Some kind of jet plane, but not a man-made one.
Roark, you trickster.
At least I hope that was a joke...

To be honest, I was most annoyed by the pointless little characters. Like the female english hacker, the black hacker guy, john turturro's cop character, etc. Most of them weren't funny and just stole from the transformers. The pacing needed some work, too. Like the scene where the kid had to go in his room and try to find the glasses while keeping the maximals err I mean the autobots (I was a big beast wars fan a kid
) from his parents. The scene just dragged on and ON. The pacing was all wrong. Michael Bay's fault, horrible director (citations being A: Pearl Harbor B:Armageddon C: Bad Boys II) The story was pretty weak, but as Kashim said it's more of a variation, not a true movie adaption.
There were some strong points in the movie though, like of course the special effects, derr. The great Optimus vs Megatron relationship, though I wish Megatron had some more lines, he's always been my favorite tyrannical bad guy.
If there is a sequel I want to see some sort of Beast Wars incarnation
*hopes*

Just as a point of interest regarding the (few) Thundercats-related replies, there IS a Thundercats movie planned.
Not sure if it's animated or live action, though the latter would probably turn out more cheesy than enjoyable.

Wasn't annoyed by the transformers, could never get enough of them. It was the human acting that was getting on my nerves. *shrug* It was just all so blaize and michael bayish.
I guess I benefited then from not seeing any of his other movies.
If anyone finds a screen shot of the scene we are talking about, please post the link. I can't find one *frown*
*edit: Also, I went into the movie remembering the "acting" and "charachters" from the cartoons, so even if they just said hi, it would have had plenty of depth for me
Though I must admit, I was annoyed that the made the transformers so public. I seem to remember the cartoons having all the fights in the desert, and the military was rarely if never involved.
