Transformers 3 massive plothole

[Frisivisia]

Maybe the Decepticons that fired him didn't know and other Decepticons did? Transformers alright, Transformers 2 very good, Transformers 3= I can see why Michael Bay left Unicron out...because he would've ate the Michael Bay, the script and the entire film because of how shit it was.

WHAAAT?

Transformers 2 was a utter piece of dog-shit. I wouldn't subject Saddam Hussein to watching that bull.

It was blatantly racist and stereotypical, had awful action scenes, and had a storyline that I wouldn't dignify the computer data to being wasted on.

You know Reagan, for once I agree with you.

It's about the explosions, the boobs, and the action, dammit.

What's wrong with any of those?

It should be obvious that this thread is going to contain a spoiler, but just in case...

So I watched it today, and noticed something which kinda ruined the plot of the entire film.
The sentinal prime (or w.e. his name is) that is able to activate the space bridges was, as im sure youve realised, double crossing the Auto-bots. Part of this trick was to have Optimus Prime discover and then resurrect him because he had died thanks to Decepticon missiles.

But HANG on a second. If he was double crossing the auto-bots, and the decepticons knew this, why on earth would they have fired missiles at him in the first place?

Simple, if you listened while Megatron was detroneing lincoln... only Megatron knew that Sentinel Prime was defecting and he was stuck on Earth.

Had they not, Sentinel Prime would have travelled to earth, (this being years in the past before the rest of the auto-bots got there, removing 100% of all effective opposition), got their slave force easily and not have had a single issue in rebuilding the transformer homeworld. Its not as if that was the harder option, its the equivelant of the American government stabbing the crew of the Manhattan project because they wanted them to make the nuclear bomb...

Did I miss something significant in the film? Or is this a case of a major plothole just for the sake of justifying random explosions.

Also I appologoise if this is slightly unreadable. I have had a wee bit to drink AND my keyboard is playing up -_-

Transformers 3 just seemed like a film dedicated to massive robots that blow up cities and explosions and cars and BOOOOOOOOBS... *cough* sorry - got carried away.
