For those of you unlucky enough to watch Transformers the Movie when it was on the big screen and have only seen the VHS or DVD versions...
The first sweary was when Unicron is coming to eat one of the moons of Cybertron. Spike says "aw shoot what are we going to do now!" Only this case, and I quote Carlin, shoot is something else with two o's.
The second was Wreck Gar. Residents of the Planet of Junk only spoke TV. When Unicron takes the junk ship in his giant planet smashing hand and squeezes it, Wreck Gar can be heard saying "We're forked. We are experiencing technical difficulties."
The third was never actually shown to most American audiences. And most folk don't even know about this scene, as it was cut from the US movie version. When Unicron attacks Cybertron, Shockwave, not Soundwave, but Shockwave, the second in command, the big purple pistol, is sitting in his command tower and sends out a call for help. Unicron smashes it with his fist. Shockwave's last words were "Scramble! Scramble! SCRAMBLE! Oh shoot."
I have the Japanese version on Laserdisk. It has subtitles.
I hear the 2005 Rhino re-release has some of the original footage restored.
Little known trivia fact. Transformers bleed when they are injured. They leak coolant, oil, hydralic fluid, whatever, but they bleed. In the US version, the gushing fluids were to much like blood. So they were reanimated to look like smoke billowing out. The ambush aboard the shuttle where a bunch of Autobots gets whacked is a veritable robot bloodbath. Gushing bodily fluids everywhere.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
