Alternate Real Life Production: After the negative reception of Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen and mainly due to the negative stereotypes with Skids and Mudflap, Crude portrayal of women, black people, little people, and unfunny adult humor, Paramount decided to fire Michael Bay from directing the third transformers movie and chose Christopher Nolan as the director for Dark Of The Moon. With Nolan as director, changes were made by giving the lead role to Yumiko Shaku, replacing Shia Labeouf and several characters having their voice actors recasted. Nolan would make the movie more serious and be given a dark tone unlike it's predecessors and would cut out much of the humor seen in Michael Bay's direction. Movie Premise: 4 years after the events of Revenge Of The Fallen, Yukio Minami, N.E.S.T. field commander, takes part in the final days of the war between Autobots and Decepticons as they battle to obtain a powerful device that can restore their Planet, Cybertron. But the Decepticons are planning to take over earth and it's up to Yukio, N.E.S.T., and the Autobots to stop this threat.
