Line 367:
** Some fans wanted to bean the [[Strawman Political]] over the head for discussing all of their secrets over the satelite connection when Soundwave was hacked in. Only one problem there, while the political weenie was indeed a dumbass, they ''were'' using what was supposed to be a secure connection. Discussing secret stuff is pretty much what those connections are ''for''.
** More of a misattribution than misblamed, but [[Megan Fox]] was not fired for [[Godwin's Law|comparing MichaelBay to Hitler]]. Ask anyone and that is supposedly common knowledge. The truth was she was actually giving Bay a lot of respect and sincerity in that interview, the entire thought was basically "He's friendly yet awkward off the set but on-set he tries to give off a controlling 'Hitler' persona." This can be evident in that Bay's response was basically laughing it off and saying that it's part of her quirky charm (it may have been a poor choice of words but it wasn't meant in a damning way). There was evidence released later that suggest Fox's departure from the series was actually at the suggestion of [[Steven Spielberg]] who disliked her general attitute and Bay also admitted she never really focused on her work. The whole thing wasn't a petty "You said WHAT about me?" ordeal.
* [[Money, Dear Boy]]:
** Apparently, the only reason Megan Fox didn't quit after the ''first'' movie.
** Similarly, Hugo Weaving freely admits to phoning in his performance.
* [[Monumental Damage]]: ROTF: {{spoiler|an Egyptian pyramid wrecked}}. DOTM: {{spoiler|Lincoln Memorial's statue destroyed by Megatron to take a seat at its place.}}
** Doubles as a [[Mythology Gag]]. G1 Megatron did the ''exact same thing'' in one of the episodes in the original cartoon.
