Dylan Gould

Dylan Gould is the hidden main antagonist of Transformers: Dark Of The Moon. He is the reviver and master of the Deceptions who intended to rule the world, and recreate the Cybertron Planet, in order to survive the Autobot/Deception war, and recreate them as a "hero" and infamous inventor.

Information
Dylan is the CEO of Hotchkiss Inc., and from the first moment, he had the delusional idea to create cars out of deception and autobot material. It was all revealed to be part of a plan to revive a war, survive it with his team of deceptions, and rule the entire world.

Background
Dylan hired Carly to create for him cars out of the deception's body materials. It was in a secret intention to revive the war between the deceptions and the autobots, survive the war by using the winning side, and rule the entire world.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon
Dylan invites Sam through Carly to view his business, introducing his deception named cars, secretly real deceptions, with the intention of Sam buying one of them. He and Carly buy one of his most fancy, yet dangerous cars, secretly built of Soundwave. Dylan helps him off with his new car, telling him he is lucky to have Carly. Later, his clients are killed in the cars manufactured by him. He later appears when Soundwave reveals himself to Sam and Carly, actually keeping Carly as a hostage. He signalled Soundwave for a time to kill her, and put a deception on Sam's arm, as that deception has strangled his arm, tracking every movement of his. Sam then surrendered, and was taken away by two of his thugs. Dylan then revealed to his hostage Carly he was intending to rule earth as well as recreate and rule the Cybertron Planet. It was revealed that Sentinel Prime was actually stealing for him cores of energy called the pillars, in order to rebuild the Cybertron Planet from their energy.

It was revealed he is doing so as a plan to rule the world, and that he intends to survive a futuristic war.

When Sam came to rescue Carly, he ordered a deception to strangle Carly, and Laserbreak to throw Sam out of the window so he will fall and die. However, Sam managed to rescue Carly, and defeat some top-ranked deceptions.

He later tried to climb up to get control on the pillar, however, before snatching it, Sam encountered him, and told him not to do it. However, he did snatch the pillar, and it made the planet stronger. Sam in reaction pushed him into the pillar, causing him to be electrocuted, and the pillar to diactivate, thus he was killed by the electric biomes.

Personality
Dylan at first pretends to be nice, calm, and shallow, only to hide his true nature. He is ambitious, evil, greedy and lustful, as he would refuse to loose control on the world and get weakened or killed during the war he has created. He is manipulative towards Carly, as he would woo her only so she will support his evil scheme.
