Transformers YOUR BIGGEST WTF moments, including Plotholes,etc,etc of the TF movie THREAD!

[Nathan]

Must have been cut then. I won't believe that they simply left Barricade out, just hoping no one would notice.

 

[The Lizard]

Btw, did the glasses look too big to anyone else when Optimus was holding them?

Haha - YES. Some CG artist screwed that one up bad.

 

[CFlash]

That's exactly the way it happens in the leaked draft of the script from a year ago. The script just ceases to mention him with no explanation. They must have done it on purpose for whatever reason.

 

[Gabroni]

For me it was the too brief fight between Prime and Megatron, and how Megatron whipped Prime in their fight.

Did Prime ever have the upper-hand in the fight? Did he even land a punch? All I can remember was when he blasted Megatron (with an arm cannon I guess), but Megatron promptly responded with his own shot that was much more powerful.

That part of the movie was a big let down for me. I mean, would it have been too much to have Prime land one good punch that sent Megatron flying into a building?

 

[young-nyc]

how was megatron a space craft when there was no ships he could scan to take form?
maybe he scanned one in sector7??

 

[Nathan]

Uhm... he was an "Alien" spaceship. He had that form long before he arrived on earth.

 

[UltimateJustin]

I biggest WTF moments were Megan Fox's neck lines and that the movie rocked so much harder than every other summer movie.

It's clearly stated in the script what happens to him.

That Bumblebee defeats him? Sure. But long AFTER the Bumblebee fight he's mentioned as being one of the Decepticons that roles up into the fight at the end. And then... nothing.

it wouldnt suit megatrons personality to wake, and then scan for a vehicle etc...he is lord megatron..why would he attempt to hide from the "insects" he is so much more superior to them.. that was protoform megatron...he isnt going to assimilate, unless he has no choice. [like perhaps the sequel now that he has been beaten by these insects he wont underestimate them].

 

[Boiiinng]

All of these, besides the last one, are nitpicks to me. There are considerably bigger problems with this movie than those.

I agree, but I thought "WTF" when I saw those scenes, and this is a WTF thread. I'm missing the confusion.

It's clearly stated in detail that he joins the Prime/Bonecrusher fight. And they both get defeated. What script did you read?

"And they both get defeated?" It says no such thing. Especially since Bonecrusher shows up even AFTER that with Devastator and gets defeated (truly defeated) by a bunch of soldiers.

Where'd you put it last?

Bad phrasing on my part. Let me put it better then. Prime beats them both.

You said the way it happened in the movie is "exactly the way it happens" in the script. What I'm saying is that's wrong, because we don't ever see Barricade fight Prime, it's not even alluded to. If things played out the way they were in the script, I would've had no problem with Barricade not showing up after to be honest. Atleast, we would have an idea what happened.

True. I meant more that he's a disappearing Decep in the script and (seemingly?) a disappearing Decep in the movie itself. Seems to have been done on purpose was my point.

 

[UltimateMagneto]

Understood.

 

[Niño Manga]

Wikipedia, on each of the transformers own pages explains pretty well what may have happened with the survivors. No decepticon survives on the comic, maybe three or them survived in the movie, Starscream being the only confirmed one.

My biggest "WTF's" (I have many) involve the Allspark.
1.- It's ok that the AllSpark, which is a huuuuge cbe can become smaller, but how can it be carried by anyone? Volume change=Mass change? WTF!!!
2.- If Frenzy is able to regenerate his body from thin air by touching the AllSpark, why Bumblebee doesn't recuperate his voice? Or after the battle, why doesn't he regenerates his legs? PlotHole WTF!!!
3.- If the AllSpark crushed from space, where is the crates that huge body would have made? WTPhisics!!!
Anyway, I give the movie a 10 because it's awesome. And now many retractors are saying they love the new designs, when they nearly killed Bay...
Pray for a good TidalWave!!!

 

[cryptic name]

To clear a few things up...
Jazz doesnt need a 'dramatic' death scene. He's a soldier, one casualty in a war. What did you guys want? Dramatic music? Camera slowly circling around as he was torn in two pieces? Some other lame ass crap?

...it's a Michael Bay movie. so yes, lame ass crap would have worked.

Its ironic. You guys want more Autobots and Decepticons. That means underdeveloped characters. So you fans complain.
They put less robots, which means potentially fleshing out each character more fully. You guys complain about lack of robots. Sheesh..there's no satisfying you people. Jazz deserved the quick death scene.

no he didn't

As for Barricade disappearing...Prime supposedly destroyed him on the highway, which explains why he was late.

but it's not shown in the movie, or alluded to. so in the context of the film that's not necessarily so.

And the 'evil' robots created by the Allspark. Newsflash, they're not evil. Suprise! Ever heard of self defense?

ah yes, often times when i'm sitting idley, i will launch into a full attack of everything around me. you know, in self defense.

i saw the movie last night and i thought it was one of the best I've seen this year. But I think my main WTF moment was when the allspark changed that Mountain-Dew machine and that one random chick's car (btw, did the car kill her with that weird hand-thing comin out of the wheel). Did it get destroyed later on in the movie? Didn't really see if it did.

p.s. this is my first post. very happy to be here. t:

The only problem I have with this is that they were already in the middle of a crowded street. I don't think Optimus would land a punch like that knowing that he might injure other humans. Which is why I think Megatron has the upper hand and he even says so during the fight.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

I agree. If there were no humans around Optimus Prime would kick Megatron's ass.

Welcome to the Hype...and nice pick of Transformers as your first forum to post in. And I hope the hand thing ate that chicks face...that would be the only cool way to die.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

I'm sorry, but I'm getting sick of the nitpicking. I know this happens with every movie, but if you don't like it stop taking about it. Again, this isn't meant to be rude to anyone.

 

[Golgo-13]

Is it just me or did anyone else notice this too:

When BB was chasing Sam down the street on that pink bike, and Sam flips and lands on his ass in front of Mikaela, did anyone else see the glasses case fall out of his pocket? It was on screen right above his left shoulder. If he had the glasses on him, and didn't go home until after Prime and Co land, he should have had them on him, thus the house scene was irrelavant.
