    SENTINEL PRIME
    He was a grand film villain, one of the best seen so far. He was excellently shaded in the style of Khan Noonien Singh: a villain who actively seeks to do what he believes is right, even if he must turn on his own allies to achieve his goal; he knows it is wrong, but looking at the big picture it is a sacrifice he is prepared to make. Also his turn to darkness when he dashes Megatron’s head in and proclaims Earth is HIS to rule is, though not unexpected, great to watch.


    MEGATRON
    Even though he only appeared at crucial moments in the film, those moments were awesome to see. His megalomaniac antics of commanding elephants to bow to him, using the Lincoln Memorial, and especially his scene with Carly who bruises his ego (“Sentinel’s bleep” AARRGH!) was freaking awesome. Although he was now more or less a M.Bison-esque villain and not so much a threat as the previous films, it did give him time to show off personality.

    I also liked the tarpaulin he wore (the truck is a mixed matter, I mean from a tank to a truck?) .


    BRAINS
    He is perhaps the closest we’ll get to a live-action Blaster, with his laptop mode and his. It’s a shame such a mode couldn’t be taken more seriously (have it open up like Tony Stark’s suitcase armour) and/or that he couldn’t actually BE Blaster.


    THE HIGHWAY BATTLE – THE MEXICAN STANDOFF.
    Transformers Highway battle - YouTube

    Nuff said.


    THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL
    It wasn’t the invasion so much as the participants at the Memorial: Megatron sits on Lincoln’s chair watching the slag hit the fan, while Optimus and Sentinel struggle and debate Sentinel’s betrayal.


    THE WRECKERS
    A trio of engineer rednecks who can transform into custom racing cars? Awesome.


    Anyone else?

    I liked the film. I thought it was a good follow up to Revenge of the Fallen. I actually enjoyed watching it in the theatre. I didn't enjoy ROTF the first time I watched it.

    The prologue on Cybertron

    Action scenes

    Sentinel and Optimus’ relationship

    The actual plot was quite good and intriguing. It was just needlessly over-complicated

    Besides the parents, everything. Seeing the Autobots roll around in vehicle mode, Prime with a trailer. I was in love at the IMAX.

    There was quite a few parts I enjoyed and personally, it's my favorite of the three. Of course, I do have my share of gripes though.

    Shockwave. His design kicked ass and he was amazing.

    Sentinel Prime: How could you not like him?

    The Dreads: Predator Transformers? Yes please

    The Wreckers: Irish bastards that rip people to pieces. Yes.

    Agreed. I regret the fact I didn't get Top Spin at Walmart when I had the chance.

    Soundwave had an excellent design (even though he never got a toy that did it justice) and so did Shockwave (though an alt mode would have been nice), and Megatron had his most refreshing, original design since Armada.
