This is just a theory. It'd be great if anyone could investigate this for me.
Anyways, here's an observation I made from a picture of the movie set:
notice what's in the lower right corner? http://www.flickr.com/photos/jebushchrist/267959308/
Could product placement in the movie lead to Burger King toys?
After all, they did have Cybertron.
Anyone have any other info to back my theory up?
