Fiction[]
Dark of the Moon film[]
Before the Autobots separated from the human during the Battle of Chicago, Que gave some boom-sticks along with grapple gloves to the human for use in battle against the Decepticons. Sam Witwicky took two for use.
After getting separated from Robert Epps and his team, Sam Witwicky and Carly Brooks-Spencer came under attack by Starscream. Sam foght Starscream, shooting him in the right optic with his grapple glove, half-blinding him and resulting in Starscream thrashing around and ultimately flinging Sam through a window. When NEST attacks Starscream, it gave Sam time to grab one of his boom-sticks and arm it. Sam then jumped on Starscream's head and stabbed the boom-stick into his left optic, rendering him totally blind. As Starscream desperatly tried to get rid of the grappling hook and the boom-stick, Lieutenant Colonel William Lennox worked to cut Sam free so he wouldn't be killed when the boom-stick went off. Lennox succeeded in cutting Sam free and as Bumblebee caught the two, the boom-stick exploded and blew off Starscream's head, killing him.
Later, Sam tries to use his second boomstick to attack Soundwave and stop him from killing Bumblebee, but the boom-stick shorted out and Sam is unable to use it. Dark of the Moon
