History Film / TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen

* {{Fingore}}: [[spoiler: After temporarily killing Sam]], Megatron takes a tank round to the arm that blows off a chunk of his hand. It doesn't really affect him, since he can just have it repaired later, though an onslaught of suppressing fire forces him to retreat.

'''Optimus:''' Yes we do, Sam. More than you know.\\\

[[caption-width-right:350:''"Fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing."'']]

* {{Gainaxing}}: Mikaela during a few scenes in the desert... in slo-mo, no less, and at a completely inappropriate time.

''Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'' is the sequel to the hit film ''{{Film/Transformers}}'', released 2009. It has been complemented by 3 sequels such as ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon'', ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction'', and ''Film/TransformersTheLastKnight''.

** One to ''Film/{{Armageddon}}'', the Decepticon meteorites striking Paris, along with people running from collapsing buildings.

* WithOurSwordsScene: The film ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'' features Jetfire sacrificing himself after a severe injury so that Optimus Prime can snap on his rocket parts for the high-altitude final [[CurbStompBattle battle]].

-->'''Optimus Prime:''' ''Our races united by a history long forgotten and a future we shall face together. I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message so that our pasts can be remembered. For in those memories, we live on.''

* InertialImpalement: Take UpToEleven by Sideswipe with an inertial ''bisection'' by stabbing Sideways through the hood and then planting his blade into the ground while Sideways is driving.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Megatron's own relentless wrath and urge to kill Sam gets the better of him and it ultimately unwinds the Decepticons' advantage in the war. By having shot Sam with his fusion gun when the boy was running to Optimus with the ashes that were once the Matrix of Leadership, the Thirteen Primes decide that Sam's HeroicSacrifice makes him worthy enough to possess the Matrix once again tangible, allowing him to resurrect Optimus. [[NiceJobFixingItVillain Great going, Megatron]], you were your own worst enemy this whole time.

Two years after the first movie, the Autobots are working alongside Human Special Forces from around the world to deal with random Decepticon arrivals. Sam is heading off to college and has to deal with saying goodbye to Mikaela and encourages Bumblebee to return to the Autobots full time. But when Sam uncovers a fragment of the Allspark, he has secrets of Cybertronian history downloaded into his subconscious mind, including the location of an energon harvester left on Earth by ancient Transformers, the Seven Primes and the founders of their civilization. One of those Primes, known as The Fallen, is [[TheManBehindTheMan the secret mentor]] to Megatron.

When another Allspark fragment revives Megatron, Sam becomes a target so that they can locate one of the most sacred of Cybertronian artifacts, and key to the Harvester, the Matrix of Leadership.

* AsYouKnow: Galloway goes through this on a "secure" satellite line, detailing both the location of Megatron's corpse and the Allspark fragment. Naturally, Soundwave is listening in.

** Under the influence of the Allspark, Sam rambles in Astronomy class about the [[Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon "Sentinel Prime expedition"]], and explains (while writing what appears to be an equation in Cyberglyphics) what might possibly be the Space Bridge.

* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Wheelie, upon being found by Mikaela while trying to retrieve the [=AllSpark=] shard that was given to her by Sam.

* OhCrap: During this little exchange during the desert battle.

* WithOurSwordScene: The film ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'' features Jetfire sacrificing himself after a severe injury so that Optimus Prime can snap on his rocket parts for the high-altitude final [[CurbStompBattle battle]].

* Redplicabaron: Divebomb from the movie toyline transforms into an Albatros D.III in Red Baron-inspired livery.

* {{Gainaxing}}: Mikaela during a few scenes in the desert... in slo-mo, no less, and at an completely inappropriate time.

* PantyShot: We get a shot of Alice's panties when [[spoiler:she seduces Sam]].

* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Wheelie, upon being found by Mikaela while trying to retrieve the AllSpark shard that was given to her by Sam.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: [[spoiler:"Alice" is a Transformer that A) is not giant, and B) [[ParanoiaFuel can literally look like humans]]. Worse yet, she acts in this capacity ''as a Decepticon, [[AdultFear directly luring/pressing Sam into bed so she can attack him]]''. You would think the fact that '''Megatron has shapeshifting Terminators capable of seducing and sexually assaulting human beings on his payroll''' would cause some serious turning of heads as to just how dangerous these robots really are, but she barely gets any mention after Sam and Mikaela kick her ass. Granted, Pretenders are a thing in the original cartoons, but still…]]

* HoistByHisOwnPetard:
** Optimus bends Megatron's own fusion cannon to point at his face. Megatron fires anyway, blasting away half his face, before Optimus propels him with his rocket cannons. Megatron calls out for [[TheDragon Starscream]] to join the battle immediately, but Starscream refuses to fight claiming the battle's been lost.
** Megatron's own relentless wrath and urge to kill Sam gets the better of him and it ultimately unwinds the Decepticons' advantage in the war. By having shot Sam with his fusion gun when the boy was running to Optimus with the ashes that were once the Matrix of Leadership, the Thirteen Primes decide that Sam's HeroicSacrifice makes him worthy enough to possess the Matrix once again tangible, allowing him to resurrect Optimus. [[NiceJobFixingItVillain Great going, Megatron]], you were your own worst enemy this whole time.
** When Fallen produces his spear, Optimus immediately grabs it and impales him with it.

* UseTheirOwnWeaponAgainstThem: [[spoiler:Optimus blasts Megatron in the face with his own fusion cannon. Optimus then [[TearOffYourFace tears off the Fallen's face]] with his own spear before finishing off the villain with a punch through the chest.]]

-->-- '''Sgt. Epps''' ''(musing about Optimus Prime)''

* FanDisservice: [[spoiler: Alice, once you realise what she really is. Two words: tentacle, ''tongue''.]] Leo puts it best:

* FauxActionGirl: The Arcees. At first glance, they're among the more interesting of the new Autobots introduced: a trio of female motorcycle Transformers.
