    Is it possible that this photocopier mode is a nod to the talking office equipment that does the bumps on the Hub?

    Good question. In a realm of infinite possibilites, which I think we all live in, than yes. Damn good observation there, dude. At the same time the photocopier mode could also exist only for that paper company to use it as a commercial. Could be one or the other, both, or none. Good observation.

    I could have sworn that was a television, turned off, since we haven't seen the TFs turn into non-mechanical objects.

    I don't remember it being stated, but his skills seemed to impress people at NEST and his employer might not be able to keep him after the events of the film...

    Maybe, but that seems a little obscure. I think its more because that's what's available in the setting to use as a disguise.



    Totally obvious reference, but Prime's trailer is a reference to his G1 repair bay/weapons storage trailer in the first part of the movie, and the flight pod trailer is probably a reference to apex armor / supermode armada/cybertron Prime.

    Nothing much he hacks into the traffic camers to see what is going on inside the Decepticon blockade in Chicago. He's in the command center with Simmons the lat half of the movie, so very far away from the action.

    Oh good point actually. There was that old photocopier commercial where it transformed into a robot and scared a girl. Was that for a paper company?

    Dutch is last seen in the background in the mid-credits scene of Simmons kissing Mearing. Spoiler? Well you shouldn't be reading this thread then should you :p 

    And I have seen it because the first midnight screenings in Australia finished an hour ago.

    I noticed that Optimus' swords have changed in DoTM; they no longer appear to either take the place of his hand or pop out of the wrist above his hand like they did at the end of RoTF.

    A few times it is stored in his forearm, at the start of the film it's stored in his trailer, but when he grabs it out it becomes an actual handheld weapon.

    No they still replace his hand in the shot of him cutting the Brawl clone in half.

    yeah, I noticed that too. There were a couple different ones that got crushed for dramatic effect, and one that didn't, which looked most like herr scalpel.

    Out of curiosity, what criteria are you using for your list, as there's some stuff I suggested that didn't make it.

    Megatron sitting on the lincoln memorial as a throne is a reference to the G1 episode "Atlantis Arise!"

    product placement: Lenovo during the "Accurate" office.

    mistake: when sentinel prime awakened and start talking in english when he should be talking in cybertronian first.

    I would like to add: shockwave does not have alt mode (or probably I was distracted when I'm putting down my popcorn). he just ride the gigantic earthwormbot. anyways, a gigantic earthwombot could really cause some earthquakes = shockwaves.
