Fiction

IDW Transformers movie comics

At age twelve, Sam's father presented him with the heirlooms of his ancestor Archibald Witwicky. At first, thinking they would be priceless artifacts or treasure, Sam was not impressed with what he described as "junk" and made googly eyes with the arctic explorer's glasses. Movie Prequel #3

Years later, Sam discovered the concept of riding around in cars to cruise for chicks. His best friend Miles suggested an online auction, but also convinced him to hold off on it until he was actually old enough to drive, as perhaps by then somebody would be interested in his family's heirlooms. Movie Prequel #4

Transformers: Beginnings

Voice actor: Unknown

When Sam was presented with Archibald Witwicky's personal effects, at first he was excited at the prospect of becoming rich, but was less than impressed with the "junk" in the box, as well as his flippant remarks about Archibald's eventual fate. This reaction mildly annoyed his father. Transformers: Beginnings

Transformers: Beginnings is a condensed, flash-animated retelling of the IDW Movie Prequel that is detailed above this section.

Transformers (2007 film)

Actor: Shia LaBeouf (English) Fuminori Komatsu (Japanese-language dub voice), Sérgio Cantú (Portuguese-language dub voice)

Is this a genealogy report or an auction?

After getting an undeserved A- for his genealogy report, Sam and his father went to buy a car. Though they passed a Porsche car lot, Ron was actually playing a cruel joke on his son (real smart, considering that he'll eventually get power of attorney someday). Going to Bobby Bolivia's car lot, they went shopping for a used car. Sam spotted a Camaro that he liked, but Ron, ever the cheap man, refused to go over four thousand dollars. However, when all the windows in the car lot suddenly exploded, Bolivia agreed to four thousand.

That Charles Atlas course really works!

Taking his buddy Miles to the lake, they encountered Mikaela and her boyfriend Trent. Trent pretty much told them to get lost, but Mikaela then dumped Trent. Realizing he had his one shot, Sam abandoned Miles and offered to give Mikaela a ride home. When his car had some engine trouble, Mikaela looked under the hood and was quite impressed with the layout of the Camaro's engine, though Sam was more impressed with the layout of Mikaela. After giving her a ride home, Mikaela asked Sam if he thought she was shallow. Sam awkwardly replied that he thought there was "more than meets the eye...with you". After berating himself for his lame pickup line, Mikaela waved goodbye from her porch, and Sam felt that he had made progress, and said he loved his car.

Nope, nothing out of the ordinary here, no sirree.

Later that night, his car suddenly left. Believing it was being stolen, Sam followed it to an abandoned junkyard. To his shock and horror, the car was alive. Sam left his last words to his parents and Mojo, where he acknowledged that he owned Busty Beauties that were given to him by his uncle Charles, then investigated. Some police came and arrested him, and an overzealous cop, believing him to be a junkie, called him "50 Cent". Returning home, Satan's Camaro arrived, and Sam fled ignominiously on his mother's pink bike. He hit the cement hard in front of Mikaela, and soon found a police car. He demanded the officer's help... at which point said police car turned into an even scarier car. After throwing Sam onto a nearby car, the cop car demanded the location of Sam's eBay items, but Sam fled and ran into Mikaela. The Camaro arrived and took them to a power plant, where the two cars fought it out, while Sam was chased by a spastic abomination who pantsed him. Mikaela was able to cut off its head, which Sam punted.

"Are you user name ladiesman217?!"
"NO!"
"Oh. Well, then never mind."
"Really?"
"No, I'm still gonna kill you."

Sam and Mikaela approached the Camaro, who could only speak through his radio, and offered a ride. Mikaela was hesitant, but Sam convinced her to get in. While driving, Sam had shotgun, but Mikaela refused to sit in the driver's seat. Sam suggested that she sit in his lap. Safety first, right? She agreed, then admitted to Sam that it was a smooth move on his part. Mikaela then asked if the robot was so advanced, then why did he turn into a piece of crap Camaro? Insulted, the car forced them out. As Sam lamented how four thousand dollars had driven off, the car returned as a 2009 Camaro. Taking the teens to an observatory, they watched as four meteors entered Earth's atmosphere, during which Mikaela instinctively reached out for Sam's hand. They were then escorted to an abandoned alley, where they met the biggest surprises of them all. Four other cars transformed into robots. The lead robot, after inquiring about Sam's identity, introduced himself as Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots, autonomous robotic lifeforms from a planet known as Cybertron. Prime introduced Jazz, his first lieutenant, Ironhide, his weapons expert, Ratchet, their medical officer (who claimed that Sam's pheromone level indicated that he wanted to mate with Mikaela, embarrassing both teens), and identified the Camaro as Bumblebee, Sam's appointed guardian. Optimus explained their mission to locate the AllSpark, the betrayal of Megatron and the Decepticons, and how Archibald Witwicky's glasses played a vital role in finding the AllSpark.

Oh great, now you get mugged by giant alien robots.

Going to his house, Sam frantically searched for the glasses, but the Autobots were somewhat impatient and totally wrecked his dad's backyard. After finding the glasses, government agents arrived. Their leader, Agent Simmons, took Sam and Mikaela into custody, separating Sam from his parents. Simmons went bad cop on Sam, threatening him with life imprisonment and revealing Mikaela's criminal record. Just as Simmons demanded answers about aliens, Prime intercepted the convoy, and the Autobots totally outclassed the agents. Sam demanded to know what Sector Seven was, but a backup team arrived. Prime took Sam and Mikaela to hide under a bridge, but they nearly fell to their deaths. Bumblebee saved them, but was captured, and Sam and Mikaela recaptured.

If you thought this part of the hazing was bad, wait'll you see what they do with the scraplets.

Taken to Hoover Dam, Simmons tried the awkward role of good cop, but Sam was uninterested in talking. Tom Banachek tried to bribe him, and Sam demanded the freeing of Bumblebee, his parents, and the expunging of Mikaela's criminal record. Taking them into the Dam, Sector Seven showed them N.B.E.-1, who Sam recognized as Megatron. He explained Megatron's goals, and the purpose of the AllSpark. However, the spastic abomination that pantsed him sent a message to the Decepticons, who attacked. Sam implored Sector Seven to release Bumblebee, saying he could help, which Captain Lennox assisted by putting a gun to Simmons's chest. Bumblebee converted the AllSpark to a smaller form, and the soldiers escorted the two teens and Bumblebee to Mission City, soon augmented by the Autobots.

Why Mr. Witwicky, why, WHY do you persist!?

Upon reaching Mission City, an F-22 Raptor was spotted, which Ironhide recognized as Starscream. Starscream attacked, damaging Bumblebee's legs, and a tank attacked the soldiers. As the Autobots and the soldiers went to deal with the tank, Mikaela arrived with a tow truck to remove Bumblebee from the battle. Megatron soon arrived and killed Jazz, and Lennox ordered Sam to take the AllSpark to a building to be escorted out of the city. Despite his refusal to leave, Bumblebee handed the Cube to Sam, urging him to go. Sam was pursued by Megatron, Starscream, and a helicopter, with Ratchet and Ironhide providing protection, but they were injured by Starscream, and Sam was forced to leave without them. During his flight, Sam dropped the AllSpark, causing some nearby machines to come to life. Reaching the building, Sam ignited a flare, but his ride was destroyed by Starscream.

Now, light our darkest hour...

Cornered on the roof, Megatron demanded the AllSpark, in exchange for living to be his pet, but Sam refused. Megatron used his flail to knock Sam off the roof, but Sam was saved by Optimus Prime. Telling Sam to hold onto the cube, Prime tried to scale down the building, but Megatron knocked them all off. Prime managed to shield Sam from any serious injury, however. Prime expressed admiration for Sam's efforts, and told him that if he couldn't defeat Megatron, Sam was to merge the Cube with his spark, destroying both Prime and the AllSpark. However, Megatron was too powerful for Optimus to defeat alone, and Prime told Sam to push the cube into the Autobot's chest. Instead, Sam merged the AllSpark with Megatron, killing him. Optimus extended his thanks, telling him he owed Sam a debt of gratitude. Bumblebee, who could now speak, requested permission to stay with Sam, to which Sam eagerly agreed. Sam and Mikaela entered into a relationship, and made out on Bumblebee's hood while Ironhide and Ratchet observed.

Sam really loves having a car. Transformers

The following events occur in a splinter timeline where Megatron won the battle of Mission City.

Sam held the key to Earth's survival, and his attempt to destroy Megatron with the AllSpark... failed. Sam was killed, and Mikaela and Bumblebee mourn him still. Bumblebee wondered if there was another reality where Sam's attempt succeeded and the Decepticons didn't conquer the United States... Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1

IDW Revenge of The Fallen comics

Shortly after the battle of Mission City, Sam and Mikaela were watching Ratchet reattach Bumblebee's legs when the transformed Mountain Dew machine suddenly attacked Sam. Fortunately, Ratchet crushed the creature before it could cause further havoc. Examining the liquid from its remains, Ratchet warned his human friends about the dangers in weight gain and tooth decay that the substance could cause to them. Amused, Sam and Mikaela promised to be careful. Alliance #1

A few months later, after the Autobots and the United States military had agreed to operation under a formal military alliance as NEST, Major Lennox became concerned over an ominous warning he had received from a Decepticon they had just destroyed. The Decepticons were looking for "it", and both Lennox and Optimus Prime feared they could be after Sam again. Though Lennox refused Prime's suggestion of placing Sam in protective custody at their base on Diego Garcia, believing it was too much for the boy to handle, they agreed that somebody needed to keep an eye on Sam, and so Bumblebee once again assumed the role of his protector. Alliance #4

Sam was delighted to see Bumblebee return, but the delight stopped when Bumblebee "helped" to get a cat out of a tree by shaking the tree until it got off. After learning that Bumblebee had return to watch over him, Sam used the Autobot as his ride to the movies for a double date between him and Mikaela, and Miles with Mikaela's friend Lyndsey. Once there, he saw Trent's truck and hoped not to run into him. The night went without a hitch, and Sam was happy that Bumblebee behaved himself in front of Trent, but Bumblebee explained that he got back at Trent by flipping over his car, which displeased Sam. As the days went by, Bumblebee's attempt to integrate himself into Sam's life weren't go as smoothly as he had hoped. Without the team structure of the Autobots, Bumblebee grew more reckless and impulsive, from smashing a would-be car thief with the door he was attempting to unlock, to inadvertently giving Sam traffic tickets for running red lights. Eventually, Sam discussed his upcoming college plans with Bumblebee, explaining that the yellow guy might not be able to accompany him at school, he then to persuade his parents to let Bumblebee stay in the garage while he's at school, but Ron strenuously said no, stated that he could stay for the summer, but once Sam left for school, the Autobot had to leave too. Frustrated, Sam walked off to Mikaela's to cool off, but twenty minutes in, he was captured by Barricade, who chained him up and hung him from a hook over a junkyard car crusher. The Decepticon demanded that Sam tell him where the location of Bumblebee and the AllSpark fragment was, but Sam had no idea where either one was. As Barricade prepared to drop the young human into the crusher, Bumblebee arrived just in time and Sam safely fell onto a pile of tires while Barricade taunted Bumblebee about how Earth had made the Autobot soft, and that their last encounter was just luck. Barricade easily swat Bumblebee aside and went after Sam, but Bumblebee managed to pull himself out of the scrap and assaulted Barricade once more. Barricade had the upper hand against Bumblebee, so Sam came in to help by operating a crane. However, Sam had trouble controlling the vehicle and Barricade snapped the chain-hook off and tossed the crane aside before charging at the crane's occupant again. Bumblebee then used the abandoned chain-hook to knock Barricade into a pool of gasoline. He sent Sam off to a safer distance and fired his cannon at the gasoline-soaked Decepticon menace, causing a massive explosion. Bumblebee survived the explosion and Sam was happy to see him okay. He then asked what happened to Barricade, and Bumblebee told Sam he had a feeling they haven't seen the last of Barricade. Tales of the Fallen #1

Titan Magazines Revenge of the Fallen comics

Sam's parents took him to college, and god did he regret that when his mother kept holding his hand. He was slightly surprised when Bumblebee drove off without warning. Dogfight!

Is that Sam or Adam Sandler?

Weeks later, he went off to meet Mikaela when he was accosted by Skids and Mudflap. Annoyed, he pointed out he'd done his part and just wanted to be left alone, but the twins pushed him into taking a ride in Skids. They explained they'd been framed for a crime they didn't commit, they had vital intelligence of a secret Decepticon army, and they wanted Sam to inform Optimus because he trusted him. Sam, being a smart kid, didn't think much of wild stories by two strangers who'd abducted him, and said he'd think about it. When Bumblebee turned up and the twins accelerated, he stopped thinking and starting banging on Skids window in a desire to GTFO.

Luckily, Skids spat him out. Unluckily, he then saw Bumblebee get gunned down by Soundwave, come to recruit the twins. Outlaw Blues

Revenge of the Fallen (movie)

Actor: Shia LaBeouf (English), Fuminori Komatsu (Japanese-language dub voice), Sérgio Cantú (Portuguese-language dub voice)

About two years later, Sam had graduated from high school and was preparing to go to college. He still found it difficult to say "I love you" to Mikaela.

Damned bedbugs.

Sam found a shard of the AllSpark left inside his clothing from the battle in Mission City which a.) brought numerous kitchen devices to life and b.) imprinted a large collection of ancient Cybertronian knowledge onto his brain. After Bumblebee destroyed the kitchen robots (and parts of the Witwickys' house with them), Sam handed the AllSpark shard to Mikaela. In a wrenching heart-to-heart with Bumblebee, he dismissed him from his role as guardian, saying it was time for Bumblebee to rejoin the other Autobots (and Sam wasn't allowed to have a car at college anyway.)

Arriving at college, Sam met his roommate, Leo Spitz, who operated a conspiracy website and was convinced that alien robots were hiding on Earth. At a frat party, Sam also met his fellow student Alice, who immediately and forcefully attempted to seduce Sam. When Bumblebee showed up, Alice invited herself along on a ride with Sam, but Bumblebee did everything he could to convince her to leave. After finally getting rid of her, Bumblebee took Sam to Optimus Prime, who was convinced—for some reason—that Sam was in danger. Even more strangely, Optimus asked Sam to act as a go-between for the Autobots to humanity at large. Sam, wanting to be normal, declined.

What do you mean, this movie is only orange and teal?

Because no good deed goes unpunished, of course, Sam shortly thereafter began to see strange symbols. He also developed a nasty eye tic and decided to assert in front of about three hundred of his colleagues that Einstein was wrong, that the first four dimensions were unfairly in the spotlight, and what about the other thirteen that nobody ever talks about? He began to write out the symbols in support of this theory on a blackboard in front of his class.

Hey Doc, don't get all Egyptian-ish and take out my brain through my nose!

After recovering from this outburst, Sam believed it might have something to do with him touching the AllSpark shard, and he contacted his girlfriend to warn her not to touch the shard. Mikaela promptly boarded a plane to see Sam, but when she arrived, she found him in what appeared to be an intimate moment with Alice. Fortunately for Sam's relationship, Alice turned out to be a killer alien robot. Mikaela, Sam and Leo, who stumbled across Alice's robotic self by coincidence, tried to escape, but were captured by the Decepticons. After Sam's failure at relating to a thirty-foot-tall robot, Megatron ordered a small, glasses-wearing robot called The Doctor and his assistants to remove Sam's brain in order to access the information from the AllSpark shard, but Optimus Prime and Bumblebee managed to locate them and free Sam, Mikaela and Leo.

Together, they attempted to flee, but in order for Sam to escape, Optimus Prime had to fight off Megatron, Starscream and Grindor all by himself. After killing Grindor, Optimus was impaled by Megatron and died. Just then, the other Autobots arrived, causing Megatron and Starscream to retreat; Sam was safe, for the moment at least.

In a hijacked TV broadcast, The Fallen revealed his existence to the world public and demanded Sam to be surrendered to him. Decepticons landed around the globe, killing several thousand people. In Paris, one of them tracked down Sam's parents, Ron and Judy Witwicky. A manhunt began for Sam.

Sam hid out with Mikaela, Leo, Bumblebee and the Autobot twins, Skids and Mudflap. Leo eventually suggested they ask his rival, "Robo-Warrior", owner of a competing website, for help. To everyone's surprise, Robo-Warrior turned out to be none other than Seymour Simmons, former agent of Sector Seven. Simmons revealed that symbols similar to those Sam was obsessed with had been found on numerous excavation sites around the world, but in order to read them, they might need a Decepticon. Mikaela just happened to be carrying around a Decepticon, who when interrogated, suggested they track down one of the Seekers, a species of Transformer that had been present on Earth for much of its history.

AHHH THE LIGHT IT BURNS!!!

At the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, they discovered an old Decepticon named Jetfire, disguised as an SR-71 Blackbird. Jetfire claimed to have defected to the Autobots and told them about The Fallen, who betrayed his brothers, the Primes, many millennia ago. The Fallen intended to destroy the Earth's sun in order to create Energon, the Transformers' source of energy. The symbols in Sam's head were a map to the location of the star harvester, the weapon the Fallen intended to use to destroy the sun. Jetfire also revealed that only a Prime could stop The Fallen, and a key was needed to activate the harvester, the Matrix of Leadership. Sam asks Jetfire whether the Matrix would also revive Optimus Prime, to which Jetfire responded that it might be possible given the unusual radiation that the Matrix generates.

We came all the way to Kansas for this, and that benefactor didn't tell me my PS3 Controller would just crumble into dust!

Jetfire opened a space bridge and teleported himself as well as Sam, Mikaela, Leo, Simmons, Bumblebee and the Twins to Egypt. Between the Pyramids of Giza, they found the next clue and traveled to Jordan, after a stopover for the night in which Sam totally failed at declaring his love for Mikaela. On the way, Simmons called Lennox and instructed him to get his team, as well as the dead body of Optimus Prime, to Egypt. In Petra, they discovered the tomb of the Primes. Inside, Sam found the Matrix, which crumbled to dust when he touched it. Sam collected the dust regardless, and together, they traveled back to Egypt.

Run, Mikaela! Run for the sake of cool perspective shots!

Meanwhile, the NEST team parachuted down and prepared for battle near the pyramids, having realised the Decepticons were on their way. Before Sam and the others could get back to Lennox and his people, the Decepticons commenced their assault. While the Autobots and NEST fought the Decepticons, Megatron used Sam's parents to lure him into a trap. Sam, falling into the trap, stalled for time by offering to hand over the Matrix dust to the Constructicon Rampage, till he was rescued by Bumblebee. Sam ordered Bumblebee to get his parents to safety while he and Mikaela tried to reach Optimus Prime's body.

Even Frisbees on Cybertron were co-opted into the Great War.

Sam was mortally wounded by the blast of a shot fired by Megatron. While paramedics tried to reanimate him, the Matrix dust was spilled across his hand, and Sam encountered the dead Primes in a vision. The Primes told him that he was destined to find the Matrix and save the life of the last Prime. Sam returned to life, and the dust in his hand reassembled itself into the Matrix. Sam took the opportunity to tell Mikaela that he loved her. With the Matrix, Sam was able to revive Optimus Prime, who ultimately was able to defeat the Fallen.

Did anyone miss me?

With the battle won, the Autobots, NEST, Sam and his friends returned to the USA on board of an aircraft carrier. Sam and Optimus Prime checked out the view from the back. Upon his return, Sam continued to attend college. Revenge of the Fallen

Rising Storm issue 1

In adaptations based on early drafts of the screenplay, Sam became a new vessel for the AllSpark as it transferred its knowledge from the Cube's remains to him. The information was transferred to the Matrix of Leadership, and Sam would never be bothered by symbols again. Revenge of the Fallen #2 Revenge of the Fallen

Transformers Annual 2011

Just as Sam was getting bored with doing his homework, he was attacked by Starscream. He dashed out towards the garage, but Bumblebee, already alerted, proved no match for the Decepticon. Starscream was about to make off with Sam, when Optimus arrived and quickly sent Starscream packing. Sam surveyed the effect that the battle had had on his dad's garden and reflected that he was in for trouble when his dad got back. Sam in Danger

Autobot campaign

The Autobots did their best to keep Sam out of the increasingly intense war with the Decepticons, reassigning Bumblebee to rejoin Optimus Prime's unit. Unfortunately, the Decepticons led by Grindor kidnapped him, intent on extracting information from his brain (no doubt in a most unpleasant and final manner). Fortunately for Sam, a force of Autobots arrived to rescue him. Sam managed to warn them of Grindor's presence before being escorted to safety.

Following this, Sam was escorted by the Autobots to an unassuming deli where former Sector Seven agent Simmons now worked. From there, he led the Autobots to the conveniently close-by museum where he managed to awaken the ancient Transformer Jetfire while the Autobots held off a Decepticon assault outside. Jetfire teleported them to Egypt, where Sam explored a mysterious tomb while Optimus Prime personally battled Megatron and Starscream. Despite Jetfire's death in battle, the Autobots managed to drive off the Decepticons. During the final battle against the Fallen, Sam's only contribution was to beg Optimus not to lose.

He tended to start babbling when panicked and there were times when the Autobots must have surely wanted him to shut up.

Decepticon campaign

At first, the human germ was of no further interest to Starscream and his Decepticon forces. However, upon discovering his fellow human Mikaela possessed an Allspark shard, the Decepticons first kidnapped her to seize the shard and then visited his college town. After tearing their way through a unit of Autobots sent to stop them, Starscream managed to capture the boy despite his protests.

Seeing as how he and Mikaela weren't heard from after that, it...er... didn't look too good for them.

Toys

Transformers (2007)

• First Encounter (2007)
  • Japanese ID number: SB-01

Yes, run toward the crazy robot.

This Screen Battles pack features a largely unchanged Deluxe class Barricade figure but the Frenzy accessory has been cast in black plastic to better blend in with Barricade's chest. The pack also comes with unposable figurines of Sam Witwicky in a running pose, Frenzy menacing Sam and Mikaela Banes holding the power saw she uses to attack Frenzy. The set is packaged in a special window box with a diorama depicting the battle between Barricade and Bumblebee.

Revenge of the Fallen

Sculpted DULL SURPRISE!

• Bumblebee / Sam Witwicky (2009)
  • Japanese ID number: RA-21

The first human partner in the Human Alliance subset of the Revenge of the Fallen toyline, Sam is an articulated 2.5 inch tall action figure designed to work with the larger scale, all-new Bumblebee figure and other Human Alliance scale Transformers. He can sit inside Bumblebee's vehicle interior, ride in special seats mounted on Bumblebee's arms or stand on his shoulder behind his head, with each location having a different weapon for Sam or any other Human Alliance human character figure to use. Despite this, he's much closer to being on scale with the Deluxe-class Bumblebee toy.

Transformers (2010)

PUDDING

• Bumblebee / Sam Witwicky (2010)

Sam in this release is an all-new mold that matches his appearance during the final battle in Egypt during Revenge of the Fallen. His proportions are... unfortunate.

Robot Heroes

So it doesn't strike anyone as odd that he's running towards another crazy robot, or that he's the same size as his car, or that his car is melting?

• Battle for the Allspark (multi-pack, 2009)

The first human Robot Heroes figure, Sam is a small super deformed figure sculpted running with the AllSpark cube while grinning stupidly. He is only available in a multi-pack with Megatron, Starscream, Brawl, Ratchet, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee.

Notes

• Sam was not given the nickname "Spike", nor his father the nickname "Sparkplug" (though his wife does refer to him as "Spark"), because unlike their G1 counterparts the movie characters are not oil rig workers or mechanics. Earlier drafts of the script did have Sam earning the nickname "Spike" another way, but this was dropped before the script was finalized.<ref>Roberto Orci on Paramount's official Transformers movie forum explaining why the names Spike and Sparkplug weren't used in the movie.</ref>

• Thanks to his brawl with Frenzy, the back of Sam's shirt is ripped, leaving a hole exposing his back. Interestingly, no one points this out to him or even notices during the time he gets a replacement jacket.

• He's not getting a Porsche. Srsly.

• He doesn't masturbate. Especially not to issues of Busty Beauties, which he doesn't keep in a treasure chest under his bed.

• Sam's eBay username LadiesMan217 is a reference to movie director Michael Bay's birthday, February 17th. If 217 had the same meaning for Sam, that would make his date of birth February 17th, 1990. ladiesman217 is a registered user on eBay, with no items currently for sale.
  • Except Sam's birthday, according to the Hasbro.com official timeline that came out with the first movie, is October 10th, 1990.
    • Buuuut in Revenge of the Fallen, the shot of Sam's driver's license has the date of birth as September 13th, 1991. Take your pick as to which is right.
    • The genealogy chart in the 2007 movie indicates Sam was born in 1990.
• In the Japanese dub of the film, Sam's eBay username is changed from "LadiesMan217" to "playboy217", since "ladies' man" isn't a term the Japanese are familiar with. To better suit this joke in the Spanish version, his username is "DonJuan217", named after the famed Spanish womanizer. In the IDW comics adaptation, his ePay username is "hotstud217". This is even more disturbing.

• In the Latin American dub of Transformers, Sam appears credited under the name of Sam "Spike" Witwicky.

• According to screenwriter Roberto Orci, he and writing partner Alex Kurtzman pitched the character of Sam as "Marty McFly on crack."<ref>Roberto Orci on Don Murphy's forum responding to criticisms of the human characters.</ref>

• Sam has blue eyes in the Revenge of the Fallen comic adaption.
