There is now a special Transformers ROTF exhibit on display that features many of the props from the movie. It is located at Udvar Hazy Center of the National Air and Space Museum right outside of Washington, DC at Dulles Airport.
TFW2005's curlup recently visited this display and recounted his experiences here.
We have mirrored these images for your convenience.
Also of note is an Air and Space Museum presentation later this month. On August 27th, there will be a special lecture entitled Transformers: Cold War Toys for Boys from 12:30 TO 12:45 PM. For more information, click here.

Also, do they happen to have Jetfire's cane on display? It might of just been astounding CGI work, but I'm pretty sure for some shots in the boneyard, they had a giant bottom half of Jetfires cane that was real, for the shots with the humans, you could see Jetfire's cane in front of them shaking around like he was moving.

Good question; looks like it's a good reason to go back, and it'd be nice to know how long this thing will be on display.

I'm guessing it's a toy prototype.
Hmm, first it's Grimlock in the Natural History Museum in London, now Starscream, Jetfire, and Wheelie have gone to the Smithsonian. Any chance Prime and Megs will be enshrined somewhere soon?

Also funky is the sheer amount of stuff.

It's almost like they warped all the way to Davis-Monthan AFB in Arizona walking out of those hangar doors into the AMARC lot and the boneyard. Still very cool though!

Poo. I was hoping for a Leader Prime and Jetfire Costco exclusive similar to Costco Prime/Overload scheme;

Oh and I just saw two Jetfires at my somewhat local Meijers.
