Having just looked at the Scrubs clip linked on this site, I got to thinking how about if people list the TF refernces they've seen in TV shows and films. Clips would be nice.
Scrubs: mural (was there a previous TF pic in Scrubs?)
Family Guy: Soundwave, Jewish episode with Optimus Prime, Symbol change rip off using Peter's face
The JCB song
The Great Outdoors: A John Candy Film. His son is seen to be playing with Sixshot
Vice Versa: Judge Reinhold is reading a TF comic in his office
Spaceballs: a very hard to see pic of Optimus Prime is among the Spaceballs merchandise scene

Watching the episodes of The Simpsons where Bart and Milhouse run the comic book store and when they start fighting, they both grab a toy that they transform into an ax and a watering pail

While watching Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, I hastily captured a screenshot during the episode 'Captivated.' I wonder where that truck idea came from...

A semi with a red cab and a gray trailer with a blue stripe - it seems vaguely familiar for some reason.

Unfortunately, the truck was used for evil. The criminals captured young women in order to sell their body parts and stored the girls in the truck.

I think the movie is called "Santa Sleigh" or "Christmas Sleight" but Bill Goldberg plays Santa Clause. Optimus Prime was referenced (I forgot the character's name).

Have you tried using YouTube's search feature? I haven't actually looked for the clips myself so I can't provide you with links, sorry.
I'm not sure if this one counts because it's from a game, but I'll post it anyway. In World of Warcraft, go to Uldaman. You'll find an NPC named Grimlock, who will say "Me Grimlock, King!"

There's another Family Guy one where Stewie asks Starscream to protect him from the Tooth Fairy, even if he is wrongly colored lol

Morgan Webb mentioned Optimus Prime's trailer once on X-Play, but I forgot what they were talking about.
