#2: Of course we did! This is GM's advertisemen- I mean MOVIE, and they paid for everything, so the entire movie, instead of being a movie about transformers, will basically be about GM products instead. This is exactly while I'll never pay to see it. Think the chase in the Matrix Reloaded, only 2 hours long.

You actually think that this is GM's movie? That's so funny that it's sad. By the same logic, it's also the US Army's movie, because their equipment makes up the bulk of the other vehicles.
I'm not saying there isn't heaps of product placement, but, right, GM decided they wanted to make a movie, so they bought the rights to the Transformers franchise to make a movie.
And the fact that Hasbro/Takara have been licensing vehicle designs for at least 8 years, and a Transformers movie has been rumored for at least 3, doesn't factor into it at all. If it wasn't GM, it would be Ford or Toyota or Chrysler or someone else, because the movie came first, the vendor came second.
