After becoming rich by selling his book, former Sector Seven agent Seymour Simmons, now a busy man, hired Dutch, a hacker and a former agent (of some sort), as his personal assistant.

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-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's surface, taken by the Soviets, which showed the Decepticon activity around the Ark.

Simmons, Dutch, Sam, and Bumblebee rushed to the NEST base, to warn the Autobots that Sentinel Prime was the target for the Decepticons. They spotted Sentinel on the highway — only to meet the Dreads. Dutch and Simmons were both injured during the running highway battle.

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. Dark of the Moon

Notes

• Dutch and his fake girlfriend's name, "India", are a reference to Dutch India.

• For a 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.") Of course he could just be a former member of the German BND, but where would be the fun in that? For what it's worth, Simmons describes him as an "Ex-NSA Cybersleuth" in the comic adaptation
