* Revealing mistakes: A group of F-16 fighters flying in formation are seen banking off to begin engaging the Decepticons. Inexplicably they each launch flares - a kind if decoy for heat-seeking missiles - as they break formation. This is likely because it's library footage of F-16s on maneuvers.
* Crew or equipment visible: Low angle camera rigging shadow cast on Bumblebee on the far right of the frame when he driving along at sunset in processions with the other Autobots.
* Revealing mistakes: Near the start of the film the Union Jack can be seen flying upside down, which is actually a distress signal.
* Continuity: When Sam Witwicky drops his papers on the college steps three people on the right hand side are walking behind him. As the shot changes the three people are further back just getting to the steps.
* Errors in geography: When Jetfire is reactivated at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Virginia, he blasts open a hangar door and steps outside, the exterior shot showing him and the other protagonists being in the "boneyard" at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona, at the opposite end of the country.
* Continuity: In the deli Sam takes his hat off twice.
* Crew or equipment visible: When Bumblebee nudges Sam while in vehicle mode, you can see there is a driver inside of the car.
* Errors in geography: The entire scene involving Egypt, Jordan and the Bay of Akkaba is a geographic mess. Petra is almost 1000km from the pyramids which lie just outside Cairo. Also, Cairo is nowhere near a sea-shore but is a few hundreds of kilometers inland from the Mediterranean.
* Continuity: During the frat party scene where Sam gets a green drink, the drink is full in one shot, nearly empty in the next, and full again in the third.
* Continuity: After Devastator has ripped off the top of the pyramid, Jetfire (John Turturro)is seen giving coordinates to a US Navy aircraft carrier. Jetfire is meant to be on the same pyramid, but you can clearly see in the background the same pyramid without any damage.
* Continuity: After the college girl turns into a robot and Sam and Mikaela run out, you can see that Mikaela has taken her heels off running down the stairs. However, in the next scene, they are back on her feet.
* Continuity: When they go to meet Agent Simmons in New York City, there is a shot of the Brooklyn Bridge with the American flag on the eastern tower of the bridge. Although, earlier in the film (and in the trailer) a Decepticon is seen knocking the flag pole off of that same tower.
* Continuity: Sam was lying on ground after explosion and has swollen jaw and burn on left cheek. When he stands up to hug Mikaela he has no burns on cheek and jaw is normal.
* Continuity: In one scene with Mikaela, Leo and Sam at former agent Simmons's store (John Turturro's character), Sam takes off the cap twice in front of him.
* Plot holes: In Egypt, both Long Haul (green dump truck) and High Tower (yellow crane) are fighting NEST individually, while they are also miles away acting as the right foot and left arm of Devastator respectively. Long Haul is shown in robot mode several time, while High Tower is even killed by Bumblebee.
* Errors in geography: In a couple scenes in the movie, it mentions the USAF characters are at a military base in New Jersey. But each time the scene switches to this "New Jersey", you can see a desert-like environment and mountains in the distance; both of which New Jersey does not contain.
* Revealing mistakes: The film begins at 22:14 hours in Shanghai, while it is still light outside. Shanghai, China at 22:14 should be dark.
* Continuity: When Sam hurts his hand after 'arriving' in the desert he magically produces a bandage.
* Factual errors: In the scene where the Decepticons attack Paris, red and blue sirens are seen through the streets. Sirens on Parisian police cars are just blue.
* Revealing mistakes: Very loud Decepticon meteorites are crashing down and exploding by the pyramids in the distance, but the guy with the camels in the foreground show no reaction.
* Factual errors: After Starscream deploys the EMP and the soldiers lose communication, MQ-1 Predators are ordered to be launched. The airframe shown taking off is the MQ-9 Reaper, not a Predator.
* Continuity: A Decepticon knocks the American flag off the top of a bridge. Moments later, the flag is back on top of the same bridge again.
* Continuity: In the process of reconstructing and reviving Megatron, one of the drop team gets cannibalized by the others, meaning there should only be five Decepticons left - Megatron and the remaining four. When they head for the surface, the sonar tech calls out six objects moving and six objects are seen on the screen, not five.
* Continuity: During the scene when SoundWave orders the Decipticons to mobilize, there is a shot in which two robots, whom appear to be BoneCrusher and the tank version of Devastator from the first movie, are shown. However, both of these characters were supposedly killed in the first movie. BoneCrusher had his head cut in half by Optimus Prime, and Devastator succumbed to massive amounts of fire from both the military and AutoBots in the city battle.
* Continuity: The Aircraft Carrier that launched the naval air strikes near the end of the movie had the same hull number as the Aircraft Carrier that was sunk earlier.
* Continuity: During the scenes in the desert, Mikaela's white jeans stay perfectly white, when by the end they should be covered in sand.
* Factual errors: The Predator UAV is a prop driven aircraft, not a turbine (jet) driven as depicted in both this and the Transformers (2007) movie.
* Factual errors: When "scrambling the Predators", the UAV pilot is heard calling out "V-One, rotate." V-One is is the speed where you no longer have enough runway left to safely stop an aborted takeoff. The proper call would have been "V-R, rotate."
* Factual errors: In an overhead scene of the Pentagon, the location is cited incorrectly as "The Pentagon - Washington D.C." The Pentagon is located in Arlington, VA.
>>> WARNING: Here Be Spoilers <<<
Goofs below here contain information that may give away important plot points. You may not want to read any further if you've not already seen this title.
* Factual errors: SPOILER: When the Deceptrons were recovering the remains of Megatron, General Morshower states that there were objects approaching the depth of 9000 fathoms to Megatron's location in the North Atlantic ocean. 9000 fathoms is a little over 10 miles in depth and there is no location in the North Atlantic ocean with that depth.
* Continuity: SPOILER: The artifact called "The Matrix" changes size dramatically from when Sam holds in it his hands to when the Fallen inserts into the pyramid machine.
