Transformers references in other media

[BigTransformerTrev]

One of the episodes of Big Bang last night (I think the TV guide said that it was the season 11 first episode), Sheldon tells Amy (something like), him being at an event and not being the center of attention is like having Optimus Prime at your place and not being asked to transform into a truck.
I was channel surfing, so I wasn't really paying attention to it, so it caught me by surprise.

But then I put up the reference made in 'The Mr. Hell Show' and then 18 months later forgot and put the same reference up again so I'm much worse, I can't even remember what I put up, let alone what others have

And of course with so much TV these days people get to things at different times. Like your recent post about The Good Place with the jokes that I posted here over a year ago (Post #185).

It's worth anyone sharing anything they've seen as nobody can remember everything

Ha! Well there ya go. Double guilty Trev. Can't remember what I put up OR what others put up

I'm kinda glad I didn't remember that as I'm watching it on free-to-air so don't want any spoilers

Posted over on TFW, the appearance of a Gen1 Ultra Magnus toy in a promo video for the 3rd season of the Netflix show Stranger Things (set in the 1980s). They have a link to the youtube video and screen-grabs in case the video is taken down.

Heh, that's neat... although damn those mistransformed arms!

G1 Galvatron appeared in an episode of Doctor Who (I think it was storyboarded by Andrew Wildman too) and the toy was mistransformed, but it was being handled by Clara Oswald who was just fidgeting with it on the kitchen bench rather than properly playing with it.

I rewatched Ground Zero (Australian film, 1987) recently and spotted Colin Friels' son had a Transformers poster in his bedroom.

I'm wondering if I missed that episode or if I was totally oblivious to Galvatron just sitting there....

The scene in question happens in the first episode. Which is set in 1985... a small oops that probably only matters to TF fans.

I’ve seen some people say that it appears that UM is remote controlled, but my read of the scene was that the toy was placed on a remote controlled vehicle or something.

On an Indigenous Affairs TV ad from the NT there are a bunch of boys hanging out on the street and one of them is wearing an Autobot T-Shirt
