Notes

Oprimus: Behold the Ion blaster!
Shockwave: That's the Mega Striker, not the Ion blaster.
Optimus: Of course it's the Ion blaster, it just so happens to be similar to the Mega Striker.
Bumblebee: He's right Prime That is indeed the Mega Striker, accept that you confused the names of your guns by accident.
Optimus: SHUT UP!

• In the Dark of the Moon video game, Optimus Prime's Primary weapon is very similar to the Mega Striker, despite being named as Ion blaster.
