Live Action
The Space Bridge is used in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen by Jetfire who reveals that it is the fastest means of transportation. Here it is presented as a form of teleportation, utilized by Seekers as well as the Dynasty of Primes for rapid transport. However, perhaps because of Jetfire's lack of practice, it causes the main protagonists to fly all over the area in Egypt and Sam Witwicky's left hand is burnt as a result (Covering Shia's hand injury). The Fallen also uses the Space Bridge himself near the climax of the film.
In Transformers: Dark of the Moon, five pillars for a space bridge and Sentinel Prime are recovered from the Ark while the Decepticons retrieved hundreds fifty years earlier. Using the pillars, Sentinel is able to transport hundreds of Decepticons to Earth and later bring Cybertron into space above Earth. When Optimus Prime blasts the Control Pillar for the space bridge with Shockwave's cannon, the bridge is temporarily deactivated but is reactivated by Dylan Gould before Sam Witwicky kills him. The Control Pillar is destroyed by Ratchet and Bumblebee causing the bridge to suck up all the Decepticon ships it transported from the moon into Cybertron which collapses as it wasn't fully transported and is destroyed.

Famous quotes containing the words live and/or action:
“The cycle of the machine is now coming to an end. Man has learned much in the hard discipline and the shrewd, unflinching grasp of practical possibilities that the machine has provided in the last three centuries: but we can no more continue to live in the world of the machine than we could live successfully on the barren surface of the moon.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
