Anyway, for Transformers 2, other transformers will start coming out of the woodwork (Hasbro gets to make more toys with more transformers). Prime will return, for sure. You heard it here first.

Spoiler:

Autobot Body Count:
* Jazz
* Bumblebee's legs (presumably reattached by Ratchet)

Decepticon Body Count:
* Blackout - Dead
* Scorponok - Escaped into the desert sand. Injured
* Frenzy - Decapitated. Quite possibly dead
* Barricade - Disappeared right before Bonecrusher tackled Prime. He was supposed to die after Bonecrusher, but they cut the scene, instead having him seen just starting to exit the highway. Maybe they just wanted to show him chickening out at the sight of Prime and lying low.
* Bonecrusher - Decapitated and dead.
* BRAWL (despite Hasbro's self-confessed editing room mistake of "Devastator") - Completely an utterly owned. Dead.
* Starscream - Runned away
* Megatron - ?Dead. Dumped in the sea (I put a question mark before dead, because the Allspark didn't seem to be completely destroyed, and they may use it in a sequel by having what remains of it fuse with his spark and bring him back even stronger and more powerful, or something like that)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh and lets not forget about the new decepticons gained: the pop machine, the SUV, and the Xbox360 (at least I think it was).

I came across this info either on the newsblog or forum of the Michael Bay website, or more probably on donmurphy.net/board. I can't nail down the specific thread unfortunately, as it has been a while since I read it, and the thread has since been buried. However, I know that the information came either from Robert Orci (one of the script writers who has been very interactive on DM.net) or Nelson/Iceforest (the administrator of the Michael Bay website who, when not belittling people, occasionally provides information/news)

I've heard that, aside from the leaked script, the original sequence of events may also appear in either the novelization or the comic adaptation. However, I can't confirm this, as I have only looked through the leaked script (... after I saw the movie though, for spoiler-reduction )

As for the MountainDew machine, SUV, and Xbox360, I'm not sure if any official statements has been made about them. I guess the audience is just meant to assume that they were dealt with by the military or killed during the fight. Robert Orci DID mention (in answer to a question about why they were all default evil) that they were essentially soulless entities who behaved much like animals rather than truly intelligent creatures.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
