Revenge of the Fallenmovie
While packing for college, Sam was talking with his girlfriendMikaela,preparing a long distance relationship kit packed with certain items from when they got together. As he offered up the infamous D-Day shirt he wore at Mission City, he discovered a fragment of the AllSpark had been stuck in the shirt. When he touched the fragment, it activated and he dropped it. It burnt a hole through his bedroom floor and into the Witwicky kitchen, where it sent out a pulse ofEnergon radiationwhich brought the household appliances to life.
After coming to life, the appliancebots proceeded to cause havoc and mayhem, chasing down Sam and trying to shoot him. Sam escaped through his bedroom window, but the appliancebots continued their assault, even expanding it to includeRon Witwickyand the dog house forMojoandFrankie.As Ron and Sam sought cover behind the backyard fountain, Sam called toBumblebee,who was hiding in the garage. Bumblebee opened fire on the appliancebots, killing them, but also destroying much of the house.Revenge of the Fallen

Notes
- The term "appliancebot" comes from thefilm novelization.The various creative types interviewed on the RotF DVD/Blu-Ray special features refer to them as "Kitchenbots", while a RotF coloring book also refers to them informally as the "Kitchen Crew".
- Apparently the robot the animators nicknamed "Dickbot the blender guy" was the leader of the Appliancebots at one stage of development, suggesting a more substantial role for them.
- The appliancebots in this film are more comical and less feral, homicidal maniacs than the Allspark Mutations in the first film.
- When the shard hits the kitchen, the fridge is seen opening, but no robot is seen coming out of it. Maybe its courage level is low.
- WhenSamis picking up the shard in the kitchen, you can see the CISCO Aironet hanging where it was pre-mutation. Either it survived, or somebody goofed up.
- In theScholasticbook adaptationof ROTF, the AllSpark shard somehow brings even the knives and forks in the Witwicky kitchen alive.
