Actually, it's "MH-53 pilot, power down now, have your crew step out, or we will kill you." If you've followed the movie, you'd know that the directors/writers contacted military personal to ask them exactly how they would react if they were attacked by giant transforming robots. I'm not sure what else you want the guy to say. That's basically what he would say in real life. It gets the message across clearly as possible (very important) and it intimidates the enemy. I can see how you think it's bad dialog, because "or we will kill you" is such a common, blatant phrase. Regardless, I feel it's a good line and it's sort of straight-forwardness fits well with the situation.

That's not an Apache nor is it Megatron. It's Incinerator.


Anyways, I'm excited about this movie. I really like their take on the Transformers. Unlike most people, I think using the old designs would look ridiculous, even if the movie was set in the 80's (which I think it would have to be to use the old designs). A transforming boom-box? Seriously? I really like the more realistic approach they're taking, and they even have a decent scientific/techonological explanation for the transformers. I like the designs more than the old designs as well, since the new designs make a lot more sense and every part transforms perfectly into a vehicle.
