* ''Transformers''.
** "I'm counting to five." "I'm counting to ''three''."
** Also:
--->'''Jazz:''' "You want a piece of me!? You want a piece!?"
--->'''Megatron:''' "No, I want ''[[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe two!]]''"
** And:
--->'''Sam Witwicky''': I'd like to introduce my friend, Optimus Prime.
** The F-22 attack on Megatron stands as CrowningMomentOfAwesome for the US military. He had been in an even fight with Optimus Prime, but a single salvo of [[strike:American]] 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]].
** Optimus Prime Vs. Bonecrusher on the Freeway. That is all.
** The U.S. military gets one early in the movie with their coordinated ground forces, A-10, and AC-130, forcing Scorponok to actually retreat, leaving a piece of itself behind.
** 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.
** Ironhides CMOA is the fight against Brawl. The fact that he starts out by dodging two shots from Brawl by rocket-jumping says it all.
* ''Revenge of the Fallen''.
** About five minutes into the movie: "Autobots, I am in pursuit!"
** ''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 [[HolyShitQuotient he isn't joking]].
*** Just so we're perfectly clear, the "face" line comes in [[spoiler:the final battle of the movie, between "Jetpower" Optimus Prime and the eponymous Fallen. Optimus grabs The Fallen, shouts something that ended with "...now ''give me your face!''", and ''tears his face off''. Then he grabs The Fallen's spear, stabs him ''through what's left of his head'' with it, then stabs him again through the chest, and finally lets the corpse fall to the ground...[[BondOneLiner "I rise...you fall."]]]]
**** Not only stabs him through the chest, he ''PUNCHES THROUGH HIS CHEST, RIPS OUT THE ROBOT EQUIVALENT OF A HEART, AND CRUSHES IT IN HIS FIST.'' As if it wasn't awesome enough already.
***** Further clarification to the spoiler above after 5 compulsive rewinds in slow motion of the DVD: [[spoiler: The full quote began with " '''You picked the wrong planet!''' " Optimus then stabs the Fallen with his own spear through the chest, smashes him against a wall with a growl, snarls " '''Now give me your face!''' "-- and the rest is as above.]]
*** This editor and his brother refer to everything after [[spoiler:Prime is revived]] as the "Optimus Prime Has Had Enough Of Your Shit" sequence.
*** Especially in the Forest battle [[spoiler:right before Optimus is killed]]
---->'''Optimus Prime:''' "I'll take you all on!"
** When Galloway orders the Autobots to leave on the grounds that it's their fault Earth has attracted so many Decepticons.
--->'''Optimus Prime:''' Very well. Freedom is your right and I will honor it. But ask your President this, "What if we leave, and you're ''wrong?''"
** At this point, can we just say everything Optimus Prime does?
*** Hell '''YEAH'''! The big bot is ''made'' of awesome.
** Sideswipe cleaving Sideways in two. "Damn, I'm good."
** The little guys - namely the spider-like, sadistic and [[AxCrazy absolutely insane]] Doctor, during [[spoiler: Megatron's revival]]. He quickly notes that, to carry out his work, he needs parts to graft. How does he get them? He instantly orders the surrounding Constructicons, bots far taller and more powerful than he, to sacrifice one of their own almost ''casually'', and they follow this ''instantly'', brutally tearing apart one of their smaller comrades. Impressive because of the sheer pull he had over them, even if it was somewhat only implied, and the Doctor's order itself: ''"Kill the little one!"''
** Following up on this is 'Reedman', the unofficial name given to the near paper-thin Decepticon scout formed by Ravage's merged nanobot swarm. Upon being detected by guards after [[spoiler: stealing the Allspark shard]], he starts hightailing it out of the complex he's in by ''slicing a soldier in two after running '''through''' him''. One hell of an exit.
** Megatron gets one in the forest battle. Optimus has been winning against him, Starscream and Grindor (which in itself is a [=CMoA=] for Optimus), when he gets distracted, just for a moment... Cue Megatron and Starscream initiating an absolutely ''brutal'' tag-team NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, which ends with Megatron [[spoiler:''killing'' Optimus.]]
** During the final battle: how do you destroy a CombiningMecha several hundred feet long? You hit it with a ''railgun.''
*** The best bit of this is the realization that Simmons, to get them the target, basically told them to ''fire at himself'', and fully expected to [[HeroicSacrifice get killed]] in the process.
*** Devastator itself gets one earlier on, [[spoiler:when it ''inhales'' one of the [[TheScrappy annoying-as-Hell]] Twins. Too bad it wasn't permanent.]]
** "Feel the glory of Jetfire!", anyone?
** Scorponok's DynamicEntry, exploding from the ground, [[spoiler:''burrowing into Jetfire'' and pulling his mechanical guts out]]. This is followed immediately by ''Jetfire's'' [=CMoA=] [[spoiler:where he pulls Scorponok off him and ''smashes'' it with a fist]].
** [[TheScrappy Annoying]] as they are, even the twins get one each- Skids' revenge-fuelled assault on Devastator when he [[spoiler: believes Mudflap to be dead]], and Mudflap ''blasting his way out through Devastator's mouth''. Even if the two were irritating, among other things, these two moments, at least, made them shine.
** Bumblebee's fight with Rampage (the Constructicon with the tread-whips). Bumblebee kicked Barricade's ass handily in the first movie, but that fight was almost entirely off-screen. Here, though, you get to see him beat the crap out of the 'Con, and it's an ''awesome'' beating.
*** He gets another in the same scene, wherein he grabs Ravage by the tail and slides one fist down him lengthwise, effectively ''wiping his body clean''.
**** Made all the more spectacular when 'Bee turns and smacks down another 'Con with Ravage's ''spine''.
** How are we overlooking Mikaela giving a fracking Decepticon ''Stockholm Syndrome''? Especially when it comes with this line, spoken in the sweetest, nicest, most NightmareFuel laden voice imaginable:
--->'''Mikaela:''' But I'm not not going to burn your ''other'' eye off. I'm not going to burn it off.
** Just about everything [[MagnificentBastard Soundwave]] does.
