This movie will reference a plot element from "Transformers Prime." Quintessa disguises herself as a human to know more about Earth, because the chaos-bringer, UNICRON, has been dormant in Earth's core for thousands of years. Megatron, still on the run, wants to restore Cybertron to its former glory so he can conquer it all over again, so Quintessa convinces him that awakening Unicron will restore Cybertron's core, when really Unicron will DESTROY Cybertron to pieces! Meanwhile, now that Bumblebee has his voice back, he gets assigned as Optimus Prime's second-in-command. After Prime hears about Unicron's eventual awakening, he will have to re-spark the core of Cybertron, AKA "PRIMUS." To do that, he has to look into the records of Alpha Trion, his mentor. He'll also need a bigger army, and to his convenience, the US government teams up with the Autobots again! Also, Cade Yeager reunites with his daughter, Tess, now that he's no longer a fugitive.
