    The ringtone when Joshua texts his scientists is G 1 theme, same thing used in the copier scene in DotM.

    I swear Joshua is drinking the same milk as Ken Jeong in DotM

    Did the rocket boots come from the armor upgrade in the ship?

    What's the My Little Pony reference? Missed that

    A major issue I found was with Galvatron. I understand that Megatron's chromosomes (or at least that's what Brains called them..) "infected" Galvatrons KSI made body, but at no point did they give him a voice box or anything similar to our knowledge, so whenever bald dude (don't recall his name) gets pissed off and ask why "Galvatron spoke" or whatever, they've fucked themselves over, because that clarifies he wasn't built to. Maybe I've missed something here, but Glavatron probably shouldn't have been able to speak.. just saying.

    Also, Transformium! But I have a rant about that located here.

    When one of the scientist dudes (the chubby one always eating a donut) is fucking with the Transformium sphere, he was holding a MLP that then morphs into what looked like an automatic machine gun.

    i see someone else noticed the "Shuhua Milk" that Tucci's character was drinking.


    As someone living in Chicago, I was noting a lot of the different filming points, notably them using parts of McCormick Place convention center as bits of KSI, though the front entrance is actually on the north end of Millennium Park.

    - When Prime and the others first see word of Ratchet's head being melted down causing Prime to freak, they are parked on the roof of the North Building of McCormic.

    - When he and the others crash through to get into the factory, it's through the main entrance of the facilities' Grand Concourse.

    - The factory floor they invade, is actually the Lakeside Center portion of McCormick Place. One thing the facility has is signs hanging overhead to point out restrooms and dining areas, so it's funny that in the background when Prime and the Autobots are talking to Tucci, you see a giant knife/fork sign, and a restroom sign hanging overhead in the background.

    The point was that Megatron was in control and was using the Transformium to become exactly what he wanted. That's the same reason why they were complaining it constantly looked like Megatron and not Optimus and had the grinder in the chest. It wasn't supposed to be able to talk, yet somehow it had built itself the ability to.

    Honestly its a little silly. Why the hell didn't they cease all production right then and there? "Hm, despite our programming not allowing this to be possible, it constantly looks like the evil overlord who's brain we're using. Well, whatever. Technicalities!". Megatron wasn't even being subtle about making himself a new body. Was the entire factory of "geniuses" too dumb to live?

    Well, in the whole history of Cinema, the majority of films where humans try to make humanoid machines to do their bidding...usually has those machines turning against the creator.

    As well, there are some allusions to the Spark equaling a 'Soul' when Cade talks to Optimus...and if one looks, where a Spark Chamber should be on Megatron, is just that gaping orange hole-thingy, so where one would normally kill a Transformer in the center of their chest...there's no possible way to do it.

    Though I am surprised that noone considered that what Tucci's character seemed to be proposing, was to be creating his own, 'Nemesis Prime' (semi rig, wanted it to look just like Optimus).

    The whole gang leaves KSI, Galvatron and Stinger are dispatched to chase them. Galvatron engages Prime, we have a 1v1 fight, while Cade and Tesa are like:

    "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad"
    "Teeeeeeesaaaaaaaaaaa"
    "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad"
    "Teeeeeeesaaaaaaaaaaa"

    Then Prime gets shot by Lockdown and captured.

    Meanwhile the rest of the Autobots are......... ??????

    I assume they were preoccupied with Stinger. I was more annoyed by:

    "Break the glass!"
    *Tessa makes no actual attempt to break the glass*
    "I CAN'T!!"

    When Cade and Savoy are jumping down the apartments, they are seen to fall down quite a few levels. Even after the whole air conditioner ordeal, the camera pans back and they are still only two or three floors down.

    Well she was portrayed as pretty helpless in all the dire situations, so she's probably panicing.

    ... but the Autobots? To say they're preoccupied is an extremely tall stretch. I don't know, Hound, Drift, Crosshairs and Bumblebee vs Stinger. It's the usual continuity error we'd expect from a Transformers movie now, if it's even an error. Could just be a bad script conveniently forgetting shit just so the plot can move.

    One thing that I noticed that the elevator scene when Cade said that they were "too heavy for it to work". There was a sign in the elevator that said "max capacity 9 people"... 4 people and the seed were on the elevator... which means that the seed would have to be as heavy, if not more than, 5 people for the elevator to "break"... but all throughout the ending Joshua is carrying the seed around like it is nothing when he should be straining with it

    I also believe the sign said max load is 760kg = 1676 lbs...
    Cade = 190ish
    Joshua = 190ish
    Shane = 190ish
    Tessa =125ish
    Total = 695 (give or take 30 lbs)

    Which means the seed would have to weigh roughly 1000lbs for the elevator not to work... I don't think Joshua is The Hulk...

    end rant.

    You get a CLEAR reference at Nemesis Prime. And also you hear the G1 transforming sound when Optimus upgrades and his Autobot symbol pops up. You also see a literal two headed Shockwave. (It also had Shockwave's back) So, more than likely, they reverse-engineered Shockwave and gave him two heads.

    The "More Than Meets the Eye" tone was the scientist's ringtone as well.

    I noticed in one shot when the humans were trying to tightrope their way off the ship, there was one shot of Tessa that shouldve clearly showed the wolves but they were not there.

    And anyone notice that dude stunt double for Li Bingbing that we saw pictures of when filming? Lol

    I saw two of those things, one Hound shot in the face!

    Also, if MEgatron was controlling what was amde by Transofrimum..maybe he created Two Shcowkaves from Memeory, but rushed them so they Got 2 heads.

    In the scene where the KSI scientist holds the Rainbow Dash that morphs into a gun, the CGI looks off, like he's not really holding it at all.

    Also given that he had food in his mouth but no food on his person it kind of looked like he had been eating the Rainbow Dash.

    Yeah the wolf thing bugged me.

    Also, dude stunt double? Where is the photo of this, this I have to see.
