Transformers 2 aka T2:ROFL!

There were three Decepticons in that fight. The other two were Starscream and Blackout.

I already bought about $100 of toys from this movie, and now I want to get rid of them. I feel psychologically abused. It's as though it was custom-tailored to deeply offend the fans while enrapturing the stupidest possible people imaginable. You know, because complete goddamn idiots are an under-served demographic.

By the way, thread starter: the acronym is ROTF. What does yours spell? Revenge Of the Fa Llen? Did you get confused and think it was time to ROTFLMAO?

lol i seriously could not tell who else was there

I freaking thought that the one on the satellite (soundwave?) was megatron at first cause they look the same. lol

a lot of times when the robots are...doing anything (and this also goes for the first movie) I get confused just looking at them cause they are so complex looking. im like ok what am i lookin at...oh the camera just had a seizure now im looking at something else. whatever
 
I'm the kind of Transformers fan for whom they are toys, first and foremost. I buy all the biggest toys, which tend to be depictions of the important characters, and I savor every little hinge and gear, inside and out. They tend to be masterpieces of modern mechanical engineering. I challenge anyone to transform the currently available $50 version of Optimus Prime into a truck in under an hour without looking at the instructions. So, I can identify most of the Transformers in the movies very easily, those two in particular.

Starscream is Megatron's frequently traitorous (in other stories) second-in-command who is never depicted as transforming into anything but a military fighter jet, though now he's covered in Cybertronian markings for some random reason that I hear is explained in some comic book tie-in they did. As a robot, his movie version is easily recognizable in the movies as uniquely broad, flat and semi-birdlike.

Blackout has no personality to speak of, but cut an imposing frame in the first movie as the first Decepticon we saw. He was the mysterious helicopter who landed at that military base and started blasting shockwaves everywhere, looking for some kind of computer core. He carried Scorponok, who menaced the army heroes in the desert, and had some good screen time in the city battle. In this movie, Blackout seems to hang out with Megatron and Starscream a lot, whenever they need a third guy to make them seem like a medium-sized group. He's there at that stupid interrogation scene with doctor walking pair of glasses.

The overly epic battle scene at the end is populated with lots of completely unidentifiable cannon fodder. Approximately a dozen total nobodies.

opps! I had 3 hours of sleep. I watched the midnight showing. Ahwell. See what other people come up with. haha. ROTFLMAO! har har har
 
Well I could tell who starscream was in the movie just didn't realize it was him in that one scene I guess haha. He was my favorite character back on the old cartoon. I liked his whiny, rebellious attitude.

also...what does megatron even transform into in these newer movies? some kinda space truck? whatever happened to turning into a gun?
