[[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] saw ''King Kong'' when he patched his databank into a television broadcast of the movie. He was reminded of the ape when [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] scaled the [[Empire State Building]] during a Transformer battle in [[New York City]], and took a leaf out of the movie's book by remote-controlling some drone helicopters and sending them to attack him. When Devastator easily swatted the craft out of the air, [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] consoled Wheeljack by suggesting that maybe Devastator had seen the movie too. {{storylink|City of Steel}}

The reporter [[Irwin Spoon (G1)|Irwin Spoon]] considered [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]'s destructive behaviour in upper [[New York (state)|New York State]] similar to that depicted in a Japanese monster movie. When [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] didn't get the reference, he went on to cite ''King Kong'' as an example.  {{storylink|Inside Story!}}

An angry [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] asked [[Optimus Primal]] "Who died and made you King Kong?". {{storylink|A Wolf in the Fold}}

==Notes==
* In real life, the reason [[Optimus Primal]] and [[Megatron (BW)| Megatron]] from [[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]], were given the alternate forms of a Gorilla and Tyrannosaurus Rex, respectively, was to make a direct homage to the scene from King Kong where the titular ape fights a Tyrannosaurus.<ref>[http://obscuretf.com/hhk/BC04interviews.html Botcon 2004 Interview with Vinnie D'Alleva], p2</ref>
* There were two versions of movie King Kong available at the time this episode was made, the original black and white from [[1933]] and the colour remake from [[1976]].
* In the 1976 remake of King Kong, the great ape was voiced by an uncredited [[Peter Cullen]]. <ref>[http://www.ugo.com/ugo/html/article/?id=17378 Peter Cullen, Transformers Interview]</ref>
