Trivia:
The Cobra Commander's mask was redesigned as the filmmakers found the "G.I. Joe" (1985) version too similar to the Ku Klux Klan masks, and anyway didn't want to use the same old mask.

Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The CGI tram ramming the Hummer during the Paris chase scene, although loosely based on the Paris "Tramway des Maréchaux", looks nothing like the actual tram. However, even though the Tramway looks nothing like the actual Paris tram, keep in mind the movie does take place in the future. Things do change.

Quotes:
[first lines]
Bastille Prison Warden: James McCullen, you Scottish pig, you've been found guilty of treason for the sale of military arms to the enemies of our Lord, King Louis XIII, even whilst you sold arms to our Lord himself.
James McCullen - 1641: Your king is a vile bag of filth who murders his own allies. I should have charged him double.
Bastille Prison Warden: You tried to overthrow the Crown in conspiracy with its enemies.
James McCullen - 1641: Unlike your simpleton king, his enemies know that is the true McCullen destiny not simple to supply arms, but to run the wars!
Bastille Prison Warden: Do you anything else to say before the sentence is carried out?

Another ruined childhood relic. Terrible plot, terrible actors, terrible use of the franchise. The only good thing, like most movies nowadays, is the special effects. But who really cares? That is a dime a dozen. You can really see the butchered Transformers producing background in this movie. Way to ruin two old-school childhood icons. Now let's get some "good" actors, not just in shape and a flavor of the month. Some good writers who are uncompromising and actually fans of whatever they are redoing. And most importantly good producers with a vision, not just a ten minute script and million dollar effects with a stamped brand on it.
