    When I saw AOE in theaters, the subtitle "The Legend Exists" was off to the right, under Optimus, presumably to make it clear that it's Optimus who's speaking in Cybertronian. In the screencaps thread, it seems it was moved to the middle of the screen like usual subtitles. Huh.

    It was on the right because it would ruin the 3d depth of Grimlock's shoulder.

    I think the screencapper had the English SDH captions activated and caught them with the framegrabs, I'm sure Optimus probably still has the same subtitling from the theater run apart from those and maybe the timing was just right to catch one but not the other?

    When Hound throws the grenades aka 2 of them he said im running out of ammo.. And just after he uses his helmet as a weapon.. He takes it off and throws it towards a con killing it..

    Also Slug got Cybertronian letters top right of his face...

    Nope, I took the screencap and the subtitles were deactivated, they really changed that. Either way, the subtitles are in German, so if it were activated and I captured it, it wouldn't be "The Legend Exists", but "die legende existiert".

    Drift is bigger than Hound...

    ^ OMFG, I WISH.

    No, this was just at some beat-up old theater in the middle of nowhere. When Cade found Optimus someone seriously cracked a joke out loud that, "Hey, that theater's in better shape than THIS one!" and everyone had a good chuckle about it, lol.

    I had to drive my mom to the hospital nearby for an appointment again like I did two weeks ago and both times I was surprised to see it still playing there. The last time around I stole the marquee sign on the way IN but I was early and the place was packed so they put up a replacement and I stole that too on the way out, lol. I figured it had to be one of the last screenings there so what the hell, right?

    Little did I know it would still be playing there two weeks later! So I grabbed their replacement sign yet again, bwahaha. This time it was a re-purposed IMAX/3D marquee with that part blacked-out so they had something to use, at least. I'm a scoundrel, lol...w/e.

    Anyway, I was just hoping to be able to verify some of the random stuff here. Didn't see the the alleged pic of Rodimus with the Matrix anywhere and I was looking REALLY hard for it this time so if anyone knows where that's supposed to be then PLEASE specify so we can officially confirm or deny it!

    At least I was able to finally pinpoint exactly what part of what scene I saw Spock's picture on a pillar during, w00t.

    Now all I need is a screencap of it!

    :D 

    Ha! Sharp eyes. Well spotted, man!

    And thanks for clarifying. I noticed in the screencaps thread that a couple of them had the English SDH subtitles activated and just assumed it was one of those. My bad! Interesting that they'd bother tinkering around with something like that. Apparently they corrected Crosshairs and his missing dialogue, too. Did you happen to notice any other changes? I'm kind of hoping someone drops an extra F-bomb on the home release like Bruce Brazos did the last time around, lol.

    Regardless, thanks for the heads-up. Vielen danke!

    :)

    Bitte schön, buddy :) 

    I haven't watch it again yet, so I can't answer you now. But yeah, it's great they made little changes and fixed some problems (unfortunatly, plot holes and bad pacing can't be fixed (yes, it can, but it would cost more money 'cuz they would need to record again, and blah blah blah)). And lucky you, watched it again in a theater.

    P.S.: I'm not German, just was unlucky when I downloaded that :p [

    EDIT: Did someone see the "Glacier Bay Mining Co." written on the truck in Arctic in the beginning of the movie? Bay is in yellow, while the rest is white.

    EDIT 2: In the theatre version, there was a rock with chinese letters on it when Optimus was about to enter the ship to save the Dinobots. In the iTunes version, the symbols were changed to green and bigger letters with "Wulong China" written under it. Probably this was made because of the sue stuff.

    Watching the movie again in HD...I have to laugh at the scene when Hound gets spit in the face with jizz, and in the background, you can see Crosshairs waving his hand in front of his face like it stinks...ha! He even drops his guns in disgust!

    Also in the scene when they're on Lockdown's ship and they're talking about it taking off...Crosshairs takes his toothpick out of his mouth then puts it back in again later...random details like that I always like.

    Edit - Something else I noticed...

    [​IMG]
    His duster is really short in this scene! Doesn't even reach his ankles!

    [​IMG]
    And in the next scene, it's back to the normal length! The tips of the duster nearly reach past his ankles normally...

    The two girls that Lucas calls "June bugs" at the beginning of the movie also appear at the little league baseball game where Lockdown is. It's a different day and they're both wearing the same clothes lol.

    When Crosshairs jumps from the ship during the aerial battle, his duster extends. When he's flying it, it's shortened then extends when he gets up.

    Don't know if this is mentioned yet but if it is sorry. Didn't feel like reading through 18 pages.

    The movie features dinosaurs. John Goodman once narrated a documentary on dinosaurs.

    I've noticed that there that it's retractable, but at the end there he isn't extending it (which he can do pretty fast). That whole shot it's just short.

    Can anyone tell me what that scene is about where there are Transformers on the moon and what looks like they are guarding a base. I'm pretty sure that this part was not in DOTM.

    I'm talking about this part, when Joshua is showing Darcy what he can do with 'Transformium'.

    They're talking about future uses for the KSI Bots. I think they were suggesting colonizing the other planets/moons with this picture
