Most of the actors who play the US military in the film are real soldiers who have just returned from Iraq and Afghanistan, rather than ordinary extras.

·The military actors put a lot of enthusiasm in this movie because they want their children to see themselves fighting the Transformers on the big screen of "Transformers 2".

·The Pentagon provided great support to the filming work, not only allowed the crew to use the Baisha Missile Proving Ground, but also allowed them to follow the roaring fighter jets from the air.

· The Pentagon also asked the film to create a good and positive image for the US military.

A part of the scene was filmed on the USS John Stennis of the Navy. It was a scene where the Marine Corps also joined the assault force to fight against the invading Transformers.

·This film is the result of the largest joint filming operation ever conducted by the US Navy, Army, Air Force and Marine Corps.

·The resources directly used are roughly: 2 A-10 fighters, 6 F-16 fighters, 10 armored Hummers, "Golden Knights" military parachuting team, 2 M1A2 tanks, 2 M3A3 tanks, 2 self-propelled missiles Launch vehicle, 2 armored vehicles, Baisha missile test site, military explosives and bombs, soldiers on vacation.

· There has always been a competition between the US Army and the Air Force, and the shooting in New Mexico has made this competition even more intense. Although the Army’s Baisha Proving Ground and the Air Force’s Harlow League base are very close, the camps for soldiers and actors from different sides are completely separated.

·The brass shells collected by the staff on the field during the shooting of the battle scene were filled with many barrels. Some people joked that if they were sold to the waste station, the money earned could buy a lot of boxes of beer.

·The black actor Tyrese (Tyrese Gibson)'s military role in the previous movie was promoted in this episode, acting as the ground positioning guide for bombing in battle.

· All temporary Egyptian villages and temples in the Baisha missile test site will be used to highlight the explosion effect.

·There are not many things that were actually filmed in Egypt, and most of the subjects were scenes taken in local US military bases.

·The pyramid of Egypt is a very important plot point in this movie, and some scenes are even shot on the pyramid tower.

·The U.S. military allowed the M1 tanks in the play to fire empty ammunition, because this shooting was also used as a training for the US tank soldiers, but the bad shells still wanted to use live ammunition to shoot.

·The crew wasted some unnecessary munitions and used some military resources in the shooting that the military thought was not in line with the original intention of the training (Is this filming or the US military training? The conclusion is that the military took the opportunity to hold back) , And also lost money to the National Treasury Department of the United States.

·Starscream is still transformed into an F-22 fighter in this episode.

·Since everyone in the military and actors wanted to appear on the scene, the roof of the props was once full of soldiers. The military liaison of the crew had to find excuses to disperse them: "You are so tightly packed, it is too unrealistic. The enemy Just a hand grenade can kill you all." As a result, the answer was: "This is Hollywood, aren't we fighting with invisible aliens with ammunition that will never be shot?"

·In a scene where Sam and Michaela escape from the temple in a village and are chased by the Decepticons, the two are shot and fired at the same time by 75 soldiers and tanks. Of course, they are beaten by the "invisible" chasing them behind them. Alien".

· In the explosion scene, the 700-mile-per-hour air wave generated by the explosive explosion makes an eyelash a weapon that can hurt people. As a result, the hero and the heroine are blank in these explosions and only know the desperate run.

·Once, after a scene was filmed, a soldier shyly asked Shia LaBeouf (Sam's actor) and Megan Fox (Michela's actor) for autographs and said sorry. Sean asked him why he wanted to apologize, and promptly signed him. Then suddenly, a group of soldiers with paper and pen appeared...
