==Fiction==
===IDW ''Dark of the Moon'' prequel comics===

Dylan's father was a [[NASA]] accountant, who was approached by [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] in the early 1970s to manipulate the NASA budget and make further [[moon (moon)|moon]] landings financially infeasible, thereby preventing humanity from discovering the wreck of the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]] on the lunar surface. Soundwave provided the money Gould desired by tapping the stock market, and so the man went to work, ensuring that the [[1972]] landing would be the last. Years later, in [[1979]], believing matters on Earth to be secure for the time being, Soundwave called another meeting with Gould to announce that he would be leaving the planet for a time. Gould brought Dylan to this meeting, as he intended for his son to take over his position as Decepticon liaison in the future. Soundwave was impressed with the child's tenacity, and could see in him greater desires that the base riches sought by his father.

Dylan had inherited his father's responsibilities when Soundwave return to Earth in [[2007]], now running the family company and continuing to maintain the veil of secrecy around the moon, with the help of Soundwave's numerous other human pawns. Summoning Dylan upon his return, Soundwave could see that his desires had blossomed: not content purely with money as his father had been, Dylan wanted ''power''. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

Dylan poached administrative assistant [[Carly Spencer]] from the British Embassy some time after 2009 to serve as his personal assistant. According to her, fighting robots was kids' stuff compared to working for him. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4}}

Seeking to exploit Carly's boyfriend [[Sam Witwicky]]'s connection to the [[Autobot]]s for the Decepticons' own evil ends, Dylan arranged a job interview for him at [[Accuretta Systems]], on whose board of directors he had a seat. Visiting Carly at work to tell her the good news, Sam took an immediate dislike to the smarmy Dylan and the closeness he and Carly displayed, feeling further emasculated when he discovered Dylan had set up the interview for him. Dylan even gifted Carly a [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG]], and invited the young couple to a party at his estate, but Sam refused to go as he had begun to unravel the lunar conspiracy, though he had no idea Dylan was at the heart of it.

[[Image:Dylan 4.JPG|thumb|right|300px|]]
Soon after, when the recently-revived Autobot leader [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] revealed his treachery and joined with the Decepticons in using his [[space bridge]] to attack [[Washington, D.C.]], Sam raced to Dylan's estate to get Carly to safety. There, Dylan finally showed his true colors: The "Mercedes" was revealed to be a disguised Soundwave, who held Carly hostage while Dylan attached a [[Watch-bot|Decepticon watch]] to Sam's arm, instructing him to learn all he could about the Autobots' plans to fight back. With Carly Dylan's hostage and his nervous system tortured by the watch, Sam was forced to comply. But before leaving, he vowed to kill Dylan. Sam learned that the Autobots were planning to leave Earth with no retaliation due to being exiled at the demands of Sentinel Prime. Content with this information, Dylan gave the signal to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], who blew the Autobots' [[Xantium (DOTM)|spacecraft]] out of the sky, apparently destroying them. Dylan then said "We all work for the Decepticons now".

[[Image:Dylan_1.JPG|thumb|left|300px|]]

As the Decepticons set about razing [[Chicago]], turning the city into a fortress, Dylan took Carly to his penthouse and explained that the evil robots were planning to teleport [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] into the solar system, and put humanity to work rebuilding the planet: he had secured his and Carly's freedom by selling out his own race. When he tried to watch he was ordered to leave by Megatron ("I hate that guy, he's such a dick"). Dylan was visibly disturbed by the Decepticons' invasion and massacre of Chicago, but when questioned by Carly, all the traitor had to say was that everything was alright, as long as he was safe.

Chicago soon became a battleground, however, when the Autobots' seeming deaths were revealed as a deception, and they helped Sam break into Dylan's penthouse. Sam had Dylan at gunpoint, but Laserbeak entered the room, grabbed Sam and threw him off the side, but he was saved by Bumblebee's commandeered fighter and saved Carly. Dylan later reported the Autobots survival to Megatron himself. As the fighting grew more intense, several Autobots were captured by the Decepticons; formerly having viewed everything as "just business", Dylan urged Soundwave to execute them all for making things personal. Fortunately, the intervention of [[Brains]] and [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] saved most of the Autobots, and in the renewed fighting that followed, the control pillar for Sentinel's space bridge was shot from its perch and knocked offline.

[[Image:Dylan_2.JPG|thumb|right|300px|]]

With the Decepticon ships firing on Optimus, the Autobots battling Sentinel, and the Wreckers handling all ground-bound Decepticons, despite Sentinel's orders, the task fell to Dylan to reactivate the Control Pillar. Dylan made his way to the pillar but Sam tried to interfere, but Dylan pointed Sam's own gun at him. Sam tried to plead with Dylan to not go through with the Decepticons, but Dylan disagreed, stating that now there was no turning back from the future he had helped prepare for himself for years. However a piece of newspaper was caught on his face, providing a distraction and Dylan was forced to fight off Sam to reactivate the pillar. Dylan mockingly asked Sam if he thought he was a hero compared to himself, who had saved all of Cybertron. Sam refused, and struck him with a rebar. Toppling backward into the reactivated pillar, Dylan was fatally electrocuted by its energies.

It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

==Notes==
* As the movie progresses, Dylan and Carly appear to have some history together.

* He is the first human villain introduced in the [[live-action film series]], while most Transformers cartoons do have human villains, but not all are [[Decepticon-allied|Shawn Berger]].

* Dylan seems to have some respect from the Decepticons (although Megatron refers to him as an "insect operative"), who listen to him. This can be seen when he first ordered Soundwave to watch over Sam and Carly covertly (as her new car) and then for Soundwave to keep Carly contained but not kill her in order to get Sam to cooperate. Next, his cries of the Autobots' return are taken without question. Soundwave also listens to his advice about not taking prisoners.

* Dylan suffers a worse death in the comics and novel, being disintegrated. The scene in the film where he is shown being killed was possibly very limited due to timing or complications on several 3D CGI graphics. It could have been changed due to being too violent, however— this is [[Michael Bay]] we're talking about...

As the place became a battlefield, Carly quickly proved capable of defending herself.

On the day [[President of the United States|President]] [[Barack Obama|Obama]] awarded Sam Witwicky with a medal for saving the world twice at the White House, Sam met Carly Spencer. At that point Carly worked at the [[United Kingdom|British]] embassy. Despite getting off to an awkward start, the two young adults were attracted to each other. Soon Carly moved in with Sam, and she got a job as a secretary for [[Dylan Gould]], CEO of a major investments company and car enthusiast, who was also taken by her beauty. At some point she also met up with the decommissioned Autobots [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] and Brains.

After Mikaela Banes dumps him and he gets the Medal of Freedom from the President, Sam meets Carly, a beautiful, young British woman, and is attracted to her instantly and begins dating her. The two move in together into Carly's Apartment with Sam's dog and pet ex-Decepticons Wheelie and Brains. Carly gets a job as an assistant curator for Dylan Gould, caring for his car collection. Carly, calling Sam her "hero", wearing nothing but one of his shirts wakes him up for his job interview with a stuffed toy for him — a lucky bunny. Later, she is disgusted by Brains when she catches him looking up her shirt and going through her underwear drawer.

Sam visits Carly at work and meets Gould, and is suprised and feels slightly threatened on how close he is with her becoming jealous of Carly's friendship with him, especially as he calls her "duchess". Carly is annoyed by Sam's jealousy and tells him off for it.

After Sam gets a job, Carly, using a new sports car that Dylan gave her— A Platinum Mercedes Sls, visits Sam at work and brings him twizlers. Sam is annoyed that Carly got a $200,000 car. Carly meets Sam's boss, Bruce Brazos, who checks her out and she compliments him on his "smashing head of hair". She also asks Sam to a party Gould is holding.

After Sam is attacked by Laserbeak at work, Sam takes Carly, Wheelie and Brains to NEST base to talk to the Autobots. Carly is unconvinced they are at NEST and tries to calm an annoyed Sam down and then the soldiers after they detect Wheelie and Brains. Carly and Sam are led into the base after the situation is defused by the arrival of Bumblebee. Charlotte Mearing is annoyed with Carly's presence on the base, but allows her to witness the revival of Sentinel Prime. When Mearing dismisses Sam's actions in the war, an annoyed Carly backs him up and convinces him to leave, saying that he'd done what he'd came to do.

When Carly comes home from work to prepare for the party, she is annoyed to find Sam working with Wheelie, Brains, Seymour Simmons and Dutch to figure out the Decepticons plot. She tries to convince Sam that the Autobots don't need him and to come with her to the party and is furious that he refuses. Ripping a leg off the bunny so Sam has his lucky rabbit's foot, Carly leaves.

After Sentinel betrays the Autobots and murders Ironhide, Sam comes to Gould's party to retrieve Carly and convinces her to come with him. As they leave, Gould reveals himself to be a Decepticon collaborator and the two rush to Carly's car to escape, but it reveals the car is actually Soundwave and holds Carly captive inside himself to force Sam to cooperate and find out the Autobots' plans.

Carly flies to Chicago with Gould and is taken to the building where the space bridge pillars are being set up. She is shocked to see Sentinel there, not aware of his betrayal. Gould explains the Decepticons plans to bring Cybetron to Earth and takes her back to his penthouse in Trump Tower. There, Carly watches through a telescope as Sentinel shows Megatron his place. Eventually, Sam shows up to rescue her, but is flung out a window by Laserbeak. Carly is devastated by his apparent death before relieved that he survives thanks to the Decepticon fighter piloted by Bumblebee. Carly quickly breaks free and enters the fighter's cockpit as it starts to crash and Sam fights Laserbeak. Sam and Bumblebee kill Laserbeak before the fighter crashes, but Carly is unharmed. Using a crashed UAV, Carly relays the Decepticons plans to NEST.

When Sam comes up with the plan to shoot down the Control Pillar with a rocket launcher, Carly accompanies Sam, Epps and his team to the building. She points out which pillar it is and is forced to hide as a Decepticon enters the building before forcing to jump out the windows to escape. Carly slides down the building uncontrollably, but falls through to another floor when the soldiers shoot out windows. When the Driller attacks the building, Carly nearly falls to her death again, but is caught by Sam, who lowers her to a nearby fire escape. Luckily, the group is saved by Optimus Prime who kills the Driller.

Upon reaching the street, the group is attacked by Starscream. Carly and Sam end up separated from the rest of the men and are forced on the run. Realizing that Starscream is after him alone, Sam hides Carly and battles Starsream single-handedly. Carly quickly alerts NEST when they arrive and they start to distract Starscream, allowing Sam to kill him.

After linking up with Epps again, Sam and Carly go to where Bumblebee and three other Autobots are captured — only to watch in horror as the Decepticons execute Que. As Bumblebee is next, Sam tries to help him while Carly tries to hold him back, which works when his second boom stick shorts out. Carly and Sam can only watch in helpless as their friend is nearly executed before a distraction by Wheelie and Brains. Carly watches as Bumblebee kills Soundwave.

Carly rides with Sam and Bumblebee to where the Autobots and humans are battling Sentinel and is forced to watch as Sam heads off to stop anyone from reactivating the Control Pillar. Spotting Megatron nearby and remembering his confrontation with Sentinel, Carly confronts him with the fact that he is no longer the Decepticon leader and will end up being nothing more than "Sentinel's bitch". Megatron gets enraged and wants to kill her, but realizing she's right, heads off to help Optimus.

After Optimus kills Sentinel and Megatron while Sam kills Gould and Bumblebee destroys the Control Pillar, deactivating the space bridge, Carly hooks up with Sam and they admit they love each other finally. Bumblebee, trying to help, drops a bunch of gaskets to use as rings trying to get Sam to propose to Carly, but Sam says that's taking it too fast and Carly says she loves Bumblebee.
