Notes

• Amaru and Optimus Primal speak [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Southern Quechua|{{#if:||Southern Quechua}}]] to each other when the Autobots are led to the Andean village. During their greeting, Amaru says "Kusikuni hamusqaykimanta, machu kawsaq masillay." ("I'm happy that you've come, my old friend.") Primal replies with "Allillanchu wayqiy?" ("How are you, my brother?")
• Amaru was presumably named by the filmmakers after the 18th century Andean rebel [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Túpac Amaru II|{{#if:||Túpac Amaru II}}]], who is best known in the United States for being the namesake of the 20th century rapper [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Tupac Shakur|{{#if:||Tupac Shakur}}]].
