    It kinda made me laugh. "Don't look behind you!" "Why?" (camera shot mistakenly shows no Wolf) "Oh... never mind!"

    I love the two- and three-headed Shockwaves! Nice touch and shows he is not "just gone" for lack of anything better. I want them to get sets!

    Idk if it was just me but when the KSI is at Cade's farm and Shane's Rally Car (Rollbar) pulls up for the first time, there is no driver in the car.

    That was on purpose to make the audience think that it's a TF.

    What was the deal with that anyway? I thought he was gonna do something. There was no driver and once Shane mentioned his improvement in driving I was geeking out and then nothing came of it.

    I noticed that too. That scene was a bit ironic to me. For one, Mark Wahlberg is in a fight on the side of a building. It reminded me of Uncharted, and he was supposed to be in the Uncharted movie at one point. Second, Savoy kicks an air conditioner down at him. This reminded me of Bay being attacked on set by that guy with an air conditioner.

    Yep. Shuhua Milk. Very popular in that region. It was a direct reference to the DOTM moment. I think it's hilarious.


    Also, I noticed that the first time we see the KSI building the logo and name on the side of the skyscraper is near the top of it, and every time after that it's near the middle of the building. :lol

    I noticed that as well. You could make the case that the camera was just in the right angle so that you'd see no driver silhouette. But yeah, it did look like no driver.

    - The air conditioner scene might have been a reference to this;
    http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/transformers-4-premiere-michael-bay-713052
    - The 'Transformium' might be a nod to Avatar's 'Unobtanium'
    - The plot contains many references to Transformers Animated
    - A comment by Tucci's character hints that he was trying to create a robot that looked like Optimus (Nemesis Prime?)
    - Lucas's death might be a nod to many people disliking the 'comedy relief' in prior movies?

    I don't know :L

    Didn't make sense to me, Shane kind of just showed-up in the car afterwards and it was never brought-up again... guessing it was originally planned as a TF due to the marketing claiming it was an Autobot and listing it as an Autobot.

    They probably changed it to cut down on new characters I guess...

    I forgot about that! Yeah, noticed there was no driver so I instantly assumed it was a bot coming to assist OP, turns out it wasn't...

    I'm waiting for the super-sensitive parents groups to jump at that and go, "You see? You see? This movie is saying that playing with ponies leads to dangerous and violent tendencies! I was right!!"

    I have a feeling it was supposed to be a Transformer at some point, but for some reason that idea was ditched.

    It having no driver did throw me off, though.

    I didn't see the Nemesis Prime reference. They were just trying to recreate another Optimus without him being necessarily evil.

    I figured it was in Joyce's rant that he wanted Galvatron to look just like Optimus Prime, and also work in semi mode.

    Plus, the concept of a human-controlled 'Nemesis Prime' is similar to one episode of "Transformers: Prime," where the one rogue human group does succeed with making a duplicate of Optimus.

    The "Shockwaves" with multiple heads could be a subtle reference to how he was taken out in the previous movie. In DotM, Shockwave went down when the humans were able to destroy his single eye, leaving him blinded and incapacitated. During the intro for Stinger, it's mentioned that the idea behind the prototypes was to take the design of the original Transformer (in that case, BB) and improve it. How to improve Shockwave's design? Give him multiple heads, so if someone destroys the eye in one head, he won't end up blinded and helpless because the eyes in his other heads will remain functional.

    I like the way you think, but almost every Transformer in the previous movies died by getting their head blown off. To make this theory work, every Transformer should of had two heads.
