* Dylan's only hope in the final battle is to act in broad daylight, going against his undercover work so far, as it's the only way the Decepticons will see he's on their side. While the Decepticons may be aware of human collaborators, the only ones who would care to keep them alive are Sentinel, Megatron, Soundwave and Laserbeak; Soundwave and Laserbeak have been comfortable operating them, Sentinel needs someone tame, and Megatron (for this film) is too injured to harm them.

* The third film has the Autobots destroy an illegal nuclear plant in the Middle East. A news report later says that no country has taken responsibility for the attacks. The problem, however, is that the soldiers in the plant clearly saw Dino transform into his robot mode, and the US is the only country that has Autobots. Wouldn't people be able to put two and two together, especially since Autobots and Decepticons are now common knowledge throughout the world?
** Maybe they thought Dino was Italian...
** "Taken responsibility" means no country has admitted publicly that they were behind it. Bee could've gone in waving the American flag and blaring a medley of John Philip Sousa if he wanted, and technically the US, as a country, could have still not "taken responsibility" for the attack.

** With this in mind, consider that Dylan’s last words are him raving at Sam whether he thinks he’s a hero by what he did. While SanitySlippage is in effect at this point, from Dylan’s perspective by leading the humans as a slave force he’s keeping them alive while Sam’s resistance to the Decepticons is going to get everyone killed, so in his view Sam is the one endangering them all. He’d have a point if it the Chicago massacre hadn’t proven that the Decepticons are fine with killing people regardless of how useful they can be.

* In the game it is mentioned that Transformers are more durable in Stealth Force mode. This makes sense if you consider how the transformers function, particularly in the films, in most cases the vehicle kibble forms armour covering a robotic frame. it makes sense therefore that Stealth Force mode would be more durable, as the armour is more complete, making it less likely that vulnerable systems could be accessible to attackers.

* Megatron spends most of the movie watching the battle from afar, unlike the last two films where he was constantly in the heart of the battle, and the only reason he was able to subdue Sentinel was because he took the fallen Autobot by surprise. Getting a chunk of your skull blown/torn out by two separate Primes will do that to you.

* Sentinel Prime seeks to use humans to rebuild Cybertron. Even with six billion workers, it’d be like ants building on a mansion. Then again, Sentinel or the Decepticons don’t necessarily need the human race as resources, just as people to rule over; it’s a superiority complex.
* Soundwave and Dylan display characteristics of spies: they work under cover, manipulating events in their favour. However, they lose their effectiveness once they reveal themselves, and are not much good in direct combat.
** Dylan in particular displays the dark traits of espionage after the reveal: he loses most of his charm, he is constantly in fear of being killed, he doesn’t see or care beyond his own survival, he treats people like tools to his own desires, and he ultimately has nothing to believe in or fight for (he loses his apartment, his only main contact who could have kept him alive, and is totally alone in his final scene).
* DOTM is the only film that has the Decepticons keep humanity alive, while every other film has them gunning for genocide. It’s within reason to believe that Dylan was the one who suggested humanity as slaves, as a compromise to keep Earth spinning and to keep humanity intact. This makes his actions in the film more tragic and desperate, if not less evil.

* Sentinel Prime, played by Leonard Nimoy, [[spoiler: has an Evil Spock goatee]].
* It's a mystery where Optimus got his new weaponry from in the third movie. But then you remember that [[spoiler:Jetfire brandished an axe and had a machine gun that Optimus used in the second movie. Optimus salvaged Jetfire's remains for himself to honor the late seeker. Also, by using Jetfire's weapons, he can in some way fight alongside a Prime and make a positive difference.]]
