This is why Sam can reform the matrix, and why he was able to use the allspark to kill Megatron (as opposed to bring him back to life like it should have) similarly, the Allspark, Sparks and the Matrix (and possibly the Primes?) are all vessels of Spiral energy, however, they are limted in their capacity, which is why humans like Sam are so useful, they're living MacGuffins.

Consider Alice from ROTF, also known as the Pretender. According to the tie-in comic, that form was scanned from an animatronic Disney/{{Alice|InWonderland}} from a new (fictional) Disneyland attraction. So there is a precedent that Movieverse Transformers can take on Altmodes that at least LOOK Organic. Remember that Steven Speilberg is involved in this movie.

[[WMG: The two film series somehow merge together]]
The whole prequel/reboot dilemma with Bumblebee is quite confusing. But when this troper heard that Hasbro/Paramount is gonna make another movie that ignores Michael Bay's movies and uses BB as a launching pad, he came up with an idea. What if it's a multiverse deal, and the events of Bumblebee occurred when the two universes somehow spliced together? In that movie, Bumblebee came to Earth, met Charlie Watson, and scanned a Camaro for his alternate mode. Right after, the two universes split off again, and in the Bayverse, Bumblebee went off to find the Allspark while the other Bumblebee went to do...whatever he does in the upcoming movie.

The Autobots & humans now possess the Matrix, which, [[spoiler:as demonstrated on Optimus, can bring deceased Transformers back to life]]. Furthermore, [[spoiler:when Jetfire ripped his Spark out of his own chest, it looks like it remained intact. The Autobots could concievably(sp?) grab his Spark, keep it on "life-support", and pull out another SR-71 out of human storage, or just find him a new altmode, and then use the Matrix's power - and Ratchet's skills - to change the vehicle into a new body for him and then implant his Spark in it]]. Plus, Jetfire was so [[BadassGrandpa awesome]] that there's no way he won't gain a respectable fan following, which would be incentive to bring him back for Film 3. (Then again, this might all just be wishful thinking on this Jetfire fan's part)

[[WMG: Each Movie after the first one is part of Optimus Prime's Main/DyingDream.]]
In fact, Sam listed to Optimus and pushed Allspark into his chest, killing him in the process. But before Prime died, he went to stasis and had a dream about his future potential adventures. This is why after Mission City, everything revolves around him. Why Optimus Prime can beat (almost) anyone so easily, and why everything is great for him in the end. It's because Prime's cautiousness created him a world where he would love to live.

Isn't that what happened to ''TheEmpireStrikesBack'', which received similar mixed reviews upon release? Anyway, audience reaction for ''DOTM'' seems to be much more favorable compared to critics' reaction than for ''ROTF'' - while most people who enjoyed ''ROTF'' admitted that they just wanted to watch 2 hours of explosions, many people are outright ''praising'' ''DOTM''. Now, the movie has enough flaws so that it'll never be respected on ''ESB'''s level, but 20 years from now ''DOTM'' will probably be remembered as an overall good movie and maybe even a "pseudo-classic" similar to the ''Film/{{Predator}}'' movies.

[[WMG: Alice wasn't actually a Decepticon]]
Nothing presented in the movie actually depicts her as a Decepticon, she has no symbol, and doesn't really seem to fit with their other motives when it comes to chasing Sam. Previously, they tended to be more overt in their attempts to get his knowledge, it's very possible that Alice was simply a third party trying to gain the information from Sam.

[[WMG: Soundwave was an Autobot who defected to the Decepticons]]
In this universe, the two different factions are shown to look different, take a look at the [[https://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/transformers/images/1/1c/Mov-protoform-autobot-1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120227133716 Autobot Protoforms]] and [[https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/transformers/images/6/62/Mov-protoform-decepticon-1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120306022532 the Decepticon Protoforms]]. Now, take a look at [[https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/transformers/images/b/b3/Dotm-soundwave%26laserbeak-film-africa.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20111003134004 Soundwave]]. He resembles an Autobot far more than a Decepticon, and (correct me if I'm wrong) but I don't believe we ever see a Decepticon symbol on him. In fact, we only ever see an ''Autobot'' symbol on his minion, Laserbeak.

Somebody will point out early on how offensive they are, & it'll become a running gag that everytime we see them they're trying out new voices, with different riddiculous accents. Good way to throw in {{Shout Out}}s to all the other silly accents that have been used over the years ([[Anime/TransformersCybertron Mudflap]], [[TransformersAnimated Blitzwing]], etc.), complete with the original voice actors in cameo roles.

* Maybe him winning the 2016 Election wasn't due to Russian hackers, but Decepticon hackers. Megatron would at least see the value in having one of his human puppets as President. Perhaps this is why Cemetery Wind was able to hunt down Autobots easily; Trump was in on Megatron manipulating them into building him a new body and army, thus Cemetery Wind mopping up the remaining Autobots and Decepticons (who Megatron would likely view as cowards for fleeing the battle of Chicago) was all part of the plan.

* The new lore presented on the official app for Film/TransformersTheLastKnight (and presumably the new official lore going forward) confirms this interpretation; with Optimus (then known as Orion Pax) and Megatron working together "like brothers" to try and change Cybertron for the better before their inevitable schism.

Think about it from everything we've seen, the Allspark can imbue electronic/mechanical devices with Sparks, but where does the devices come from. History shows us that all mechanical devices are made by organic creatures, so some organic race must have lived on Cybertron at some point to make those first devices for the Allspark to make into Transformers.
