## Analysis

* From the start of the film, Noah s shown to be an expert with electronics, as he was successful in fixing one of Reek's video cassettes.
* Since there does not seem to be a father in the picture, Noah has to look after both his mother and Kris. He already proves to be a good brother when he tries (and fails) to make breakfast for Kris. Noah also scolds Kris for trying to hide the pain and inflammation in his hand. Noah also gets upset at the hospital when they refuse to take in Kris, despite him being an 11-year-old boy.
* Noah can't even get a job down to support his brother and mother because the manager refuses to hire him, mostly due to his racist subtext. The reason the boss will not hire Noah is apparently due to his inability to work well with a team.
* Even though he tries to steal a Porsche, Noah realizes he cannot do it because it is not the right thing to do.
* When Noah first meet Mirage, he takes up a steel pipe until Mirage stops him. However, Noah is more or less uspet that Mirage practically abducted him.
* After meeting Optimus Prime, Noah is immediately afraid of him and throws the steel pipe away. However, Noah will stand up for himself when Optimus insulted him. However, Noah disrespects Optimus throughout the entire confrontaton until Mirage reveals that Optimus is just feeling guilty for being unable to get off of Earth.
* Despite having a chance to leave the Museum while in possession of the Transwarp key, Noah ultimately decides to come back for Elena, despite her trying to abandon him earlier. He stops Freezer as he is about to attack her.
* After their battle with Scourge, Optimus and Noah unfairly lay blame on each other for what happened and further insult each other.
* Upon learning Unicron is the master of the Terrorcons and what he will do to the Earth, Noah realizes his family will be in danger and he forces himself into joining Elena and the Autobots. Optimus makes it avidly clear he does not want the human involved. Angry, Noah states he will go, with or without Optimus' approval and coldly tells him that he will not rely on someone who has already doomed his own people. The next morning, Noah and Optimus glare at each other.
* While on Stratosphere, Noah distracts Elena when she is getting air sickness by asking about her father. While they are sitting in silence, Noah whispers to Elena that they will have to destroy the key when they find it. He wants to do this to save Earth, his brother and mother. However, Noah doesn't realize how selfish he is being by putting Earth and Humans before the Autobots and Cybertron until he is on the verge of destroying the Key, and Optimus begs him not to destroy it.
* When Optimus Primal angrily confronts Noah and Elena, Noah willingly places himself in front of her.
