I just noticed in the TF movie, when Frenzy was hacking Air Force 1 we saw the name of Sam's great grandfather as "Amundsen"; when later he's always called "Archibald".

Just a weird inconsistency.

Would it not be a reference to Amudsen the Norwegian polar explorer rather than a relative of Sam?

Archibald's middle name 'Amundsen' is given in the Jr. novelization of the 2007 movie. The Iceman file stolen by Frenzy in the movie itself shows the name 'Capt. Witwicky, Amundsen'

Trivia
Archibald's middle name is a reference to Roald Amundsen, the leader of the first successful expedition to the South Pole, and not Mitchell Amundsen the film's director of photography.

Here is the link to the websuite i got the info
