Transformers Response

First: Why did the Decepticons have significantly more robots than the Autobots?

Anyways, moving on. I don't know if anyone else noticed, but the Autobot cars were all made in the United States while the enemy Decepticon cars were all made in foreign countries. This reminds me of the time when the comic/superhero world created Captain America and Red Skull in the late 1940s to represent America and Democracy v. Communism and the Soviet Union, respectively. So, instead of nuclear weapons in the Transformers 2 movie, the opposing sides represent the current economic situation of the world in a larger sense. One can also view the two sides on a more specific level - U.S. auto companies v. Foreign auto companies. If real life and the movie were juxtaposed, then currently we would be in the middle of the movie when Optimus Prime has died and the Autobots are getting their ass kicked.
