Yes, Isabel Lucas is way hotter than Meagan Fox for reasons far beyond her thumbs. 
Hey, what did you expect? Nolan quality IMAX usage? It's Bay.
But I am shocked that the giant Decepticon from the opening of the movie was not used as the first IMAX sequence. He was so huge it would have been a no brainer.

^ yeah the opening battle with Decepticon crashing through the highways should have looked massive in all it's IMAX goodness, instead it was 2.35:1 aspect ratio - what a major letdown and missed opportunity.

Speaking of that opening battle, what was the deal with the soundmix? When the Decepticon was rolling on the highway and trashing all those cars, the LFE was anemic. However the accompanying score had deep pounding bass. I don't believe the rest of the movie was like that because it was the only scene that weirded me out like that.

I adore Megan Fox and rarely ever like blondes but Isabel Lucas was something special and is definitely way hotter than Megan Fox.

One thing I just thought of and now kind of bothers me, how come Bumblebee could not detect that chick was a decepticon when she was inside of him, but that little RC truck could sniff out Jetfire?

- or -
Because Wheelie (being a leg-humper) is closer to a dog and therefore could sniff out enemies while Bumblebee could not.
- or -
Because you've put more thought into the script than anyone involved in production did.

Obviously because the chick was designed to blend in with humans and therefore not be as detectable.

In my opinion, yes. And, as I said before, this is coming from a guy that both adores Megan Fox and rarely ever likes blondes. But that's my opinion. I have no problem with others not sharing it.
All I saw was some unfunny clips during the end credits. I didn't bother to stay for after.

I just saw the box office numbers for this weekend. Transformers is still going strong. If this movie makes more than The Dark Knight, I'm going to be sick

I'll admit. I can't see this thing beating TDK..cuz...I mean. I dunno how but...the Transformers general public buzz is nowhere near at the level that TDK had. People would NEVER shut the fuck up for TDK...and it was a damn fine film reasonably so.

So, he goes the cheating route, and tries to use that method to keep her away from Sam.
