    "They will rain down like visitors from heaven, Hallelujah!" is used in the first movie, directly after the Orson Welles quote.

    The two Forrest Gump lines are from ROTF, not TF07, in the scene after Optimus dies, after the other two lines.

    I feel like "Hey you guys" from AOE might be from the old Electric Company show, but not sure.
