In this video I show an example of how clues of an actress / actor's future roles may be shown in her or his past works as out-of-continuity (future looking) easter eggs. The example premise here centers on Mark Hamill's voice acting roles in animated TV series based on the popular Transformers toys sold by Hasbro & Takara:

- In the original Star Wars trilogy (1977-1983) I believe the Death Star space battle station may be a future nod to Unicron, first seen in the 1986 Transformers animated movie.
- Corvette Summer (1978) starred Hamill and Annie Potts. The movie featured a customized 1973 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. I thought the styling and paint scheme very similar to future Transformers autobot hero Hot Rod (Rodimus or Rodimus Prime) of the 1986 Transformers animated movie. The movie poster as well has a similar color scheme to Hot Rod (pink or off-red and yellow). The car in the movie has flame graphics, Rodimus also has a yellow flame crest on his chest.
- Another possible nod to Mark Hamill & Transformers may be seen in 2015's Episode 7: The Force Awakens. Luke Skywalker is known as a proficient X-Wing pilot. A scene in this movie shows the X-Wing fighters flying low above the water line, I found it very similar to one shown in the 1984 Japanese animation film Macross: Do You Remember Love (at about 1 hour 13 minutes). It turns out that the mid 1980's G1 Transformers toy, Jetfire, is based on the same mold as the Macross VF-1S Super Valkyrie Fighter released around the same time. There is a great legend & history around the similarity of these 2 toys and Jetfire is one of the most valuable Transformers collectibles in 2024.

Hamill voiced Woodrow Burns in 8 episodes of Transformers: Rescue Bots (2011-2016). He was Megatronus in Transformers: Power of the Primes & Transformers: Titans Return in 2018.
