Transformers Dark Of The Moon


Plot

In 1961, the Ark, a Cybertronian spacecraft carrying an invention capable of ending the war between the benevolent Autobots and the malevolent Decepticons, crash lands on the dark side of Earth's Moon. The crash is detected on Earth by NASA, and President John F. Kennedy authorizes a mission to put a man on the Moon as a cover for investigating the spacecraft. In 1969, the crew of Apollo 11 lands on the Moon and secretly inspect the Ark before heading home. President Richard Nixon orders them to keep the details of this mission secret.

In the present day, three years after the Battle of Egypt [N 1], the Autobots assist the United States military in preventing major conflicts around the globe. During a mission to Chernobyl, Ukraine (site of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster) to investigate suspected alien technology, the Autobots are attacked by Decepticon scientist Shockwave and his giant worm Driller. After the two escape, Optimus Prime finds the technology is a fuel cell from the Ark, discovering it had survived its escape from Cybertron. After learning of the top-secret mission to the Moon, the Autobots travel there to explore the Ark. They discover a comatose Sentinel Prime—Optimus's predecessor as leader of the Autobots—and five Pillars he created as a means of establishing a Space Bridge between two points to teleport matter. After returning to Earth, Optimus uses the energy of his Matrix of Leadership to revive Sentinel Prime.

Meanwhile, Sam Witwicky is frustrated that he is unable to work with the Autobots or find a job. He also becomes envious of the close relationship between his new girlfriend, Carly Spencer, and her boss Dylan Gould. After finding work, Sam is provided information by his eccentric co-worker Jerry Wang about the Ark, before Jerry is assassinated by the Decepticon Laserbeak. Sam contacts the now independently wealthy Sector 7 Agent Seymour Simmons, and together they realize the Decepticons and their leader Megatron are murdering people connected to the American and Soviet space missions to the Ark. They locate two surviving cosmonauts, who reveal satellite photos of hundreds of Pillars being stockpiled on the Moon. Sam realizes that the Decepticons raided the Ark long before the Apollo 11 mission to the moon and intentionally left Sentinel and the five Pillars for the Autobots to find, as Sentinel is the key to activating the Pillars and the Decepticons lacked the means to revive him. The Autobots fight off three pursuing Decepticons known together as the Dreads, and rush to return Sentinel to their base for protection, but Sentinel betrays them and murders Ironhide, revealing that Sentinel had made a deal with Megatron to ensure Cybertron's survival.

Sentinel uses the Pillars to transport hundreds of concealed Decepticons from the Moon to Earth. Dylan is revealed to be in service of the Decepticons after he captures Carly with the help of Soundwave, who was previously masquerading as a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG gifted to Carly by Dylan. The Autobots are exiled from Earth at the demand of the Decepticons to avoid war, but as their ship leaves Earth it is destroyed by Starscream, seemingly killing the Autobots. The Decepticons, led by Megatron and Sentinel, invade Chicago as they place Pillars around the world. Dylan reveals to Carly the Decepticons' plan to transport their homeworld Cybertron to the Solar System, and then use Earth's resources to rebuild their world. Sam teams up with former USAF Chief Robert Epps and several ex-NEST soldiers to go into Chicago to save Carly and arrest Dylan, but they are nearly killed by Decepticon forces before the Autobots intervene, revealing they concealed themselves during the launch of their ship to convince the Decepticons they were destroyed.

The Autobots, along with several ex-Rangers and Navy SEALs, manage to rescue Carly and begin fighting off the Decepticons. During the battle, Soundwave and Barricade manage to temporarily incapacitate and capture a few Autobots, killing Que. However, the miniature Autobots Wheelie and Brains sabotage a Decepticon ship, creating a distraction and allowing the Autobots to escape, with Bumblebee killing Soundwave in the process. Many other Decepticons are also killed during the battle, including Laserbeak, the Driller, Starscream, Barricade and Shockwave, with Optimus using Shockwave's arm cannon to shoot down a Control Pillar, disabling the Space Bridge. An enraged Sentinel jumps down from the control tower to confront Optimus. Sam and Dylan fight as the latter reactivates the Control Pillar, but Sam manages to knock him into the Pillar, electrocuting and killing him. Bumblebee and Ratchet arrive and destroy the Control Pillar, permanently disabling the Bridge and causing the partially transported Cybertron to implode, becoming badly damaged. Optimus and Sentinel fight while Carly convinces Megatron that he will be replaced by Sentinel as leader of the Decepticons, goading him back into action. Sentinel gains the upper hand against Optimus but is incapacitated by Megatron before he can land the killing blow. Wishing to just reclaim leadership of the Decepticons, Megatron proposes a truce, but Optimus refuses and decapitates him. Sentinel pleads for his life, but Optimus executes him for his betrayal. With all Decepticons finally defeated and the war finally ended, Carly and Sam are reunited, and the Autobots, knowing that Cybertron is badly damaged beyond repair, remain on Earth still; making it their permanent home.
