==Trivia==
* In the ''real world'', Griffith Observatory is located within the city limits of Los Angeles, California. There's nothing that would explicitly contradict the possibility of it also being located there in the [[Transformers (2007)|movie]], although that would make it rather doubtful that [[Sam Witwicky]]'s home town of [[Tranquility]] is located in the state of Nevada, as claimed by various movie-related media (but not the movie itself).
* Initially, the owners of Griffith Observatory were reluctant to allow the crew of ''Transformers''
to film there, as it was undergoing a major renovation at the time. However, they relented, as Susan Bay, a relative of director [[Michael Bay]], and her husband, [[Leonard Nimoy]], made substantial contributions to the funding of Griffith.<ref>According to Michael Bay on the ''Transformers'' DVD commentary.</ref>
