* BeenThereShapedHistory: The Transformers are yet again shown to have appeared throughout history, including during the time of Arthurian Legend, the Napoleonic Wars, the American Revolution, World War I, and World War II. In particular, Bumblebee and Hot Rod served as part of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Special_Service_Force Devil's Brigade]], disguising themselves as army trucks and spearheading a surprise attack at a Nazi stronghold. It is mentioned that Hitler was assassinated by a particularly ''mean'' Cybertronian disguised as a gold pocket watch. The movie also leads us to believe that Starscream, Ironhide, Hound, and Optimus have been on Earth before due to their presence in Burton's collection of ancient memorabilia.

* BlackVikings: One of the Knights of the Round Table ([[Characters/ArthurianLegend Palomides?]]) is black.

* AGodAmI: Qunitessa calls herself a god as Optimus attempts to strike her down.
