I might add however that it might benefit the movie in terms of structure and plot if you perhaps recut the movie to the whole theme that Steven Spielberg *or was that Bay...* constantly said during pre production and that is "About a boy and his car".
I felt the movie kinda lost that when you had the other plots *military, hacker, etc* thrown in.
One idea I had in mind when cutting was trimming out most of the Blackout attack on the base. Where I would have cut was after the shockwave after his inital transformation, black and cut back to Sam at school. I reasoned if I did that, I pretty much cut out most of the military stuff because we wouldn't have to see Scorponok detached from Blackout and therefore cut out Scorponok attack on those troops later on. I imagine it might have been difficult to cut out the credit card stuff so with this you get rid of the scene altogether. Also this way keeps the attack mostly a mystery. We wouldn't really know what the Decepticons were after until later on.
You could also cut out most of the Bernic Mac stuff. An example would be when Sam or his dad *I forget which* ask how much the car is you can go straight into Mac saying "4000".
But yes, these are my two cent. I'll post more suggestions if I think of any.
