Corrected entry: When Agent Simmons is climbing the pyramid to catch up to the massive robot at the top, one shot shows him quite far away from the robot. In the next shot he is suddenly very near it.
Corrected entry: When Jetfire is in robot mode, white sidewinder missiles can be seen on his legs. Sr22's don't have any weapons.
Correction: First, Jetfire is a SR-71 not SR22. But after seeing this film again and even inspecting stills from the movie there are no missiles on Jetfire's legs. The "missiles" you see are just various parts that have come together in his robot mode that look like a tube with fins on it, but it is not a missile. A Sidewinder is an all white missile and the parts you see are from various parts of his aircraft mode and are various colors.
Corrected entry: Blackout is in the fight scene between Optimus, Starscream and Megatron in the woods, and has his face ripped apart by Optimus. But he was quite killed by aircraft fire and a rocket launcher in the final battle of the first film. This is definitely Blackout, and makes no sense.
Correction: This character is NOT Blackout. His name is Grindor and he used the same alt mode as Blackout. His head has an entirely different design than Blackout.
Corrected entry: In the desert battle at the end, Bonecrusher is seen entering the fight. He was decapitated by Optimus Prime in the first film.
Correction: Another Decepticon has chosen to take that form.
Corrected entry: Whenever we see Bumblebee in his robot mode his yellow body armour is scratched, dented, battered and blackened as if he has been in a battle, however when he transforms into his Camero form the body work is pristine. This occurs even when Bumblebee has been in action throughout the film. Driving in the desert doesn't even cause him to pick up any dust (unlike Skids and Mudflap).
Correction: These are Transformers. They can change their appearance to match form, shape or look. So Bumblebee has chosen to represent his robot form which may not match his pristine car form.
Corrected entry: When Mikaela is hot wiring the car to escape from the female Decepticon, Sam shouts, "Go, go go, Megan, go." That's the actress' real name, not the character's name of Mikaela. (00:54:10)
Correction: Incorrect, Sam said "Go, go, go, make it go."
Corrected entry: They show Devastator with two balls hanging around. Devastators are construction vehicles, but none of them have a wrecking ball on them, much less two. Also remember, Prime killed Demolisher in the beginning: he was there again at the main body of Devastator.
Corrected entry: In the night scene after 'the death scene', Sam says he will give himself up to the authorities. Bumblebee tries to convince him otherwise and transforms. He then revs his engine as Sam sits on his bonnet. You can see the crew member's silhouette in the Camaro as the car is revv'ed.
Correction: Duplicate entry and has been corrected many times. The transformers can project holographic images of drivers.
Corrected entry: It took a remarkably short amount of time to rebuild Megatron. Only a few minutes appeared to pass between the point that the Decepticons arrive at Megatron's corpse, the smaller Decepticon is killed and used for parts, and Megatron is completely repaired. The Allspark shard had not even been placed in Megatron yet, so it is amazing that he could have been fixed that fast without it.
Correction: Too fast? Compared to what? They are of unknown species with unknown healing capabilities. Besides, when we see the AllSpark shard stabbed into Megatron we see him react. In the next scene he is well into his ascent to the top. We don't know how much time has elapsed between.
Corrected entry: At the end, after Sam is told by the ancient Primes that the Matrix is "earned, and not found", then how is The Fallen able to easily take it away from them?
Correction: The Fallen is one of those ancient Primes who created it in the first place, so it's safe to say that he can handle the Matrix as much as he wants. Sam isn't, so he has to prove his worth.
Corrected entry: When the Matrix of Leadership disintegrates, Sam puts the fragments into a sock, but from that moment, until the Matrix is reconstructed, we see that everyone who was with Sam, who should be wearing socks, still has both of them on.
Correction: Just before after the Matrix disintegrates, we see Sam take his sock off and put the dust in it. He is wearing pants the rest of the movie so we never see any bare feet.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Optimus Prime is getting dropped off by the airplanes, right after you see Sam and his girlfriend walk off towards the drop zone, there is a scene in the nearby town. It's a split second scene, but you can see a graphical error in which a man is almost thrown to the ground from the top of a small building and then the shot cuts. (01:43:15)
Correction: It appears to be a soldier jumping from one building to another. Wildly at that. i.e. waving his arms and legs around. If I recall correctly, just before the screen switches, a blast can be seen on top of the building the soldier jumps off. He was anticipating the explosion and jumps.
Corrected entry: The Decepticons want to restore their supply of Energon by destroying the Earth's sun. The problem is, the resulting explosion (or supernova, or whatever), would almost instantly destroy the Earth and everything, including the Decepticons, on it.
Correction: They never state exactly what will happen to the Sun, just that it will be destroyed in order to create Energon. Presumably the sun's energies will be siphoned in some way to extract the energy required - they're not just going to blow it up.
Corrected entry: When Sam and his parents are packing the car to take him to college, they are packing a dark charcoal gray hatchback car. When they are at the college they are driving a light gray Chevy Trailblazer.
Correction: Sam and his parents live near the west coast of the country. It is quite possible that they packed the hatchback, drove to the airport, hoped on a plane and flew to the east coast where the college is located, rented the Trailblazer and drove to the school. Why would they have to show every part of the journey?
Corrected entry: After the soldiers' communications are cut off and order is given to launch the Predator, an MQ-9 Reaper is shown taking off.
Correction: The MQ-9 Reaper is also known as the Predator B and is commonly referred to as such by the manufacturer, the press, and even members of the military. Before it was officially given the name 'Reaper' the only name it had was Predator B. The Predator A is officially the MQ-1 Predator in service.
Corrected entry: When Bumblebee bumps into Sam, you can see the silhouette of the stunt driver in the car.
Correction: Transformers can project holographic images of drivers.
Corrected entry: When the Devastator is climbing up the pyramid and takes the top off, how does Simmons not get hit with all the debris that is falling down the pyramid?
Corrected entry: In the first movie, the Allspark Cube fell to Earth over a thousand years ago. In the second movie, it explains that the Transformers have been on Earth for about the same time (if not longer). If the Transformers have been on Earth for over a thousand years, why didn't they recover the Allspark Cube then?
Correction: First, plain and simple they weren't looking for it. As we've seen, when transformers look for a specific energy signature, they tend to ignore all other signatures. Also the Seekers as they're known, may have been in a dormant period (as Jetfire was) and not know the Cube was lost to Earth. While we see there were active Seekers in the late 19th and early 20th century, they weren't looking for the Cube and they had no knowledge it was here. Why would you look for something you didn't know was here in the first place?
Corrected entry: When Sam "dies" and the sergeant runs to him, Sam's eyes blink.
Corrected entry: The Matrix of Leadership only collapses to dust when Sam touches it. If the Matrix was indeed locked off for thousands of years, it would've collapsed the minute Bumblebee blasted the tomb open. Simmons even says that the sudden burst of air caused the key to collapse.
Correction: Simmons was simply assuming the fresh air after years of being sealed caused the Matrix to fall to dust. Bumblebee shooting the wall and the air had nothing to do with the Matrix disintigrating. As is later revealed, the reason the Matrix disintigrated was because Sam had not "earned" the Matrix in the eyes of the Primes, something he did when he put his life on the line for Optimus. As the Primes said in Sam's vision, "The Matrix must be EARNED, not found".
Correction: He is always seen at the edge of the Pyramid. The distance to the Devastator is relative to the camera angle.
