Carly: Better Than The Witwicky Kid Since 1985

Carly was working a career fair in Philadelphia when the Decepticons targeted Sam Witwicky and his Autobot friend Bumblebee for harboring their escaped "pet", Brains. As the place became a battlefield, Carly quickly proved capable of defending herself. Seeing that Sam was about to be killed by Space Case, Carly used a weapon attached to one of the fallen Transformers around her to fend off the Decepticon. After saving his ass, they realized that they had met before, albeit under less deadly conditions.

Soon, the pair were saved from subsequent danger by the arrival of the rest of the Autobots. Rising Storm #3

These glasses? I'm just wearing them to look smart and stuff.

On the day President Obama awarded Sam Witwicky with a medal at the White House for saving the world twice, Sam met Carly Spencer. At that point, Carly worked at the 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 and Brains.

One day, Carly woke Sam up for his job interview and presented him with a stuffed toy—a "lucky bunny". Later, she was disgusted by Brains interrupting their making out, and left for work. After he went for job interviews, Sam visited Carly at her job and met Gould. He was surprised and slightly threatened by Gould's relationship with Carly. It didn't help that soon after, Carly visited Sam at work using a new Mercedes sports car gifted to her by Dylan. Carly encountered Sam's boss, Bruce Brazos, and complimented him on his "smashing head of hair".

After Sam was attacked by Laserbeak at work, Sam took Carly, Wheelie and Brains to the NEST base to talk to the Autobots. Carly was unconvinced that Sam had gotten the base's location correct and tried to calm him when they were stopped by soldiers, but the truth was revealed when Bumblebee emerged to help them. Charlotte Mearing was annoyed with Carly's presence on the base, but allowed her to witness the revival of Sentinel Prime. When Mearing dismissed Sam's actions in the war, an annoyed Carly backed him up and convinced him to leave, saying that he'd done what he'd came to do.

When Carly came home from work to prepare for Gould's party, she was annoyed to find Sam working with Wheelie, Brains, Seymour Simmons, and Dutch to figure out the Decepticons plot. Unable to convince Sam to leave the Autobots to it and come to the party, she became furious and ripped a leg off the lucky bunny before departing on her own.

While she was at the party, Sentinel betrayed the Autobots, resulting in Sam coming to Gould's house to make sure she was safe. Unfortunately, it turned out that Gould was a Decepticon sympathizer, and Carly's car was Soundwave. Soundwave held Carly hostage, forcing Sam to take on a Decepticon spy. Gould took her to Chicago with him and held her in his Trump Tower penthouse apartment, explaining the Decepticon plan to use humanity to rebuild Cybertron. Carly watched through a telescope as Sentinel showed Megatron his place. Sam and Bumblebee eventually showed up in a stolen Decepticon fighter and rescued her. After crashing the fighter, they rendezvoused with the other Autobots and Epps's team. Using a crashed UAV, Carly relayed the Decepticons plans to NEST.

When Sam came up with the plan to shoot down the Control Pillar with a rocket launcher, Carly accompanied Sam, Epps, and his team to the building to point out which Pillar they needed to destroy. They were forced to escape a Decepticon by sliding down the side of the building. When the Driller attacked the building, Carly again nearly fell to her death, but was caught by Sam and Hooch, who lowered her to a nearby fire escape. Upon reaching the street, the group was attacked by Starscream. Carly and Sam ended up separated from the rest of the team. Sam did his best to protect Carly from the Decepticon, and they were aided by the arrival of Lennox and his men.

"Hey, uh you got something right here, miss"

Sam and Carly went with Bumblebee, but got separated from the Autobot, who was then captured. Carly had to restrain Sam from futilely going to the aid of the captured Autobots, but, fortunately, a distraction helped the Autobots overcome their captors anyway. The two humans rode with Bumblebee to the main battle with Sentinel, where Carly spotted Megatron sitting near a building, and goaded him into going to fight Sentinel. In the aftermath of the battle, Carly and Sam reunited on a bridge, and Carly was amused by Bumblebee's attempts to provide them with rings. Dark of the Moon
