Summary

During the great war between Optimus Prime’s Autobots and Megatron’s Decepticons on Cybertron , the Ark, commanded by Sentinel Prime , left the planet and crashed on the Moon in the 1960s . This event influenced the race for space between the United States and the Soviet Union . TheWhen the Apollo 11 mission arrives on the Moon , astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin discover the ship and a portion of the cargo, without finding the Autobot lying there.

In 2011 , two years after the Battle of Egypt and the Fallen’s death, the Autobots and humans protect the Earth from the dangers threatening it. One day, during a mission to Ukraine , at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant , the NEST discovered a reservoir of fusion , which would have caused the nuclear disaster , as well as the presence of three Decepticons. Optimus Prime understands that he belonged to the Ark, the ship hidden on the Moon. He then decides to go to the moon to find him and bring back Sentinel Prime, former leader of the Autobots during the war of Cybertron , with the technology that he carried: pillars capable of creating aspace bridge .

For his part, Sam Witwicky tries to live a normal life with Carly, his new girlfriend, but he gets bored with the absence of Bumblebee and only manages to get a job in the mail service of a large cabinet. insurance, while Carly became the assistant of Dylan Gould, a multi-millionaire playboy who makes her benefit from her largesse. One day, Sam is approached by one of his colleagues, Jerry Wang, who informs him of the Decepticons’ machination on the far side of the Moon before being killed by Laserbeak, a Decepticon Soundwave Insertion Agent.. When Sam tries to inform NEST, he runs into Charlotte Mearing, head of the secret services who refuses to involve him. Sam decides to investigate with Seymour Simmons and Dutch, who have left the army. They discover unexplained deaths of people related to American and Russian space programs and find traces of cosmonautsRussian. These show them cliches of the moon where we see hundreds of pillars. Sam understands that the Decepticons have set a trap for the Autobots. Indeed, the enemies were waiting for the arrival of Autobots on the Moon, which could carry some pillars (including the main pillar) and Sentinel Prime to the Earth. As a result, there will be pillars on the Moon and Earth, and thus a possible transfer of soldiers Decepticons, who were hiding on the moon. When the Autobots learn it, they send Sideswipe, Bumblebee and Mirage Escort Sentinel Prime to the NEST HQ. Then follows a chase during which three agents Decepticons, Dreads (Crankcase, Crowbar and Hatchet) seek to remove Sentinel Prime. The Decepticon Hatchet is strafed by Bumblebee before being spilled by mirage. The other two Decepticons continue pursuing Sentinel but collide with Ironhide who, with the help of Sideswipe, manages to kill them one by one, but the former leader Autobot reveals his betrayal: during the war, he had agreed with Megatron to save Cybertron and planned to use the portal to end the war. He shoots Ironhide from behind and shoots him ruthlessly, along with several NEST agents, (as well as the Skids and Mudflap twins off the screen), before stealing the pillars. Optimus is devastated and he can only watch helplessly the return of megatron, whichKenya , and the activation of the portal and the invasion of the Decepticons hidden on the Moon to invade the Earth.

Sam refuses to give up, but he also has to bow to Decepticons’ will when he discovers that Dylan Gould is allied with Megatron and holds Carly hostage. Sam is then responsible for ensuring that the Autobots leave the Earth unconditionally aboard the Xanthium; he sees the Optimus shuttle taking off before being destroyed by Starscream who was ambushed. Sentinel and Megatron now have their hands free and are investing Chicago with Dylan Gould and the humans who are subject to them to make the city a fortress.

Sam leaves to save his girlfriend, with Epps and the men who refuse to give up the fight. On site, they witness the destruction of several F-22 by Decepticons hunters, before being themselves attacked by a hunter who killed several humans before being shot by Optimus and the Autobots, who never left the planet. The Wreckers (Leadfoot, Roadbuster and Topspin) tease the hunter’s pilot and leave to invest the city. Bumblebee, who had recovered the hunter, flies to Gould’s building and Sam manages to save Carly before shooting Laserbeak. Carly reveals the plan of Decepticons before communicating to NEST via a drone: bring Cybertron back into the Terrestrial atmosphere by creating a bridge through pillars placed all over the world and forcing humans to work as slaves to rebuild the lost planet. The armed group of humans and Autobots is joined by a commando led by Colonel Lennox, as well as several paratroopers coming in helicopters that had been shot down by Starscream. The Autobots are then chased by Shockwave, but the Wreckers arrive and shoot at him for diversion, which allows Optimus to recover his trailer. Once this is done, Optimus uses its jet pack to shoot down the Driller, a Decepticon that attacks the human commando, but Shockwave damages its jet pack and Optimus remains stuck in the cables of a crane, which split the group. . Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Q, Ratchet and Mirage are captured by Barricade, Soundwave and several Protoforms, and during this time, Starscream attacks Sam and Carly but is killed by Sam, who had smashed an explosive of Q into his left eye, blew his head and its spark. Finally, Barricade, using a Protoforms kills Q, but just before Soundwave kills Bumblebee, the Brains and Wheelie Autobots, who were hidden in a Decepticon ship, arrange to crush their ship near the Decepticon group. , which allows the Autobots to resume the fight. The Decepticons are overwhelmed and Bumblebee (after having managed to kill a Protoforms) beheads Soundwave in a spectacular shot. Barricade joins Shockwave and a group of Protoforms, but they are attacked by the men of Lennox and Epps who shoot down five Decepticons but among them, Barricade survives (and runs away from the battle). Shockwave tries to resist, but the Wreckers come in and force him out, forcing him to flee. Optimus, finally released from its shackles thanks to the Wreckers, shoots down, with the help of other Autobots (Bumblebee, Ratchet, Sideswipe and Mirage), 10 Decepticons (6 Protoforms, Brawl, Long Haul, Sideways and Scrapper) in a memorable charge before eliminate Shockwave and use his missile launcher to disable the main pillar. The duel begins between Optimus and his former Chief Sentinel Prime. Sam and Dylan then run to the main pillar and fight in their turn. Shockwave tries to resist, but the Wreckers come in and force him out, forcing him to flee. Optimus, finally released from its shackles thanks to the Wreckers, shoots down, with the help of other Autobots (Bumblebee, Ratchet, Sideswipe and Mirage), 10 Decepticons (6 Protoforms, Brawl, Long Haul, Sideways and Scrapper) in a memorable charge before eliminate Shockwave and use his missile launcher to disable the main pillar. The duel begins between Optimus and his former Chief Sentinel Prime. Sam and Dylan then run to the main pillar and fight in their turn. Shockwave tries to resist, but the Wreckers come in and force him out, forcing him to flee. Optimus, finally released from its shackles thanks to the Wreckers, shoots down, with the help of other Autobots (Bumblebee, Ratchet, Sideswipe and Mirage), 10 Decepticons (6 Protoforms, Brawl, Long Haul, Sideways and Scrapper) in a memorable charge before eliminate Shockwave and use his missile launcher to disable the main pillar. The duel begins between Optimus and his former Chief Sentinel Prime. Sam and Dylan then run to the main pillar and fight in their turn. 10 Decepticons (6 Protoforms, Brawl, Long Haul, Sideways and Scrapper) in a memorable charge before eliminating Shockwave and using his missile launcher to disable the main pillar. The duel begins between Optimus and his former Chief Sentinel Prime. Sam and Dylan then run to the main pillar and fight in their turn. 10 Decepticons (6 Protoforms, Brawl, Long Haul, Sideways and Scrapper) in a memorable charge before eliminating Shockwave and using his missile launcher to disable the main pillar. The duel begins between Optimus and his former Chief Sentinel Prime. Sam and Dylan then run to the main pillar and fight in their turn.

For her part, Carly found megatron and managed to mount against Sentinel who could steal his victory and become the leader of Cybertron. After Dylan reactivates the bridge, Sam manages to push him onto the pillar, where Gould is electrocuted, the Wreckers kill the Decepticon Devcon, Bumblebee and Ratchet breaks the pillar and disables the deck, creating a vortex that destroys Cybertron. Thanks to this turnaround, the duel between Optimus, who lost an arm, and Sentinel takes another turn with the intervention of Megatron, who wants only to take command. Megatron uses his shotgun to damage Sentinel before rushing on him. Optimus takes advantage of this temporary truce and manages to regain the upper hand by tearing Megatron’s head with the help of his ax of Énergon before Run Sentinel with the megatron shotgun. The fight is over, humans and Autobots can live free againEarth .

Around the film

Megatron is not fully healed from his injuries in Transformers 2: Revenge ( Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen ) and is thus much less powerful than the first two films. It is transformed into an industrial truck, its first terrestrial transformation since the beginning of the series. Shockwave , first announced as a major antagonist, is finally downplayed and appears as Megatron’s watchdog , having only one word of dialogue in the film. Due to the rare appearances of Megatron and Shockwave , the role of the major antagonist is attributed to Sentinel Prime, which makes for the first time an Autobot the main villain of the film. Barricade reappears in the th movie despite his absence from the e . It is largely reduced to a secondary role although it sees the killing with his own hands Q . Soundwave also reappears in this rd opus. It no longer transforms into a cybertronic satellite as in the nd opus and keeps its status of communications officer. Some generic Constructicons such as Long Haul and Scrapper are seen in Chicago. The Autobots Skids and Mudflap that appeared in the previous opus, come back in this third film. However, they are only seen in two planes throughout the film, and only at the base of the NEST: the first where the Autobots park in the HQ (they can be seen at the bottom of the tail), then the second where Ironhide receives a new weapon from Wheeljack (one of the twins appears in the background). They will not be reviewed at all after this scene. In the comics, we learn that they were killed by Sentinel Prime just after Ironhide.

Continued on a highway is from the movie The Island , released in 2005 , and directed by Michael Bay , as one of the extras was wounded during the shooting of a waterfall, time location on the highway was shortened 23 . He had already used shots of another movie ( Pearl Harbor ) in the first Transformers 24 .

During the film, Sentinel Prime pronounces several times the phrase “the good of the majority passes before that of some”. This is a reference to Spock’s character , played by Leonard Nimoy (and VO voice of Sentinel), who pronounces the same phrase in Star Trek .

Following an interview with Megan Fox for the British magazine Wonderland Magazine where she compares Michael Bay to Hitler , he made the decision to remove her from her role as Mikaela Banes , which is why she does not appear in Transformers 3. At the beginning of the film, he is even told about Sam’s new friend: “She will leave us, like the other”.

Errors

  • At the beginning of the film, we can see a NASA official on the phone, in an office decorated by a collection of rocket models. We see in particular, the rocket Saturn V , used from 1967, while the scene takes place in 1961.
  • When Dylan Gould ( Patrick Dempsey ) shows photos of him wearing racing gear, his name is “Patrick Dempsey”, the real name of the actor. Indeed, motorsport is one of his hobbies, and he ran, in particular, the 24 Hours of Le Mans , in 2009.
  • The images showing the triumphant return of the Apollo 11 astronauts present these coming out freely from the Apollo ship and evolving in the open air. NASA, not yet knowing that the Moon was totally devoid of life, had set up a quarantine period for the Apollo crew, quarantine that will also last for Apollo 12 and Apollo 14 until NASA removes this procedure because of the sterile nature of the moon. But the writers did not consider this important, nor even rewarding, 25 and did not put this passage in the script.
  • When the Autobots arrive on the Moon, we can see the complete lunar module of the Apollo 11 mission . Since astronauts have returned to Earth, the habitable module should no longer be present.
  • Sentinel Prime turns into a fire truck Rosenbauer Panther. However, being for years asleep in his spacecraft on the Moon , he has obviously not yet scanned this vehicle. Optimus Prime is seen bringing back the sleepy body of Sentinel Prime , already composed of truck parts (window, wheel …).
  • At the beginning of the film, we see the characters go to the city of Chernobyl . The city that we see in general is not Chernobyl, but Pripiat , the closest to the central. It is therefore impossible for characters to visit the buildings around the nuclear complex as quickly from the central square.
  • At the beginning of the film, we see a false connection with Carly Spencer who has a cap that disappears on the next complete plan.

Adaptation in video games

Activision has developed a video game on Xbox 360 consoles , PlayStation 3 , Wii , Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS 26 . The video game trailer airs in February 2011 27 . The versions for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 are developed by High Moon Studios who previously developed the Transformers video game : War for Cybertron . Behavior Interactive has developed versions for Wii, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS. Each version of the game was officially released on June 24, 2011. The story of the game is just before the third game.
