How do you think Sentinel decided who got to keep their t-cogs and who didn't?

My favorite scene is between either when Orion offlines and we see the inside of Cybertron shifting to let him into the core and for him to receive the matrix or when we see the battle of Sentinel betraying the rest of the primes, I also enjoyed D-16 standing up and refusing to kneel for Sentinel.

For me, seeing the insides of the planet shift, etc, was in and of itself a GORGEOUS scene, and I enjoyed just how it drove home that he was chosen to be the next prime, sort of highlighting his sacrifice of himself at the cost of others.

The betrayal of Sentinel to the rest of the Primes was a twist I didn't see coming either, and that was another beautifully done scene. I think I also enjoyed this scene as much as I did bc it shows this verses take on the primes, what they look like etc. I'm nonbinary and yanked my name from Solus Prime, but I think that was a given, so I'm already predisposed ig to liking things that involve the primes.

And then the scene with D-16 was also a cinematic masterpiece, and with everything that went on in this scene it was a story treasure trove, and fed into his origin of becoming Megatron so much more instead of him just being oh "bad guy bc fuck the government". My FAVORITE part of this scene specifically was how the sticker of all things from the start of the movie played such a huge role in how the decetpicon symbol came to be, and how it also played into him choosing Megatron as his new "name".

I saw Prowl and Bluestreak that I could identify in the background. So definitely those two. The first half of the movie was my husband and I getting excited and pointing out who all we could identify to each other.

I think at one point during test showings there were rumors the movie was another hour longer, and I WISH it would've been another hour longer. The ending was so rushed, it made me feel cheated out of more story, and left me unsatisfied with how it ended. I get why that hour was cut, but still.

I also wanted more building of the rest of the bots, but I know and hope that'll come in the next movie. I know they had to build the story and background of the characters to lead into the great war, too, but I was hoping for more.
