errors you might have not notice in the movie.
Continuity: In the beginning of the film, when all of the Air Force Soldiers are on a transport helicopter, USAF Tech Sergeant Epps is wearing a pair of Oakley Monster Dog sunglasses on his head for the first minute or so. When it flashes back to him during conversation, they are gone.
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Sam says his Great-great-grandfather made his expedition in 1897. However, when Frenzy finds the article about the expedition on Air Force One, the newspaper article had a date of 1895.
Crew or equipment visible: When Sam Witwicky arrives at the party, the camera crane can be briefly seen as a shadow.
Continuity: When Sam and Mikaela are in the older version of the Bumblebee/Camaro, there are insert shots of the odometer & gages/dashboard which are actually from the updated Camaro.
Factual errors: The movie states that it is the present day. However, the aircraft carriers of the naval battle group are still shown to have F-14 Tomcats parked on their decks. The F-14 was retired in March of 2006.
Factual errors: During the attack on the Qatar base you see M1 Abrams tanks being thrown towards a line of M60 tanks. The Marines were the last active duty branch to use M60s and quickly upgraded to M1s after the first Gulf War in the early 90s.
Continuity: When Mikaela hot wires a truck to transport BumbleBee, the truck has an automatic shifter in the center of the truck. When she goes to put in park after driving Bumblebee into the ally, she shifts into park through a shifter in the steering column.
Factual errors: When they are explaining that Hoover had the dam built, it was actually FDR that had the dam built during the depression in 1936. It was called the boulder dam and then later named after Hoover.
Revealing mistakes: During the first ride that Mikaela takes in Sam's car, both windows are obviously down during their conversation. Yet, neither one has any wind blowing on them. Their hair never moves.
Errors in geography: In the beginning, during the Qatar scenes, you can see mountains in the background. The country of Qatar has no mountains and the highest elevation is 295 feet above sea level.
Factual errors: The Secretary declares that all bases have been set to DEFCON Delta. "Our highest state of Readiness." DEFCONs or Defense Conditions have numerical levels from 5 to 1. DEFCON 1 being the highest and allows the use of Nuclear Weapons. President Kennedy Set DEFCON 2 during the Cuban Missile Crises which is historically the highest level ever reached.
Factual errors: The uniforms worn by Captain Lennox's team have patches on their right shoulders from the 82nd Airborne "All Americans" Division, indicating they served with the 82nd in combat. The "Airborne" tab has been incorrectly replaced with a "Ranger" tab. The "Ranger" tab is worn above the "Airborne" tab on the left shoulder when deployed with the unit and it is not used on the right shoulder.
Audio/visual unsynchronized: After Sam is chased by the dogs, and his car is circling him, He yells "Take the stupid keys", but is clearly mouthing something else.
Continuity: Mojo, Sam's dog, is seen with a cast on his front left paw in the movie, but when Sam's parents are interviewed during the credits, there's a bandage on the dog's right paw.
Continuity: When Sam first picks Mikaela up and the car stops driving she has her hair up and curly, but later when he drops her off at home her hair is straight.
Crew or equipment visible: As Ron drives Sam past the Porsche dealership, the reflection of the camera car filming them is briefly visible on the dealership's windows.
Continuity: When in the air, Air Force One is a 747. On the ground, however, it is suddenly a KC-135 painted to look like Air Force One. You can see the refueling boom when Barricade pulls up.
Continuity: Bumblebee's windows change between tinted and untinted.
Continuity: When Otimus Prime and Bonecrusher are fighting, they fall from a bridge onto a highway. A car with a mother and child swerves in order to avoid hitting the Transformers, and ends up so in an angle so that in order for the mother and son to see the transformers they would have to look out of the passenger window. After the cut scene of them swerving to the side, the camera (from inside the vehicle) shows the Transformers fighting right in front of the front windshield.
Factual errors: The concept of sabot rounds being fired from 40mm grenade launchers, such as those used by Capt. Lennox and his men along with Sector 7 agents, is scientifically impossible. Sabot rounds, such as those fired by the M1 Abrams main battle tank, typically have a muzzle velocity in the range of 1,400 m/s to 1,850 m/s. A 40mm grenade, like the new MEI Hellhound, for example, only has a muzzle velocity of around 80 m/s. This would be insufficient for a kinetic energy projectile, as their extremely high velocity is what provides their excellent armor-piercing capability.
Continuity: When Sergeant Epps snaps a picture of Blackout during the attack at Qatar, it is night time. Later, when John Keller is being showed a picture from the Mars landing and the picture that Epps took, both photos contain a transformer with the sun overhead. The one from Qatar is the exact same photo from the rover just zoomed out.
Crew or equipment visible: When they go to the lake party a cameraman is visible in Mikaela's boyfriend's truck's mirror.
Errors in geography: At the end when the dead decepticons are being dumped into the abyss in the Atlantic the camera shows a stern view of a US guided missile destroyer. The ship's name and hull number are visible and it proves to be the USS Shoup (DDG 86). The Shoup is a Pacific fleet based ship and would not be in the Atlantic, showing that this scene was filmed in the Pacific Ocean not the Atlantic.
Factual errors: When the Pentagon sends a Predator drone to provide footage of the Rangers' battle with Scorponok, it is in fact an RQ-4A Global Hawk that is shown in the film.
Continuity: When Sam is laying on his bed listening to the radio he is wearing only his boxer shorts, however, in the next scene as he runs to the kitchen he is wearing his jeans. The audio of the radio station never breaks or jumps forward so he clearly doesn't have time to put any jeans on.
Continuity: When Sam first encounters Barricade, the sun is still up, but setting; minutes later, as he and Bumblebee are escaping, it is suddenly night.
Continuity: After all landlines and cell phones are to be shutdown, people in the background of the fight scene in the city are seen using their cellphones.
Continuity: Mikaela's nail polish appears and disappears.
Continuity: When Bumblebee locks in Sam and Mikaela, the locks are seen to lower so that they are almost flush with the top of the door frame. However, in the next shot of Sam, the door lock is sticking up above the door quite a bit.
Continuity: When Sam leaves his house with the Transformers his is carrying his brown jumper. The scene then changes to him talking with the Transformers and he has his brown jumper on. Then the angle changes, and he has his jumper over his shoulder again.
Continuity: When Mikaela is getting arrested, she does not have her handbag, but when she is in the police/FBI/Sector 7 vehicle, she has it.
Continuity: The taxi Maggie takes to her hacker friend's house is different from the taxi shown in the next scene.
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The amount of donut on Glen's plate while he and Maggie were in the interrogation room keeps changing. However, we have no perception of how much time passes while Glen and Maggie are being held. Thus we do not know how many plates of donuts are placed in the room or how many Glen eats.
Crew or equipment visible: As Sam and Miles go down the hill towards the lake, the shadow of the camera and crane are visible moving across the lakeside.
Continuity: When driving the tow truck in the final scene, they dramatically hit a garbage can which disappears when they stop the vehicle.
>>> WARNING: Here Be Spoilers <<<
Goofs below here contain information that may give away important plot points. You may not want to read any further if you've not already seen this title.
Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: In the fight between Megatron and Optimus Prime, there is a yellow Pontiac GTO shown for a second before it is torn in half. Before its destruction, the GTO's rocker panel is clearly already in two pieces which are not properly attached to the vehicle.
Continuity: SPOILER: During the scene where Frenzy is trying to get into the barricaded room at the dam, Frenzy falls from the ceiling, crashing through glass. However, the same glass has already been broken a few minutes earlier when humans were grabbing the guns from the glass box.
Continuity: SPOILER: At the big fight scene where the Autobots and the Decepticons are fighting in the street. Mikaela hot wires a truck to transport BumbleBee. When she hot wires the car, it clearly has an automatic gearshift. Later in the scene where Mikaela is driving and bumblebee is shooting, the car has manual gears. Seen where she gears down to drive faster.
Continuity: SPOILER: When Bumblebee takes the car over, after Sam picks up Mikaela and parks, she opens the door to go look under the hood. You can clearly see in the foreground of the shot that there's a black mark on the passenger side door/fender. It disappears in the next shot and is never seen again.
Continuity: SPOILER: When Mikaela Banes runs to Sam Witwicky before he runs to the building to pass the cube off to the helicopter. When she is telling Sam that she is glad she got in the car with him, Bumble Bee is no longer harnessed down on the tow truck.
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): SPOILER: Megatron's remains are later buried in the Laurentian Abyss. It is said in the movie to be the deepest section of ocean in the world. However, the real fact is that the deepest point in the ocean is Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench, located in the Pacific.
Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: During the chase on the highway, one tourist bus is hit by Bonecrusher and splits in two, revealing that there are neither seats or passengers riding it.
