Transformers: Dark of the Moon	comment	Spoilers for all Transformers Film Series entries preceding this one, including Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen will be left unmarked. You Have Been Warned!The third film in the Transformers Film Series, released on June 29th, 2011.In the waning days of the Cybertronian civil war, an advanced Autobot ship called The Ark is presumed destroyed and lost to the void of space. As it so happens, it crashed on Earth's moon in the early 1960's, detected by the human governments and becoming the actual impetus for the Space Race and the Apollo 11 moon landing. This secret was kept hidden from the Autobots despite their close relations, and the discovery of pilfered tech from the Ark at Chernobyl leads to strained Human/Autobot relations.The truth is the Ark was carrying advanced technology created and safeguarded by Optimus Prime's mentor and predecessor, Sentinel Prime, which had the capacity to help rebuild Cybertron. However, the Decepticons are already involved in dangerous ways, and that same technology could be used to launch a full scale invasion of Earth and bring them under their control.The final trailer is here.The film marks Leonard Nimoy's long-awaited return to the franchise note He openly asked to participate in the previous film, but Bay couldn't work up the courage to ask him in after twenty-five years - and sadly his final appearance in the franchise before his death in 2015. Likewise this is the last film to feature Shia LaBeouf as Sam Witwicky. He wouldn't participate in the two movies that followed.Has nothing to do with the theatre play Dark of the Moon, originally written in 1942.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon / int_112daba0	type	Retired Badass
Transformers: Dark of the Moon / int_112daba0	comment	Retired Badass: Dutch, Simmons' assistant. He can hack into any system and disarm a crazy Russian gangster pointing a shotgun at him without looking, but when Simmons orders him to stand down, he almost sobs and says that "I'm sorry, that was the old me!" The implications range from a simple lifestyle change to total Split Personality (see Actor Allusion). Basically, Simmons has an insane version of Jason Bourne as his assistant. Epps tells Sam that he retired from the military in the time between ROTF and DOTM. He comes out of retirement after the Decepticons blow up the Autobot shuttle as it's leaving Earth, presumably killing the Autobots on board.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon / int_14beeefd	type	Darker and Edgier
Transformers: Dark of the Moon / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: Being the third movie of what was intended to be a trilogy, this is to be expected (Dark is quite literally in the title). In the first 2 films, while there were obvious casualties, they were barely shown. In this film, you not only get to see Laserbeak murder people (as well as a family), you also get to see Chicago destroyed and people practically vaporized. The Family-Unfriendly Death quotient even seems a bit darker. It is undoubtedly the darkest and most violent of the first three films, and arguably still takes the crown within the Michael Bay's Transformers quintology. Michael Bay openly stated he wanted this movie darker and more dramatic than the first two movies. Even the concept art has a much gloomier atmosphere to it.

In the actual film, Optimus does indeed say this, but it's all part of a ruse to convince the 'Cons that they actually are leaving, in order to spring a surprise attack later on.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Transformers: Dark of the Moon / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: The Decepticon patrol fighters have rotating engines and weapons that act like articulated limbs — a subtle nod to some of the toy designs in the '90s (eg. Pretenders), which basically "transformed" from robots to vehicles with limbs. Carly's name itself is a reference to Spike's girlfriend/wife in G1. The only difference being that this Carly is British with a ringing English accent while the G1 Carly is American. Megatron has sat on the throne of Abraham Lincoln before in the G1 episode "Atlantis, Arise!" albeit in the cartoon he gently placed the Lincoln statue on the ground (which isn't plausible given that the Lincoln statue was built onto the chair) while here he just blasts away Lincoln and leaves Igor to chow on Abe's head. Que's grappling hook nearly kills Sam when he's unable to get it off, and his spike-bomb gives out before Sam could use it on the control pillar — Que is based on Wheeljack, whose inventions were known to fail in a more incendiary manner. The Decepticons want to use a Space bridge to transport Cybertron to Earth so they can harvest our resources? That's a Whole-Plot Reference to the original The Transformers cartoon three-episode story, "The Ultimate Doom"! The Decepticons have a willing human ally? They manage to get the Autobots booted off the Earth? They arrange for the "accidental" destruction of the Autobot's ship? DOTM, or the G1 cartoon two-parter "Megatron's Master Plan"? Interestingly, a similar adaption of "Megatron's Master Plan" was used near the end of Titan Comic's alternate timeline comic story based on the first film, prior to it being rebooted for the then-new Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen. The Driller's structural design is essentially an all-mechanical version of the Transorganic energy-leech from season 3 of Generation 1. Starscream has his eyes put out by a tiny human and staggers around blind, wrecking things. Ironic, because that's more or less what G1 Starscream (or at least his ghost) did to Metroplex in "Ghost in the Machine". During the film's third act, Shockwave attacks Optimus with the latter in vehicle-mode, knocking off his trailer in the process. The original G1 series notoriously had Optimus' trailer suddenly disappear whenever he turned into a robot, and spontaneously reappear out of nowhere when he turned back. Believe it or not, Optimus slaughtering an entire battalion of Decepticons during the final battle is a reference to The Transformers: The Movie, that being the famous â€œYou Got The Touchâ€� sequence.

As she points out, the Decepticons have finally achieved victory... but Sentinel, an Autobot, is the one who's in charge.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon / int_38d02d44	comment	Batman Gambit: The Decepticons: Once the Autobots discovered the existence of the Ark, they would travel there and find Sentinel. Since only Sentinel can control the Space Bridge, the Decepticons would need Optimus to use the Matrix on Sentinel, in order to bring him back to life. Once back, Sentinel would only have to wait until the right moment to betray his friends, and take the pillars back for the Decepticons. The Dreads' attack also serves a similar purpose: With NEST alerted to the Decepticons' presence in the city, Lennox would have to mobilize his team to search for any incoming 'Cons. This would leave NEST's base mostly undefended, allowing Sentinel to easily take the Space Bridge back.

His reveal as the Big Bad may also be a nod to Nimoy voicing Galvatron in The Animated Movie.

The highway battle has them cutting loose between their "stealth force" weaponized vehicle form and robot modes as necessary. This does come into play with Soundwave as Carly's car. The NEST base in the middle of Washington DC appears to be a Health and Human Services building.

The Autobots are still the best option against the 'Cons, but the soldiers were shown training on how to fight them properly early on in this film. Thus you see them sniping out their eyes to blind them, planting grenades on their feet to disable mobility and then just peppering them with support fire to keep them disoriented. It is surprisingly effective. For better or worse, the human soldiers actually have slightly more screentime fighting Decepticons than the Autobots do.

Also, the only thing that can revive Sentinel is the Matrix of Leadership, which only Optimus can use. The entire diabolical plot with the pillars never would have come to fruition if Optimus had simply stayed away from the moon and let Sentinel wither away in his Energon coma. Optimus laments that fact. Optimus and his allies pretend to follow the Decepticons' instructions to leave with the intention of returning afterwards to launch a sneak attack and save the humans. But the Decepticons end up slaughtering tons of humans in order to push humanity into a global Despair Event Horizon. He knew they couldn't be trusted and that they'd backtrack their promise to not harm humanity, but turns out that harming humans was their entire MO. When Optimus returns, he's clearly pissed.

Once he is finally released he doesn't seem to have broken anything, and has no problems whatsoever using the arm that should have been ripped off (or at least dislocated).

However, when Carly comments that the Decepticons probably forgot to mention this part of their plan to him, he simply retorts with "What? Do you think I'm in every meeting?" before whispering to himself that he's safe where he is. The look on Optimus's face after Sentinel reveals himself as a traitor and destroys NEST's base has this trope written all over it. Made even worse when Secretary Mearing calls him out on it.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon / int_b2280b66	type	Retcon
Transformers: Dark of the Moon / int_b2280b66	comment	Retcon: Of a sort. When Cybertron was shown in the first film, it was a mountainous world with metal spires and molten lava/Energon flowing across the landscape. In this film, Cybertron is given a more mechanical design, with towers poking between bridges and roads, making it more like its cartoon interpretation. When Cybertron is brought near Earth, its appearance invokes the original cartoon, sans scale problems. There's also Megatron's overall plan to win the war: The first two films stated that he arrived on Earth chasing after the AllSpark, which crashed on the planet during the Ice Age. DOTM retcons it to that he had always intended to come to Earth, which was where he would meet up with Sentinel, who had fled Cybertron during the war's final days. However, two considerations may make this retcon acceptable: 1) It's possible that he needed the AllSpark to wake Sentinel up for the plan to work. 2) Turning Earth's machines into an army (as stated in the first film) would have provided the needed manpower to rebuild Cybertron. This film reveals that Megatron's Decepticon faction made contact with Earth during the years of the space race, and have been working with human collaborators for decades, which calls into question why it took them till 2007 to locate Megatron and the Allspark, or why the Decepticons needed to hack information about Project Iceman from the defense network themselves, instead of relying on their human pawns.

Ironhide's initial response to finding out that Sentinel Prime had defected while being horribly oxidized by the former counts as well.

Notably: Optimus has a wider chest and grill, giving him larger 'abs'. His overall design is more powerful looking. Bumblebee, continuing from the second film, has a more armored robot mode. Ratchet's armor has a darker color scheme so that now instead of being yellow-green, he's Sprite green. Likewise his vehicle mode has similarly been recolored. The Twins had their scenes cut, but had they remained they would have both been recolored black, with the exception of their heads and hands which would have remained green and orange. Likewise Skids' vehicle mode would have been repainted black with green highlights, while Mudflap would have had his vehicle mode changed into the same make as Skids, black with orange highlights. Sideswipe's vehicle mode is now a convertible where he had a hard top in the second film. Soundwave's head is less insectoid, with a more beast-like mouth.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon / int_f64a9cf7	type	Earn Your Happy Ending
Transformers: Dark of the Moon / int_f64a9cf7	comment	Earn Your Happy Ending: Which the sequel completely negated. But overall Dark of the Moon did not end very happily: Ironhide and Que are dead, at least 1,200 humans perished in the battle of Chicago, Cybertron's destruction all but seals the Transformers' fate to a slow extinction, and Optimus' faith in mankind has shattered from how quickly they expelled the Autobots and surrendered to Sentinel, not to mention the emotional scars he'll develop after murdering his brother and father in cold blood. The upside here is that everyone else survives; Megatron, Starscream, Shockwave and Sentinel are dead, and the invasion force were killed with Cybertron; with the Decepticons effectively decapitated, the War is all but over. Even Sam manages to earn some respite at the end, being recognized as a hero for his actions, and finally scores with Carly.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon / int_f91d1d4f	comment	Darkest Hour: The Autobots are seemingly dead, Chicago (and, presumably, other major world cities) are taken over by Decepticons, and surviving civilians are being organized into a labor force to rebuild Cybertron. Sam even drives through the devastated Chicago, seeing civilians running in fear, or dropping to the ground without hope, while Decepticon ships float ominously over the city. There is then another one. The pillars have been activated, Optimus is immobile and the Wreckers are trying to free him, the NEST soldiers are pinned on the wrong side of the river, and the remaining Autobots have been taken prisoner. The Decepticons then decide to kill the Autobots, staring with Que. They then decide to kill Bumblebee, fortunately things turn around.

They send the ship up with no one on it, storing away in one of its booster rockets that separated. Starscream destroys the ship and everyone believes them dead, allowing them to take the Decepticons by surprise.
