In the scene where Sam and his friend go to the lake party, when they are leaving, Sam's friend crawls through the window to get into his car. Then the shot goes over to show his friend through the drivers side window, and the passenger door is standing open, which would not make sense if he just crawled through the window. [Why not ? There is enough time for him to get seated and open the door so he can put his feet up. Just because he crawled through the window it doesn't mean he can't open the door. His friend is acting like a fool so jumping through the window then opening it a moment later fits his character.]

In the scene where we first see Megatron in the Hoover Dam, they go on about many technologies reverse engineered from him. and one of those is space flight. The problem is that the United States weren't the first ones into space, the Soviets were. Unless Soviet scientists could sneak into a top secret military bunker, research Megatron long enough to reverse engineer everything and sneak out unnoticed. [Or the US got its better space tech from Megatron while the Soviets, using their own tech, started out first, but were quickly surpassed. It is said we got our space tech from Megatron. They don't say we weren't beaten into space by the Soviets.]
In the very first scene we see two V-22 Ospreys flying the problem is that they still have their props up and flying horizontally this is a mistake because they are only like that during takeoff/landing then at a sufficient altitude then they switch position the fly horizontally. [They were flying fairly low to the ground in that scene, so by your own account there is no mistake because they were not at a "sufficient" altitude.]
In the scene when Scorponok first attacks the soldiers, he kills a soldier wearing glasses and a boonie hat, but the same soldier reappears running down the hill as Scorponok jumps out of the sand. [The soldier that was killed by Scorponox was wearing regular eyeglasses, which are clear. The soldier seen afterwards running down the hill was wearing dark sunglasses. And several soldiers wear that same type of hat.]
When Sam and his dad pull into the car dealership you can briefly see the camera crew in the reflection of the window. [What is reflected in the window is a portion of another car pulling in the lot behind Sam and his father. At no time is a camera or crew visible-just a car, which for all we know may have been just another customer pulling in to browse the lot.]
Sam's pants get torn off by Frenzy but when Bumblebee kicks him and Mikaela out of the car in the tunnel so he can get a makeover, Sam's pants are back on even though he did not pick them up from the ground. [They show a short shot of their items being picked up. Also, it's not a continuous shot, there's plenty of time before the tunnel scene for Sam to have retrieved his pants.]
During the final battle scene Optimus tells the main actor to take "The Cube" to a certain building. When he arrives at the train station (Which is the abandoned train station in Detroit.not L.A.) he gets to the roof not only do you see the L.A. skyline, but the roof is full of new air conditioning units, and statues. None of these are visible on a abandoned building in the opening shot. [The first shot of the building is at street level, so the AC units couldn't be viewed from that angle, but the statues are visible in the shot at 2:02:26.]
When Bumblebee, in car form, shows up on the car lot, nobody on the lot recognizes it, indicating that the store never owned it, yet the salesmen still sells it. How is it possible for him to sell a car his store doesn't own? It wouldn't have the proper paperwork needed for things such as its registration. [It's clear in the movie that the owner of the dealership is not exactly on the up-and-up, and he will just find a way to "fix" the paperwork.]
When Sam is driving Mikaela home, nothing at all is visible outside. The only thing visible outside of the vehicle are bright, white screens. The conditions outside are obviously right for there to be something else visible other than white screens. [Actually, judging by the lighting of the scene, it is entirly possible that there is images outside the window that have been "blown out" by the lighting. Hence, not a mistake.]
When at the Hoover Dam, they all hop into their cars telling everyone, that they need to move "The Cube" into the next town, 20 miles away. When they arrive they are in Downtown L.A. which is about 500 miles away from the Hoover Dam. [The town they drive to is called Mission City as stated by the AF captain. While it may look like L.A., its not. L.A. was simply used as a set for a different city altogether. It's done in movies all the time.]
Devastator was the character's working title, and was intended to be called "Brawl." This was left in the theatrical release, but will be corrected on DVD. The reason for this that the Constructicons, which form Devastator, are in the running for appearing in the sequel. [After watching the DVD it is confirmed that the Brawl/Devastator error was not fixed. I just finished veiwing the collectors edition 2 disk release and Devastator was still in the subtitles.]
In the scene where Sam Witwicky meets Barricade and hits the door and falls on the ground, in the shot after he says "Ow, that hurt" you can see a driver inside Barricade closing the door. [You're supposed to see the driver. Who do you think Sam is talking to when he gets up ? It is the same driver you see in the drivers seat when Barricade picks up Frenzy at the airport. It is a "hologram" to represent a driver/police officer.]
Bumblebee's yellow exterior is extremely dirty when he is transformed, but not when he is in the car form. [We've seen Bumblebee change the entire exterior of his car to another model so we're aware he can make the car look how he wants. Maybe the car he copied was clean and he has no reason to change it.]
When the F-22 Raptors attack the transformers on the ground, if you look closely, the missiles are AIM-120 AMRAAMs used strictly for Air-to-Air engagements. [Actually AMRAAM missiles are homing missiles, they contain a guidance system that locks on to what the crew is targeting. The only reason they're not fired at ground targets is because there usually isn't anything to lock onto. However, maybe the military are aware that the missiles could lock onto something big, metal and electronic like a transformer.]
Okay, it's been established that the Transformers have an incredibly fast wireless uplink, and indeed the decepticons communicate across the world wirelessly. Yet the autobots resort to speech (English, no less) when they discuss their battle plan after obtaining the glasses, despite there being no humans present. [Some reason why they shouldn't? The Transformers may be machine-based, but they're still living beings, with intelligence, emotion and so forth. Seems entirely reasonable that they'd prefer the more personal nature of direct speech when they're together, rather than just downloading stuff into their brains.]
In the scene where Sam is looking at himself in the mirror, there is a toxic waste/skull and cross bones picture under it, with a white area under that. The camera cuts, Sam does something, then it cuts again to show the mirror; now there is writing in the white area. [The words never left, the different shots are at diffeent angles, that way, in some shots, showing the words, and others, hiding them. It's not a mistake.]
When Bumbleebee and Barricade fight Barricade was defeated and destroyed. However, later in the film when Frenzy discovers the cube, he makes contact with all Decepticons and the following scenes show them all responding. One shot shows Barricade in car mode responding to the call and in good condition! [You never actually see that Barricade was destroyed. Bumblebee and Barricade were fighting when Sam and Mikaela were being chased by the little transformer. You never see the outcome of the fight, Bumblebee just comes back to Sam after the fight. It's completely likely (seeing as how Barricade shows up later) that he just admitted defeat and ran off. The "good condition" really doesn't mean much either. Bumblebee is a pristine 2009 camaro when in car form, but he's still roughed up when he's in his Transformer form (as is Optimus and all most of the others).]
During the scene in which the four autobots crash-land, one of them lands in a field after bouncing off a ridge. In the next shot, Sam and Mikaela walk over and watch the autobot start to transform. However, this can't be possible. All four autobots flew over Sam and Mikaela as they were standing in front of the building with Bumblebee, so they would have to walk through the field that the autobot landed in in order to see it. Also the distance that the autobot travelled once it hit the floor must have been a good few hundred metres, which would take several minutes to walk through, by which time the autobot would have been long gone. For example, the one that landed in the DVD store transformed and was gone within a couple of minutes, before the kids with the camcorder got there. [Perhaps this autobot didn't transform as fast as the others (Optimus Prime takes a while to transform the first time also), or maybe he took his time since he didn't land in a highly populated area (unlike the one in the DVD store), or quite possibly the crash stunned this particular Autobot and it took him a minute to get his wits back. Either one is possible, only one is neccessary.]
Blackout's arm-mounted Gatling gun sounds completely different on the two occasions it is fired. At the beginning of the film while he is shooting up the base in Qatar, it fires long concentrated bursts with a deep noise. During the final battle when he is firing at the soldier on the motorbike, the rounds are going everywhere (conveniently missing the guy on the bike) and the noise is a much higher pitch. [Blackout is sneaking up behind Optimus Prime and Megatron. The weapon he used in Quatar was shown to be very destructive, and Blackout is extremely loyal to Megatron. So it would make sense that he switched to a lesser weapon to use on Optimus to reduce the chance of hurting his superior with little time to change when he is blindsided by the soldier.]
In the scene where Sam and Mikaela are looking at Bumblebee's engine, both of Bumblebee's doors are open when Mikaela starts walking away. Sam jumps in the car and pleads with it to start, and the shot changes to side view from passenger side of him trying to start. Here both doors are open as well. But when the shot changes to Bumblebee starting up and Sam jumps out to close the hood, the passenger door is closed. Sam doesn't know his car is an alien robot yet, so Bumblebee wouldm't risk blowing his cover by closing the door himself. [Yes he would and did. At the car yard Bumblebee opened passenger door and knocked the other car all by itself. He also caused all the windows of all the cars in the yard to explode using his radio which also always plays up. Seems fairly odd that a car would do all this by itself. A door closing by itself wouldn't be that odd by comparison.]
