History[]
Dylan Gould owns a multi-international car company known as Hotchkiss Gould Investments which Carly works for. Dylan reveals he works for the Decepticons when he tells Sam and Carly "My father always said when the war isn't yours, always join the winning side". When Sam and Carly begin to run from him he asks his maid if his revelation was too forward.
Dylan forces Sam into wearing a Decepticon watch that will try to obtain any Autobot secrets or tactics. When Sam tells Dylan that the Autobots have no plans of retaliation, Dylan then tells him he knew this was going to happen and orders Starscream to shoot down the ship carrying the Autobots. Dylan tried to keep Carly captive as his future wife.
Though the Autobots' shuttle was destroyed, it is later revealed that they were never on the shuttle to begin with. Having faked their demise, Optimus Prime and his compatriots enter Decepticon-occupied Chicago to put a stop to Megatron and Sentinel Prime's scheme to generate a space bridge that will bring Cybertron into Earth's orbit. Sam and the Autobots rescue Carly and they destroy Dylan's penthouse. Laserbeak, Dylan's bodyguard, failed to kill Sam while Carly escaped from Dylan's henchman. Bumblebee killed all of Dylan's human bodyguards while Dylan quickly notified Megatron about the entire situation and the Decepticon warships went looking for the Autobots.

At the request of Sentinel Prime, Dylan attempts to restart the Control Pillar, only to have a confrontation with a perusing Sam. Dylan thinks that Sam wasn't going to kill him and taunted him, but Dylan is eventually killed when Sam hits him in the head with a metal rebar with a cement block attached to it causing him to fall back into the Control Pillar electrocuting him to death.
