Transformers 3 massive plothole

[The USOT]

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?
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 -_-

I imagine only the head honchos knew about his deception, which is why his ship was targeted [by the grunts].

But just remember: Michael Bay is a Nazi, so stop poking holes in his plotless movies. It's about the explosions, the boobs, and the action, dammit.

That's an insult to Nazi's everywhere.

And the sweet, sweet commercial endorsements.

Did you really expect Tolkien-quality storytelling in a movie based on action-figures?

Not defending transformers 3 but goddamn, the whole film is silly, it's like complaining that TMNT did a poor job of depicting martial arts.

[North Wiedna]

It was probably to keep the jig up. Autobots would have known if they just let it fly away, the Decepticons probably just overdid it.

[Strykla]

I didn't expect much in the way of plot from this film(Though I was completely wrong), and I wouldn't have cared anyway. I also have no idea what you're talking about.

To quote a a great philosopher, "It's about the explosions, the boobs, and the action, dammit."

I Also love how every movie of the Trio has that Perfect "Hollywood" Lighting and not a Single Overcasted Day or Rain atall.

That for some reason Ticks me off the Most.

You're complaining about the plot in a Transformers movie? What next? Are you going to complain about the character development in a car commercial?

[The Rich Port]

You could fly a Star Destroyer through that plothole.

[Lord Tothe]

You mean the massive plot hole where anyone cares about Shia LeBouf(sp?)? Or the one with the robots that turn into cars?

Car commercials don't usually have $195 million dollar budgets.

IT'd be epic to see one that does.

Car commercials don't usually have $195 million dollar budgets.

And they typically have better plotlines.

Sonny, there were a lot bigger plot holes in that movie than that.

For example, why was Megatron so focused on killing Optimus in the first two films and getting the Allspark if he had this secret plan all along. I shall repeat the wisdom of earlier posters.

You don't watch a Michael Bay film for a Nolan level plot. You watch for the awesome action scenes.

Micheal Bay and James Cameron annoy me...

The only thing from their movies I like are the hawt actresses and the fairly awesome Scorpion gunships and transports from Avatar.

Yeah, I was fairly impressed by the new actress that probably also impressed half of the people that just go to the movie to see the hot sidekick. I would rather have her than Fox.

The Gunships were cookie cutter, They're no unique, brosive.

Starship troopers.

You want to know the reason? Because you're anal.
