Notes

Differences with movie

Several pieces of the film are trimmed out and/or pared down, but purely for page-space reasons, rather than due to the issue being based on an early script. These include:

  • Laserbeak's assassinations; Wang is the only victim shown (save for Voskhod, last issue). There is no protracted dialogue between the two, either: Laserbeak just bursts into a window and kills him.
  • Sam's difficulty in getting into the NEST base, and Bumblebee coming to his rescue.
  • Sam contacting Simmons.

Other script-based differences include:

  • Rather that hide from Laserbeak, Sam actively fights back, taking down the avian Decepticon with a fire-axe to the head. Laserbeak survives, though!
  • Dutch really doesn't seem to be German here. Also, Simmons appears far less assured of his skills, often offering him advice and gently berating him.
  • In line with this, there's no scene of him flipping out and setting off a Mexican standoff in the Russian bar; instead, Brains reveals himself and starts talking in Russian, charming the cosmonauts into sharing their info.
  • Simmons breaks his leg not simply from being flung out of his car, but from the clumsy Dutch accidentally backing up and running him over!
  • Hatchet and one of the other Dreads are taken out in the running battle along the freeway, with the third and final one being eliminated by Ironhide immediately upon arrival at NEST headquarters (Crankcase and Crowbar never transform, so we can't tell which is which). Consequently, we're missing our second Mexican standoff.
  • Again, Skids and Mudflap are present at NEST headquarters.
