    Plot hole. But Split Lip's explanation works for me.

    Why didn't the Primes just build the Harvester on another planet like Mercury or Venus? Or why not just use solar panels to harvest the sun's energy?

    energon must be a very specific kind of energy, because they can only harvest it by destroying a star. regardless of what planet it's on it will still destroy the sun. but the Fallen hated the humans so he said 'fuck it' and built one on Earth anyway.

    "Give me my matrix"

    No matter where it was built it would have destroyed life on earth. The machine collects the energy created after the destruction of a star.

    why build on another planet when you can use the prehistoric humans as hockey pucks on your down time?

    Oh, so because they found out there was life on one of the planets within the solar system the Primes had to select another star system, except "the Fallen" basically wasn't down with it. OK.

    The whole idea of the Fallen is so much like Lucifer (hell, just look at his name), you'd think the whole arrogance thing would be kind of obvious...

    The surprising thing would have been the Fallen NOT making that mistake. I pegged him as doomed to be so overconfident the moment he called Megatron "my apprentice". And it is such a classic error.
