“YOU DIE.” proceeds to tear Shockwave’s spine out from his eye - Optimus “GIVE ME YOUR FACE” Prime, 2011
@andrewrife6253
What always killed me was how, in each movie, there were characters that just showed up and disappeared with no explanation and in each movie there's this "ultimate powerful thing" or a shit load of robots hanging out somewhere that was just forgotten about. Like, Megatron just forgot about the shit ton of decepticons on the moon or he wasn't told and you'd think that would have been mentioned at some point..
@Milkra
Optimus in the cartoons: be strong enough to be gentle Optimus in the movies: rip and tear until it is done
@laurafarmer5305
Fun fact: my dad's coworker Dave is in this movie. They just walked into weather squadron and asked if people who weren't busy wanted to be in the background of the Nasa bits.

The betrayal and Ironhide’s death was one of the most shocking things I’ve ever seen as a kid. Really blew me away and made me hate the villains. Which is awesome for a movie to be able to do.
@R77ification
The human side of the big fight felt straight out of a Battlefield campaign. You could play the BF4 main theme during the collapsing tower sequence and it fits the scene like a glove.
@waddledee6729
The idea that Optimus goes from self-defense to I'm going to kill everyone here regardless of the circumstances is mighty amusing
@michaelredford95
That Go-Pro on the rifle at 14:03 is probably my favourite technical shot of the movie. The way they hold fire until Optimus is out of shot. It's small and I love it.

Only real ones will remember when he uploaded this with a different aspect ratio
@Harmonmj13
I still remember when this movie was being filmed here in Chicago. People here were crowding the streets downtown watching all the explosions being filmed and when the film premiered in theatres, every showing in the area cheered when the Decepticons turned our city into a carnival shooting gallery.
@argkitsune
I was obsessed with the Michael Bay movies as a little kid, and I am not kidding when I say that I legitimately cried when the Autobots’ fakeout death happened.
@epsilon6516
15:34 you say this like Buzz Aldrin isn’t a massive nerd, he was probably like “hell yeah” when they pitched the idea to him
@Gardelain
I always thought it was odd that after being a bullied shell of his former self that Megatron just got iced in such a brutal way after saving his lifelong enemy from the big bad. It's nice to know that there actually was a second ending that would have played out much more in line with how I would have thought it would have went.
@ntm4
Honestly the best part of this film for me was Sentinal using Spock's "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" line but as a villainous excuse instead of a heroic self-sacrifice.
@theLV2
That scene where the Army Rangers use superior tactics to blind the Decepticon group with high powered sniper rifles, then immobilize them with planted anti-armor explosives and then finish them off is still frickin awesome.

17:40 Clear sign that the Transformers Space Program needs better funding
@MrEdit-ic7th
Seeing this in theaters as a teenager, I remember being pissed that Ironhide's death was acknowledged by literally nobody. This badass was one of the OGs and he doesn't even get a passing mention of grief from Optimus or Ratchet.
@Reczack
The way Optimus looks absolutely pissed off when he says "Time to find out" and his face mask snaps closed sends chills down my manchild spine.
@DestroyerApollyon
Dark Of The Moon is actually kinda similar to to an arc in the original series. In “The Transformers: The Ultimate Doom” the decepticons use a space bridge to bring Cybertron to earth, but instead it screws with the planet and starts to tear Earth apart. They also mind controlled a bunch of humans too, and we’re going to use them as slave labor.
