommate said, "The internet is pure truth." I didn't hear anyone else laughing though so maybe I'm the only one who found that funny.

    Btw Zaul - Devastator was hit with an experimental rail cannon which appeared to fire some kind of energy expulsion, so it's not a conventional ballistic missile launcher.

    I like to think that was movie Buzzsaw (or Laserbeak I suppose).
