Samuel James "Sam" Witwicky is the main human protagonist of the opening trilogy of the Transformers film series and the posthumous protagonist of The Last Knight.

He was portrayed by Shia LaBeouf.

His Good Ranking[]

What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Good?[]

In General[]

  • Unlike Cade Yeager, Sam isn't lethal towards every Decepticon and enemy Human he encounters and refuses to kill unless he has no other option, as he even apologized to the revived Megatron for having killed him.
  • Unlike most human characters in the films, he treats the Autobots with genuine respect and care, understanding they are fully sentient and conscious beings and not just mindless machines.
  • He constantly risks his life to save others from the Decepticons even though he's scared out of his mind and is just a human being compared to armed mechanical soldiers that tower over him.

Transformers[]

  • He offered Mikaela a ride home when he saw her walking alone, which also started off their relationship.
  • When he sees Bumblebee, he leaves a message for his parents believing he's going to die.
  • Even though he was innocent, he still complied when being arrested and went along with the interrogation.
  • He tackles Mikaela in an attempt to protect her from Barricade who is chasing him.
  • He fights against Frenzy, albeit he was very scared and tried to run away.
  • He reassured Mikaela about Bumblebee and expresses gratitude after he saved their lives.
  • After the Autobots explained the importance of Archibald Witwicky's glasses he agreed to help them and give them to them, being very aware he holds the fate of humanity in his hands.
  • He tried to keep the Autobots from accidentaly destroying his father's yard even though he failed.
  • When Sector Seven detained him he refused to give any information on the Autobots.
  • He frantically tries to help Bumblebee when Sector Seven captured him, even punching an agent and attacking him, before being tackled down by more agents.
  • He demands the freedom of his parents and Bumblebee in exchange for helping Sector Seven. Additionally, he also asks for the expunging of Mikaela's criminal record.
  • He asks Simmons to free Bumblebee when Starscream attacked the Hoover Dam.
  • He takes Bumblebee to the Allspark and then goes with him to Mission City to keep it safe.
  • He refuses to leave Bumblebee when his legs were damaged by Starscream.
  • He takes the Allspark to a building so it can be escorted out of the city.
  • He kept going until the top of the building in spite of being attacked by Blackout and Starscream and even Megatron himself.
  • When Megatron offers him survival in exchange for the Allspark he refuses, and is nearly killed when Megatron drops him from the building. Since he didn't know Optimus would save him here, he was fully prepared to die for the greater good, which Optimus commends him for.
  • He refuses to use the Allspark to kill Optimus instead using it against Megatron, which killed him and won the Autobots the battle, making Sam directly responsible for their victory.

Revenge of the Fallen[]

  • After having a Mental Breakdown in class, he calls Mikaela telling her not to touch the Allspark shard, incase it might happen to her too.

  • He becomes fully determined to find the Matrix of Leadership upon learning it could resurrect Optimus.
  • Even when the Matrix crumbles to dust, he gathers it and refuses to give up on Optimus.
  • When seeing that Rampage has his parents he offers to give the Matrix dust before being saved by Bumblebee.
  • He orders Bumblebee to get his parents to safety before proceeding with his mission.
  • He is killed by Megatron when running towards Optimus to resurrect him, proving how far he was willing to go, and that he's prepared to die for his allies.
  • According to the Primes, he was destined to find the Matrix and save Optimus.
  • Upon being resurrected he worries over Mikaela instead of himself and tells her he loves her.
  • His first action after being restored to life is to bring back Optimus, making Sam once again directly responsible for the Autobots' victory and The Fallen's demise.

  • Even though he was no longer as involved in matters resolving the Transformers, he still tried to search for ways to help them.

  • He helps escort Sentinel back to base, putting his life on the line due to the attacks from the Dreads.
  • He orders the Autobots to protect Sentinel and tries to make a good strategy with Lennox.

  • He apologizes to Carly for putting himself in danger and said she was all he needed, and he would do anything to make it up to her.

The Last Knight[]

  • After the Autobots began to be hunted by the government and Cemetery Wind, he stayed by their side unlike other human allies.
  • He was a member of the Order of the Witwiccans which was an organization dedicated to protecting Transformers and peacefully coexisting with them.
  • It's heavily implied he died while protecting Optimus during an ambush, meaning he was by the Autobots to the very end and sacrificed his life for them.

What Prevents Him From Being Pure Good?[]

  • He has some moments where he can be a jerk such as rudely talking to Bee for not coming home, despite knowing he had important missions with the other Autobots although it was merely playful and sarcastic banter rather than anything negative so it’s a minor prevention.

Trivia[]

  • He was originally rejected and approved as Inconsistently Admirable for a while before being reproposed and approved.
  • He and Cade are the only Transformers Near Pure Good to be human beings.
