Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Novelization)

Well, I did not exactly put this in my reading list because I read it before the challenge began so yeah. Okay, two years after the battlef of Mission City, the Autobots have allied themselves with Captain Lennox's squad, and are travelling around the world looking for Decepticons and stuff...
Well, apparently, the story was more well layed out than the movie, well obviously because it is simply a book, while Bay took it out and turned it into a movie.
I particularly enjoyed the Twins' conversations and how Leo seems to be tortured by Sam's plans to ranging from distracting a gaurd to reviving a former Decepticon. Okay, so at the beginning, you find Demolisher (I think??) and an Audi R8 called Sideways, so they were rampaging around Shanghai (In the movie there was a little scene, showing a deaf Chinese elder, I feel offended) And Prime learns that a being called "The Fallen" will be back on Earth looking for something. Hearing this, the Autobots looked for Sam for guidance (Even though he was no way related). When sidetracked by a Decepticon named Alice (As in Alice from Wonderland), Leo, Sam, and Mikaela hijacks a car and flees the University Sam and Leo were attending. Well, things went a little bit wrong when the car they were in got pulled up by some chopper Decepticon named Grindor and they plunged 40ft into an (abandoned) warehouse.
There, Sam was interrogated by Megatron (Yes, he's back for more) in a rather dreaful way (He (Sam) got robotic worms put inside of his brain (or nose)), turns out they were looking for a key called the Matrix of Leadership and Sam's brain was given the clues to the place. And Prime comes to save him before Scalpel (An evil Cybertronian surgeon) dissects his brain. Bee assists them but was pulled out of the fight when Starscream interferes with the fight. This caused Prime to almost face defeat but gave the rest of his power to kill Grindor, detach Starscream's hand, however was stabbed through the chest by Megatron (You could say he died). As Autobot reinforcements arrive, the Decepticons fled the scene.
Sam was depressed over Prime's death and sacrifice. The Autobots, ask Lennox and his squad for assistance in helping them find the Matrix of Leadership, they agree and all travel to Egypt, with the help of Jetfire (the former Decepticon, who knew it was in Egypt). Sam favours help from someone called Simmons, a Sector 7 major, who turned out to be Leo's internet rival, Robowarrior. They gained the upper hand on travelling to Egypt, thanks to Jetfire's teleporting powers, and found the tomb by accident when Skids and Mudflap (the Twins) were fighting over who's smarter. Sam holds the Matrix, only to find the 10,000 year old artifact disintegrate into a pile of ashes. Lennox and Epps arrives to the scene before being counterattacked by the Decepticons, now with more backup than ever. In the ensuing battle, Sam get blown by Megatron over the battle field and is critically wounded, facing near death, but his thoughts were visited by the 12 original Primes, whom the Fallen was originally one, and told him to go and because of his trust, they allow him to continue his mission, to use the key to bring Optimus Prime back to life. Sam, is reincarnated, and tosses the matrix into Prime's spark, he is brought back to life but is far too weak to fight. He is then ambushed by the Fallen, who intends to use the Matrix as a key to use the 'Solar Harvestor' to drain out the Sun. Fortunately, Jetfire offers his Jet parts for Prime at the cost of his own spark. With the new power, Prime destroys the Harvestor and impales the Fallen with his own staff, while Megqatron and Starscream flees the scene. Earth is saved again, and the connection between the Autobots and the humans deepen...

Goto the premiere of Transformers: Dark of the Moon! Coming July 1st!
