* The murder of Ratchet early on. Yes, MURDER, it can be classed as nothing else. He's a Medic. He's hiding, the CIA flush him out. The start shooting him and EVENTUALLY he defends himself, and then he even surrenders. And they rip him apart just the same. Even without the rest of it, medics are exempt in wartimes (unless they attack). If Ratchet had been classed as human, this would be a horrific war crime.
** When Optimus and the others see it via the drone. In all continuities, Ratchet is one of Optimus' oldest and dearest friends. And he's just seen him slaughtered by the very people he helped save. Face it, anybody would be angry.



** Angry Optimus Prime in general.

** Tessa is basically a walking, talking can of NightmareFuel for Cade, with a healthy dose of AdultFear thrown in for good measure. It starts with her dating (and possibly having relations with) a 20 year old man and goes downhill from there.

* Judging by Attinger's KillEmAll policy when it comes to the Autobots and their human allies, it's probably safe to assume any characters who don't return from Dark of the Moon have been killed.

Unless Attinger is letting them live as bait, in which case the Autobots can't contact them and the humans don't know if their friends are alive or dead.

* Optimus' first transformation in the film, from the Yeagers' ( [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Lucas's]] ) perspective. Think about it: one of the aliens that participated in the Battle of Chicago is right in front of them, ''with a loaded weapon'', rambling about how he's going to ''kill them''.
* The Autobots breaking into KSI. Unlike the last few films, they no longer care for human casualties and are fine with ''shooting up and destroying the entire building''.
** Worse, we don't see any humans dying, but FridgeLogic would say otherwise..

* Attinger in general. Kellsey Grammer's acting is downright chilling and does an excellent job showing just how fanatical and ''insane'' Attinger is. In fact, several reviewers have noted that Attinger's portrayal wouldn't be out of place in a ''DieHard'' or other such "Hard R" action movie.
