questions on the story in "Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen"?

I love the transformers movies, so im not flaming them. they are awesome in the fact that they make transformers look like i imagined they did, when i was 5. even so, there are a few huge plot holes in this movie that I cant get over. holes that are bigger than the standard holes in a big on budget low on story blockbuster. Can anyone help answer them for me, and perhaps explain them off? 1. How did the Decepticons have the foresight to enroll the chick decepticon in sams college, seeing that sam only got his allspark powers on the morning of college? i mean, with that foresight they must have known he had a spark shard all along. why didnt they just attack him for it at his house? 2. why didnt sam use the spark shard to bring Optimus back to life, instead of using it to wake up Jetfire? 3. If the allspark killed Megatron, how can it also bring him back to life? 4. Why did the primes of old destroy the matrix, knowing it would bring the demise of their race? couldnt they just destroy the fallen and carry on as normal? 5. why can only a prime kill the fallen? it doesnt make sense? is it because the fallen is also a prime? in that case, megatron shouldnt have been able to kill optimus, as megatron is not a prime... 6. why does Optimus need Jetfires parts to be able to fly? hes a transformer after all, cant he just transform into a jet? I mean he hadnt saw a truck before he came to earth but he easily changed into one. couldnt he just as easily change into a jet? Im thinking there are answers to these questions but the move was not great at conveying this as it had too much action to show.

1. 1. im pretty sure the college scenes existed for laughs primarily and the producers decided against having the deceptacons just attack sam so they could approach it more creatively and delay the climax

   2. sam did not have access to optimus' body and he needed to find an elder at the time

   3. the allspark is supposed to be some all powerful device, the creator and the destructor at the same time. most likely for simplicity.

   4. meh

   5. i just assumed the prime was an extremely good fighter who can easily crush anyone except the extra strong elders

   6. for some reason, the producers of the film have decided to limit the transformers to just vehicles. personally, i think its for two reasons-- the tv show was based on cars, and its a marketing ploy, so they can get paid to show off chevy cars



2. I can answer all of your questions at once: bad writing. There are a lot of plot holes in the Trans 2 that don't make sense because of sloppy writing on Kruger and Orci's part.
