Transformers NBE Cover Up(Spoilers)

[=flabortaster=]

I posted this in the Final Trailer thread but it was topic. so I decide to make it's own thread.

In the Script it states that the government and Sector 7 pretty much cover up the entire incident involving the Transformers from the world. However when I see the various trailers it doesn't seem to be the case. In the Autobot vs Decepticon battle in LA there are many bystanders.

Many people witness the battle. In the scene where Ironhide evade a missle there are two civilians in the sidewalk beside him. A boy and a mom see Bonecrusher skating through the freeway and I am certain many other drivers witness him.

Jon Voight's character in the final trailer seems to make a speech about facing war against a technological civilization. I don't remember reading a speech like this in the script. Is this part of the script being changed? Will the whole world know about the Transformers when the movie ends? Are they scrapping the Sector 7 cover up all together?

What are your opinions about this?

I forgot about a cover up after all of it happened?

But, hardly anybody truly knows about the Transformers before seeing Megatron for the first time.

they covered it up from their inception in 1930 to when Blackout attacks Qatar.

Prior to that (1897-1930) the US government covered it up on their own.

I meant after the movie. In the script after the LA battle they were still able to cover it up. However in the trailers it seems that mass hysteria and public speech on the actual existence of the aliens..

 

[Tempest19]

Well, there was no way they could really cover it up. So if it is, that actually makes a lot more sense than acting like nothing really happened.

I mean- something did happen, people know it- people have seen it with their own eyes... always have. I mean, almost EVERY piece of electronic equipment is a Transformer.... cell phones, handheld games, X-Box 360 (lol ) Really cool stuff... people would know, wouldn't you know?

They only covered up Megatron (the first robot ever to come to earth), hiding him away from the public eye, for the last 100 years or so...

Since than, several more Decepticons have arrived on earth, hiding in disguise, looking for their leader, whom came ahead of them... But when the war breaks loose between the Autobots and the Decepticons, there's NO MORE HIDING! and the government can't do **** about it (like they could before!). They had the power to cover up the first robot coming to earth, as they found him frozen salad in the antarctic! But when an army of robot-soldiers start popping up everywhere, what more is there to hide??? How COULD they hide it?

It's just like the government covered up the supposedly crashed UFO that went down in Roswell in the 50's, and kept that a secret... BUT, how would they cover up the secret of an extra terrestrial existence when these things start popping up everywhere!!? I mean, IF that were to happen of course.

If OUR government knew about the existence of an alien civilization and they came to our planet for real, I would say it's about time they started explaining **** to the rest of the world! (hence Jon Voight as the president telling the world about what civilization they're up against)

But ask your self this! IF there really is "little green men" out there, and the government KNOWS about this... Would you REALLY wanna know!? I mean unless it became absolutely nessecary!???

 

[Tempest19]

Hell yeah I want to know- I'm sick and tired of the government treating us like a bunch of fcking' idiots! A weather balloon, come on! So, yeah, I'd want them to stop lying to us.

Jon Voight is the Secretary of Defense Keller.. People seem to be mistaking him for the President. The President only makes a cameo in Air Force One which Frenzy infiltrates.

 

[shigsy2003]

Maybe they are going to hire the Men in Black to wipe the minds of those that see the battle

 

[Dr Lee]

In the leacked script Keller announces the attack in Qatar on live TV, Whch is where that shot of Lennox's Missus comes from. I don't believe that the voiceover of Voight saying aobut the 'alien whatever' has any connection to that press conference apart from Keller being involved in both.

I say don't cover it up...then in the second one, people would be friends with Prime.

XXin G1 they participated in charity car races, and based on S3 and S4 helped expose humanity to more of what the rest of the galaxy had to offer as far as a community goes. They were hardly a secret that's for sureXX
