    It´s not really that hard. In a fan fiction I was writting, I said the Autobots and the Decepticons were some sort of expiremental military weapons that had went beserk.

    well its conceivable that some whack job cults or survivalist would start spouting off on how the Autobots are slowly taking over the world even though they only protecting it from the Decepticons, and i get a feeling prime would like nothing better than the Decepticons destroyed once and for all and Autobots to live openly on earth and cooperating to build a peaceful united civilization and i agree on Prime's stance on the weapons we already have enough fire power to turn our world into another cybertron with out the need for Cybertronian weapons

    and Prime had epic self control to not squish that dick even though he deserved it

    In my opinion, Optimus was wise to withhold technology from the humans. If you're watched any alternate reality shows or played any games of that sort before, you know how easily humans abuse technology.

    Galloway was somewhat right in that the Cybertronians were no better off in that they destroyed their planet but in that way he is insinuating that humans should do the same to Earth! Optimus wanted to prevent human endangerment so as not to make a repeat incident of the Cybertronian War.

    I've actually thought about this a little. Here's what I think. The Railgun was reverse-engineered from Megatron who seems to be the most powerful Transformer.

    Therefore, any weapon reverse-engineered from him is bound to be powerful.

    Ironically, that's the same cover-up story that they gave in the Movie novels...

    that makes a lot of sense and it also explains why Simmons knew about it, which is something that has been bugging me as if it had been a dept. of defense only project and highly top secret how would have Simmons known about it

    I think whatever cover up story is used is going to seem weak to us. It'll kinda work as an idea but still end up feeling unconvincing. But then that's because we know it's false. If we didn't know that and the other option to what we were told was it's giant living alien robots, then I think we'd believe what we were told, or that it was something else, but not giant living alien robots. Because that would be stupid.
    Did they shoot it in the balls? :p

    I could crush a hamster in one hand, but if it was inside my head, I can imagine that it could do quite a bit of damage.

    By the way, anybody know how to get a hamster out of your head? Totally unrelated. I tried putting sunflower seeds in my ear, but it just takes them back into my brain.

    They should exploit that in the next flim. If the autobots have alliances with humans .. why can't the decepticons have alliances with humans too.

    After all, there are evil people in the world too.
