Can someone explain some of the plot points of the new Transformers movie to me?

1. Is Megatron going to be an active character in the movie -- or is he just frozen in the ice -- and if so, does he transform into a gun?

2. Will Optimus Prime have a trailer that just dissapears when he wants it to (like in the cartoon)?

3. How do these alien robots take the forms of human machines? Do they come down here and rebuild themselves into helicopters/cars/whatevers?

Maybe some of you know something, or maybe these questions can spark some conversation. I have tons of more questions, but these are the basic ones. I am deathly afraid that with making this a serious action movie, the premise will fall beyond the realm of suspension of disbelief and squarely in the middle of camp-ville.

Update:

I apologize. Apparently I need to add some details for some of you. I'll address droopydog's comments first.

Ahem, you're a fucing moron. Did you not read my questions? Do you not understand what I am asking, or are you too much of a damn idiot to answer a question? Oh, I get it, you thought it would be cute to insult me for asking questions about an upcoming movie in the "movie" section and get yourself two points. No shitt it's not "Citizen Cane" Sherlock. But thanks again for your thoroughly informative answer. Peace be with you.

Update 2:

And same to you rickdarkone. Also, I'm neither. I was a big fan of the cartoon as a child, and thought the concept may be interesting. I don't really believe that it's a kid's movie -- seeing as how it looks very dark and violent -- and would definitely not take my children to go see it. I was simply asking a question of people who may have had something worthy to contribute.

But again, thank you very much for being a douche. I'm sure you're "Top Contributor" status is not a fluke, judging by the endless assistance you've provided me here today.

    what's wrong with being under 20 or over 35? are there really only 16 good years? I would think that under 20 and over 35 is where the good stuff is.

    this is what imdb says...

    In the Arctic Circle during the 1800s, Captain Archibald Witwicky falls into an abyss and lands on a robotic hand partially buried in the ice. He finds the eyes of Decepticon leader Megatron staring back at him, who burns a map showing the location of the life giving Allspark into Witwicky's eyeglasses. These are handed down to his descendant, Sam, in the present day.Elsewhere, Decepticon Blackout attacks a United States Air Force base in Qatar in the present day, grabbing and absorbing information from a computer whilst he destroys the base and deploys Scorponok. Scorponok chases Captain Lennox and his Special Ops team in the desert and in a village. Lennox then makes a phone call to The Pentagon, who send a jet to fight off the Decepticon. Sam Witwicky buys his first car, which happens to be the Autobot Bumblebee. Bumblebee helps Sam to gain Mikaela as his girlfriend. The Autobots come looking for Archibald's glasses, whilst hiding in Sam's yard, and the nefarious Sector 7 comes to invade Sam's house. The film eventually concludes with a battle that begins at the Hoover Dam and concludes in Los Angeles as Autobot leader Optimus Prime and Megatron

    Let me guess you are under 20 or over 35 and still live at home.

    How much of a plot point do you want lame trucks and cars

    turn into lame robots.

    you said.

    "the premise will fall beyond the realm of suspension of disbelief and squarely in the middle of camp-ville."

    what more do you expect it is a kids movie. What do you want it to be?

    First let me say that I'm surprised that a transformers movie HAS plot points, second I'm amazed that anyone would need to have them explained to them.

    We aint talking about "Citizen Kane" here .
