Is it just me, or is the Transformers plot just plain retarded?

You noob. I've never seen any of the comics and I know that they only look like "human vehicles" because they model themselves after what they see.
Remember when bumble bee transformed from the old camaro to the new ONLY after the new camaro went driving by?

Yea, because clearly movies like Spiderman and Star Wars are 1000 other movies are all entirely possible in real life? Hell, 90% of movies have some amount of crap that never happens in real life. I admit that the premise is obviously a very silly one, but thats because its a freaking kids cartoon\comic and what sounds cool to an 8 yr old is a little different than a 25 yr old, so deal with it.

Because if movies were all true to life, plots would go like this:
At first, Laurie couldn't decide which kind of tea she wanted. The chamomile, which used to be her favorite for lazy evenings at home, now reminded her too much of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he liked chamomile. But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind off Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about him too much her asthma started acting up again. So chamomile was out of the question.

EXACTLY! For some reason people let 'em get away with a stupid plot that's aimed at 8 year olds (hey i watched the cartoons as kid too), yet market it for all audience. All the other cartoon movies were at least somewhat re-though and re-aimed at the target audience.
Megatron, supertron, hypertron, cybertron, ultratron... common now.
OP, you're an idiot.
The movie Transformers did an excellent job at transforming a 20 year old comic series into a live action movie.
The issue of plausibility is addressed by making the movie into a comedy.
For example:
"Gee, Megatron, where did you guys learn that?"
"The world wide web."
If you want to complain about Transformers, talk about the ridiculous camera angles in the fight scenes; I couldn't tell what was going on. Complaining about the plot is "just plain retarded."
If you want to complain about the plot of a science fiction movie, take a look at any movie involving time travel.

I, for one, welcome our new giant transforming alien robot overlords.
They can't be any worse than the ones we already have.
