Według tfw2005.com, który podał na swej stronie SPOILER dotyczący początku filmu,
jest to fragment 5 minutowy, jego większą cześć widzimy w Zwiastunie z Grudnia 2010,
gdy Apollo 11 ląduje na księżycu, a Amstrong oraz Aldrin rozpoczynają wędrówkę po
Arce. Pierwszym ujęciem filmu jest Cybretron oraz walka Autobotów z Decepticonami.

Following the title sequence, the camera floats through space until it lands on the planet
Cybertron which is littered with giant metal constructs. From afar we witness the great
battle-between Autobots and Decepticons as Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen)
begins his voice-over. Describing the interminable battle on the planet’s surface, an
airship flies by which Optimus reveals has cargo that could have saved them.

The airship with the precious cargo begins to fly away from the planet’s surface just
when Decepticon ships successfully blow it up. We're then transported to 1961 New
Mexico where the surface of the moon is being analyzed. We then see the Autobot ship
crash land and scientists detect the impact. Knowing that they need to see what’s going
on, a call is made to Washington and a CGI version of John F. Kennedy is shown
discussing America's need to beat the Russians to the moon in order to figure out
exactly what’s going on. We then watch archive footage of JFK’s famous address in
which he stressed the importance of getting a man on the moon.

More archive footage of Apollo 11’s launch is shown as well as Walter Cronkite’s news
coverage of the event. Finally we see Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin land on the lunar
surface, with Armstrong proclaiming that “The Eagle has landed,” before giving his
famous line, “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” After this quote, a
man at mission control turns a knob and the signal feed is cut. Even some NASA
scientists have no idea what’s going on. Speaking to the astronaut on a private feed, one
of the insider’s says “Neil, you are dark on the rock. Mission is a go. You have 21
minutes.”

Neil and Buzz then travel across the moon’s surface to the location of the crashed ship,
which is enormous in contrast to the size of the humans approaching it. Arriving at the
edge of the ship, Neil kneels down and the dust sinks down to reveal a giant metal face.
Reporting the findings, Neil then says that the ship has suffered a great deal of damage
and that they won’t have time to explore the entire ship. There are no signs of life, but
what the astronauts witness is not lost on him. “We are not alone, are we?” Mission
control says into the radio. “No we are not,” Neil responds.

We then watch archive footage of President Richard Nixon as he praises the efforts of
NASA in getting a man mission successfully to the moon. The command module
Columbia flies safely into the Pacific Ocean and the entire mission is viewed as a
success, with the general public having no idea about their actual motives. As the
heroes are arriving back on land, a metallic suitcase is placed into a trunk labeled “Top
Secret.” Back on the moon the camera flies into the inner bowels of the ship where we
see a giant transformer – to later be identified as Sentinel Prime – whose eyes suddenly
begin to glow, suggesting that he is still active. Flying into the robot’s pupil, moving
machinery forms the film’s title: Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
