Transformers (2007)

M4A1 Carbine

There are several appearances throughout the early stages of the film of M4A1 Carbines, used by U.S. military personnel at the U.S. Special Operations Command Central (SOCCENT) base during Blackout's attack, as well as by Captain William Lennox (Josh Duhamel)'s Ranger team. The M4A1's used by the special forces team are fitted with various SOPMOD accessories including ACOG 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 camougflage paint schemes.

M203 Grenade Launcher

In addition to the accessories mentioned above, several M4A1's used by Cpt. Lennox's (Josh Duhamel) Ranger team are equipped with M203 grenade launchers, most notably Air Force Technical Sergeant Bobby Epps (Tyrese Gibson).

Colt Model 933

Captain Lennox can be seen carrying a Colt Model 933 carbine as his weapon of choice in Qatar, distinguishable from the M4A1's carried by his men by the shorter 10.5" barrel. His weapon is fitted with an M68 Aimpoint red dot and AN/PVS-17 night vision scope, a Surefire M900 weaponlight foregrip, Command Arms Accessories ARS stock, custom "Vortex" style muzzle brake, and an AN/PEQ-2 IR designator (which inaccurately emits the same visible green laser as those on his mens' M4A1's).

M16A2

There are two brief appearances of M16A2 rifles in the film, first in the hands of soldiers responding to Blackout's arrival at the SOCCENT base when he begins his attack, and later in the hands of soldiers guarding Air Force One as Frenzy sneaks off the plane.

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

Brügger & Thomet GL-06

Another weapon used by Sector Seven soldiers and Captain Lennox's team during the final battle are several heavily-modified Brügger & Thomet GL-06 grenade launchers, covered in Hollywood embellishments and fitted with an unknown red dot sight (appeares to be a Bushnell Holosight).

Secret Service agents onboard Air Force One can be seen using SIG-Sauer P226 pistols as their sidearms (a factual error: the Secret Service never used the P226, only the P228 and P229) This was also done in Air Force One. A cop at the police station (Rick Gomez) also brandishes a P226 while threatening Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) during his interrogation.

Trivia special: Brawl

Brawl's tank form is an extremely large prop rather than a real tank, and was originally built for the movie XXX 2: State of the Union; it was modified for Transformers to carry a replica of the "Venus Fly Trap" MCBS [minus the two forks and "dog bone" magnetic mine detonator] and a pair of quad missile launch tubes on the secondary turret. The hull is a modified truck chassis with the rear shortened and the radiator cut off, using a Freightliner diesel engine and rubber band tracks taken from a construction vehicle; it is noticably too light for a real Abrams, as can be seen from how high it rides up as it runs over a car in Mission City. In addition, extras in the Mission City sequence don't seem to have been advised that they should be avoiding a 40-foot area surrounding the tank's turbine exhaust; some are standing in positions where they'd be severely burned if the tank was real.

The main gun is secured using a non-functional travel lock that has a tendency to disappear and reappear between shots, most likely there to stop the top-heavy prop turret falling off the chassis during the car-crushing sequence, as it has no visible hinge to fold down and is not a component of either the Abrams or the Leopard 2, the two tanks the prop is based on. Indeed, the turret visibly wobbles during this sequence. The main gun noticably doesn't recoil; barely at all in one shot of the muzzle, and not at all in another; by comparison, when the CGI version of the tank fires shortly afterwards the gun recoils as would be expected.
