O_o I thought he transformed, blended in, kept attacking, and then eventaully the fighters banded together and chased him down, and he had to retreat. I dont remember him firing on Megatron...damn now I want to go see the movie again just to be sure.
EDIT
Yeah, I just found the scene on Youtube. He destroys all but two or 3 of the F22-Raptors, then flees, and they stay on target and attack the other decepticon that was gonna help Megatron. I forget which one it was, as the scene just ended when they fired at him. I think it was Blackout....yeah, and that one guy slides under and shoots him in the crotch XD
And now one thing I think.
This movie had too much bumble bee and not enough Starscream. Definately not enough starscream. He doesnt show up until Megatron is awakened, and then doesnt REALLY show up in any acctual "scenes" until the big battle. And then hes gone as soon as the F22's come in. He leaves earth. Im thinking hes gonna try and get control of any other decepticons who will join him, then come back to earth and attack. Hmm...think they might eventually include Unicron in a future film, since its obvious there will be more than a second.
XP And now, after seeing some of the toys...Im acctually thinking about getting Starscream, because he is awesome and my second favorite non beast wars Transformer.(While beast wars may not have been the first transformers show I saw, it was the first I really got in to, so its always gonna be my favorite.) And I heard his toy is rather good. And I might also get Megatron, just because...well...hes Megatron...you have to have a Megatron...Its like...an unwritten rule...and now that I just typed it its an unwritten but typed rule. So like...go get one...seriously.
I heard the Optimus one is a must buy aswell...and after seeing pictures and videos, I can honestly say this. "HOLY ******** HES HUGE!"...yeah...
Of course he cant beat the size of my Ultra Cheetor, but thats old news.
I havent checked much into the Autobot toys since...well Im a Decepticon guy. I still need to look up Blackout's toy, I hope its good. Hes the biggest one in the movie. I mean, he was even taller than Megatron in that movie, which is crazy. Megatron should be the best at everything. Including height, weight, power, mental ability, explosions, and yes even death scenes...just because he has to be the best.

I wish I still had the toys from way back when.
Being the geek mom I am I took the kids to see this and the oldest child carried the Optimus Prime figure (he is rather large and heavy and takes forever to put together) and the boy had on his voice changing Optimus Prime helmet. He kept attracting a bunch of fan boys wanting to try it on. I guess they wanted to be cool like an 8 year old, lol smile
I did buy the scorpion and I wanted the others but they were all gone and as it was I had to dig through a bunch of crap Barbie's to get to it.

I hear they cost like 40 bucks a peice to. To get the whole set that would be...lets set. Multiply by 5, divide by 2, carry the 6...AH That totals to a WHOLE ******** LOT XD One thing that came to mind today...why did it take this long for a live action transformers to be made? Then I though, wait, that might be a good thing. If it was done earlier, it wouldnt have the technology we have today, and probably wouldnt be as good. Yeah, Ive decided Im gonna get Starscream when I can, then later on Megatron. I might get Blackout after that, or go on to the Autobots. Really, I like Starscream and Optimus' toys the most. They are the best compared to the movie I think(Excluding the no hand thing for Starscream) Megatron's toy is rather...A. Hard to use. B. Hard to transform. C. His Cybertonian Jet is weird as a toy. and D. an odd color. I dont really like the Auto-transform thing. Until we develop the technology to push a button and have the toy do the WHOLE thing by itself, that should be left out, as its only gonna cause problems. Like when you transform it, if you pull on the head to do something, and its suppost to autotransform, what if you are holding it wrong, and it blocks it, and you pull just a LITTLE too hard and it breaks. Besides, transforming it all on your own is whats fun about these things. (I also heard Megatron's instructions only make it harder than if you just winged it XD) Ive been watching some stop motion videos of the transformations...some of these guys are pretty good at that stop motion thing. XD And I saw that Optimus Voice changer! Which one do you have? There are two versions. One with Peter Cullen's voice, and one with someone elses. XD I saw a video on youtube where the guy was using it to recite lines from famous movies, and he said he was using it to make prank calls. Imagine "Hello?" "This is Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots" "What?..." "We need you to help us destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons" "...Jake is that you?" "No, I am Optimus Prime, and we need your help to save the human race." "OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG*fanboyfreakoutorgasm then faints*" "Hello...hello?...Dude I WAS JUST KIDDING WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED!?*gets all worried*" XD That would be funny >.> they need a Megatron one now, so that I can wear it and scare all the little kids with the Optimus voice changers...except yours of course. ....hehehehe. Im so evil. XD Anyone ever seen the pictures of the transforming cardboard box guys? Someone needs to do that with an optimus costume. Oh s**t as I typed this I just found a ton of videos of people with transformer costume XD Google thou art awesome. I even found a guy that makes em *although for about 4grand XP* and has a really good starscream. Thats probably why its four grand. Now if only you could transform into a gun, like megatron...no wait who would fire you then O_o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeMUlSe1sjMVideo including a Transforming Optimus

eek HOLY s**t! Those dudes were awesome. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I really want to. Just saw Order of the Phoenix, though. If you liked the first few HP movies, I wouldn't recommend any of the movie other than when the Weasleys get pissed at Umbridge.
On the Transformers note, though, nothing can top Beast Wars. It PWNED Transformers. I used to spend hours designing different forms you could make with the multi-class Predators. DECEPTICONS ALL THE WAY!

Well technically in beast wars they were the Predacons, decendants of the Decepticons.
And the Maximals, decendants of the Autobots.

I saw the movie last week... and it was awesome.. even though I've never even watched the cartoons. Except for maybe a few times. But now I can't wait for any sequals.. XD
...and what would be awesome is if things like that really existed... If they did I'd like spend the rest of my life looking for a car that's for sale that has that autobot logo on it... rofl. Then I'd have a heart attack, and someone else would buy it.. and I'd be pissed. but whatever. xd

Pfft, Id rather BE a transformer, and naturally I would join the decepticons. >.> I mean seriously, who wants to be an autobot when you can blow up half a city easily.
Decepticons FTW.

Gotta feel sorry for the Deceptacons in the G1 continuity. The Autobots do seem to be the lesser of two evils generally... But they were really far from pure. >_> After the Ark crashed on Earth, Cybertron's energy crisis sent the transformers into emergency stasis lock. Thousands, millions, maybe billions of years later considering how long the Ark was on Earth... Shockwave the Deceptacon awakened. He woke the other tansformers, and the Autobots and Deceptacons actually came to live rather peacefully together. Until the Autobots learned of Optimus Prime's continued existance apparently and RESTARTED THE WAR WITH NO PROVOCATION. An anti-Deceptacon campeign that, if Teletraan 1's description is at all accurate, payed true homage to one phrase in the Transformers theme. "Destroy the evil Deceptacons!"
Then, after the Great War ended... The Autobots basically boned the Deceptacons with the signing of Pax Cybertronia. They were free, to an extent... But lesser citizens, with quite a few limitations. BW Megatron really exaggerated it when he proclaimed in one speech that the Autobots made the Deceptacons into their slaves, but it's a pretty bold statement none the less. One should take note that until the factions became truely equal only after they were both put through the same strifes by the hand of Megatron in the end of Beast Machines. Few, possibly no Predacons had any real seats of power outside of strictly predacons groups, some of which seemed to be secretive... And think about this. The Axalon was a MAXIMAL exploration vessel, the Golden Disk was in the MAXIMAL archieves, the chambers of Cybertron's leaders were run by MAXIMALS until Megatron took it over in Beast Machines, Rampage and the transwarp drive were MAXIMAL experiments.

Meh, Megatron is an evil genius. Sure hes evil, but a genius none the less.. Anyway I was rewatching some of the G1 series(having not watched most of it, and not in many years) and I gotta say...Starscream is dumber than I remember...O_o Seriously...and Megatron is more badass than I remember too. So far hes been kicking Prime's a**. XD Still you gotta love Starscream for the fact that SOMEONE needs to be around to get kicked around by Megatron. That, and who else would lead all those Jets? Also...the Autobots are weaker than I remember. O_o It seems that very few of them can even throw a punch, much less fight. The only one whos acctually doing any damage is Optimus, usually he fights Megatron while his autobot buddies are getting their asses handed to them in a basket. Though, they do say they arent built for battle like the Deceptacons are...still...nowadays you always see the Autobots/Maximals winning, and the Deceptacons running off in the end with their tails between their legs. And this is just after watching the first 4 episodes. If things continue this way...O_o Well how did the Autobots win again?

Unicron. That basically won them the first part of the war, until Galvatron returned and took command of the Deceptacons again. Not sure how they beat them then, but I do know that apparently afterward the Pax Cybertronia was signed. And the Autobots did have a few other heavy hitters, but they were all giants and were an energy crisis' nightmare...

Yeah thats cause (ask Optiums pointed out) if they tried anything they would have to kill people to get him back cause there was no way around it. Besides how many times would they have had to do something like that to save the majority? Its not like they wanted to or like doing it, just really no choice.

Yup very good remake! ^_^ (Dont post much sweatdrop ) I especially loved the new Megatron,he had this aura that gave him that "kill my own grandmother" feel about him. Best of all he doesn't shrink into a small gun which never made sense to me.

Yeah thats cause of the whole 'mass shift' perameters they worked out. ei. they can only transform into something of equvalent mass. Yeah admittedly Megz did give off that 'harbinger of death' feel. He's just out and out evil which i loved. No grey zones there.
Also love that little scene near the end (potencial spoiler) when he's on the ground and that guy gets too close and he just says "Humans, disgusting" and flicks they guy like a bug into a car.

I mean, those Sector 7 guys were dicks. Barking up the wrong tree and s**t. I mean Sam could have been like, Bumblebee I order you to shoot them or something, I mean he IS: spoilers again I guess sam's guardian.
I know it would have ruined the whole series of events but come on.[/white]
