Pada 1961, kapal angkasa [[Cybertron]], ''[[Ark (Transformers)|Ark]]'', yang membawa ciptaan yang mampu menamatkan perang antara Autobots dan Decepticons, terhempas on the far side of the [[moon]]. Hempasan ini dikesan dari Bumi oleh [[NASA]], lalu Presiden [[John F. Kennedy]] authorizes a mission to put a man on the moon as a cover for investigating the craft. Pada 1969, kru kapal angkasa [[Apollo 11]] mendarat di permukaan Bulan untuk explore the craft.

Working together, the Autobots and human soldiers manage to rescue Carly and destroy [[Soundwave (Transformers)|Soundwave]], [[Barricade (Transformers)|Barricade]], [[Starscream (Transformers)|Starscream]] and [[Shockwave (Transformers)|Shockwave]] with Optimus using Shockwave's arm-cannon to blast the Control Pillar, disabling the Space Bridge. Sam confronts Gould as he reactivates the Control Pillar. Sam knocks Gould into the Pillar, electrocuting him. Bumblebee and Ratchet arrive and destroy the Control Pillar, permanently disabling the Bridge and causing the partially transported Cybertron to implode. Optimus and Sentinel fight while Carly convinces Megatron that he will be replaced as leader of the Decepticons by Sentinel. Sentinel severs Optimus's right-arm and prepares to execute him when Megatron intervenes, incapacitating Sentinel. Optimus attacks Megatron, decapitating and killing him. Sentinel pleads for his life but Optimus executes him. With the Decepticons defeated, Carly and Sam are reunited and the Autobots accept that with Cybertron gone, Earth is now their home.

As a preemptive measure, Michael Lucchi and Paramount announced a July 1, 2011 release date in [[IMAX]] [[3-D film|3-D]] for another ''Transformers'' film before completion of ''Revenge of the Fallen''. Director [[Michael Bay]] responded, "I said I was taking off a year from ''Transformers''.

[[Charlie Jane Anders]] of [[io9.com]] believed that some elements of the film were deliberate self-references to Michael Bay's own sense of under-appreciation after the backlash to ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen|Transformers 2]].'' "After a few hours of seeing Shia get dissed, overlooked and mistreated, the message becomes clear: Shia, as always, is a stand-in for Michael Bay. And Bay is showing us just what it felt like to deal with the ocean of Haterade — the snarking, the Razzie Award, the mean reviews — that Revenge of the Fallen unleashed." She went on to say that the film's frequent, often jarring shifts in tone were an intentional endorsement of Michael Bay's own filmmaking style. "Tone is for single-purpose machines. Consistency is for Decepticons. Michael Bay's ideal movie shifts from action movie to teen comedy to political drama with the same well-lubricated ease that his cars become men.
