<br />
After becoming rich by selling his book, former Sector Seven agent Seymour Simmons, now a busy man, hired Dutch, a former [[National Security Agency]] "cybersleuth", as his personal assistant.<br />
<br />
[[Sam Witwicky|Sam]], trying to solve the mystery left to him by [[Jerry Wang]], called Simmons for help. Along with Simmons, Dutch went to Sam's home to investigate (on a computer-slash-[[Brains|Transformer]]) the papers Wang gave Sam. They traced two astronauts who had defected from the [[Soviet Union]], and went to the bar they were known to frequent. The conversation went poorly, and the Russians began pointing guns at Sam, Simmons, and Dutch. Exhibiting surprising martial arts skills, he snatched away two guns and turned the tide before he "cracked". After the quarrel, the Russian astronauts showed them photos of the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]'s surface, taken by the Soviets, which showed the Decepticon activity around the ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]''.<br />
<br />
Simmons, Dutch, Sam, and Bumblebee rushed to the NEST base to warn the Autobots that [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] was the target for the Decepticons. They spotted Sentinel on the highway, only to meet the [[Dread (DOTM)|Dreads]]. Dutch and Simmons were both injured during the running highway battle.<br />
<br />
Later, after the NEST soldiers and Sam infiltrated [[Chicago]], Simmons and Dutch supported them via communicator, playing a small but vital role in the Autobot/NEST victory. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}<br />

==Notes==<br />
* Dutch and his fake girlfriend's name, "India", are a reference to [[Wikipedia:Dutch India|Dutch India]].<br />
* For a supporting/minor human character in a ''Transformers'' movie, Dutch sure seems to have a complicated history lurking back there someplace. (One reviewer summed him up as a "gay ex-Nazi manservant in a weird suit".)<ref>[http://io9.com/5816669/transformers-3-is-a-movie-about-how-wrong-you-were-to-hate-transformers-2 io9 ''Transformers'' Review]</ref><br />
* As [[Wikipedia:Pennsylvania Dutch|frequently]] happens, Dutch's nickname indicates a confusion between the adjectives Dutch and ''Deutsch'', since his accent is German, not Dutch.<br />
<br />
===Foreign names===<br />
*''Japanese:'' '''Dutch''' (ダッチ ''Datchi'')<br />
