I'm going to put an end to this once and for all
Transformers like Star Trek takes place in our world not some alternate reality, unless Star Trek is dealing with the mirror universe(alternate universe)
And it wouldn't of taken Jetfire forever to get accross the globe, he is the fastest plane ever built and could do atleast mach 3, and if megatron and starscream can get from Earth to Satrun and back again in no time at all then it is definatly possible. FYI it takes us 9 months to get to Mars so do the math
There are theories in physics (M Theory and String Theory) which state alternate/parallel universes might exist outside of our own. One theory even suggests there are an infinite number of universes with every possible outcome imaginable.
So, if we let our minds go a little bit, this Transformers movie universe could poosibly exist outside our universe.

I didn't look up the g-forces, but getting from the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center to Cairo, Egypt would take almost 10 hours going at mach 4. It may be safe for a robot to travel at higher speeds but I'm pretty sure a human shouldn't be going so fast for so long. This is assuming his engines were in a condition to fly more than a few miles.

Cant people just watch movie as is and stop picking out flaw every freaking time. Its a damn popcorn flick, its not supposed to have some great plot or accurate places.
In this movie there is no alternate universe or timeline!!!! Granted they can exist but in this movie no frigin way, there isn't even any reference to it. and if that is what people need to do to make this crappy movie work then go for it.
Granted a lot of movies out there you need to let your mind go when you see them which is fine, (example shoot em'up) but the mistakes and errors and the way this movie was put together with the mind numbing explosions after explosion made it bad.
Believe me my mind was let go when i went in and it still sucked.
I'm sorry but what did you mess up on?
Thanks for the laugh though when i read your post stating it would take 10hours to get there, i nearly fell out of my chair. Maybe in a hot air balloon
Even when the concord was flying it could leave at the same time from paris to boston and a 747 in boston going to paris the concord arrived in boston, fuled and took on passangers and flew back to paris and arrived 30min before the 747. so your 10 hours at mach 4 made me laugh

I read the mp/s as mp/h. Because I was being lazy and using google and it says in big letters "(mach 4) mph =" so I just looked at the number.
As a person who posts often at the comic book forum versus forum, I probably should have noticed it was off. Still, 2 hours is a lot of time and teleporting is way cooler than everyone flying everywhere. When both the Fallen and Jetfire did it to appear into battle both times I was like "OH ****, I FORGOT THEY COULD DO THAT! AWESOME"
Also, if that was "nearly fell out of my chair" funny I have this book of knock knock jokes you should read.

I just finished watching this movie. After hearing all of the negative reviews on the movie i have to say that i was quite impressed with the film. I really don't know why people are so hard on this flick. If you are or ever have been a fan of Transformers you should like, Revenge of the Fallen. It is essentially a live action cartoon. The story, spirit and characters were handled with more care in the sequel. Everything about the movie felt very close to it's source material.
All of the problems that i had with the first movie were addressed and changed for the sequel. I NEVER had a problem distinguishing which Autobot was on screen. All of the action sequences involving the Autobots were filmed on a much wider and clear scale. I did mix up the decepticons a few times because some of them were still very similar in color but that didnt matter at all because their the bad guys. You only need to be able to recognize the Autobots and Megatron.
I've heard people complaining that the movie is to long and that there are very little transformers in the movie. Whom ever says this was not watching the same movie i was. There are ALWAYS Transformers on screen. I think for the most part, this was a perfect sequel. I'm not saying it's a perfect movie, not by any means, but as far as sequels go it did everything right. The only real problem i had with the movie was the ending. I felt as though a few aspects of the story near the end of the movie were VERY VERY contrived, even for a summer blockbuster. The crap with Optimus and Sam was just goofy and cheap but hey, it's a transformers movie and i had great fun with the rest of the film, so i can look past that.
Do not go see this movie if you're expecting anything other than giant robots mashing the shit out of each other. Also, if you did go see this movie while hoping to see giant robots mashing the shit out of each other and was unsatisfied, tell me...,why, what more were you hoping for?

Flying through physical space costs a lot less energy than going through a portal that bends space and time. It's like walking instead of running as fast as you can...that's the whole point of using wormholes for FTL travel. In "linear" space, it would take more than an infinite amount of energy to travel faster than the speed of light.
Use up a shitload of energy to fly a long distance, or use a teleportation that obviously used less energy.
If it wasn't the lesser energy choice, why did he do it? And if he didn't care, as I pointed out before, that it used up more energy, then that is obviously to save as much time as possible because saving an entire planet with billions of organisms is better than a Transformer that will go back into shutdown mode because he ran out of energy again.
im with saddo all the way,, this movie was a piece of shitt!! bullet fire knocking around deceptacons. One blast from megatrons cannon should of been able to destroy that whole camp. what was with that mega mega transformer he had no purpose the testical joke was just lame. it had its perks i must admit but over all the movie was jackshitt! The idea of the Motor bike transformers was really ****ing awesome, didnt get the screen time they deserve. instead they gave it to 2 thug life wanna be autobots that were just idiots. The deceptacon that changes its mind and chooses to be an autobot (freakin crap attack). Should of just made Megatron as a school kid girl, No way near as powerful as he was in the first one, they changed him from evil to dikhead. The Fights were friggen shocking!! The very first fight were he splits the car in 2 was Awesome! but than somehow it all dissapeared. load of shhttt
