Looking back at the biggest plothole of Transformers 2007


Phil Abatecola had it right-on in his July 4, 2007 review of Transformers:

For instance… why does ice and sub zero temperatures immobilize highly advanced, super intelligent robots when they can fly in space? The temperature of deep space is nearly absolute zero!

What about magnetic fields or super strong metal cables and nets? What about a cool foam that solidifies into some kind of metal cement or an unknown, unexplained containment field that the US Military has been developing for years based off the technology that we’ve discovered by studying the ancient Megatron – leader of the evil Transformers, the Decepticons – that was found 80 years ago, disabled in the arctic ice? (This is in the movie by the way. Reverse engineering, blah blah BLAH!)

This plothole sends an already super-shaky movie off into the realm of incoherence, leaving it a ruined, contradictory, pile of crap.
