DOTM unanswered and answered questions (lots of spoilers)

The Wreckers built it but i'm not sure if they built it on Earth (my guess is yes) or if they arrived on it.

I'm pretty sure they arrived on it, because I remember someone said "it brought the second wave of Autobots" in the film. But my point is, by "second wave" do they mean that the crew of the Xantium was those people and Skids, Mudflap, Arcee, Chromia, Elita-1, Sideswipe etc? Because if Dino, Que, Brains and the Wreckers have been around that long, might they not have been of some use in Revenge of the Fallen?

The comic specifically referred to 'Sideswipe and the others' from the second movie, but in the movie it only mentioned 'second wave'. So it could mean the Wreckers arrived before the second movie, but were just kept in isolation because of their "behavior". And Sam should have known about it already from it being on Earth for at least 2 years.
And the wreckers are like maintenance bots, who attached a decommissioned NASA orbiter/shuttle to the Xantium (in the Movie).
In the comic, they went up to get Sentinel in an Ares V rocket, so the Xantium (which was totally Cybertronian in appearance) was properly introduced at the time the Autobots were being expelled from Earth.

Brains was a Decepticon according to the comics right? Like Wheelie he defected which is why he was living with Sam rather than being allowed into NEST HQ, which is why they weren't counted among the number of Autobots on Earth, and why the pair of them referred to themselves as Political Refugees.

I think it makes more sense for the new ship to have brought the second wave of Autobots who responded to Prime's message to all the Autobots among the stars at the end of the first film. So that Sideswipe, Arcee, Jolt & Twins were the first wave, and the Wreckers, Que and Dino were the second.

erm pardon me, but I only know Brains... who's Dino and Que? I watched the movie but god knows they pace it fast at times you can't get whose who unless you see it again ( not gonna happen unless it's DVD release)

Dino (aka Mirage) = Red sports car who looked cool but that's about it.
Que (aka Wheeljack) = Blue robot who gave humans weapons (Sam's glove that let him fight Starscream) and was executed as a prisoner during the Chicago battle.

Dino was the red car and Que was the other one with hair like Brains who gave the weapons to the humans. (Sorry, I didn't refresh the page and realise that Paulbot had already answered this.)

Ooooh So that's who's who. Thanks!

could someone please tell me in the scene where we see the autobots return from the dead, there feels like a section of film was chopped out as it suddenly changes to epps passing sam a gun and saying something. It just seemed like Mr Bay chopped some film which made a few scenes feel uneven, particularly this one. Anything different in the comic adaptations? I know the uneven scenes have been discussed previously but this one stood out to me every time ive seen the film.

Skyhammer is an attack helicopter. The planes they used to para-glide into the city were used for the 'Incinerator' toy.
I don't recall the attack helicopter, unless it was inside the NEST base that Sentinel destroyed.

I seem to recall seeing a helicopter that looked like Skyhammer in the NEST base.

I had a closer look at the NEST base that Sentinel was gunning down on Saturday, didn't appear to have Skyhammer. They had Hueys and Incinerators but no Skyhammer-like helicopter.
