Corrected entry: Assuming the Decepticons are individuals (which they all have been), the constructicons are all in different places at once. One of the first guys you see is Scavenger: he forms the chest of Devestator but dies to Optimus in one of the fist scenes. It gets worse in the final battle where the individual robots that form Devastator can be seen fighting individually at the same time. You see Long Haul (the big green dump truck) sneaking around a building looking for Sam - he is the leg of Devastator who is stomping around at the time. Bumblebee has a 10 minute fight with Rampage - who is Devastator's right arm. I am pretty sure that was Hightower helping Megatron find Sam as well - though currently he is Devastator's leg. Oh and then during and after Devastator is being destroying you can see Mixmaster (Devastator's head) getting his butt kicked by Jetfire. Also the huge Shovel vehicle afterward is supposed to be Scrapper (the other arm for Devastator). It's as though they had something else in mind for the plot but things changed in editing etc. These were always supposed to be individuals, not clones. They even have the same paint-jobs as their Devastator components. I love this movie but this is an amazing thing to overlook from a continuity standpoint.

Correction: Sorry, but you lose out in the first line of your submission with your assumption that the Constructicons are all individuals with unique alternate forms. They're not. It's perfectly clear simply by watching the film that there are multiple robots with the same alternate form.

Corrected entry: At the end, after Sam is told by the ancient Primes that the Matrix is "earned, and not found", then how is The Fallen able to easily take it away from them?

Correction: The Fallen is one of those ancient Primes who created it in the first place, so it's safe to say that he can handle the Matrix as much as he wants. Sam isn't, so he has to prove his worth.

Corrected entry: The Decepticons want to restore their supply of Energon by destroying the Earth's sun. The problem is, the resulting explosion (or supernova, or whatever), would almost instantly destroy the Earth and everything, including the Decepticons, on it.

Correction: They never state exactly what will happen to the Sun, just that it will be destroyed in order to create Energon. Presumably the sun's energies will be siphoned in some way to extract the energy required - they're not just going to blow it up.
