Megatron (Arctic Truck)
Description: Following his mutilation at the conclusion of Revenge of the Fallen, Megatron returns (albeit weakened and still disfigured) as a Mack tanker truck. In robot form, Megatron hides his injuries under a tattered cloak, though his propensity for power and tyranny remain intact – as does his iconic fusion cannon.

Optimus Prime (FlightTech) – Autobot
Description: Optimus Prime is the the brave leader of the Autobots – and a habitual defender of freedom. Following his “fall” in Revenge of the Fallen, Optimus now pulls his iconic tractor trailer when in Peterbilt Truck vehicle form. In battle, the trailer transforms into a storage locker that houses a variety of weaponry including combat blades, heavy duty plasma cannons, and a mech-tech jetpack.
-
Que – Autobot
Description: Que, also referred to as Wheeljack in Dark of the Moon (and other marketing materials), is an Autobot genius reminiscent of Albert Einstein. The character’s name was changed in post as a nod to the James Bond inventor, Q – who more closely matches the bot’s role in the film (instead of G1 Wheeljack, who was more of a mechanic). When he isn’t at the base inventing weaponry for the Autobots, Que transforms into a blue Mercedes-Benz E550 for public appearances.
-
Scalpels – Decepticon
Description: These Decepticons serve the same basic function as the Doctor except instead of interrogating enemies they work in unison to repair their damaged comrades - usually with no appreciation. They have no discernible weapons systems or alternate mode.
-
Sentinel Prime – Autobot
Description: Sentinel Prime is Optimus Prime’s predecessor and mentor – as well as the “Einstein” of the Cybertronian race. Sentinel invented space bridge technology before being marooned on Earth’s moon after the destruction of the Ark. On Earth, Sentinel transforms into a Rosenbauer Panther 6×6 airport fire truck – and wields dual blades in hand-to-hand combat.
-
Shockwave – Decepticon
Description: Shockwave is one of the Decepticon’s most brilliant minds as well as deadliest warriors – and is fiercely devoted to Megatron. In addition to taming the infamous Driller creature, Shockwave terrorizes the Autobot resistance fighters with an arm-mounted AstroMag Cannon – and ice cold dedication to his mission. The Decepticon has no alternate form in the film but transforms into a Cybertronian tank in the Hasbro toy line.
-
Watch-bot
Description: This unnamed Decepticon affixes itself to a host around the wrist and gives the appearance of a regular looking timepiece – however, once it has tapped into the central nervous system it can control its host as well as, observe and record any data the host sees and hears. Once it has finished gathering intelligence it drops off and scurries back to the Decepticon base to report.
-
Wreckers
The Wreckers are a trio of Autobot mechanics that appear as battle-ready NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Chevrolet Impala stock cars – and are relegated to a NASA facility, due to their abrasive personalities. Until the Chicago invasion, the Wreckers spent the majority of their time maintaining the Autobot spacecraft, the Xantium. Leadfoot and Roadbuster are loud-mouthed bots that speak with working class Londoner accents – though Topspin has no speaking lines.
Leadfoot – Autobot
Description: Leadfoot could be considered the leader of the Autobot Wrecker team – he is loud, intelligent, destructive and belligerent of those he feels are beneath him, which is often the humans with whom he occasionally works. He often teams with Ironhide to make bigger and more destructive weapons and has Steeljaw for a pet. He alternate mode is Juan Pablo Montoya’s Chevrolet Impala and he is armed with powerful chain guns and rockets.
-
Roadbuster – Autobot
Description: Roadbuster is the most outspoken of the Autobot Wrecker crew and will always say what is on his mind – good or bad. He is the team’s main weaponsmith and creates almost all of the powerful weapons they use to hunt done and destroy the Decepticons. He somehow picked up a Scottish accent after coming to Earth and his alternate mode is Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s NASCAR Chevrolet Impala. He is armed with machine guns, a min-chain gun and rocket launchers.
-
Topspin – Autobot
Description: Topspin is the third member of the Autobot Wreckers team and serves both a soldier and scientist for them. He isn’t afraid to get a couple of nicks and dings in his armor during the course of fighting the Decpticons and he lives by the motto “If it isn’t difficult, I’m not interested.” He transforms into a replica of Jimmy Johnson’s NASCAR Chevrolet Impala and is armed with 4 massive machine guns and armor crushing claws.

whoa this is awesome.
shoulda put how/if they died and by whom!
Shadow – Thanks. I considered adding the deaths but ultimately decided to make this a “Who’s Who” of all the Transformers instead of a blow-by-blow account of their involvement in the films. As is it the piece took me close to 50 man hours to research and write up
Brawl calls himself Devastator in the movie though
I’m probably waiting on a trilogy set before buying the blu-rays, even though it is tempting to get TF3.
I couldn’t resist buying TF3 today. I know it’s just gonna be re-released in a couple months (along with the trilogy set), but I had to get it lol. Epic film.
Agreed!
yep. watched it twice in one day. gonna watch it again tomorrow….lol
Is It just me or does most of the robots in the third movie look terrible…its like they rushed to make them.
uhhhh no. the robots look awesome in the film. best cgi ever. you must need some glasses
I agree with lotto. The designs were crazy awesome, and the CGI should win an Oscar
Well there is definitely gonna be a fight between TF3 and Rise of the planet…huge explosions and falling building against CGI emotions….its gonna be very exciting to see the winner.
So many robots, and yet none of them were memorable. They should have kept the robot count to a minimum. Say 12-15 bots. Then they should have actually made the films about the bots and not the humans.
I just don’t get how you can make three films that are supposed to be about robots, with them being the main characters that drive the whole thing. And instead have them be completely forgettable and often so fleeting that it is pointless.
Oh, and they all look like ass. Especially “Que” bot – WTF?!
My sentiments exactly.
“They all look like ass” comment (almost spit coffee at laptop) Couldn’t agree more.
“I just don’t get how you can make three films that are supposed to be about robots, with them being the main characters that drive the whole thing”
They have 2 billion reasons why to make this film about robots.
“Oh, and they all look like ass”
Are you kidding me, best CGI ever. You must need some glasses.
“So many robots, and yet none of them were memorable”
Quit over analyzing the film and enjoy the pure epicness
“epic” my ass.
^-^
I agree that the cgi was pretty awesome. It’s just the designs, story and character development that weren’t. IMO
Pretty epic, actually. All the stuff about the space race. JFK and Nixon. Nascar transformers. Human carnage. The pretty much entire destruction of Chicago. An hour long action sequence that only let up a couple times to add the “story and character development”. Optimus killing Megatron with ONE ARM via ax to the face!
I’m sorry, but my epicometer was overloaded before “the ark” was shot in the beginning.
Bumblebee and ironhide are me favorites
x2 on ironhide!
I hate that Ironhide dies in DOTM.
Same, but that scene is epic.
I do wish Bay used Shockwave more though. Him and Starscream (weak death btw) are my favorite Decepticons.
Ironhide died in the first 10 minutes of the original 86′ Transformers movie. As well as several major characters.
I would have rather they killed bumblebee lol
caught me completely off guard though…
Hey guys, love the Transformers character guide. Just wanted to throw out a quick correction. Bottom of page 3, the Decepticon pictured is not Grindor. Grindor was killed by Optimus prior to the pictured Decepticon capturing Sam’s parents.
Brook – I will take another look at it. I think you may be confusing Blackout with Grindor though. Of course I had to research 78 robots and if I only messed up one I’m good with that ratio
no mention of soundwaves auto mode. i liked all 3 movies, but the mess at the end of rotf left me confused. there were duplicates of some of the constructicons.
Cool list bro.
-I could live without seeing another Bay movie for the rest of my life.
it would be interesting to see a list of dead transformers, so we know who we can expect for the fourth movie?
its going to be odd without megatron,starscream,soundwave, and shockwave on the decepticon team.
Didn’t Ravage have a pair of machine guns and a rocket launcher on his back or something?
Remember when Michael Bay said he’d give $25,000 to anyone who found the twins in TF3? Well, I saw them. They were in the trailer too. I wonder if he’s still gonna hold that up
I can;t wait for part 4 you know there will be one LOL movie companies HATE to let a money making machine go I hear they are planning a kinda origins movie for harry potter
You got your screencaps switched for Crowbar and Crankcase.
Saw this movie on demand and it was great and a lotta fun. Much better than the 2nd on thats for sure.
does anyone besides me knows that crowbars head is like a predator
I’m ok with the movies, grew up watching G1 as a kid, I love the CGI but I feel like there is just too much going on to really appreciate the awesomeness that is Transformers! The story is good, the development of the human characters is ok, as well as the transformers. My only major Gripe/Bi***/Complaint, why did they have to make the Pavelow into a bad guy!? My dad flew on this for almost 20 years in the Air Force Special Ops, its an amazing aircraft with a honorable and decorated service record, making it into a Decepticon almost felt like a slight to at least me and my family!
Gotta great idea for a transformers 4 story
transformers 3 is the bomb if they wont make a 4th one i will never sleep and if they do i will sleep with a smile on my face i bet you $999.999.999 they will make a fourth one in a year or two years
they didnt have that nascar race and the didnt have war path my favourite autobot the decpticons didnt try to bring back devastotor………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………autobots transform and roll out prime dosent say that (sigh)……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………the protoform ships are awsome cause sam rode on one o them ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………transformers is awsome.transformers is awsome.transformers is awsome.……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………they didnt put dirge theres only one decpticon left and that would be shockwave cause he wasnt in battle on earth i feel sorry for ienstien and ironhide and skids and mudflaps i hate sentinel he killed ironhide with his rust gun
True that,
This movie has captured every aspect, a good action movie is supposed to capture in my oppinion! i.e; girls and technology!
you got crankase and crowbar mixed up!
First of all,i just read all the comments and one thing really bugs me.There are no memorable characters?Are you retarded?Did you even watch the movies?I have watched them countless amounts of times.They definitely kick ass.Schockwave,Drillerbot,Ravage,Megatron and Devastator are not only memorable,but are badass as well.You just are clueless.I grew up watching the cartoon and playing with the toys.I normally watch horror flix,but for regular movies,they are at the top of the list.I also want to say excellent job putting the site together!!!I know everything about the transformers so if you ever need information,i got you.Keep up the good work.
Some of this is inaccurate. Ex- Grindor was dead (killed by Prime) in ROTF by the time that ‘picture’ was taken. That bot was someone else.
who is steeljaw?
