Nice catches Spoiler.

Hazekiah, I wrote a whole fanfic series dedicated to his comrade's remembering him and he is already a prominent player in my current fanfic and he has been my favourite character since I was one year old. So don't you dare insinuate I am butchering Ironhide.

 

Yes. Fanfics are well-reputed for being a solid and credible source for defining what a character is...  

 

Wow, wow, wow, hang in there cowboy, Fanfics deserve respect, some of them are dreadful, some of them are better than canon.

 

Yeah, some.

 

Point is, don't generalize.

 

Lmao! Did you ask ur ironhide toy to be ur valentine too?

 

I've got to admit, I   at that.

 

...I agree with Tyler.....and don't judge my fanfics without reading them.

 

P.S. No disrespect was meant by my laughing at his comment about you, Ironhide1706. I just...I just couldn't resist.  

 

CAN PREVENT GENERALIZATION

 

i'm with you bro!

 

When Sentinel is saying "My ship! We came under fire! The pillars! Where are the pillars?" the Autobots in the background are looking amongst themselves like "What the fuck is this guy talking about?"

 

Glad to see this thread back on topic. I found some more stuff:

TFilm1
The MQ-1 Predator UAV appears in this film and ROTF. The funny thing is, in the Orci-Kurtzman series TRANSFORERS PRIME this was Soundwave’s alternate mode.

Jazz is the only major Autobot whose name Sam doesn’t scream out:
- he’s screamed Optimus and Bumblebee’s names umpteen times
- he’s screamed Ratchet’s name in TFilm1 to attend to a legless Bumblebee
- and he’s screamed Ironhide’s name just before he attacks Crankcase and Crowbar

Agent Simmons is the SECOND government agent to have encountered Transformers, after Colonel Franklin from CYBERTRON. He was succeeded by Agent Fowler from PRIME.


ROTF
Sideswipe is inspired by the Autobot Drift: he transforms from a sportscar and wields blades in battle; even their headgear is similar.

Jetfire is partly inspired by Sky-Lynx, a British-accented bombastic Transformer with an aerial alternate mode.

The Twins are based on ANIMATED’s Bumblebee, who was a “kid-friendly” loudmouth who transformed into a Chevy Beat automobile.

When the Twins are first seen in robot mode (in Shanghai, after they crash into the wall), they’re seen speaking with each other’s voices. This LOOKS like an error, but in fact it is a play on a well-known trope that with twins you sometimes can’t tell which is which.

The Twins homage GI JOE, kind of hinting at RISE OF COBRA:
- They greet Leo with “Yo Leo!” an obvious parody of the “Yo Joe!” battle cry
- Mudflap screams “Kung fu grip!” before Devastator swallows him.

The desert scenes with Jetfire pay homage to LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, Spielberg’s favourite film. Jetfire could be compared to Lawrence: a British chap who is of both sides AND no side.

A railgun was reverse-engineered and designed from Megatron. That kind of fits, considering Megatron’s original form was a gun.


DOTM
The Ark, a long lost Autobot ship, had several stuff taken from it by astronauts – effectively making NASA, uh, raiders of the lost Ark.

The Decepticons’ master plan is based on the DOCTOR WHO saga THE END OF TIME: a leader of a broken world (Rassilon, Sentinel Prime) plans to rebuild it by bringing it to Earth, and the final battle involves the participation of two rivals (the Doctor, the Master; Optimus Prime, Megatron) to stop him.

Cybertron is consumed by a black hole. This is a homage to the Unicron Trilogy, which had major antagonist Unicron die and leave behind a black hole.

 

“Another thing for ROTF, is one of the pictures of the seekers looks to be Powerglides alternate mode, which hints that movieverse Powerglide is also a Seeker.” Shockwave69
No, sorry, this is TFilm Powerglide: Powerglide (DOTM) - Transformers Wiki. He’s stayed the same mode he was before in G1, an A-10 Thunderbolt jet.

However, one of the photos showcased a Hudson steam locomotive, who COULD be the Decepticon Astrotrain.

 

I highly doubt that was on purpose, but that makes it all the more better. haha.

 

Optimus' faceplate changes back-and-forth rapidly between shots when he revives Sentinel. Optimus, with his faceplate off/disengaged approaches Sentinel and revives him. When Sentinel lunges at Optimus, the shot from over-the-shoulder of Sentinel that has them both falling (but not yet hitting the ground) shows Optimus' faceplate on/engaged. Yet the following shot when they actually hit the floor, Optimus' faceplate is off/disengaged once again. But I doubt anyone other than five people in the entire world noticed that without scrutinizing the frames, let alone noticing it in the theatre.

EDIT: Pics, because otherwise, it didn't happen.  

Optimus revives Sentinel with the Matrix; no faceplate:

Sentinel lunges at Optimus; Faceplate:

Sentinel and Optimus hit the ground; No faceplate:

Not necessarily a mistake, as Optimus could've easily engaged his faceplate when Sentinel first lunged at him (with his back to the camera).

Yeah, doubt that was intentional, but that is quite funny nonetheless.  

 

Actually, Sam yells Ironhide's name right before the Arcees die as well.

 

Guys, rewatch the "Charge the pillars!" scene. A split second before Ratchet says that line, look to the left of the screen. Mirage is in shot, but he's running ahead of the others. You have to be fast to see it.

 

Makes sense. Because I believe that in the following shot(s), there's a wide shot (right before the "Sam Parkour"-shot) showing the Autobots and soldiers and Dino just f**king rocks this Decepticon protoform. Stabbing him, and then throwing him to the ground. All amidst   That's probably where he was running to.

 

Yeah, he even draws back to stab the fucker in the face while Ratchet is gunning down entire squads.
