Trivia
Megatron's original name D-16 is a reference to the Japanese serial number of the original Generation 1 Megatron toy released by the company Takara in 1984. The letter D is short for Destron, the Japanese name of the Decepticons used in older media, while the number 16 denoted the original Megatron toy as the sixteenth release in the Japanese toy line.

Goofs
When the Iacon 5000 contestants transform for the race, a purple jet Transformer already has a pair of red light effects floating behind his back, attached to nothing, before he turns into a jet.

Quotes
Elita -1: Why is B gagged?
Shockwave: He wouldn't stop talking.
Elita -1: Even when he was unconscious?
Shockwave: ESPECIALLY when he was unconscious!

Crazy credits
There is a mid-credits scene featuring B-127, and a post-credits scene featuring Megatron.

Alternate versions
Several international releases of the film (including the UK) changed any mention of Bee's "knife hands" to refer to them as "sword hands" instead. It's likely that Paramount had changed the film for those territories.

Badassery all the way!

I never expected an animated movie to be this good! I wanted to watch this for the nostalgia and I got it. There were no characters I found annoying or disliked...they were all amazing and fun to watch on the big screen! The plot was incredible and the pacing was just spot on. There was not one second that was wasted and the story moved pretty quickly without sacrificing the necessary character arcs.

I loved Chris Hemsworth's voice acting - who would've thought that Thor would be great as Optimus Prime? And Scarlet Johansson as Elita was fabulous. Jon Hamm certainly fit the role as Sentinel but the scene stealer was definitely Key as B aka Bumblebee!

Definitely worth watching. I miss those Saturday morning cartoon extravaganza and this really reminded me of the good old days back in the 80s.
