Movie goof - Longarm's phone number.
Just noticed when trying to take pictures of the tow truck that was the inspiration for Longarm in the movie. One side of the truck his phone number 1-800-555-MIKE, while others say 1-800-555-0199. Problem is MIKE translates to 6453, not 0199.
Anyone out there keeping a list of goofs for the movie?

Maybe it DID rain?
In the scene where Melaka gets out of the car to walk home, she never closes the door, but when Sam gets in the car her door is closed. Of course maybe Bumblebee closed his own door.

As Optimus is giving his speech after Ironhide hands him Jazz, the camera pans in on him and passes by some soliders standing there. You can see the shadow from the camera on one of them as it passes over.

Watching the DVD now there are several scenes where you can see the camera reflected in Optimus' vehicle mode chrome.

Good spot. At first I was thinking that maybe the company has two numbers because the door doesn't match the crane but it they're obviously different trucks used in production as the crane in one shot reads MIKE and in the other reads 0199.

Here's a goof for yah. Sam gets his pants ripped off by Frenzy. Well after the battle's over, Sam never goes to grab his pants or puts them back on, he just gets in the car, and in the next scene he has his pants back on. Just something i noticed. I was kind of thinking "is he going to grab his pants?"

Thing is that could just be a cut scene, much like the door being open then closed - it's unjusified, but possible they just didn't show us him put his pants back on.

The pants were next to mikeala purse. One is able to put 2 + 2 together and realize that they grabbed the pants as well. We don't need to see evertything on screen in order to realize it has happened.

Re: Movie goof - Longarm's phone number.
I just got the "Final Stand" Battle Screen at Target today. The Longarm in it has the phone number 1-800-555-0199 (whereas the previous Longarm did not) and it says Mike's Towing now instead of Orsen's. It also has a driver. The box tech spec even says that Towline was brought to life during the final battle for the Allspark and decided to help Bumblebee in the fight. I guess it wasn't Melaka's driving.

The only goof I really paid ttention to was how the vehicle modes remined untouched even after battle, not a scratch. It's only GM...

This occurs in the Final Battle Jazz figure too. Torn to shreds in robot mode, but with a shiny new alt mode. They just can't get enough of that product placement!

Since they seem to be made of living nanobots anyways, no need to Transform the same way twice.
