Yeah, that's the part that seems so weird to me honestly. It's been a while since we've done the Russian vs. US thing, so it's odd to see it making a comeback in this film. It's not a storyline one really expects to see anymore, especially where a Space Race is concerned. I thought that was over a while ago.

Of course the Decepticons will be for the Ruskies, US already has a Autobot task force.

But it's Michael Bay, he can't help himself when it comes to stuff like that. Truthfully no director can keep their beliefs out of their films, but that's part of having that creativity and making movies; to share your thoughts and ideas. Remember that scene in the first one on Air Force 1, when the president (Bush) is relaxing in bed and ask for another ding-dong. It's a jibe at the president at the time, and totally unnecessary.

Judging by the plot here, I'd say it might get pretty damn political which sucks. But you know, as long as they leave giant metal balls out of the film, I'll be happy.
