Selections from IMDB:
- WILHELM SCREAM: When Megatron flicks a human across the street like a bug (Megatron says "Disgusting," and the human in question is wearing green and slams into a taxicab).
- Josh Duhamel's character Captain Lennox first appeared in the comic book "G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers."
- When Bumblebee is reactivated, one of the radio transmissions played back is a sound clip from Star Trek. The part of Megatron/Galvatron has been previously played by Leonard Nimoy and Frank Welker, who have also both played Spock on Star Trek.
- Sam's eBay name LadiesMan217 refers to Michael Bay's birthday: February 17th.
- Charlie Adler, who voices the Decepticon Starscream in this film, voiced the Autobot Silverbolt in "Transformers" (1984). He was the only other voice actor from the series besides Peter Cullen to get a role in this film.
- To portray the sentient cars, stunt drivers wore black and balaclavas to conceal themselves from view.
- Ironhide's gun is composed of 10,000 pieces (more pieces than any other robot), thus making him the bulkiest Transformer in the film.
- During filming, Mark Ryan acted as a stand-in for the Transformers on set, to give the actors a physical presence to react to/act against. He also ad-libbed characters during the film's post-production.
- According to one of the CGI artists that created the animated robots at ILM, if you took all the polygons (CGI building blocks) from all the autobots and decepticon models they created at the studio, and strung them end to end, they'd reach to the moon and back and you'd still have enough left over to build the coliseum in Rome two times.
