the easy way out is just to not buy any ROTF figures and say it's because Michael Bay gets 8% of the sales of the toys and you don't want to give that hack any more money than he already has
Do you realize how crazy it is that you know how much money Bay gets off toy sales and have a moral reaction to such information.

So does everyone in this thread still hate this movie?
Because I just saw it today and thought it was okay. A lot of the juvenille humor could stand to be removed, and the twins were too over the top at times, but nothing caused me to outright hate the movie.
I laughed at scenes, the action was enjoyable, and overall I was entertained.

I liked the movie as well. True, I wish they didn't have certain characters enter and leave the movie so quietly, but it was otherwise fine. Seeing Optimus for the first time in the movie left me with a big smile on my face. As for the Twins...you know what? Screw the politically-correct haters. They were fun to watch. I hope they pop back in the third movie.
I liked the first one. This one was just boring. I can take some lameness and crudeness and bit of a poor plot, but it got to a stage where it was so bad I just didnt care anymore, and that stage happened really early on.
It wasnt fun, I was more impressed with the small amount of time the transformers spent onscreen in the first than all the CG they could pack into this one.
T2 compared to Bad Boys 2 a lot, and thats accurate in a way - Bad Boys 1 was tolerable, brief and a bit of fun, Bad Boys 2 was none of those things, and all the action in the world cant make me enjoy it, same with transformers 2.
I just saw it this weekend in IMAX. Totally worth the money as far as I'm concerned. I can see why people woul dhate it, but I'm not one of those people. I enjoyed the fuck out of the movie.
The forest scene, Starscream and Megatron actually being characterized, the plot (yes I said the plot, I didn't see all the plotholes that everyone seems to be bitching about, I guess that makes me stupid right?) the twins which I didn't find racist, and Jetfire. All awesome.

was the thing that the insecticons combine into based on anything?
Not that I can think of off the top of my head. Perhaps in the script they have a specific name for it.
well
i thought it was kind of a homage to the tape deck transformers seeing as how it was flat, but that might have been looking too much into it
I immediately thought of this thing, but I'm almost certain it wouldn't have been a reference that obscure.
There were a couple of things in that movie I took as references that probably weren't.

The only plothole was
why go 3000 miles to college without the super hot girlfriend you obviously have feelings for? What, aren't there community colleges or anything in your area? If you're banging Megan Fox, be happy with that. You don't go off to college and just leave that behind. Also you don't leave behind your bitching Camaro that also turns into a giant fucking robot. Regardless of the college rules, you take that with you.

Also
Why insist on having a normal life when you could be out tranvelling the world hunting down and brutally murdering dozens of evil giant fucking robots. That kinda shit beats college any day of the week, and you probably get paid quite handsomly to do it too

The guy who plays Sam's dad should be in more stuff.

Exactly. Why didn't Sam just take him and tell him to drive around while he's in class or something? Maybe park up somewhere? I mean it's not like someone's going to just up and steal your sentient alien death machine.
I'm kind of wondering if it was supposed to be Sam giving him a kick out the door to join the other Bots fighting with NEST. Which in the much better moving in my head is exactly what would have happened, and we would have seen him, like, twice before the end credits as Lennox and Epps chase Decepticons all over the world and are fighting a political battle with CIA dude

I thought that too, but
Bumblebee made his choice to remain guardian, and Optimus Prime knew shit was still up with Decepticons because they kept finding them. Sam still needed a guardian. If Bumblebee did get bored, it's not like Iron Hide or the other sports car one that was there couldn't switch out for a month or two. I'm sure Sam wouldn't complain about trading out a kickass Camaro for a kickass truck or another sweet sports car.
It was written in with him going off to college for some TEH DRAMAZ but it was just stupid. Even with all the alien sentient robots, I personally would not move 3000 miles away from the hot ass girlfriend when all she needed was a few months to get her dad up and running after he got out of jail. Especially when after you saved the world together. You would think the government would pay for your college education to get you on board with the whole secret alien robots and your direct involvment with them. It's not like you had to worry if she could afford college or get Stafford Loans.

Because it would
It's like they took a good movie and put a shit movie in the middle of it.
But I will take a NEST movie over a Shia-LeBoeuf-can't-say-he-loves-Megan-Fox movie any day of the week
did they ever say what NEST stands for?
Yeah the beginning NEST scene, the Forest Scene and any scene with Megatron and Starscream was the best stuff in the movie.
More of all of that for TF3 please.

National-Extraterrestrial Strike Team was my best guess without looking. Since TFwiki's not working and I have to go to work, I can't check.
EDIT: Beat'd.
only if Jeff Goldblum agrees to a cameo
they have to do the predacons too
gonna see some dinobots vs predaking action
I'd like to see the Dinobots fight a repaired Devistator.
Then I'd like to see the Aerial Bots vs the Stunticons with giant, combined robot action.
