Fun fact #166:
D-16's eyes (Young Megatron) changes colors three times throughout the movie. D16's eyes start out as yellow. When he receives his cog and learns the deceptive truth about Sentinel Prime, his eyes change to orange and he began to exhibits bouts of anger. When he truly turns evil at the end and takes Megatronus Prime's cog for himself, he announces his new name as Megatron and his eyes are finally red.
The colors of D-16 / Megatron's eyes in the film are reminiscent of an explanation that is given in one of the later Transformers comic books in the 21st century: "Yellow is the color of ignorance. I am intoxicated by lies; Orange is the color of awakening. I gradually understand destiny. Red is the color of truth. I will rise up."

The letter D is short for Destron, the Japanese name of the Decepticons used in older media, while the number 16 denoted the original Megatron toy as the sixteenth release in the Japanese toy line.

The Last House directed by Louis Leterrier looks insanely eerie and Iβm all for it.!

The Underminer is one of the few Disney or Pixar villains to succeed in his goal. He manages to rob a bank and escape with all of the money and is never caught afterward. He is the second Incredibles villain (after Bomb Voyage) to not be captured by the hero and is able to get away with a crime (both instances involving bank robbery).
Fun fact #163:
The three V-Rexes Kong fights are distinguishable by the configuration of their teeth. The first V-Rex to appear on-screen is also the first to be defeated, whereas the V-Rex Kong kills during the fight's climactic scene is the one that appeared second.
Fun fact #162:
Kong's design is inspired by a combination of King Kong (1933) and the Japanese adaptation in the 1960s. This allowed the creative team to utilize a look similar to the classic Kong, while also drawing upon the exaggerated "kaiju" aspects and powers displayed by the Japanese adaptation.
Fun fact #161:
Samuel L. Jackson said on a talk show that throughout filming, he and his co-stars didn't know just how big Kong was supposed to be. Whenever they asked, they got conflicting answers.
Fun fact #159:
In the Marvel Comics, Namor is ruler of the underwater realm of Atlantis. The filmmakers changed the name to avoid connections/comparisons with other versions of Atlantis (notably DC Comics' version and its own superhero king Aquaman (2018)), and so in the film the realm is named Talokan, after the Aztec underwater realm of Tlalocan, despite the characters clearly being of Mayan descent.
Fun fact #156:
In the film, Megatron does not choose an alternate mode, choosing, out of arrogance, not to disguise himself on Earth. He instead maintains his alien jet mode. His original alternate mode in Transformers (1984) was a Walther P38 pistol, but the writers felt it was like "having Darth Vader transform into his own lightsaber and someone else swinging him around," so he was given a more realistic alien design, and made more hideous, to make him more menacing.
Fun fact #160:
Unlike some comic versions of Bullseye who undergo surgical enhancements, his lethality comes from sheer pinpoint marksmanship and obsessive, hundreds-of-hours practice.
Blitzwingβs introduction scene in Bumblebee (2018) is one coolest antagonist Iβve ever seen.
The way John Cenaβs character asks βWho called in the Air-Force?β and Bumblebee answering with βThatβs not
the Air-Force.β was so ominous.
