    Matt Armstrong mentioned this, the way Jazz jumped on top of Brawl is same as in the show.

    After killing all those agents on Air Force One, Frenzy turned back into a boom box and the screen flahed "No disc".

    Well, for me it was hilarious to see Frenzy do a nice homage to BW Waspinator's crawling head gag.

    The Wapinator/Frenzy bit was hilarious!

    More homages:
    Sam's last name of Witwicky (and no one being able to pronounce it, wasn't that from the comics)
    Mikaela's dad being a mechanic like Sparkplug
    Jazz's "breakdancing"
    Not exactly a TF referance, but every song coming out of Bee's radio was from the 80s
    Dropping Megatron in the ocean and hoping he's dead for good, Megs and all the other Cons end up there at the end of MTMTE
    Autobots have blue eyes, Cons have red

    oh yeah, i can't believe that I didn't point this out but remember how alot of the G1 episodes had stories that took place at power plants especially around a dam which generated power? You would always see guys dressed up like Sparkplug. Yellow Boots, Blue Jeans, Brown Shirt and Yellow Hardat.

    We didn't exactly get that exact wardrobe ensemble. But During the Hoover Dam scene, there were lots of guys dressed somewhat like that. There were definitely lots of hardhat wearing dudes.

    I watched it for a second time today and I caught something that I hadn't earlier. During the whole phone call/credit card scene, there were two switchboard operators in the background, one had a red (autobot) turban on, and the other guy had a blue (decepticon) one on. I found it to be rather funny.

    I don't know if it was a reference or not but the guide boy in Qatar reminded me a little of Hassan/Prince Jamal, especially since they both wore blue.

    All the references made me and my other friend smile hardcore. Especially the Jazz swinging on Brawl's barrel and pulling it upwards. That was way too cool.

    I still think Optimus Prime should've said "Amazing. A boobie trap that actually catches boobies"

    Definitely, as much as Megatron's whip-chain was a reference to the morningstar he had in MTMTE.

    How's that a G1 reference?

    Sam said it too (when Barricade was chasing him). I think that's a bit more acurate.

    I see Bobby Bolivia and I think Bobby Bonilla. Why?

    And isn't it funny that Sam buys his Bumblebee from B.B. who tried first tried selling him a Beetle?

    Optimus hanging like Optimus Primal after they capture BB, under the bridge. Also Optimus states that Jazz is his lieutenant.
