The movies work pretty hard to make sure that vehicle and robot modes are congruent with each other, so it's pretty amazing to think of how much planning went into Drift's transformation scheme and design, especially considering that they had to take his samurai motif into account.

* Cemetery Wind has Tessa with a gun to her head. Cade already gave up Optimus, but they didn't believe him. He doesn't stop struggling, demanding they get away from his daughter. Ultimately, this devotion is what snaps Optimus out of his HeroicBSOD. He bursts up through the barn floor, knocking away the CW soldiers, and ''roars'' at them.
--> '''Here I am! Raaahr!'''
** In the midst of [[StuffBlowingUp everything exploding]], Cade has the presence of mind to grab one of CW's drones. Which later proves pretty integral to the plot.
** Equally impressive, Optimus causes a ton of chaos and destruction, but ''doesn't kill anyone''.
* Shane may be TheScrappy, but he still does some awesome shit. His establishing character moment comes when he ''[[CarFu punches a soldier in the face with his car.]]''
* The car chase that follows is too full of awesome to be described. Highlights include: Shane driving through a building; Optimus fighting Lockdown on the factory roof in the background, which culminates in him impaling the bounty hunter with a crane hook and tossing him over the side; and Shane driving off the third (?) floor of the factory onto a ramp.
* The "Autobots Reunite" scene.
** Creator/SteveJablonsky's score sounds simply epic, the heavy drums giving it a more tribal feel than the usual "Arrival To Earth".
** Optimus sends out a call to all the surviving Autobots- the time has come. He scans a new form, more heavy duty and sleek than ever before. As the Autobot symbol appears on his grill, the [[TheTransformers G1]] transformation noise (unheard since the first film) plays.
** Both Shane and Hound [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] how awesome the scene is.
---> '''Hound:''' Oh yeah! ''Hell yeah!'' He's back! He's alive! (fires gun into the air) '''''OPTIMUS IS HERE!'''''

** We also get to see that Drift is a triple changer, and he changes from both robot to helicopter and reverse!

** Optimus' transformation in that scene is something else entirely. It's not the cold anger in his [[Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon confrontation with Charlotte Mearing.]] It isn't the confidence and battle-readiness from when he [[{{Film/Transformers}} arrived in Mission City.]] You can sense the grief and anger burning inside his soul, the fires of war reignited. While that may involve a bit of FridgeHorror, given that its directed at humans, one can't help but clench up from the sheer amazing over-the-top wowness of it. ''Roll out!'', indeed.

* A few more for Cade:
** Overnight, he takes apart a truck and deduces that it is in fact, ''not'' a truck. He does it all by hand (no robot arms like in a factory, or KSI labs). And some parts are made of super-dense Transformium, likely weighing hundreds of pounds.
** When he realizes what the truck is, he doesn't panic. He instead decides to ''hide'' the transformer so he can reverse engineer it. Balls of freaking Transformium on that one.
** He talks Optimus down from the proverbial ledge after the Autobot leader awakens.
** And then he fixes the alien robot. In one afternoon.

* In spite of the numerous historical inaccuracies, and the overly obvious CGI, the opening is quite intense. It lacks the narration of the previous films, instead showing a space ship passing the camera Film/StarWars style. The ship then flies down to Earth and a valley full of dinosaurs- which it then blows the shit out of for no apparent reason. We see the dinosaurs try to run from an advancing wave of liquid metal, only to be cut down mid-stride.
*A subtle one for Darcy- she walks into the excavation site (which seems to be outside national law, governing things like, say, murder) defying its rules, and blatantly dares the security man to shoot her.
*Cade is a walking CMOA.
** He played football in high school and retains a muscular physique
** He's an inventor who has made numerous robots that don't quite work, but would only require a little tweaking to sell
** He's a protective father who just wants the best for his daughter
** He also employs his slacker best friend, presumably because no one else will
** And he doesn't hesitate to stick up for the theatre owner when his grandson is disrespecting him
