better yet - cassette tapes!! Raindance and Grandslam stored incredible amounts of information about the Underbase! Although Optimus Prime's entire consciousness was once stored on a floppy disk!
Then there was "The Ultimate Doom" which showed the Cybertronians storing data on the super-futuristic technology of laser disc. =)
It's fun watching scifi get dated. (^_^)
I actuall had no problem with Optimus Prime cutting heads off in battles but did feel a little uncomfortable of how they protrayed his execution of Demolisher in Shanghai. (He did tell Demolisher to stop/stand down initially on the highway though.) But when he sacrificed himself for Sam in the forest battle and told Sam to run with his dying breath, he was the Optimus Prime that I remembered and loved. Even though I knew they would bring him back to life I did feel like crying...
I also had no problem of Bumblebee ripping the spine out of Ravage (sorry all you Ravage fans out there... )

i think the highlight's of the movie were the decepticon dismemberment scenes, remember the only good con is a dead con
to be fair what were demolisher and sideways up too, b4 nest and the autobots came along they must have been up to something to warrent their attention.

Probably street racing. You know those hoon decepticons

The "writers" got paid $8 million for this... uh, "story"! Yes... $8 MILLION!
Yeah, this really p!ssed me orf when I was watching the film. I was so tempted to yell out at the screen - "Who cares what the US President thinks, you idiots?!"
100% Perfect!
Films should stand alone by themselves! Is Bay expecting people to go out and read a comic book to explain what the hell is going on in his film???
So true... I'm utterly appalled by the "story-telling" in this film (or lack of)!!
Now lets think about this for a minute. At the end of the first movie Optimus sends an invite to other Autobots to come to Earth. These Decepticons were not invited. Even if they aren't doing anything then they are still tresspassing. Maybe they need a big sign hanging from a satelitte in space "Tresspassers will be shot!"
Also it's like I've seen in numerous Law and Order episodes. Why did they run when the authorities show up? Jerry Orbach used to ask it all the time "If you didn't do anything wrong then why did you run when you saw us?"

Trouble is, as the liaison reminded everyone, this is not the Autobots' planet to invite people to (which Demolishor also comments on).
I reread Sideways's bio and he is basically scared and looking to Demolishor for protection. It could be said that Demolishor was leading the Autobot Death Squad away from his protectorate.

The movie explains that the decision to allow Optimus Prime to invite more Autobots to Earth was vetted by the military.
Indeed - there is the option to peacefully surrender. Instead they flee, and in Demolishor's case, also attacked soldiers, killing a number of them.Originally Posted by Bartrim
Another great quote re. running I remember - not from where, sadly, could even have been one of the Bad Boys films - is.
"I didn't do nuthin' man!"
"So why were you running?"
"You were chasing me!"
If someone kills my supreme leader and a whole bunch of my allies and then shows up looking for me, I'm running too.
