Maybe Optimus killed them all for knowing too much about Cybertronian stuff.

You mean the government killed them for knowing about the Autobots and would stand up/rally for their well being if they were alive. We all saw how they acted at the farm they are dicks even to their own kind to take this serect.

If the Bayverse has abandoned the Witwicky story arc then its a shame. It leads into a whole binary bonding headmaster arc that is fantastic. Can the Bayverse incorporate that?

This is what I assumed.

It could also be alive and in hiding.

I hadn't thought of it, but this is sadly the most probable thing that happened.

Frasier was so evil he woulda done that without missing a heartbeat.

Nope and absolutely irrelevant to the story. Lockdown wouldn't have cared or helped anyway.

Nope again and also irrelevant. He wouldn't have cared or helped either.

Given Lockdown is shown to be an experienced bounty hunter I imagine he has a basic understanding of accessing alien intelligence networks and a good read on the psychology of alien races. He finds someone with enough authority to aid in his mission, contacts them through those same networks and then offers them something valuable to assist him. Frasier was clearly just looking to get paid and it is pretty easy to imagine he was happily bought off. That being said, I wish the movie had dealt with scenes like that instead of dumb scenes about dating underage women or direct euphemisms for skill at handjobs.

Ironically the plot of transfourmers was extremely dark and if it wasn't a summer blockbuster it could have been a really psychological film. But I suppose that is sort of like planting a field of wishes, etc.
