Revenge of the Fallen: Spot the References

[GoktimusPrime]

they're "inferences from absolutely coincidental things that just happened to occur while Michael Bay was busy intently raping everyone's childhood TO THE EXTREME!"

Unless someone forced you to watch the movie, you consented. A lousy you-know-what =/= rape (though I enjoyed it. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but I liked it... we're still talking about movies yeah )

Yeah anyway - we're looking for both references and inferences. Outferences too.

Hey, i know this might be a bit 'left field' but did those 'microcons' or whatever they are remind you of those droids in star wars episode either 1 or 2 that role around and open up?

We're looking for references (or inferences) to Transformers.

Characters: Power-Up Optimus Prime
References: Gundams
Details: whoops, wrong franchise/brand name/intellectual property, wrong robot

Wokka wokka wokka! (^_^)

Power up Optimus + Jetfire
- Armada had Prime and Jetfire powerlinx mode

True. I went for God Ginrai as the earliest example of a Transformer merging with another to achieve a powered-up super robot mode - but you're right, Armada Prime/Jetfire was the first example of those two characters/namesakes merging to a super robot mode.

Jetfire get revived after years of slumber/stasis lock?
- Jetfire in G1 toons also gets revived - seems this guy always gets revived.... accident prone mayhaps?

True - although I don't think RotF Jetfire's stasis was accidental. Also similar is that Jetfire in the G1 comics, G1 cartoon _and_ RotF were all initially Decepticons who later became Autobots.

waitwaitwait hold on now what about the professors refrencce, "I am ALPHA and OMEGA the BEGINNING and the END"

come on MAJOR beast wars REFRENCE

[GoktimusPrime]

That's actually a biblical reference.

Religious references have been frequently used in Transformers (Judeo-Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism/Buddhism etc etc etc.)

references or coincidences?

references or coincidences?

Yeah, Sky Shadow already addressed that back in post #5. I wanna see how many references or inferences we can fish from this movie -- let's start scraping that barrel folks!

Wheelie was the lamest character.

Soundwave was voiced by Welker.

Ravage was awesome.

The matrix saves the day (and everyone else).

TFs mass-shift.

Do you guys think that it's a coincidence or a reference that Mikalea is good with her hands like Carly was in G1?

Also Spikes friend Chip was disabled... Sams roomate obviously had some mental handicap

I read this sentence as being far dirtier than it was intended.

Quick! Someone tie her tubes (or repeatedly kick Sam in the janglies) before they conceive the movie equivalent of Daniel!!

Also Spikes friend Chip was disabled... Sams roomate obviously had some mental handicap

Lol, yeah but we all know that Chip - like Charles Xavier - is just faking his disability!
