* OnSetInjury: An extra was seriously injured during a stunt in Hammond, Indiana. Owing to a failed weld, a steel cable snapped from a car being towed and hit the extra's car, damaging her skull. The extra, identified as Gabriela Cédillo, had to undergo brain surgery. The injury has left her permanently brain-damaged, paralyzed on her left side and her left eye stitched shut. In May 2012, it was revealed that a $18 million settlement had been reached between Paramount and the Cedillo family. As a result of this accident, recycled footage from ''Film/TheIsland'' was used instead, with CG robots inserted into the footage.

** Bay was furious that Amazon’s listing for the comic adaptation spoiled the film’s central twist and demanded that there be no further comic adaptations of his films moving forward.
** Creator/HugoWeaving left the trilogy feeling no attachment to Megatron or the franchise and admitted it was a shame it was meaningless to him, as he had tired of making franchise films. Bay took this as a personal attack and lashed out at him.
** Unique, ironic example with Creator/JohnDiMaggio, as he didn’t like the films and even heckled this film’s teaser trailer when he saw it in theaters. Not much later, he ended up approached by Bay to star in the film and ended up not only cast as Leadfoot, but became a recurring cast member for nearly every film released since.
