Transformers?

Can someone explain the story for the movie Transformers. I, for one thought the storyline was pretty vague but the graphics was fuckin awesome.

The film begins with the history of Cybertron’s destruction at the hands of Megatron, and his quest to attain the Allspark. Megatron discovers the Allspark on Earth, but crash lands in the Arctic Circle, becoming frozen in the ice. Captain Archibald Witwicky, and his crew of explorers, stumble upon Megatron’s body in the late 19th century. Megatron’s navigational system is turned on, and Archibald’s eye glasses are imprinted with coordinates to the location of the Allspark. The United States move Megatron to the Hoover Dam, and locate the Allspark, which they use to further advance human technology.

In present day, the rest of the Decepticons — Blackout, Scorponok, Frenzy, Barricade, Starscream, Bonecrusher, and Devastator — have already landed on Earth and assumed the disguise of Earth vehicles. Bonecrusher and Scorponok attack a US military base in Qatar, in an effort to use the military database to discover Megatron’s location and the location of the Allspark, but they do not succeed.

The Autonomous Robotic Lifeform (shortened to Autobot) known as Bumblebee is also on Earth, and looking for Sam Witwicky, the great-great-grandson of Captain Archibald Witwicky. As soon as he locates Sam, the two quickly begin to bond as Bumblebee helps Sam try and woo Mikaela Banes; Sam is unaware of the fact that Bumblebee is an alien, until he witnesses Bumblebee transform and send out a homing signal for the rest of the Autobots. After Blackout’s failure, Frenzy boards Air Force One and discovers Sam is in possession of a map that will lead the Decepticons to the Allspark. Frenzy and Barricade begin tracking Sam’s location.

Barricade confronts Sam, demanding Sam’s grandfather’s glasses. Bumblebee, who was following Sam, transforms and battles Barricade. Mikaela, who was also following Sam, is caught in the middle of the action, and leaves with Sam and Bumblebee to go meet the rest of the Autobots. The Autobots — Optimus Prime, Jazz, Ironhide, and Ratchet — land on Earth and take on the forms of several Earth vehicles. Sam, Mikaela, and the Autobots return to Sam’s home to retrieve the eye glasses with the map to the Allspark. A top-secret government agency, called Sector 7, arrives to take Sam and Mikaela into custody. Bumblebee is also apprehended, against the pleas of Sam who assures the government agents that he is not going to hurt anyone.

Frenzy secretly accompanies the group to the Hoover Dam, and immediately releases Megatron from suspended animation. Locating the Allspark, which is at the Hoover Dam alongside Megatron, Frenzy sends out an alert to the rest of the Decepticons. With Megatron released, Sam convinces the Sector 7 agents to release Bumblebee, so that he can get the Allspark to Optimus Prime. The Decepticons chase the Autobots, who now posses the Allspark, into a neighboring city. An ensuing battle causes casualties for both sides, with Sam destroying Megatron and the Allspark when he plugs the Allspark into Megatron’s chest. The remains of the Decepticons are dropped into the Laurentian Abyss. The Autobots decide to stay on Earth, and Optimus sends out a signal across space in an effort to locate any surviving Autobots. Starscream, one of the Decepticons that survived the battle, leaves Earth.
