That's not a goddamn plothole! I get so fucking tired of people tossing this term around while obviously not knowing what it means. An absence of information does not a plothole make. In order to be a plothole, there has to be an absence of justification for something that, in the context of the story, contradicts both past events or statements and any reasonable logic.
If the twins had been torn in half and ground into spare parts by Devastator, only to appear after the battle celebrating with everyone, THAT would be a plothole. They were obviously dead, then appeared alive again with no explanation at all. What you're talking about is either poor writing or poor editing, depending on who dropped the ball on all the disappearing characters (I have a sneaking suspicion it was Bay's doing, but don't quote me on that). They fought with Devastator, Devastator decided to stop fucking around and attack the pyramid, and they just didn't do anything on camera after that.

I mean Hell, what were they supposed to do, anyway? The fact that they even tried to fight an enemy that was literally ten times their size was going above and beyond the call of duty. If I were them, I'd have gotten on my knees and thanked Primus when Devastator decided I wasn't worth smashing, then gone and chilled by the beach while the Fallen was busy giving Prime his face.
