Notes

  • Seriously? The mere fact that the Autobots use computer simulations is treated as top secret information? And the mere knowledge of this fact will allow the Decepticons to adjust their tactics and take away the Autobots' advantage?
  • Also, how is refraining from any sorts of violence supposed to work in combat? The Autobots can use their precious "teamwork" all they want - unless they do something, a hundred Autobots won't stand a chance against a dozen Decepticons with lasers no matter how great they might be as a team. One might get the impression that Robert Mann really doesn't understand combat…

Errors

  • When Optimus Prime criticizes Goldbug's actions based on his computer simulation, there is a quotation mark missing when Optimus's direct speech resumes in the German version.
  • It appears Robert Mann was not aware of what exactly "Pacific Beach" is, since the text gives it a definite article, specifically one with a female grammatical gender. The only way for this to even make grammatical sense in German in the first place would be if the word "Stadt" ("city") had been omitted, which would justify both the article and its gender, but even that makes no sense since there is no separate city named "Pacific Beach". While the name could alternatively refer to a district of San Diego or a census-designated place in Washington State, according to German grammar rules, both options would dictate that its grammatical gender should be neutral, without an article.
