* ButtMonkey: Starscream. Megatron brutally bashes him out of retribution for being a traitor, having abandoned Megatron to die back in the first film and usurping his rank as the leader of Decepticons.

* IHaveComeTooFar: Sam in the later stages of the movie.

* BadassArmy: The multinational NEST strike team and US military are both depicted as such. The latter of whom take part in the final battle.

* AmericaSavesTheDay: Just like the previous installment the American military is once again present to aid the Autobots in thwarting the Decepticons.

* BadassArmy: The multinational NEST strike team and US military are both depicted as such. The latter of whom are present in the final battle.

* AmericaSavesTheDay: The films use of this tropes grates on many Transformers fans since it gets in the way of the core theme of the show. The American military almost seems to be better at fighting the Decepticons (a threat completely alien to Earth) than the Autobots (said alien threat's ancient enemies)!

* BadassArmy: Like the previous installment, the film is very big on portraying the US military this way. Made even more badass by the fact that the US soldiers appear to be ''[[UpToEleven more effective against the Decepticons then the Autobots do.]]''

* [[TearOffYourFace Give Me Your FACE]]!

** Optimus Prime tears The Fallen's face off of his robotic skull before punching through his chest and tearing out (and crushing) his spark core. As The Fallen's eyes flicker off, he sags to the ground, [[SymbolicBlood liquid metal dripping out of his mouth]]. As this happens, Optimus proclaims: "[[BondOneLiner I rise, you fall]]." Granted, The Fallen had been trying to use a Solar Harvester to drain the energy of Earth's sun and Optimus [[PapaWolf was defending the world]], but that doesn't change the gruesomeness of The Fallen's death.

** In an obvious case of [[SpecialEffectFailure Special Effects Failure]], Wheelie shines several lights on a map to pinpoint where Sam can find an Autobot that can interpret the symbols pointing him towards the Matrix. The nearest, Jetfire, is located "in Washington", however the light is clearly shining on New Jersey.

* StuffBlowingUp: It's a Bay movie, so that's a given, but ''Fallen'' has apparently set a Guinness record for the largest explosion with the actual actors in the shot. According to Shia on ''TheTonightShow'', it used ''one thousand'' gallons of gas. It also took about seven months to plan, set up and execute... which was about the length of time to complete principal photography for the movie as a whole.

* ArtisticLicenseGeography: According to this film, the Pentagon is in Washington D.C., not Virginia. Egypt and Jordan share a border (there's a little country named Israel between them), the Pyramids are portrayed as being in walking distance of the Sphinx (close, but not quite), the Valley of the Kings (thousands of miles away) and Petra (in a completely different country).

* CombiningMecha

* CyberCyclops: Ravage

* DefectorFromDecadence: Jetfire

* DeusExMachina: The film has a classic example. When Devastator climbs the pyramid, Simmons [[spoiler: manages to somehow contact a nearby warship captain on a hand radio and convinces him to use a "railgun" super weapon. This weapon obliterates Devastator and yet was not mentioned previously in either of the two movies, nor was it used again. It seems like a pretty handy weapon to have and even of a superior technology to that of The Transformers. It also seems odd that it was not used again, since The Fallen stands in the exact same place only a few moments later.]]

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: [[spoiler: Alice, sexy college chick, turns out to be a Decepticon. She sexually assaults Sam with the intent of either killing him or turning him over to Megatron (it's unclear which), Mikaela walks in on them, Alice Decepticons out, and a chase/shootout through the college campus ensues. Mikaela insists it's Sam's fault the hot-chick-who's-actually-a-robot was on top of him, and Sam's attack by the unholy love child of a Franchise/{{Terminator}} and [[{{Film/Species}} Sil]] is only ever played for laughs.]]

* DynamicEntry

** Sgt. Epps wonders aloud about Optimus, "If God made us in his image, who made him?" In Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction, we get closer to finding out.

* TheLoad: Sam himself acts very much as The Load to the rest of the Transformers. His only purpose is to have a head (and later, a sock) full of the {{Macguffin}} and to get it where it needs to go, and since that job requires him to run across a battlefield full of giant robots....

* MsFanservice: Mikaela Banes, not surprising considering she's played by Megan Fox, she shows more skin in this movie than in the last film, her clothing in this film mainly consists of shirts that leave her shoulders bare or tight-fitting pants. And when she does wear clothing with sleeves, it gets ditched eventually for an shoulder baring outfit; for example, her pink and white coat gets ditched around the end of the film for the pink spaghetti tank top underneath it and she even gets an entire scene where she removes her Biker jacket revealing her white strapless dress underneath.
** Alice at first but turns into FanDisservice with the reveal that she's a Decepticon tht is out there to kill Sam
** Most of Female students at Sam college.

* DemotedToExtra: [[spoiler: In which Arcee [[http://www.agonybooth.com/movies/Transformers__Revenge_of_the_Fallen_2009.aspx?Page=6 gets blown up real good]]. This after much expectation that she would actually do something of note.]] Ironhide and the other Autobots from the first movie, except for Bumblebee and Optimus, of course, share something of a total of 10 lines between the lot of them. Meanwhile, these [[OneSceneWonder memorable characters]] were replaced with [[TheScrappy the Twins]].
