TF Refs

During the fight between the humans and Frenzy in Hoover Dam's communication room, Reggie brandishes a flamethrower and yells "Buuuurrrnnn!" twice while using it, referencing the Beast Wars character Inferno. This sounds like a reeeeeal stretch to me. Unless we've heard from the production crew that this was the intention, it seems a bit too generic to be a true reference. -- Repowers 01:48, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Another thing about the refs. In Mission city Optimus says to Megatron "It's just you and me Megatron". Well, in The Unicorn Battles just before they fight, Galvatron says the same thing to Optimus.--Closetjedi 02:17, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

If it's a reference to anything, it's to More than Meets the Eye, Part 3. -- Repowers 02:25, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

That's true. I had to rewatch it. Also, that reminded me that in the movie Megatron has fallen under the ice, like Skyfire in G1--Closetjedi 03:48, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

The latter is way too much of a stretch to be a reference. "Ancient thing frozen in ice gets thawed out and comes to life" is a fictional plot device as old as time. -- Repowers 04:13, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

(Movie)

Why is this not at "Transformers (Movie)" when every other article relating to this movie which needs a (disambig) uses (Movie)? - SanityOrMadness 21:51, 20 May 2009 (EDT)

Because that would be confusing when there is a The Transformers: The Movie - Starfield 22:05, 20 May 2009 (EDT)

Under 'Notes'

Would it be worth noting that there was a rip-off movie called 'Transmorphers' released in 2007 (plus a prequel in 2009 called 'Transmorphers: Fall of Man')? - Zadok Rox 23:28, 22 April 2010 (EDT)

Maybe a mention in the knockoffs article would be appropriate, lol -- Semysane 02:11, 23 April 2010 (EDT)

Characters

What about the guy who was chained to the post with Simmons, who had his phone on speaker?—TOM 19:26, 3 January 2011 (EST)

what about the autobot generic who gets sphered by megatron in prime's record of cybertron —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 92.241.62.70 (talk • contribs){{#if:06:13, 28 January 2011 (EST)| 06:13, 28 January 2011 (EST)|}}.

What about him? --abates 06:19, 28 January 2011 (EST)

Synopsis

Is the "synopsis" section based on the novelization or something? The way I remember the movie, it begins with a brief narration by Optimus Prime, then the largely unexplained (at the moment) attack on Qatar, leading into the movie proper. Or is this page meant to give a more general idea of the movie universe's chronology than a summary of its plot? - Caswin 23:41, 8 March 2011 (EST)

It seems to be a proper synopsis with the flashbacks and background information about Megatron, Archibald Witwicky, and all that front-loaded so it's all in chronological order. - Cattleprod 00:43, 9 March 2011 (EST)

I'm more concerned about the fact that the synopsis, which is supposed to be written in-universe, begins with "The film opens...". --Detour 00:45, 9 March 2011 (EST)

Errors!

You're not quoting the Movie, which is weird cos they mostly are of 98% '86 Movie, 2% non-'86 Movie. --69.19.14.32 15:10, 29 May 2011 (EDT)

Furman didnt, Ryan did

Can we add near the bottom of the page that whilst Simon isn't a fan of the movies, Mark Ryan said at Auto Assembly 2011 that he is proud of his contributions to the movies? Durge 13:15, 26 December 2011 (EST)

A-10 Error

I think it should be noted in the errors that the A-10 Thunderbolts were using GAU-8 machine guns, but the sounds were inaccurate. Also, part of the article calls the A-10 a fighter. It is a ground attack aircraft.
