In the scene when bumblebee first appeared and parked itself in the car store, it park itself beside a yellow Beetle. The Yellow Beetle was the original form of bumblebee in the Transformers cartoon series.
Before its release, Transformers was voted "Best Summer Movie You Haven't Seen Yet" at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards.
According to Michael Bay in the DVD commentary, Optimus Prime's body language was inspired by Liam Neeson.
When the Xbox 360 transforms, the sound used is not the normal Transformers sound, but the sound made by the 360 when you turn it on.

When the meteors containing the Autobots crash to Earth, people are running towards the crash sites to see what's going on. One guy with a video camera is saying something like "This is gonna be a hundred times better than 'Armageddon', I promise!". Of course referring to the movie 'Armageddon', a film also directed by Michael Bay.
The "changing sound" that is familiar to all Transformers fans from the TV show, was added to the movie despite opposition from Michael Bay, who wanted a more "robotic" sounding transformation. Hasbro would not license the film unless the director at least stayed true to this one aspect of the TV franchise.
Director Michael Bay has stated that he decided to make Bumblebee a Chevy Camaro in order to avoid comparisons to Herbie the Love Bug. Indeed, Bumblebee behaves a lot like the Disney movies' Volkswagen Beetle, performing various cheeky actions in the Transformers film reminiscent of Herbie.
Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus in the cartoons, was cast as the voice of Optimus in the movie due to public demand, after it was determined that his voice hadn't aged too much. Frank Welker, who voiced Megatron in the original series, was also in the running for this film, but his voice was now too old to fit the character.
