Transformers References in Pop Culture

[Metroplex79]

Inspired by Protoman's Panel at TFCon this past weekend.

MacGyver, Season 5, Episode 3 - The Black Corsage


Part 4/5:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mLs9ZCvwck
-7:59 (first glimpse)
-8:04 (great shot, pause here)
-8:14-8:32 (MacGyver handling it)
-8:44-8:49 (glimpse)


Part 5/5:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8Pl2zSwT0g&feature=related
-0:27

-(plus a few more glimpses after)

While this one is quite obvious, are there other ones that are as obvious?


Anyone else with more from other than Robot Chicken, Family Guy and Simpsons? (or pretty much ones that Protoman did not show at the panel)

This blew my mind as a kid,also hella pissed me off that Will Smith had a razorbeast and I didn't, one of the few BW I didn't own as a child....still don't..

If you looked carefully at my open window in the panel, I had a lot more but kept looking at the clock due to time (wanted to play the full Megas or Panty/Stocking ep)

Does this steaming pile of crap music count?

G1 sightings:

In 'Top Gun', Goose's young son is holding a Starscream.

Also in James Cameron's 'Aliens', Shockwaves were used as props. This was discussed on TFW a while back:

There's a song in Starcraft 2 called Terran Up the Night:

And if you listen, part of the lyrics goes:

We've got our own transformer,
The rough and tough Viking.
He can fly and he doesn't cry like that little wuss, Starscream

With modern media referencing TFs a lot, I was hoping to see stuff from the 80s and 90s.

Like the Aliens reference posted by Janitor, that was cool. I've seen that movie at least 60 times, and I always thought that those were just mechanical items from scrap yard to make look-alike medical surgical tools.

But MacGyver still beats that because he actually handled the TF rather than have it in the background or a visual prop.

I love the list from Zobovor, but that's just it, a list, would like to see more screen caps or scans.

Yeah I saw, I was hoping to see more that I haven't seen before. The Megas episode was cool, but I wanted to see more from your list.
(Was the MacGyver one on your list?)

Maybe next year this would be a 2-hour panel????

See if anyone knows about this one...

Flight Of the Navigator. When they bring the kid into the base/compound/whatever... theirs a pile of boxed G1 toys on the table for him.
