Transformers: Hybrid/Tropes


 * Casting Gag:
 * Corey Burton, who voices Dropkick, previously voived Megatron himself (among others) in Transformers: Animated, which is the film's main inspiration.
 * Zeno Robinson previously voiced Trash Malto in Transformers: EarthSpark, whose showrunners helmed this film. Now, he voices Bumblebee.
 * The Ghost: Megatron is absent from this film. However, he is frequently mentioned, particularly by Starscream (and not in a flattering light).
 * Mythology Gag:
 * The film includes a few nods to Transformers: Animated:
 * The Transformers are said to have first arrived in December 2007, the month the series first premiered.
 * Sari discover her true nature after an injury on her elbow, much liie in the series.
 * The Autobot group in the film is the same one from Transformers Prime.
 * Bumblebee briefly comments that he "woukd have long lost my vocal procesors if it wasn't for Ratchet", a tongue-in-cheek nod to the live-action films.
 * Role Reprise:
 * Peter Cullen reprises his long-time role as Optimus Prime.
 * Grey DeLisle also returns as Arcee.
 * Steve Blum reprises his role as Starscream from Transformers Prime.
