    I thought I read somewhere that Megatron's alt mode is described as a "Cybertron Interstellar Jet"

    Interstellar meaning "Between or among the stars"

    Megatron speaking?

    one big question... how did Megatron learn to speak English? Prime said the Autobots learned the language from the world wide web. If so, then how could Megatron know Earth's language after all those years of being frozen?

    Guess that's the reverse engineering from studying Megatron. LOL.

    I like the idea that he was concious despite being frozen, so he had a long time to pick up the language by listening to people. It also makes him saying "I am Megatron!" when he gets free make more sense, since he had to listen to the S7 guys keep calling him NBE1.

    Also, he probably had some time to pick up English between the time he was awakened by Sam's grandfather and refrozen.

    WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD:


    True, or Bonecrusher or other Decepticon instantly downloaded all updated information to him after he woke up. Who knows it might have even been apart of the virus Frenzy started that took down ALL communications. The comics aren't that hard to come by. I found the tradepaperback for all 4 comics plus some added material (prototype stuff) at Target for like $12, which would be the equivalent of buying all 4 comics, but hey, it's a trade paperback! Just this week. Just remember, I found it NEAR the books between where they keep books and DVDs. My Target had a whole section endcap of all sort of Transformer Movie related stuff. The TBs, simplified movie book, coloring book, sticker books...

    But yes, in the comic they did mention that Prime and Megatron are supposedly 'brothers'. Has anyone other than me realize they used the Underbase from the original comics for the new movie story?

    Hadn't thought about it while watching the movie, but there are some similiarities. I would say it's more of a mix between the Matrix and the Underbase, though.
