Transformers/Trivia: Difference between revisions

** Transformer with a human for their alternate mode: {{spoiler|Animated}}, Revenge of the Fallen.

* If you were to play every ''[[Transformers]]'' opening theme ever made back to back, it would take just shy of 40 minutes to complete.

* [[Inconsistent Dub]]: The Latin American and ''even the European Spanish'' dubs, ''All the way'': Due to the fact Hasbro wanted to dub the Spanish versions in the U.S. for having more control about the dubbing (This is was during G1, the animated movie and the Japanese Anime versions, mind you) , all the Spanish language versions (including the European one) were sometimes dubbed by a Spanish-language studio in Los Angeles. The main problem with this approach is, due of consideration about the Spaniard viewers, especially in the Anime versions, some series were dubbed using the European Spanish dialect, but keeping the local accents ''intact'': Not only the Latin American viewers had to tolerate a very fake Spaniard accent, but the Spaniards had to tolerate a ridiculous Spaniard dialogue with ''[[Not Even Bothering With the Accent|Mexican and Central American accents.]]''

** In fact, Mexican voice acting studios only dubbed a very small amount of Transformers stuff: The Beast Wars/Beast Machines series, Prime, Robots in Disguise and the live-action films. Other countries that dubbed the rest of the TF series were: Chile (Animated) and Venezuela (The Unicron Trilogy).

== [[Transformers Film Series]] ==

* [[Creator Backlash]]: [[Michael Bay]] apologized for the result of ''Revenge of the Fallen,'' and promised better results for ''Dark of the Moon.''

** [[Hugo Weaving|Megatron]] is [[The Matrix|Agent Smith]]. As if he wasn't enough of a badass already...

** Reno Wilson voices Frenzy, Mudflap and Brains. For you gamers out there, that's the [[Mad World|Black Baron]] (stop starin').

*** One of the Primes is [[Transformers Armada|Armada Cyclonus]].

*** Wang is [[Ed, Edd n Eddy|Eddy]].

** Zach Ward played Sgt. Donolley, who you'd probably recognize from almost anything.

** [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Andrew Wells]] and Sasha Forbes work in the Pentagon as analysts.

** The very first non-movie character to get a toy was Wreckage - a Decepticon with an APC altmode based on an ILM design that eventually went unused.

** Both the twins and Arcee were apparently supposed to combine into a larger robot form. The cycles' version got far enough to make it into the toyline, the Twins...not so much (though the ice cream truck did).

** Soundwave was to appear in the first movie, his role being an inverted [[Composite Character]] of Frenzy and Barricade. Since there would be major size changes involved (he would go from a robot to a radio to a humvee), he was split off. At first, Frenzy was to be named "Soundwave", but the writers changed it because they felt the character was too different from all the other Soundwaves. Another attempt at working him in eventually turned into Blackout and Scorponok.

** The various adaptations of ''ROTF'' feature a different ending than the movie itself, where {{spoiler|Megatron, having found out that The Fallen had been lying to him and manipulating him all this time, leaves his master to die and flies back to the ''Nemesis'' with Starscream to awaken his new army}}.
