First off, this is not knocking the movie at all. Most movies have goof ups in them and I just have fun catching them.

I'll start off with the first one I found.

When Sam is tryng to get away from Bumble bee on his Mom's bike and he goes into the parking garage. Then he spots Barricade and starts riding over to him. As he's riding over to him, moustache man is not in the car. Then the door swings open and he gets thrown off the bike. As the door closes, you see moustache man sitting in the driver's seat of Barricade without wearing sunglasses. Nothing wrong with that as he's a hologram and they can appear and disappear at will. But, once Sam gets up, he's looking into the windshield talking to moustache man, and if you look on top of the dash, you'll see his sunglasses sitting there. If he's supposed to be a hologram, then why are there physical glasses sitting there?

In the "happy time" discussion, we see Sam empty handed, and then a shot of his mom is seen. When we next see Sam and his dad, Sam has a box under his arm.


In the house, Simmons has a ring on his right ring finger. When he waves to Prime nervously, the same ring is now on his right pinky.

The ring was actually a USMC ring, which I thought was a nice little character detail.

EDIT- link contains spoilers, they're marked on the IMDB page

Haven't checked to see if all y'all's are in there. IMDB isn't always complete, YMMV. It's fun to pick out goofs, even in a great movie like this.

in the scene where bb breaks down, when sam gets back in bumblebee and trys to start it both doors and the hood is open, after he starts the car he jumps out to shut the hood we now see that bumblebee has closed his passenger side door for sam

*checks imdb*

wow thats not there yet? i spotted that the first time i saw the movie

Movie Goofs are fun to notice. The factual ones I could really care less about. It's the ones like the door closing and the ring switching fingers and stuff that are funny.

Sorry you guys, I made a BIG mistake. After watching my movie for the 15th time since purchasing it, I have to take back my goof I spotted. I looked closer and I believe what I perceived to be sunglasses were in fact gauge pods in the Saleen. Sorry, but thanks for posting some of the goofs you spotted. Keep them coming.

I dont think this is a goof, just a funny fan nod. When Jazz is scanning the solstice, there is a white Mazda displayed next to it. Some nice lil Alternators love. Another would be toy nod (or maybe the other way around) But during the final fight with Blackout when he chops the hell out of yellow car, Its an Aveo, Swerve anyone?

I'm not sure if it would count as a goof, but when I was trying to see if the truck Prime scanned already had the autobot emblem on the grill, I noticed that Prime doesn't have it when he finishes scanning. Whether it hasn't been replicated yet, or it's an actual goof I guess will go unknown, but still, felt it was worth mentioning.

Not all of idmb facts are true



I watch this scene and I never noticed a half donut, there were always multiple.



Wrong and its called light reflection and actually paying attention.



Wrong again! If they actually paid attention you can see that its still an Automatic and yes, you can downshift on an Automatic Transmission.

One that was a easily noticable miss was the blatant reving of BB's engine. BB is an Automatic and if the engine were reved liked that while driving he would accelerate/lunge not sound cool. I believe this was in the scene where Megan gets dropped off at her house.

I knew they couldn't be sunglasses. They just didn't look right.

And if anybody watched the featurette on the Decepticons knows about Bonecrusher's tiny fork. IMO, to keep consistency, they should have put the big one he has when he starts flipping cars on the highway on him at all times from his roll call appearance to when he transforms. It's a lack of consistency just like G1

One continuity error that bugs me is Sam and Bumblebee at the end right before the "I'm not leaving you" moment. Cuz it sure seems like he's about to leave at a couple points, but then all of a sudden he's sitting there on the ground.

Heh, that one bugs me too, he was basically running around in a bit of a panic - then, the next thing you know, he's just sitting there...

Sam point's out Barricade during the final chase scene but he doesn't take part in the battle.

And Frenzy plants this world crippling virus but no one fixes even though there are half a dozen hacker characters taking up 45 min of screen time.

Yup - bugs the Blot outta me too, everytime I watch that scene. Cause he runs off screen like he's gonna do something (get Ratchet, talk to someone, give Starscream the finger, etc...), but all he does is run to sit down in front of BB like he's been there for 5 minutes in a stunned shock.

Also in that scene, all of the cars (in both directions) are driving down the wrong sides of the road. Since it was filmed at either dusk/dawn, I can only assume that Bay did this so that he could get the shot with the low sun-angles with the intention to flip the negative in post-production so that traffic would be on the correct sides of the road (something that was apparantly forgotten by the time editing occured).

one thing i noticed is that the first time the autobots get their new car modes and introduce themselves... they are already battle damaged in robot mode.... i understand bumble bee had a fight, but even still, since he scanned a new body, wouldn't one assume that since its 'brand spankin new' his robot form would look new also???

where was prime when the last fight was going on?
where did jazz, ratchet and ironhide go and why didn't bb and prime go too when the sector 7 guys were comin? prime could have let sam and mikaela get in bb and they all take off. instead he put em on his shoulder and hid under a bridge?

He was killing Bonecrusher

really, wow so it took him that long to catch up? I mean how long did they fight? bc tackle op they fall off bridge op stabs bc. it took him 15 minutes to catch up from a 3 minute fight. okay, if u say so.

Well, he had to find his way back to where he was before he fell so he could get to the city. Otherwise he might have been there a lot sooner.

those are alot of errors

no more than any other movie

Fix'd

You don't like the movie. WE KNOW!
Most of us, however, do. So could you please, finally, allow us to discuss it in peace?

Even Citizen Kane has errors you know. The movie touted as the greatest ever?

RE-FIX'D

Most big budget hollywood movies have little errors like this strung throughout them... Just as many in each LOTR movie, or any of the Harry Potters. Look up the facts before you post, dude.

Lucius Pusey is right, TRY IT SOMETIME!
