Starscream as an F-22 was definitely a highlight for me. And
Frenzy played the part of the transforming radio (I’m not sure why they didn’t use Soundwave instead.)
I knew long before the movie came out that the majority of vehicles were going to be GM products (
Jazz should definitely be a Porsche.) But it’s good PR for GM and I doubt if there is a sequel they’d be able to use only GM products. GM doesn’t have enough cars for the additional robots in a sequel – perhaps we’ll see more variety in the future.
It was a bit tough making out detail when the robots were fighting hand to hand, however, I thought the good far outweighed the shortcomings. I thought the film captured the power of our own military machines. Seeing
Blackout transform for the first time from an MH53 was great, and watching a C-130 gunship unload on the Scorpion was impressive as well.
It felt like Armageddon, however, the action sequences were on steroids. An absolute must for any action fan.
Besides, you get to watch a woman working under the hood. That’s something that never gets old.
