XIII

Corrected entry: In the opening scene, humans with hunting tools find Transformers building the Sun Harvester amid mountains so high they are covered in snow. This is to be the site of the Great Pyramids, and within some thousands (thousands, not millions) of years, the mountains have completely eroded down to sand dunes.

cornpone

Correction: It was never stated where this opening scene occurred relative to current day geography. Transformers remained on Earth since this time. During these thousands of years (not millions) the machine could easily have moved.

XIII

Corrected entry: When underneath the meat locker, Leo tries to touch Frenzy's head, which Simmons took form the Hoover Dam. Simmons stops him by saying that it is still radio active. In the first film, he takes a reading of Sam after two days after buying Bumblebee, and it shows fourteen rads. After two years, Sam would be long dead if he kept using Bumblebee as a car, or even keep it near him in the garage. Simmons' Geiger counter also gives out a reading when Optimus first meets Simmons, so it's not just Frenzy who is radioactive.

Friso94

Correction: I'm confused. What is the mistake? We know all Transformers emit some form of radiation. It was pointed out in the first movie. We also know it can be transferred to anything nearby, biological and non-biological. If it is deadly then they all would have worn bio-suits to Sam's house. I guess it is not harmful to humans.

XIII

Corrected entry: At the end of the first movie, Bumblebee speaks. He says "Requesting permission to stay with the boy." However in the sequel, he's back to talking by using his radio.

Ivan-sama

Correction: And is referenced in the movie. Sam believes he's "faking it" when Mikayla asks if "he's still having voice problems". Two years has passed. His voice may have fixed temporarily or maybe Sam is right, he's just faking it.

XIII

Corrected entry: In the scene after the F-16s air strike and 2000 pound bomb attack, Ironhide is seen running away from the explosions, you can see his weapons break and fall off. Yet just before the Fallen attacks the resurrected Optimus, you can see that Ironhide now has his weapons back on his arms.

Correction: Between Sam being worked on and Optimus being revived, there is plenty of time for Ratchet to retrieve them or even re-generate new weapons (we still have little understanding of their species).

XIII

Corrected entry: During the escape in the desert, Agent Simmons tazes Sam's roommate and as he screams it cuts to a another shot of him passed out already but he is still heard screaming.

Correction: Yes screams are heard. It could be Sam or (less likely to be) Mikayla. They are witnessing their friend get zapped in the throat.

XIII

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.

Correction: He is always seen at the edge of the Pyramid. The distance to the Devastator is relative to the camera angle.

XIII

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.

XIII

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.

XIII

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.

punkyjack

Correction: Duplicate entry and has been corrected many times. The transformers can project holographic images of drivers.

XIII

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.

XIII

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)

Elsek

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.

XIII

Corrected entry: After of one of the Decepticons has cut off the top of the Khafre pyramid (the one with the remaining original outer stone layer at the top), you can see it complete later in a scene with the S7 agent.

Correction: Another 'mistake' entry has made reference to the Khafre pyramid being shown in the background. However in the movie, it is portrayed as a different pyramid. The pyramid that Devastator rips apart remains in that state for the entire sequence.

XIII

Corrected entry: In the scene where Mikaela smashes Alice into the lamp post, a large chunk of stone falls on the hood of the car. In the next shot, it's gone.

Brad

Correction: To be exact, a big piece of outer covering of the lamp post falls onto the car. The piece is notably thin and lightweight. An unknown amount of time has passed until the next time we see the front of the car. It has enough time to slide off the windshield. The issue of the piece is a thin piece of the lamp post is a totally different matter and could also be a mistake in itself but not in reference to this mistake.

XIII

Corrected entry: When Mikeila and Leo were running away from Megatron, they didn't bring the box with the Decepticon. Then when they were with Agent Simmons, the box was on the Camaro.

Correction: A significant time has passed between the two scenes mentioned. Once the Autobots save Sam, they separate and head in different directions. After the 'fight sequence' there is plenty of time for Mikeila (and anyone for that matter) to go retrieve 'Wheels' inside the box.

XIII

Corrected entry: When Sam Witwicky touches the Allspark with his bare hands, it has consequences. He touched the Allspark with his bare hands in the first movie without any problems.

Correction: It is made clear during the movie that when the Allspark transferred its 'knowledge' to Sam because it was no longer 'whole'. In the first movie, Sam held the Cube when it was whole and complete. When he touched the device in this movie, the Cube transferred its knowledge then. The logistics behind this are not relevant. The Allspark was a powerful and unknown device.
