Suspecting that he was being "punk'd" in front of one of the university's deans, Professor Colan quite rightly drummed the rapscallion out of his class.

Several days later, after the Sun was nearly snuffed out by evil robots, the ever-magnanimous professor welcomed Sam Witwicky back (but not without some sarcasm). Revenge of the Fallen

Professor Colan’s involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," and "Revenge of the Fallen: The Junior Novel," and the comic mini-series "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation."
