Did I mention half assed writing?

 

 

A great many times.

I'd have preffered Megs to be in it from the start and have had an earlier confrontation with Prime in a set the scene kinda way.

 

No, the way they did it was perfect. Save the big bad ass for the end of the film, and have him come in and start beating the snot out of everyone in his grasp (Jazz and Prime) and then have the insignificant human do the final act that does him in at the end. Perfect. Having him in there earlier wouldn't have given me the sense of power and hatred towards humans that he did when he woke up.

 

The movie was great in this aspect, and secondly, we all know he's not going to stay dead. He's going to come back in the sequel, probably towards the end again, but this time it'll be to set up the threequel instead of waking up in time for the big battle royale. However, he comes back as either Megatron or Galvatron is another matter.

And no one cares.

You make some really good points Masterminicon. But some of what you've described sounds similar to several other action films and trilogies. I wouldn't want them to use the same formulae. I'd like them to come up with something different for Transformers. I find Megatron comeing back, maybe as Galvatron, at the END of the sequel to set up the third movie a little predicable. Mind you I can't think of anything else, but then again I'm not a movie writer!

Then how about they follow the Gandalf format and have him come in early in the film. I don't know how they'll plan it. They still have potential plans for the Dinobots, the Constructicons and Soundwave, so they have to work them in as well.

Starscream was the de facto leader while Megs was gone.

 

Most of the Decepticons wanted Megs back, this was indicated in the games and novels. However, they just didn't know where he was. Megatron, when he woke up, didn't care about what had happened while he was gone. He wanted the Allspark, and he could tell it was near.

 

Makes sense to me.

Perfect, treats the audience with intelligence and not treat em like idiots needing every thing explained to them like unattentive brats! :thumb :thumb :thumb

Poor writing.

 

:lol :roll :lol

 

I was thinking more along the lines of "oh hey, they probably went through all that stuff already back when he first went missing" and stuff.

 

I mean, it's not like he just went missing all of a sudden - he was gone for a while.

 

If you were Starscream, or Optimus, or Shockwave for that matter, wouldn't you have been saying for the last few thousand years, where's Megatron? He was suppose to have been burried in ice for a few thousand years?! Who's leading the Decepticons? After he got going again he didn't ask how long have I been burried in ice? What's happened during the War in my absence? Didn't seem to fit all that. Maybe I missed something. Help anyone?!

 

And also Megatron was fully aware of what was going on around him while he was frozen.

I guess freezing him immobilized him but did not screw his computer up and about learning Earth language through the world wide web there's always wireless connection.

Poor writing.

 

uh yeah,

 

 

maybe read the prequel material first if the dots don't exactly connect.

"nah, they'll be too impressed with all our CGI to stop and think about it."

 

It worked :( This question never previously occurred to me.

Poor writing.

 

GTFO of my internets, troll.
