Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

How can the Allspark, being such a huge massive structure, turn into a hand-held cube but still be light enough to be carried by a human? Even if the alien technology is so great that it can fold into itself that many times, the laws of physics still apply, and all that mass is still there. It would still weigh many tons. [Are you going to say that cars transforming into 20ft tall robots are plot holes also? This is a fiction movie, no one knows what the Allspark is made out of or what it is possible of doing. On a side note, the Allspark being light enough to be carried by humans is completely in line with the comic series.]

Bumblebee following Sam to the used car lot so he can be purchased is a cute scene, but would create a bevy of off-camera problems. For one, the lot doesn't actually own the car, as Bernie Mac points out, so turning over the pink slip and ownership papers would be extremely problematic and would grind the movie to a halt as the characters try to figure out what is going on. [Maybe Bernie Mac's character is a bit shady and ready to deal with hot merchandise.]

In the scene where Sam's great-great-grandfather and his crew are freeing their ship from the ice, several of the sailors are speaking modern English; they talked rather similar to how the Americans talk now. There was no modern English back in the 1800's. [As is absolutely standard with historically set films, present day language is used to make the scene accessible to modern day audiences. This is a standard movie convention and, as such, is not considered a mistake.]

Whenever Tom from Sector Seven goes to the Secretary of Defense, he shows him a picture of the image from mars, then he shows him the image from the base attack and shows it as daylight. This is incorrect because when the man took the photo of the base attack, it was dark outside. [Its likely that the equipment that the US Military uses would automatically lighten up the picture to show as much detail as possible.]

Time

When all the Decepticons call out their names and rally on Megatron, Blackout calls his name from the desert where he attacked the US base. However he gets to Megatron as quickly as the others do, despite being a relatively slow helicopter. How did he traverse half the globe in such a short time? [How do we know what desert Blackout is at? After the Air Force One attack, the Decepticons knew Megatron was somewhere in the USA, therefore Blackout was probably already en route to the USA and by the time they gave rank, Blackout was over a US desert. The sand dunes of California, Utah & Navada look very similar to those in the Middle East.]

Time

When Mikaela is driving the tow-truck with Bumblebee in tow, she starts to reverse so that Bumblebee can shoot. Tow truck regulation specify that when a truck is reversing, it must emit a beeping noise, however when she is reversing down the street, there is no beeping. [The semi truck I drive is also supposed to beep while backing, but it doesn't. There is a short in the wiring and it only does it intermittently. Besides, where I live, there is no regulation for tow trucks to beep while backing. Not all jurisdictions have the same regulations.]

Time

The second time Optimus Prime asks Sam about Captain Witwicky's glasses, his great-grandfather (as established earlier in the movie), Sam calls him "my grandfather". [Not really a mistake, I never referred to my great-grandfather as "great-grandfather", I always called him grandpa. So Sam could've just been doing the same thing.]

It is hard to notice, but there is one scene which displays Starscream's disloyalty to Megatron (often alluded to, both in the film and in other Transformers media): in the final battle, amidst the confusion, you can vaguely notice Starscream transforming into his F-22 form, joining the other F-22s (from the military) and shooting Megatron, then transforming back into his Decepticon self. [This is hotly debated. In a recent convention interview, the writers themselves were asked if Starscream fires on Megatron in that scene, and they say that it is only a rumor, and was never written in the script as such. After watching the scene frame-by-frame, the movie footage alone is inconclusive.]

Time

Optimus Prime says that they learned English from the Internet. However, Megatron was frozen before the Internet, and he knows English as soon as he is free. [All the Transformers connect to the internet by an almost instantaneous Wi-Fi like link. Megatron would have done so, as well, while he was thawing out.]

Time

In the scene where Megatron mentioned "Starscream, you disappoint me yet again", it is the same line that Megatron always use in the cartoon series when starscream always failed in his mission. [Duplicate entry.]
