Was there a major contradiction in the Transformers movie?

Question by bodhi: Was there a major contradiction in the Transformers movie?
I just watched this movie, and the kid in me just loved it. I grew up watching this cartoon so of course, couldn’t wait to see the movie.
Anyway, in the movie, Megatron was said to have had some grand scheme to use the power of the All Spark cube to transform human technology. However, he was found frozen in a glacier by an expedition in the 1800s or early 1900s, when there was basically no technology.
Even later in the movie, when they show Megatron frozen in captivity, a man claims that all our current technology was reverse engineered from Megatron (like microchips and lasers). If this is the case, how then would Megatron have intended to use the All Spark to transform technology that we did not yet have when he first came to Earth?
Seems like a glaring contradiction to me. Can anyone clarify this for me without making assumptions?

Isn’t that something? It seems that all movies and TV shows are rife with these glaring contradictions.
Of course, the movie was based on the idea of a battle between good and evil, which makes it fun. I agree: the kid in me enjoyed it, even if it did not make complete sense.
