Transformers! (Merged)

That was a nod to the first teaser trailer that came out last year where we only saw a shadow of a robot as it destroyed the Mars probe.

What was a nod? I understand the purpose of the scene but why use the real name for that mission but reassign it from the European Space Agency to NASA/JPL? Again, it is really, really, really minor but why go to the trouble of adding unnecessary words just to add the wrong ones. For those who do know it is jarring, as if in Star Trek IV they'd said the USS Enterprise was part of the British navy.

Sorry. I misunderstood the point you were making.
