Transformers: ROTF - Part 2

Continued from Transformers: ROTF - Part 1.

First, let's talk about my favorite Autobot - Bumblebee, Sam's faithful and courageous guardian Autobot, whom Sam called as "Bee."

Bumblebee was tearful (he wept!) when Sam told him that he's not bringing him (Bumblebee) with him to college. Awww... Bumblebee has such a sensitive "soul".

Now, let's take a look at how courageous Bumblebee could be.

Bumblebee fought Rampage, the Decepticon who brought over Sam's captured parents (from their getaway in France) in order to use them as bait to lure Sam from his hiding in the Egyptian desert.

At the same time, Bumblebee also fought Ravage, the one-eyed jaguar-like infiltrator Decepticon:

Well, both Rampage and Ravage died in TF2. So, we'll miss them in TF3 because they've RIP (rest in pieces). LOL!

******************************

Second, let's talk about my favorite Decepticon - Starscream, the coward. Remember how he fled from the final battle in TF1? At the end of TF2, he said this to Megatron, right after the bad Prime, The Fallen was killed by JetPrime (will explain later): "Master, not that I'm calling you a coward, but sometimes cowards do survive." Then, he fled again, this time with Megatron. Haha! Nice "entry" to TF3.

Here's Starscream, the F-22 Raptor covered with alien tattoos, quoting Sergeant Epps. In TF1, I remembered Starscream looked exactly like the rest of the US Air Force's F22-Raptors, thus being mistaken as one of them. I wonder how did he manage to get himself tattooed with Cybertronian symbols? LOL!

From left to right: Grindor, Megatron, Optimus Prime (mid-air), Sam, Starscream at the battle of the forest

Starscream is actually a tactical and cunning Decepticon. He fought with Optimus Prime in the forest WHEN Megatron and Grindor were around. He also chased after Sam while Megatron continued to battle against Optimus Prime after Grindor (the Decepticon that resembled Blackout, the helicopter in TF1) was killed by Optimus Prime. In that same scene, right before Grindor was killed, one of Starscream's arms was chopped off by Optimus Prime. He managed to reattach it back after retreating from the forest with Megatron.

Another interesting point, if you pay attention to the scene above, you'd see Starscream spitting at Sam.

Hmmm... Bumblebee wept, Starscream spat. Quoting Scott Farrar, TF1 & 2's visual effects supervisor, "...they [the robots] spit, they outgas, they sweat, they snort." Okay, so that's the explanation.

Proceed to Part 3.
