Continuity mistake: Hooper wears rimless eyeglasses, with the arms either attached at the upper corners of the lenses or at the sides of the lenses. If this didn't happen between shots within the same scenes, it could be presumed that Hooper has two different pairs of glasses and switches between the two, but they do indeed change between shots, such as when Mrs. Kintner slaps Brody, or even later, on the Orca. (00:36:05)
4th Apr 2010
Continuity mistake: In the secret room below the deli's meat locker, when Wheelie explains that the symbols are the "language of the Primes", Sam picks up two photos, but both photos don't just switch hands as stated in another entry, one changes entirely. In the fist shot Sam holds a photo of a jet, but in the close-up he holds a photo of an old plane, then in the following shot it's back to the jet. (01:19:45)
4th Apr 2010
Continuity mistake: In the secret room below the deli's meat locker, when Mikaela asks Wheelie for help, Wheelie looks at the first photos of the "language of the Primes", and the positions of the photos change in the following overhead shot though nobody has touched them. (01:19:35)
4th Apr 2010
Continuity mistake: When they're all in the secret room below the deli's meat locker, Simmons places the photos of the symbols in China, Egypt and Greece, and their positions change in the consecutive shots. (01:17:40)
4th Apr 2010
Continuity mistake: At the deli, when Sam, Mikaela and Leo are talking to Simmons, his mother shouts, "Moron, where's the white fish?" and there are four cans on the meat counter, but when it cuts to close-up there are only three. (01:16:10)
4th Apr 2010
Continuity mistake: When Sam, Mikaela and Leo arrive at Simmons's deli, in the exterior shot the deli has a single front door with its glass covered, and bars on the store's windows. However, when Sam walks in and when Simmons tries to walk away from Sam, we see there are double front doors with a meat poster on one, and there are no bars outside of the store's window. (01:14:55 - 01:16:30)
2nd Apr 2010
Continuity mistake: At the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, when Mikaela, Sam and Simmons follow Wheelie they reach Jetfire's enclosure with the large information plaque attached to the metal front bar, as Wheelie faces them. Next shot, that whole front horizontal bar is gone along with the information plaque, and Wheelie now faces Jetfire. Then when the Cube shard attaches itself to Jetfire the metal horizontal bar reappears, though the large plaque is still gone, and that bar vanishes once again in the shot from under Jetfire. (01:22:35)
2nd Apr 2010
Continuity mistake: When Megatron sarcastically asks Sam, "You remember me, don't you?" Sam stops on the landing between the two flights of stairs and puts his hands up, but in the next shot Sam, whose hands are still in mid-air, is standing much farther down on the second flight of stairs. (00:56:10)
2nd Apr 2010
Continuity mistake: When Alice is with Sam in the symbol filled dorm room, there is a large, twin, folding picture frame beside the bed, whose position changes from the right side to the left side of the windowsill, repeatedly. (00:51:20)
2nd Apr 2010
Continuity mistake: When Alice and Leo walk in on Sam in the symbol filled dorm room, on the wall at the head of Sam's bed are three small-to-medium sized framed photos of Sam and Mikaela hanging vertically. After Alice pushes Leo out of the room, the frames change. Now there are two large and medium frames hanging vertically and another medium frame hanging horizontally. (00:50:00)
2nd Apr 2010
Continuity mistake: When Sam rushes back to his dorm room, he paints the first symbol on the Bad Boys poster, then rips the top poster off the wall and paints large symbols on the wall in its place. That poster remains gone in all the following shots except for two, where it is back on the wall above the Bad Boys poster. First when Sam knocks over the microwave and then when Alice fully transforms on Sam's bed. (00:50:10)
1st Apr 2010
Continuity mistake: When Alice and Leo walk in on Sam's symbol filled dorm room, certain posters either suddenly appear on the wall, or vanish, or reappear ripped, between shots. (00:50:10)
1st Apr 2010
Continuity mistake: When Leo and Alice walk in on Sam in the symbol filled dorm room, there are large yellow symbols on the closet door which are partially erased when he knocks over the microwave, then back to the way it was originally. (00:50:00)
1st Apr 2010
Continuity mistake: When Grindor seizes the Saturn, Sam falls out of the door and in Mikaela's close-up Leo's arm hangs out of the rolled down back window, but in the next shot that window is rolled all the way up, only to be rolled down again in following shots. (00:55:10)
1st Apr 2010
Continuity mistake: When the Saturn has been dropped by Grindor, as the car falls with Mikaela, Sam and Leo inside, just before they crash land in the last interior shot, Mikaela's and Sam's headrests have vanished, and a large sticker has also suddenly appeared on Sam's visor in this shot. The headrests reappear when they are upside down. (00:55:35)
1st Apr 2010
Continuity mistake: The Saturn that Mikaela is driving has a moonroof that encompasses most of the roof, over the front and back seats. When the Decepticon Grindor captures them, in the interior shot looking up at Leo as Grindor seizes the Saturn, the car has a solid roof over Leo, which is also seen in the interior shot as they fall. (00:54:05 - 00:55:05)
1st Apr 2010
Continuity mistake: When Mikaela deliberately rams the Saturn into the pole, in the front shot both headlights are perfectly intact after the impact, but in following shots the car's left headlight is gone. (00:54:40)
1st Apr 2010
Continuity mistake: When Mikaela and Leo are in the silver Saturn, as Sam is hanging onto the passenger door, the rearview mirror is broken and hangs from the windshield, but is then intact once again.
1st Apr 2010
Continuity mistake: At the end, in the first aerial shot of the aircraft carrier, only a huge number '7' is imprinted on deck, but after the close-up of Mikaela and Leo there is also a huge number '4' imprinted on deck beside the '7', that is seen as Optimus and Sam stand beside one another. (02:21:25)
1st Apr 2010
Continuity mistake: In Astronomy 101, after Sam has written the symbols on the board, one symbol actually vanishes just after his professor's first close-up, and then reappears after the professor says, "I will not be punked in front of the dean." (00:45:10)
