In the first live action Transformers film, Optimus Prime says to Megatron, "...one shall stand, one shall fall," in a homage to their confrontation in the animated film.
The Transformers video game released for the PS2 in 2004 referenced numerous lines from the film. The following lines were spoken in the game:
- Optimus Prime: "'til all are one." (Said by many Autobots in the film, including Optimus Prime, Rodimus Prime, and Ultra Magnus)
- Megatron: "I would have waited an eternity for this." (Said by Megatron in the film)
- Starscream: "I'll rip out your optics!" (Said by Megatron in the film)
- Unicron: "You cannot destroy my destiny." (Said by Unicron in the film)
The 2008 series Transformers Animated has numerous homages to this film as well as most of the previous shows and the first live-action movie. Ultra Magnus' voice, done by Jeff Bennett, emulates that of the late Robert Stack, Magnus' original's voice. Wreck-Gar (voiced in this version by "Weird Al" Yankovic) referenced Yankovic's song "Dare to Be Stupid", a song from this film's soundtrack. Judd Nelson reprised his role as Rodimus in one episode of the series. In the end of the series, the Allspark is contained in a casing that resembles that of the Matrix of Leadership. Susan Blu, John Moschitta and Corey Burton reprised their roles as Arcee, Blurr, Shockwave and Spike.
