Transformers/Awesome: Difference between revisions

*** The commander of the base gets a mild one for managing to cut the information feed off from him.

** Speaking of the Decepticons, Frenzy gets one of these, consisting of somehow hacking and sneaking off Air Force One by doing the following:

'''4:''' Strutting right past a multitude of cops, then getting into Barricade's car mode and [[Flipping the Bird|flipping them]] [[Crowning Moment of Funny|all off.]] }}

* Prime got this right about the time he killed Bonecrusher by stabbing him in the face with a sword, then decapitating him.

** "[[Catch Phrase|Freedom is the right of all sentient beings]]."

* This exchange between Agent Simmons and Captain Lennox:

'''Lennox''': *shoves gun against Agent's chest* "I'm going to count to three." }}

* Captain Lennox is pretty cool throughout the movie, but his CMoA is definitely during the final battle, where he charges Blackout on a motorcycle at high speed, jumps off the motorcycle and ''slides under'' Blackout to deliver a point-blank shot with a grenade launcher.

** The whole scene could be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umXFmKd-s3A here]

* How about when the Sector Seven agents are taking the kids away, and suddenly their car is lifted several feet into the air by a 30 foot pissed off robot? While the agents can just stare up at Optimus, Prime delivers a line that would make a sane man shit himself: "Taking the children was a ''bad move''.... Autobots, relieve them of their weapons." Prime scorning these humans who had moments before been total dicks, followed by Jazz using a massive magnet to hijack all of the Agent's weapons and reducing them to being nothing more than fleshy slag, is quite endearing to this Troper.

* The F-22 attack on Megatron stands as [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for the US military. He had been in an even fight with Optimus Prime, but a single salvo of <s>American</s> human missiles brought him to his knees.

* Starscream taking on several F-22s, seamlessly shifting between his jet and robot form, and destroying about half of them {{spoiler|before hiding among them and seemingly taking part in the attack on Megatron}}.

== ''Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'' (2009) ==

* Optimus {{spoiler|rolling up to Demolisher, transforming, then jumping right onto THE GIANT DECEPTICON'S HEAD, and shooting it in the face}}.

* Just before that, Optimus {{spoiler|skydiving into Shanghai}}.

* Skids and Mudflap {{spoiler|did the exact same thing to Devastator, except in a twin combination, and they didn't actually beat Devastator. Still awesome to watch though}}.

** {{spoiler|Mudflap did that after being eaten by the thing. He forced his way out of the side of its HEAD}}.

*** {{spoiler|Right out of its EYE... and then he proceed to beat the thing's other eye with the remains of the last eye}}.

** {{spoiler|Devastator was then destroyed by this awesome '''human-made''' [[Wave Motion Gun|railgun]] on a destroyer a couple miles away}}. Hell, once again the Humans in general putting up a good fight, and even taking down some Decepticons on their own.

* Devastator itself gets one earlier on, {{spoiler|when it ''inhales'' one of the [[The Scrappy|annoying-as-Hell]] Twins. Too bad it wasn't permanent.}}

* Sideswipe cutting Sideways in half.

** For this Troper, it the fluid motion of it, his badass pose, and line afterward:

* Optimus Prime taking on Megatron, Starcream and Grindor at the same time, [[Dual-Wielding]] his arm blades, and {{spoiler|ripping off Starscream's arm and ''beating him with it''}}.

'''Optimus''': ''[[Papa Wolf|"You'll NEVER stop at one!]]'' ''[[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|I'll take you ALL on!!"]]'' }}

** Don't forget about the asskicking that ensued after that. Topped off with Optimus killing {{spoiler|Grindor}} and commenting on exactly what he thinks he's made of.

*** Nor Optimus at the beginning of the forest fight. To elaborate, Optimus was trashtalking Megatron while slapping him with a tree, abandoning it then just resorting to his fists.

 

** Virtually every single move Optimus Prime delivers in that fight is a CMoA. Towards the beginning, Starscream jumps at him from behind, and Optimus simply turns around and catches him by the throat in midair. Without letting go, Optimus then kicks Megatron out of the way almost as an afterthought, then lifts Starscream up to kicking height, upside-down, and gets him right in the face. As a result, every move administered to Starscream is a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]].

** It should also be noted that {{spoiler|during his previously stated [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment in the big battle, he had killed Mixmaster by slicing him in half with his cane then decapitating him with his cane followed by killing Scorponok by crushing his head with his fist after Scorponok had drilled into his innards}}.

* Lennox giving the [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]] his just desserts by faking an emergency and getting the latter pulled out of their cargo plane by parachute drag. Also counts as a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]].

'''Galloway:''' Wha- *Galloway is yanked out of the plane by his parachute* }}

* Though a painful [[Epic Fail]] moment for fans of Devastator, it is a testament to just how brave and honorable a man Ex-Sector-Seven Agent Simmons is when he climbs ''right next to the 100 foot giant Decepticon'' so {{spoiler|the US military can pinpoint EXACTLY WHERE to fire their prototype railgun into the Steel Beast, preventing it from exhuming the Sun-Destroyer}}.

* In the opening chase, the twins and Arcee are in pursuit of Sideways. As they chase him into a side street, Sideways doesn't even bother to turn. He ''transforms, leaps through the building directly in front of him, somersaults as he lands and transforms back into vehicle mode.'' Leads to a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] as Sideways goes directly through an old man's living room, leading to nothing more then a slightly confused expression from the old man. This also leads to Arcee's CMOA, as, without skipping a beat, all of her components follow him through the building and continue firing at him.

* After seeing Optimus come back from the dead [[It Was His Sled|(big shocker there)]], the Fallen [[Villainous Breakdown|goes berserk]] and throws himself at Optimus, clawing madly and shrieking that Prime will "die like [his] brothers!" Prime's response?

"You picked the wrong planet!" }}

* ''Every single moment'' of the entire 30 minute climax of RotF. Especially {{spoiler|Optimus Prime, with ''jet engines fused to his back'',}} and the line, "'''GIVE ME YOUR FACE.'''" And [[Holy Shit Quotient|he isn't joking]].

** This editor and his brother refer to everything after {{spoiler|Prime is revived}} as the "Optimus Prime Has Had Enough Of Your Shit" sequence.

* When Galloway orders the Autobots to leave on the grounds that it's their fault Earth has attracted so many Decepticons.

* At this point, can we just say everything Optimus Prime does?

** Hell '''YEAH'''! The big bot is ''made'' of awesome.

*** Made all the more spectacular when 'Bee turns and smacks down Rampage with Ravage's ''spine''.

* Mikaela giving a fracking Decepticon ''Stockholm Syndrome''. Especially when it comes with this line, spoken in the sweetest, nicest voice imaginable:

* Soundwave using Galloway's [[As You Know]] to plan the theft of their Allspark shard.

 

* Wheelie and Brains, the two smallest Autobots in the film, manage to {{spoiler|''hotwire an entire Decepticon cruiser''}}

* Optimus' {{spoiler|slaying of Megatron consists of him jabbing his energon axe into Megatron's skull and pulling out both Megatron's head and spine from his body with one arm.}}

Optimus: "Time to find out." }}

** At first, it seemed a tad strange that {{spoiler|Optimus would execute Megatron so brutally even though Megatron was talking about a truce. Then it struck me that Optimus was likely venting three movies worth of rage on Megatron for his murderous ways (including killing Jazz and however many hundreds of thousands of humans killed in ROTF and DOTM). That made it seem more badass, as Optimus likely knew Megatron would never change, and deserved what he was about to get.}}

** {{spoiler|She didn't trick him. She just flat out ''talked'' him into it. She psychologically manipulated ''Megatron.''}}

** And let's not forget that {{spoiler|she outright ''insults Megatron to his face'' while doing so ''and lives''}}:

* The humans breaking through the Decipticon defenses and managing to sneak into the city.

** On that note, the Osprey crews are certified BAMFs. Their planes are going down, they ''know'' they are going to die. Their response?

Loadmaster: "Go! Go! Go!" }}

* Simmons, when he's not being [[Crowning Moment of Funny|a walking CMOF]], he's usually being this...helps that he's [[Crazy Awesome]].

** As was his assistant, [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Dutch]].

* The [[Mexican Standoff]] between two Decepticon [[Mook|Mooks]], Ironhide and Sideswipe...it ends just about as well as you'd expect [[Curb Stomp Battle|for the mooks]].

** Ironhide's arrival into that fight was a CMOA in itself. He comes tearing in at full-speed in truck mode, rams both Decepticons in a head-on collision which causes him to flip over them, transforms to robot mode in mid-air, and lands on his feet with both guns already drawn and cocked at the Decepticons' heads.

* The car chase scene, specially when Bumblebee avoids obstacles while transforming in mid air, grabbing Sam in slow mo, transforms back into car mode...[[Crowning Moment of Funny|Sam's reaction doubled this as a different kind of crowning moment too]].

* The novelization adds a little one for Ironhide. Whereas the film had him & Sideswipe engaging the two remaining Dreads in a gunfight, the novel has ''five'' Dreads charging at the NEST base. Ironhide simply transformers, stands in their path, and becomes The Immovable Object, letting the 'Cons literally crash into him. Each of the Dreads is killed on impact, while Ironhide simply withstands the hits with little more than some scratches and being knocked back a bit. He then casually brushes Decepti-parts off of himself and quips "[[Bond One-Liner|They just don't make them like they used to]]".

* When {{spoiler|the Autobots return for the final battle after having been thought destroyed with their ship, Optimus delivers what may be the single most badass line in the entire franchise:}}

** {{spoiler|It's the ''way'' he says it more than anything.}}

* The novel also adds a {{spoiler|[[Dying Moment of Awesome]]}} for The Twins. Skids {{spoiler|dives in front of a shot fired by Sentinel Prime at Bumblebee, saving Bee's life at the cost of his own. This causes Mudflap to fly into an [[Unstoppable Rage]] and charge Sentinel, dodging the traitorbot's shots, tackling him to the ground, and pummeling him as hard as possible. It does little harm to Sentinel, but it does give the others time to escape, and as Sentinel blasts him, Mudflap continues to attack him relentlessly even as he is literally disintegrating. Sentinel even mentions that Mudflap died a death worthy of an Autobot}}.

== Dreamwave Transformers comics ==

* In a ''[[Transformers]]'' vs. ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' comic set in [[World War II]], Grimlock and Roadblock are hanging onto a cliff, and Grimlock is starting to slip. He tries to get Roadblock to save himself, that he'd try to hold on long enough for him to get up, but Roadblock refuses:

* In the second Generation 1 mini-series, Ultra Magnus takes down Menasor while still in truck mode. He does this by hurling insults to each of the Stunticons that make the Combiner. This drives Menasor insane and allows Ultra Magnus to catch air and ram Menasor IN THE FACE.
