Transformers (2007)

Transformers is the 2007 live-action film based on the popular Hasbro toy franchise. Directed by Michael Bay, the film centers around two factions from a race of alien mechanical lifeforms, the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons, as both seek out a powerful object known as the "All Spark" hidden somewhere on Earth. The cast included Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, and Jon Voight. The Transformers saga continued onscreen with 2009's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, 2011's Transformers: Dark of the Moon and 2014's Transformers: Age of Extinction and 2017's Transformers: The Last Knight.

= Handguns =
==Beretta 92FS==
A Beretta 92FS can be seen in the hands of a police officer who arrests Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) when he reports his car stolen. USAF Technical Sergeant Epps (Tyrese Gibson) and most of the U.S. Special Ops soldiers accompanying Captain Lennox (Josh Duhamel) carry Beretta 92FS pistols as their sidearms, likely standing in for the US Army standard issue Beretta M9 in the case of the latter. In the final battle, Special Ops soldiers including Captain Lennox himself carry Berettas in their leg holsters with the latter seemingly replacing his Para 1911 G.I. Expert from earlier.
===Special===
==Glock 17==
When FBI Agents storm the house of Glen (Anthony Anderson), one has a Glock 17 in his holster.
==Para 1911 G.I. Expert==
Captain Lennox (Josh Duhamel) can be seen carrying a Para 1911 G.I. Expert pistol as his sidearm in a Serpa-retention holster, and uses it to threaten Agent Simmons (John Turturro) and other Sector 7 agents during the standoff.
==SIG-Sauer P226==
Secret Service agents onboard Air Force One can be seen using SIG-Sauer P226 pistols as their sidearms (a factual error: The United States Secret Service never used the P226, only the P228 and P229 in 9mm and recently switched to the .357 SIG because it has more stopping power). The Sheriff at the police station (Rick Gomez) also brandishes a P226 while threatening Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) during his interrogation.
==SIG-Sauer P228==
One of Captain Lennox's men draws what appears to be a SIG-Sauer P228 during the standoff in the Sector 7 headquarters, likely standing in for the US Military issue M11.
==Smith & Wesson Model M&P==
A village militia member in Qatar is seen briefly firing a revolver that appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model M&P.
= Submachine Guns =
==Heckler & Koch MP5KA4==
Heckler & Koch MP5KA4s are seen being used by Secret Service agents onboard Air Force One, as well as a few Sector 7 agents (notably Brian Stepanek) when meeting the Autobots, who are quickly disarmed of their weapons by Jazz (voice of Darius McCrary).
==Heckler & Koch MP5A3==
FBI agents are seen armed with Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns during the raid on Glen's (Anthony Anderson) home, fitted with Surefire 628 dedicated forend weaponlights and Navy trigger groups. Sector 7 agents can also be seen brandishing these in their first meeting with the Autobots, but are promptly disarmed by Jazz's powerful magnet. During the standoff between Captain Lennox's team and Sector Seven at the Hoover Dam, one of Duhamel's men (Brian Shehan) can be seen smacking a Sector 7 soldier in the face with the butt of an MP5A3 fitted with RIS rails, dual mag clamp, and an M68 Aimpoint red dot scope. 
==Heckler & Koch UMP-45==
Sector 7 soldiers can be seen using Heckler & Koch UMP45s in several scenes during the film, fitted with varying accessories including C-More red-dot sights.

==Mossberg 590 (Customised)==
A heavily customized Mossberg 590 with a standard full length barrel, extended magazine tube and bayonet lug adapter is picked up Keller after he smashes open the glass case. However after Keller passes the shotgun to Maggie Madsen (Rachael Taylor), it changes into a short barrel variant which she and later on Agent Simmons (John Turturro) use the shotgun to fend off Frenzy at the Sector 7 headquarters. Both versions of the shotgun are heavily customized with a USMC heat shield, a Mesa Tactical top receiver rail with an EOTech 552 holographic sight and a Magpul M93A modular stock attached to a Mesa Tactical M4 adapter block. The same (or similar) full length Mossberg 590 would later appear in Rambo.

S.I.R. #45C handguard, a Surefire M900A foregrip with integrated weapon light, Vltor EMOD stock, Yankee Hill Machine Co.

==Colt M4A1==
Throughout the early stages of the film, US military personnel at the US Special Operations Command Central (SOCCENT) base in Qatar, as well as Captain William Lennox (Josh Duhamel)'s Delta team carry M4A1 Carbines as their primary weapon and are notably used during Blackout's attack and the fight against Skorponok. The US military soldiers at SOCCENT all carry M4A1s with the detachable carrying handle rear iron sight while the carbines used by the Delta special forces team are fitted with various SOPMOD accessories including Trijicon ACOG TA01 scopes, AN/PEQ-2 IR designators (which are erroneously shown emitting a laser beam that can be seen by the naked eye instead of the real AN/PEQ-2's invisible Infra-Red laser), RIS foregrips and some are painted in desert camouflage schemes while others are not. Lennox's Delta team, most notably Air Force Technical Sergeant Bobby Epps (Tyrese Gibson) also wield M4A1s equipped with M203 grenade launchers and Trijicon ACOG scopes attached on top of the detachable carrying handle rear sight.

The Decepticon Blackout has an arm-mounted GE M134 Minigun, which he uses to lay suppressing fire on the jeeps at the Qatar base; presumably one of the door guns from his MH-53 alternate mode.

The Decepticon Starscream (voiced by Charles Adler), being a Lockheed Martin/Boeing F-22A Raptor in vehicle form, has a 20mm M61A2 Vulcan Cannon, which while never used in vehicle form, is used by him to fire from his arm during the final battle in Mission City both to engage real USAF F-22's and the Autobots.

Sector 7 soldiers can be seen with early model standalone RM Equipment M203PI grenade launchers while in the Hoover Dam and during the final battle with the Decepticons in the streets of Mission City.

Milkor M32 MGL launchers are used by Sector 7 soldiers and Captain Lennox (Josh Duhamel) and his team to battle the Decepticons during the fighting in Mission City, and are fitted with the factory Armson OEG reflex sights.

During the attack on the SOCCENT base, ACWO Jorge "Fig" Figueroa (Amaury Nolasco) uses heavily-modified Ramo RT-37 to fire at Blackout. Sector 7 soldiers and many of Captain Lennox's (Josh Duhamel) team including himself use the Ramo RT-37 during the final battle. Captain Lennox most notably uses one when he charges Blackout on a commandeered motorcycle, skidding underneath the Decepticon to get a clear shot at the robot's weakly-armored lower body. All of these riot control launchers fitted with Bushnell Holosight XLP red dot sights, barrel shrouds and M4 type stocks. Like the other grenade launchers in this movie, it produces a large muzzle flash which is not remotely possible in real life.
