I just noticed this...

So, i was re-watching all the 3 movies and in the beginning of this one the guy sent by the US president is in a meeting with Optimus Prime talking about what the Decepticons want… And kept saying that "this is our world" "we know whats best" etc etc etc… After that Optimus says that "if your president want us to leave we will go"…

Ok… I accept that 99% of the times in those kind of movies, only the US is in threat, only the US needs to be saved, and only the US can fight the bad guys and win…

But really? Isn't that a bit too much? Deciding for all the human kind? What if lets say, Europe, or Russia or China want them to stay on earth? And since the guy sent by the US president was representing the human race, the "your president" is a bit too much.

This really reveals one of the things why lots of movies that have good potencial are more hated than loved in the rest of the world…

I watched the first two movies yesterday for the first time, and I thought the same in that scene. By the way, I'm from Spain.

Because 100% of the Americans (minus 2 or 3 guys) think that USA national border is actually the end of the world and all other continents are located in different universe...

The U.S president is the only one who officially knows about the Transformers.

Yet the team working with the autobots was a joint British and US operation so the prime minister would've known about the transformers

Somewhere in some other part of the world, whether in Europe, North Korea, Australia wherever, there is someone making decisions that involve the safety of the entire population and they are not including Americans in the discussion.

There's a rock song playing over the credits. It's not that the score isn't memorable.

The world in general was still not aware of the existence of the aliens; though how the battle at the end of the first movie was covered up is beyond me. Either way, the US Govt (Sector 7) was fully aware and once first contact was established and the kinks were worked out; an alliance was established.

It is very plausible that NEST (being a multi-nation agency/team) gets its orders from the president of the U.S. due to the fact that first contact, an alliance and NEST were established in the U.S. So if the president was to say "yes, we want you to leave and you are no longer a part of NEST" then it is only plausible that the Autobots would leave the planet. Not because the U.S. is making decisions for the world but because the U.S. is making decisions for itself that the world at large is not even aware of.
