* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: The incident that led to Chara entering the Dreemurrs' lives is their falling off a cliff rather than into the Ruins. This also happens ''before'' the war between humans and monsters rather than an indeterminate amount of time later.
* AdaptationalLocationChange: Because the monsters won the war, the fic takes place in the lands surrounding Mt. Ebbot rather than within the mountain.
* AdaptationalWimp: The 'being of incredible power' Asriel and Chara's souls create is stated to be weaker than expected. This is because due to the circumstances of its creation, it's powered by fragments of their souls that add up to one soul rather than two complete monster and human souls.
* AdaptedOut:
** While an offhand comment during the Maize Run confirms a garbage dump exists somewhere, the swamp corresponding to Waterfall isn't shown to have one. Since the Mad Dummy fight is in said dump, Frisk never encounters them.
** Out of Mettaton's four shows from canon, the only one that appears is the cooking show. Frisk’s later interactions with him are either original material or modified from the last confrontation with him.
* MovingTheGoalposts: After Frisk defeats the titular Killer Robot in the "Maize Run With a Killer Robot" segment, Mettaton reveals there are more robots hunting Frisk. One of the mini-Mettatons is seen repainting the show’s sign to read "Maize Run With Killer Robots".
* OffModel: There are several inconsistencies involving Mettaton's switch. The most common error is that it’s sometimes absent when his back is visible, but one page of the cooking show has it much lower on his back than it should be. It also lacks the label above it that it has in canon.
* TheStationsOfTheCanon: While Frisk’s journey follows the same basic structure as in canon, many of the details are altered.
* StuffBlowingUp: Mettaton's maize maze is rigged to blow up if Frisk can’t get out in time and has several explosive booby traps. While Frisk manages to escape in time, the maze still explodes at the end, causing popcorn to rain from the sky.

** Cole is the only character whose name is finalized. Kai, Nya, Zane, Jay, Samukai and Garmadon are instead called Ash, Aura, Wynn, Rayne, Grim and Demic; Wu goes unnamed in this draft.

The Emperor tasks his apprentice Darth Vader with retrieving a being that mastered a lost Dark power and bringing it to him. It just so happens that this being looks like a decrepit animatronic rabbit...

!!''Film/{{Transformers}}''
* "Bonecrusher Hates X" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The packaging for [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Bonecrusher_%28Movie%29 Bonecrusher]]'s toy states he "[[HatesEveryoneEqually hates everything]]" Fans were quick to riff off the staement, substituting just about anything you can think of for "X". It started with buses, as he was seen smashing through one in the first movie's trailer. The meme got so ubiquitous on Website/TFWikiDotNet that the mods had to impose limits on its usage.[[/labelnote]]
* [[RabidCop ARE YOU USERNAME [=LADIESMAN217=]?!]][[labelnote: Explanation]]This gem comes from the Decepticon Barricade, who tracks down Sam through his eBay page.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Creator/AnthonyAnderson Glenn Whitman]] has become a FountainOfMemes despite only appearing in the first movie.
** The FBI Raid scene (where his house gets raided because he was given a classified transmission) gets used everywhere for videos considered lewd and inappropriate.
** SHUT UP, GRAMMA!!/GRAMMA, DRINK YOUR PRUNE JUICE!![[labelnote: Explanation]]Lines that Glenn yells at his doddering grandma for annoying him.[[/labelnote]]
** I ate da whole plate. The ''whole plate.''[[labelnote:Explanation]]A brief line from the first film by Glenn after he [[BigEater finishes eating an entire plate of donuts]] while waiting in an interrogation room. It was popularized by Creator/LindsayEllis and encouraged by WebVideo/AndreTheBlackNerd, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrriH5YbLF8 the former claiming it was her favorite one-liner she quotes all the time]] (and nobody gets), and "The Whole Plate" would become the title of her later multi-part video series analyzing the ''Transformers'' films.[[/labelnote]]
* Thanks to a bunch of events and a few toy reviewers, the scene of Lennox and Epps arguing; in particular Epps emphasis of "LEFT CHEEK!" has begun to gain some popularity.
!!''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen''
* [[PreAsskickingOneLiner "GIVE ME YOUR FACE!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] Optimus Prime shouts this line at The Fallen right before he rips the latter's face off and kills him. The line frequently comes up as evidence for Bayverse Optimus being unusually violent compared to most depictions of the character, leading to this version of him being remembered as a bloodthirsty face-stealer.[[/labelnote]]
** Live Fallen/Megatronus Reaction [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Fallen's 2022 ''Studio Series'' toy has a screen-accurate removable face with a movable jaw. Fans noticed that the unmasked face looks like The Fallen is performing a ''hysterical'' WildTake, often using it as a reaction image captioned in the style of the [[Memes/TheRiseOfSkywalker "Live Slug Reaction"]] meme.[[/labelnote]]

* It's the one where Spock goes nuts.[[labelnote:Explanation (Spoilers)]]Spoken by Wheelie at the beginning of Dark of the Moon, which cleverly provides foreshadowing for the rest of the film and basically sums it up.[[/labelnote]]
* A screenshot of [[http://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/f/f0/AOEOptimusRidingGrimlock.jpg Optimus Prime riding Grimlock]] from ''Age of Extinction'' has also become rather popular due to fans finding it awesome.
* I'm a fat ballerina![[labelnote:Explanation]]Hound's most memorable line from Age of Extinction, mostly for how stupidly awesome it is.[[/labelnote]]
* Damn you, Creator/MichaelBay![[labelnote:Explanation]]From one of the behind-the-scenes features of the first movie's DVD, Michael Bay himself indulges in some SelfDeprecation by mentioning this was one of the things his acquired hatedom said about him. Online forums were flaming him about heavily deviating from the standard formula and designs of ''Transformers'', with a not-so-subtle shot of his computer on the website Transformer World 2005 (implying the users there were the ones who originated this complaint), which all but tore into him for his initial design of Megatron's head (which led him to heavily modify it) and many of the radical changes he made to the franchise in general. It has come to encompass ''any'' complaint waged at Michael Bay for making a change to the franchise its fans disapprove of.[[/labelnote]]
** Michael Bay, [[UsefulNotes take notes!]][[labelnote: Explanation]]Fans who believe that Bay's films should have followed the ''Generation 1'' setting instead of reimagining the ''Transformers'' universe ([[OlderThanTheyThink again]]) tend to say this.[[/labelnote]]
** "Go Away Bay!"
* Sam's happy time.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The most infamous scene in the first movie, where Sam's '''absolutely''' [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents tactless]] mother blatantly asks if he's pleasuring himself in the bathroom. It comes off as a line totally unwarranted for a franchise about giant transforming robot and shoehorned in so freakishly that [[AvoidTheDreadedGRating some claim it was just a cheap and crude tactic to make the movie look edgier from the source work.]] Really, it was just an ad-lib they kept in for laughs.[[/labelnote]]
* "Wait, the Bayverse had fans?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A snarky comment made at the expense of the live-action film series due to the franchise's seemingly declined reputation in the US... [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff if you don't count its popularity overseas]].[[/labelnote]]
* "[=#StopLorenzo2019=]"[[labelnote: Explanation]]Lorenzo di Bonaventura, one of the producers for the Bay films, is notorious for making bizarre, misleading statements about the future of the franchise, as well as constantly [[FlipFlopOfGod flip-flopping]] on those same statements, such as being head-achingly vague about whether ''{{Film/Bumblebee}}'' is a reboot or not (even after Hasbro confirmed themselves that it was). The fandom at this point wishes Lorenzo would just shut up, since it’s increasingly obvious that he has no idea what he’s talking about and that he has little real influence over the franchise’s direction.[[/labelnote]]
* ''{{Film/Bumblebee}}'' got a ''lot'' of them:
** The first trailer quickly got stuck with the jokingly affectionate moniker "[[Film/TheShapeOfWater The Shape of Metal/Gasoline/Energon]]", thanks to sharing the theme of a (platonic, in this case) love story between a human female and a male non-human, not to mention a shot of Charlie embracing Bee underwater that looks very similar to a scene to Del Toro's film. Comparisons to ''WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant'' are also popular, even having scenes in their climaxes that are almost identical. It also helps that all three films' take place in the same Cold War setting.
** Charlie bonding with Bumblebee by gently placing her hand on his face has drawn jokes of calling the film ''"[[WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon How to Train Your Autobot]]"''.
** Shatter and Dropkick, the two main Decepticons, are often jokingly compared to Team Rocket's Jessie and James from ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' thanks to their red-blue color schemes, status as an EvilDuo, and the fact that they spend much of the movie fooling the military into thinking they’re the good guys, mirroring Team Rocket’s infamous [[PaperThinDisguise paper-thin disguises]].
** It didn't take long for everyone, including Website/TFWikiDotNet, to get in on making joking comparisons to ''WesternAnimation/BeeMovie''. Some fans even humorously hoped it would open with Optimus Prime narrating "According to all known laws of aviation..."
*** It really doesn't help that the lead actress' name is [[Creator/HaileeSteinfeld Hailee]] [[Creator/JerrySeinfeld Seinfeld]]-- [[FreudianSlip er, Steinfeld.]]
** "The Queen of Wakanda is a Decepticon!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Shatter is voiced by Creator/AngelaBassett, who had recently got a fair amount of acclaim for her performance as Queen Ramonda in ''Film/BlackPanther2018''.[[/labelnote]]
** "Bumblebee, sweet boy", a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeSpfUHqxG8 memorable quote]] from the Creator/{{Netflix}} documentary show ''The Toys That Made Us'', was quickly associated with the trailer's LighterAndSofter take on the movies' Bee.
** The seeker featured in ''Bumblebee'' who tears out Bumblebee’s voicebox was widely assumed to be Starscream in the months leading up to the film’s release, only for WordOfGod to say that he’s actually supposed to be Blitzwing (Starscream does appear, but only for a brief cameo in the prologue). Cue jokes about Travis Knight not being able to tell the difference between Starscream and Blitzwing, or Starscream toys being referred to as Blitzwing toys.
*** [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars STARSCREAM NOT BLITZWING!]]
*** "[[https://agent-washingtub343.tumblr.com/post/176164042008/would-you-like-some-i-cant-believe-its-not I Can't Believe It's Not Starscream!]]"
*** [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood "You thought it was Starscream, but it was I, Blitzwing!"]]
*** Some extend the joke to other characters, such as claiming Soundwave is actually Reflector or that Optimus Prime is Ultra Magnus.
** Naturally, Wrestling/JohnCena's reputation as “the invisible man” has fans questioning why he doesn't appear in the movie as advertised.
** "It's basically the plot of ''The Little Mermaid'' but with robots."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Some have pointed out similarities between the two, with a main protagonist (Bumblebee/Ariel) losing their voice, befriending a human of the opposite gender (Charlie/Prince Eric) and fighting against a female antagonist who ends up being crushed by a boat (Shatter/Ursula).[[/labelnote]]
** Carried over from the original series, discourse over whether Ravage is a cat or a dog. [[labelnote:Explanation]]He's supposed to be a robotic panther, but he has a rather canine head and for many years fans would bicker about what he kind of animal he was. ''Bumblebee'' proceeded to reopen that old wound by having it’s version of Ravage look a lot more like a dog.[[/labelnote]]
** Comparing this new entry positively, directed by Travis Knight, to the previous ones directed by Michael Bay has the phrase 'it's like Knight and Bay.'
** [[spoiler:Cliffjumper's CruelAndUnusualDeath at the hands of Shatter and Dropkick]] had lead many to joke that Hasbro really has it out for [[spoiler:Cliff]], as this is the [[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime second time]] he's been killed off early.
** "Did you think you could hide?!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Blitzwing shouts this at Bumblebee as he attacks him at the start of the movie. Often used in a similar manner to the "why are you running?!" meme.[[/labelnote]]
** "Because of you, our franchise has a future." and other similar snowclones. [[labelnote:Explanation]]These lines were derived from Optimus Prime's commendation to Bumblebee for keeping Earth safe as the film concludes. The one prominently displayed on this line is usually a commendation to Travis Knight for saving the film franchise.[[/labelnote]]
** "Thank you for giving me my _____ back."[[labelnote:Explanation]] Fans jokingly use this with touching screencaps from different source media.[[/labelnote]]
** "With all due respect, are you out of your damn mind?!"[[labelnote:Explanation]] Fans quickly started using this quote as a way of dismissing low blows (e.g. name-calling, your mom jokes, etc.) in internet flame wars, or dismissing insults to the Bumblebee movie itself.[[/labelnote]]
** What exactly does Soundwave turn into again?[[labelnote:explanation]] Soundwave's design in ''Bumblebee'' was eventually given a transforming figure in the ''Toys/TransformersStudioSeries'' line in 2021, which turned into...[[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:Studio-Series-Voyager-Class-Bumblebee-Soundwave.jpg whatever this is]]. Naturally, fans began to poke fun at how unfocused his alternate mode looked, with the closest rational explanation as to what it was being his "ship" mode from ''ComicBook/TransformersVsGIJoe''. Many memes have put his alternate mode in different contexts, such as him sunbathing or being [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Green Goblin's]] glider.[[/labelnote]]
* #[=NotMyTransformers=][[labelnote:explanation]] A Twitter hashtag used by many fans to voice their opposition to the Michael Bay-directed films.[[/labelnote]]

Comparisons to ''WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant'' are also popular, even having scenes in their climaxes that are almost identical. It also helps that all three films' take place in the same Cold War setting.
** Charlie bonding with Bumblebee by gently placing her hand on his face has drawn jokes of calling the film ''"[[WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon How to Train Your Autobot]]"''.
** Shatter and Dropkick, the two main Decepticons, are often jokingly compared to Team Rocket's Jessie and James from ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' thanks to their red-blue color schemes, status as an EvilDuo, and the fact that they spend much of the movie fooling the military into thinking they’re the good guys, mirroring Team Rocket’s infamous [[PaperThinDisguise paper-thin disguises]].

However, with how the internet often jokingly misinterpret the word "come" as [[DoubleEntendre something else]], many "[[Memes/Cyberpunk2077 Keanu Reeves Is Extremely Horny]]"-esque jokes have been made from that delivery. It doesn't help that Optimus has said "come" in a similar manner in the previous movies too, such as "I'm coming!" from ''Dark of the Moon''.[[/labelnote]]
* Pablo. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Wheeljack's appearance in ''Rise of the Beasts'', revealed via a leaked toy, has gained a polarizing reputation with the fanbase, with some dismissing the drastic design change as a waste of his Generation 1-faithful design in the ''Bumblebee'' movie, while others are in favor on the account of trying something new with Wheeljack's character. The moniker of "Pablo" comes from the leaked toy, which has a "TV Pablo" decal on the sides of his vehicle mode - the detractors of Wheeljack's ''Rise of the Beasts'' design use this moniker to separate him from his appearance in ''Bumblebee'', while those who like the design uses it as an AffectionateNickname.[[/labelnote]]

* "Bonecrusher Hates X" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The packaging for [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Bonecrusher_%28Movie%29 Bonecrusher]]'s toy states he "[[HatesEveryoneEqually hates everything]]" Fans were quick to riff off the staement, substituting just about anything you can think of for "X". It started with buses, as he was seen smashing through one in the first movie's trailer. The meme got so ubiquitous on Website/TFWikiDotNet that the mods had to impose limits on its usage.[[/labelnote]]
* [[RabidCop ARE YOU USERNAME [=LADIESMAN217=]?!]][[labelnote: Explanation]]This gem comes from the Decepticon Barricade, who tracks down Sam through his eBay page.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Creator/AnthonyAnderson Glenn Whitman]] has become a FountainOfMemes despite only appearing in the first movie.
** The FBI Raid scene (where his house gets raided because he was given a classified transmission) gets used everywhere for videos considered lewd and inappropriate.
** SHUT UP, GRAMMA!!/GRAMMA, DRINK YOUR PRUNE JUICE!![[labelnote: Explanation]]Lines that Glenn yells at his doddering grandma for annoying him.[[/labelnote]]
** I ate da whole plate. The ''whole plate.''[[labelnote:Explanation]]A brief line from the first film by Glenn after he [[BigEater finishes eating an entire plate of donuts]] while waiting in an interrogation room. It was popularized by Creator/LindsayEllis and encouraged by WebVideo/AndreTheBlackNerd, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrriH5YbLF8 the former claiming it was her favorite one-liner she quotes all the time]] (and nobody gets), and "The Whole Plate" would become the title of her later multi-part video series analyzing the ''Transformers'' films.[[/labelnote]]
* Thanks to a bunch of events and a few toy reviewers, the scene of Lennox and Epps arguing; in particular Epps emphasis of "LEFT CHEEK!" has begun to gain some popularity.
!!''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen''
* [[PreAsskickingOneLiner "GIVE ME YOUR FACE!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] Optimus Prime shouts this line at The Fallen right before he rips the latter's face off and kills him. The line frequently comes up as evidence for Bayverse Optimus being unusually violent compared to most depictions of the character, leading to this version of him being remembered as a bloodthirsty face-stealer.[[/labelnote]]
** Live Fallen/Megatronus Reaction [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Fallen's 2022 ''Studio Series'' toy has a screen-accurate removable face with a movable jaw. Fans noticed that the unmasked face looks like The Fallen is performing a ''hysterical'' WildTake, often using it as a reaction image captioned in the style of the [[Memes/TheRiseOfSkywalker "Live Slug Reaction"]] meme.[[/labelnote]]

* It's the one where Spock goes nuts.[[labelnote:Explanation (Spoilers)]]Spoken by Wheelie at the beginning of Dark of the Moon, which cleverly provides foreshadowing for the rest of the film and basically sums it up.[[/labelnote]]
* A screenshot of [[http://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/f/f0/AOEOptimusRidingGrimlock.jpg Optimus Prime riding Grimlock]] from ''Age of Extinction'' has also become rather popular due to fans finding it awesome.
* I'm a fat ballerina![[labelnote:Explanation]]Hound's most memorable line from Age of Extinction, mostly for how stupidly awesome it is.[[/labelnote]]
* Damn you, Creator/MichaelBay![[labelnote:Explanation]]From one of the behind-the-scenes features of the first movie's DVD, Michael Bay himself indulges in some SelfDeprecation by mentioning this was one of the things his acquired hatedom said about him. Online forums were flaming him about heavily deviating from the standard formula and designs of ''Transformers'', with a not-so-subtle shot of his computer on the website Transformer World 2005 (implying the users there were the ones who originated this complaint), which all but tore into him for his initial design of Megatron's head (which led him to heavily modify it) and many of the radical changes he made to the franchise in general. It has come to encompass ''any'' complaint waged at Michael Bay for making a change to the franchise its fans disapprove of.[[/labelnote]]
** Michael Bay, [[UsefulNotes take notes!]][[labelnote: Explanation]]Fans who believe that Bay's films should have followed the ''Generation 1'' setting instead of reimagining the ''Transformers'' universe ([[OlderThanTheyThink again]]) tend to say this.[[/labelnote]]
** "Go Away Bay!"
* Sam's happy time.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The most infamous scene in the first movie, where Sam's '''absolutely''' [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents tactless]] mother blatantly asks if he's pleasuring himself in the bathroom. It comes off as a line totally unwarranted for a franchise about giant transforming robot and shoehorned in so freakishly that [[AvoidTheDreadedGRating some claim it was just a cheap and crude tactic to make the movie look edgier from the source work.]] Really, it was just an ad-lib they kept in for laughs.[[/labelnote]]
* "Wait, the Bayverse had fans?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A snarky comment made at the expense of the live-action film series due to the franchise's seemingly declined reputation in the US... [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff if you don't count its popularity overseas]].[[/labelnote]]
* "[=#StopLorenzo2019=]"[[labelnote: Explanation]]Lorenzo di Bonaventura, one of the producers for the Bay films, is notorious for making bizarre, misleading statements about the future of the franchise, as well as constantly [[FlipFlopOfGod flip-flopping]] on those same statements, such as being head-achingly vague about whether ''{{Film/Bumblebee}}'' is a reboot or not (even after Hasbro confirmed themselves that it was). The fandom at this point wishes Lorenzo would just shut up, since it’s increasingly obvious that he has no idea what he’s talking about and that he has little real influence over the franchise’s direction.[[/labelnote]]
* ''{{Film/Bumblebee}}'' got a ''lot'' of them:
** The first trailer quickly got stuck with the jokingly affectionate moniker "[[Film/TheShapeOfWater The Shape of Metal/Gasoline/Energon]]", thanks to sharing the theme of a (platonic, in this case) love story between a human female and a male non-human, not to mention a shot of Charlie embracing Bee underwater that looks very similar to a scene to Del Toro's film. Comparisons to ''WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant'' are also popular, even having scenes in their climaxes that are almost identical. It also helps that all three films' take place in the same Cold War setting.
** Charlie bonding with Bumblebee by gently placing her hand on his face has drawn jokes of calling the film ''"[[WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon How to Train Your Autobot]]"''.
** Shatter and Dropkick, the two main Decepticons, are often jokingly compared to Team Rocket's Jessie and James from ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' thanks to their red-blue color schemes, status as an EvilDuo, and the fact that they spend much of the movie fooling the military into thinking they’re the good guys, mirroring Team Rocket’s infamous [[PaperThinDisguise paper-thin disguises]].
** It didn't take long for everyone, including Website/TFWikiDotNet, to get in on making joking comparisons to ''WesternAnimation/BeeMovie''. Some fans even humorously hoped it would open with Optimus Prime narrating "According to all known laws of aviation..."
*** It really doesn't help that the lead actress' name is [[Creator/HaileeSteinfeld Hailee]] [[Creator/JerrySeinfeld Seinfeld]]-- [[FreudianSlip er, Steinfeld.]]
** "The Queen of Wakanda is a Decepticon!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Shatter is voiced by Creator/AngelaBassett, who had recently got a fair amount of acclaim for her performance as Queen Ramonda in ''Film/BlackPanther2018''.[[/labelnote]]
** "Bumblebee, sweet boy", a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeSpfUHqxG8 memorable quote]] from the Creator/{{Netflix}} documentary show ''The Toys That Made Us'', was quickly associated with the trailer's LighterAndSofter take on the movies' Bee.
** The seeker featured in ''Bumblebee'' who tears out Bumblebee’s voicebox was widely assumed to be Starscream in the months leading up to the film’s release, only for WordOfGod to say that he’s actually supposed to be Blitzwing (Starscream does appear, but only for a brief cameo in the prologue). Cue jokes about Travis Knight not being able to tell the difference between Starscream and Blitzwing, or Starscream toys being referred to as Blitzwing toys.
*** [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars STARSCREAM NOT BLITZWING!]]
*** "[[https://agent-washingtub343.tumblr.com/post/176164042008/would-you-like-some-i-cant-believe-its-not I Can't Believe It's Not Starscream!]]"
*** [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood "You thought it was Starscream, but it was I, Blitzwing!"]]
*** Some extend the joke to other characters, such as claiming Soundwave is actually Reflector or that Optimus Prime is Ultra Magnus.
** Naturally, Wrestling/JohnCena's reputation as “the invisible man” has fans questioning why he doesn't appear in the movie as advertised.
** "It's basically the plot of ''The Little Mermaid'' but with robots."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Some have pointed out similarities between the two, with a main protagonist (Bumblebee/Ariel) losing their voice, befriending a human of the opposite gender (Charlie/Prince Eric) and fighting against a female antagonist who ends up being crushed by a boat (Shatter/Ursula).[[/labelnote]]
** Carried over from the original series, discourse over whether Ravage is a cat or a dog. [[labelnote:Explanation]]He's supposed to be a robotic panther, but he has a rather canine head and for many years fans would bicker about what he kind of animal he was. ''Bumblebee'' proceeded to reopen that old wound by having it’s version of Ravage look a lot more like a dog.[[/labelnote]]
** Comparing this new entry positively, directed by Travis Knight, to the previous ones directed by Michael Bay has the phrase 'it's like Knight and Bay.'
** [[spoiler:Cliffjumper's CruelAndUnusualDeath at the hands of Shatter and Dropkick]] had lead many to joke that Hasbro really has it out for [[spoiler:Cliff]], as this is the [[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime second time]] he's been killed off early.
** "Did you think you could hide?!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Blitzwing shouts this at Bumblebee as he attacks him at the start of the movie. Often used in a similar manner to the "why are you running?!" meme.[[/labelnote]]
** "Because of you, our franchise has a future." and other similar snowclones. [[labelnote:Explanation]]These lines were derived from Optimus Prime's commendation to Bumblebee for keeping Earth safe as the film concludes. The one prominently displayed on this line is usually a commendation to Travis Knight for saving the film franchise.[[/labelnote]]
** "Thank you for giving me my _____ back."[[labelnote:Explanation]] Fans jokingly use this with touching screencaps from different source media.[[/labelnote]]
** "With all due respect, are you out of your damn mind?!"[[labelnote:Explanation]] Fans quickly started using this quote as a way of dismissing low blows (e.g. name-calling, your mom jokes, etc.) in internet flame wars, or dismissing insults to the Bumblebee movie itself.[[/labelnote]]
** What exactly does Soundwave turn into again?[[labelnote:explanation]] Soundwave's design in ''Bumblebee'' was eventually given a transforming figure in the ''Toys/TransformersStudioSeries'' line in 2021, which turned into...[[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:Studio-Series-Voyager-Class-Bumblebee-Soundwave.jpg whatever this is]]. Naturally, fans began to poke fun at how unfocused his alternate mode looked, with the closest rational explanation as to what it was being his "ship" mode from ''ComicBook/TransformersVsGIJoe''. Many memes have put his alternate mode in different contexts, such as him sunbathing or being [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Green Goblin's]] glider.[[/labelnote]]
* #[=NotMyTransformers=][[labelnote:explanation]] A Twitter hashtag used by many fans to voice their opposition to the Michael Bay-directed films.[[/labelnote]]
* Enemy scrotum.[[labelnote:explanation]]A rather infamous scene from ''Revenge of the Fallen'', where Devastator is shown to have two wrecking balls hanging from his crotch and Simmons describes himself as "below the enemy's scrotum". This scene was ridiculed by fans because of how out of place it is for a movie based off a toyline to have a testicles joke, and the gag's notoriety led to several third-party toy companies making add-ons to give Devastator's movie toys wrecking balls.[[/labelnote]]
* Optimum Pride.[[labelnote:explanation]]A memetic [=TikTok=] video of a Filipino man yelling at a truck resembling Optimus's alternate mode from ''Age of Extinction'' and ''The Last Knight'' before attempting to imitate the transformation noise, all the while swearing in Tagalog. The video gained wild popularity among Indonesian and Filipino audiences before eventually exploding worldwide.[[/labelnote]]
* If (X) Came Out In 2007 [[labelnote:Explanation]] A trend starting with an edit of the ending of Film/JurassicWorld in which the ending of a film has the music replaced with [[Music/LinkinPark "What I've Done"]] leading to the director's credit ala the 2007 film[[/labelnote]]
* [[https://twitter.com/StinkyBlueRat/status/1618851703721431045?s=20 Optimus' ass]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Voyager Class ''Age of Extinction'' Evasion Mode Optimus Prime toy has wheel kibble on his thighs that, when posed in a way that coincidentally resembles twerking, can form a pair of buttocks as demonstrated on the image itself. This image is [[https://twitter.com/Doodlen0odle/status/1618852313728430080?s=20 often paired]] with a clip of Optimus and Megatron fighting in ''Transformers: Prime'' with the former in his [[CarFu vehicle mode]] running over the latter with his wheels, recontextualizing it as an example of AssKicksYou.[[/labelnote]]

However, with how the internet often jokingly misinterpret the word "come" as [[DoubleEntendre something else]], many "[[Memes/Cyberpunk2077 Keanu Reeves Is Extremely Horny]]"-esque jokes have been made from that delivery. It doesn't help that Optimus has said "come" in a similar manner in the previous movies too, such as "I'm coming!" from ''Dark of the Moon''.[[/labelnote]]
* Pablo. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Wheeljack's appearance in ''Rise of the Beasts'', revealed via a leaked toy, has gained a polarizing reputation with the fanbase, with some dismissing the drastic design change as a waste of his Generation 1-faithful design in the ''Bumblebee'' movie, while others are in favor on the account of trying something new with Wheeljack's character.
