Plot hole: In the scene where Sam and Carly are attempting to communicate to the military through the UAV drone, Sam tells them all about the Decepticons' plan to bring Cybertron into our atmosphere. But Sam was never there when Dylan explained the plan to Carly, and there was no time for Carly to have told him.

Question: Are Carly's deceased brother (briefly glimpsed on a picture on Carly's dresser) and the British NEST soldier from Transformers 2 the same person?

Brad

Chosen answer: Yes, you can very briefly see him when Lennox is briefing everyone in the chopper, in the opening of Revenge of the Fallen.

Question: In the scene where Lennox introduces Sam and Carly to Director Mearing, he says that Carly "Knows all about the Autobots and knows Bumblebee". Yet, just one scene prior, she looks at Bumblebee like she's never seen him before. Does she know about the Transformers or not?

Brad

Chosen answer: Sam probably told her all about the Autobots but she had probably never seen Bumblebee 'in person.' Shock and awe.

Question: Of all the Transformers who die in this film, how many of them have died before in the Transformers canon? I'm looking for specific examples and how many times they've died.

Brad

Chosen answer: I can tell you that every single one of them died in the old animated series, eventually. They had to make room for new characters to sell toys of.

Audio problem: In the scene where Dylan is explaining the Decepticon's plan to Carly, there is a shot of Sentinel Prime moving the control pillar into the tower. During this shot, if you look to the left, you can see that Dylan's mouth is not moving when he is supposed to be talking.

Brad

Trivia: In the scene where Laserbeak is disguised as a copier, the sounds his buttons make are actually the Transformers theme song.

Brad

Continuity mistake: In the first scene, as Carly comes up the stairs, it is bright and sunny outside. As Carly leaves, it is raining, but when Sam walks outside and sees his parents, it's bright and sunny again.

Brad

Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the movie, when Dylan is pointing a gun at Sam, he has both hands on the gun. In shots of Sam, one of his hands is on his side.

Brad

Trivia: When Sam meets with Mearing after Soundwave captures Carly, there is a jet in the background. The tail number of the jet is N4500X. In the first film, Blackout's number was 4500X.

Brad

Trivia: When the Autobots are driving up to the spaceship as they are about to leave Earth, the music that is playing is a variation of "Arrival to Earth", the music that played when the Autobots first arrived in Transformers.

Suggested correction: This is not wrong but it also played when the Autobots returned. Did you know that the Bumblebee: The Score has been used in Bayformers?

Trivia: For those of you wondering what happened to Barricade from the first film, this movie clears it up. Barricade, albeit painted green, is shown in the final battle when Soundwave begins executing Autobot prisoners.[edited to remove unecessary spoilers]

Brad

Visible crew/equipment: During Sam's first meeting with Bruce, at one point, there is a reflection in the ornament on the left side of the desk that shows a large black mass moving in the same direction as the shot is moving.

Brad

Trivia: During the freeway sequence, you can see shots from The Island, another Michael Bay film. Most noticeably is when the Decepticon lands on top of the Dodge Magnum and it splits in half.
