I too enjoyed this movie quite thoroughly. I thought it was made specifically for the people who watched the original series. A grown up version of the cartoon, with little plot and lots and lots of gratuitous shots (be it action or female). The only thing I had a slight problem with was the use of a plot device from the GI Joe cartoons for their movie.

I was saying from the get go if you were going to see Transformers for plot or character development you were seeing it for the wrong reason, and were likely to be disappointed.
That said, I liked it. It entertained me for a couple hours, which is all I ever ask a movie to do.

Meh other than the action, it was pretty cheesy.

I've been tempted to go see it, but I know it will be a huge letdown and waste of money if I go.

I just saw this again yesterday and I think I can answer most of the questions.
1. This one I have no idea about, so I'll avoid it.
2. My thinking is that once it brings the kitchen and Jetfire to life the little shard of the spark is out of juice. His [Sam's] shard brings back like 10 dudes compared to the one the Decepticon's revives, I think it'd make sense for it be done.
3. Have you heard of a Fishfinder? It's basically a rudiment to SONAR. It can pick up fish that are effectively 1/10th the size of a human. It wouldn't be too far-fetched to assume that the United States Military, the most advanced in the world, could pick up something 1/3rd of the size of a human with their SONAR.
4. According to the movie Wikipedia, The Doctor transforms into a microscope. What do microscopes have that are used in glasses? Lenses. The lenses over his eyes are no different than Optimus Prime's doors serving as pecs.
5. I looked this up, Robo-Girl is actually a Pretender. Pretenders are a subline within the Transformers toy line that were introduced in 1988. The gimmick was that Transformers were supposedly capable of disguising their robotic forms through the use of sythetic organic outer shells.
Bumblebee was playing songs whose basic premise is cheating. Which is what was going to happen if Bumblebee hadn't stepped in with Anti-Freeze. He is Sam's guardian.
6. Transformers create each other using Energon. It's possible that a Prime created Optimus' great-great-creator, who created his great-creator, who created his creator, who in turn created him. A Prime wouldn't have to be alive persay, just someone who knew how to create a Prime.
I'd assume they felt loyalty to their brother, even though he was a rule-breaking, civilization destorying, doom-mongering, piece of work. I don't think I could ever bring myself to kill my own brother, but that's just me.
Optimus knows how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie-Pop. And Jetfire knows how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Blow-Pop. Together they are unstoppable.
7. I have no idea.
8. The NEST team is 6 hours away when Sam and crew start driving. If they did 70 MPH it'd take roughly three and a half hours to get 250 miles to Petra. They do cross what I assume is a border checkpoint, but that could be anything.
Here's a quote about the public's up-to-date information on Rail Guns: <ul type="square">[*]"On January 31, 2008 the US Navy tested a railgun; it fired a shell at 2520 m/s with an energy of 10.64 MJ.[15] Its expected performance is over 5.8 km/s muzzle velocity, accurate enough to hit a 5 meter target over 250 nautical miles (370 km) away while shooting at 10 shots per minute. It is expected to be ready in 2020 to 2025."[/list]250 Nautical Miles, that's 287.5 land miles. I think 80 is within it's reach don't you?
9. The only way I can begin to explain this one is remember when Epps (Tyrese Gibson) makes the comment to Galloway I believe it is, to this effect; "You gotta think, if God made us after his image, who made him?" It's possible there is a robotic god and he has a robotic domain. But that's a stretch.
10. I'll answer these in order.
<ul type="square">[*]No idea. [*]He takes it off his foot as he tells Mikaela about the voices. [*]Sam's roommate is helping with the Turkish helicopter troops and pilots after they crash. [*]He was looking for the end of Pi. [*]It's Soundwave, do not question Soundwave. [*]Wheelie is just doing what every man has though of doing to Megan Fox at least once. [*]It's a baseball thing. [*]There's actually only one with the same hidden form, the green Caterpiller dump truck, all the other dump trucks are different makes and models. [*]The US Military isn't the only military fighting, NEST is a coalition between several militaries, including the British. We hurt the Decepticons a lot, high heat sabot rounds ring any bells? [*]The Egyptians didn't make the Pyramid according to the movie, the anciet Transformers did to conceal the weapon from us. [*]It adapts, like the All-Spark in the first movie, it went from taking a whole hanger to fitting in Sam's arms. [*]Tide extra-strength bleach with stain guard.[/list]
thanks....good enough for me
Your welcome, I was bored and figured I'd be productive.

I saw it today. Too damn long. Ridiculous story, and I don't mean in a good way. The animations and special effects were top notch of course, but there was too much clutter to truly appreciate it. Too many explosions and/or cliche action sequences. We get it Micheal Bay, your Pen Is Huge. The Decepticons literally saved this movie for me. Oh that sniveling Starscream.
C-
At least I didn't have to pay for the ticket. Happy Birthday to Quark.
