Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJohn Turturro was allowed to climb the pyramids during filming in Egypt. At one point, he simply broke down crying. When Michael Bay questioned him, he said, "You just don't get to do this in movies. You don't get to shoot in a place that's 4,000 years old."
- Quotes
Optimus Prime: You picked the wrong planet! Give me your FACE!
[tears off the Fallen's face and sticks him with his staff]
Optimus Prime: I rise... you FALL!
Megatron: NOOO! NOOO!
- Crazy creditsThere are two scenes in the closing credits: In the first one, Sam gives a farewell kiss to Mikaela and leaves for college. In the second one, Professor Coleman puts Sam down a little before they return to work.
- Alternate versionsThe mainland Chinese release censors all mentions of the name "Shanghai" (where the opening battle takes place). Galloway's line "You guys made a mess at Shanghai" is edited to remove the last two words, while other uses of the city's name are bizarrely overdubbed with something that sounds like "Shanghaish."

Featured review
An alright sequel..
Micheal Bay said aight what does the audience need more of. And the audience's wishes were certainly fulfilled in this sequel.
An ok story had lazy writing and a bad atmosphere. The humor is getting a bit overused and felt stale and more immature. Half the college footage was unecessary and the flim could have been a bit shorter. The characters and their development fell of by a mile in this sequel and the new characters were annoying, such as that roommate and the autobot twins. And the romance between Sam and Mikaela was a bit too cheesy and had no depth whatsoever. The visuals and the music were amazing as usual.
Overall a semi-enjoyable film.
