Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)

Sixty-five million years ago, an alien race known as the “Creators” used devices called Seeds to cover Earth with an alloy that will one day be called “Transformium”, wiping out the dinosaurs in the process. In the present day, geologist Darcy Tirrel excavates the Transformium for K.S.I. Industries, who use it to build Transformers drones. Five years after the Invasion of Chicago, the people have started to view the Transformers as public enemies of the state. Though the public believes that the Autobots were granted sanctuary, they are in fact hunted down by a rogue CIA black ops division, Cemetery Wind, led by opportunistic, corrupt intelligence operative Harold Attinger, who believes that all Transformers should be exterminated regardless of their faction. They are aided by Lockdown, a Cybertronian bounty hunter working for the Creators, promising to give Attinger a Seed if his division manages to capture Optimus Prime. Lockdown locates and kills Ratchet when he refuses to give up the whereabouts of Optimus Prime.

Optimus, badly damaged in Mexico City, hides in Texas and is discovered by Cade Yeager, a financially struggling inventor. While his teenage daughter Tessa and business partner Lucas Flannery encourage him to turn Optimus over to the authorities, Cade instead fixes Optimus. Still skeptical of Optimus, Lucas alerts the authorities, and James Savoy, Attinger’s field commanding operative, attacks the Yeager farm, but Optimus, and Tessa’s secret boyfriend, Irish rally car driver Shane Dyson, rescues the family. During the pursuit, Lucas is killed by one of Lockdown’s grenades. Optimus summons the surviving Autobots – Bumblebee, Hound, Drift, and Crosshairs. Using a stolen CIA drone, Cade discovers K.S.I.’s involvement with Cemetery Wind and the attacks on the Autobots.
