Starcraft II directly references Transformers

[kup]

I just finished Starcraft II and although the game has a few indirect references to Transformers, the end credits song make a direct one.

Skip to 3:30 to hear it:

As mentioned, although that is the direct one, I saw a couple of Optimus Prime trucks in some maps and references in the dialogue.

Has anyone spotted any other references?

Hmm good pickup kup. I've clocked it a couple of times as well but never really took notice. I could swear one of the non-organic terran units references G1 Prime after repeated clicks.

Man you must've been bored to sit through the ending credits

I'd imagine they would do that. Warcraft 3 did the same thing when you keep clicking on characters. Like the peasants "Help help, I'm being repressed" haha

On a similar note, Saints Row 2 had some TF fans in the development team as well, as a lot of the vehicles are Transformers references

(Cement mixer truck is called Mixmaster, the Wrangler like jeep is called Swindle, and there are a bunch of demolition derby cars named after the cassettes).

Cracking game Saints Row 2...

I haven't finished the game, but I thought the Terran Viking unit was a pseudo-transformer unit in itself.
