>>94566347What I know is that Transformers: The Last Knight launched the so-called "Unicron trilogy", which will be the focus of the next two movies. Mark Wahlberg was supposed to headline them, but he decided not to return, so a new lead human character has been created to carry the franchise. His name (so far) is Jake Barnes, and he's the character Zac Effron is in talks for. He's a police mechanic who stumbles upon the new lead female, Samantha Cooper, a scientist who finds out that Quintessa is manipulating the world's governments into rebuilding an ancient Cybertronian weapon to destroy Unicron, who is awakening and causing natural disasters all over the globe, wiping out the human race. They're chased by cyber-enhanced brainwashed soldiers and rescued by a secret network of Autobot spies led by Bumblebee, who are undercover on Earth while Optimus and the others have been exiled to Cybertron by the United Nations. A race against time ensues to secure the final component of the weapon which is hidden somewhere on Earth before Quintessa's forces, Unicron's minions, and Megatron and the Decepticons trying to harness its power for themselves.
Then in TF7 Unicron finally awakens, raises an army of dead Transformers and launches his plan to destroy all life in the universe, organic and mechanical. Autobots, Decepticons and humans must team up to defeat him once and for all.
You'll see a bunch of old and new 'Bots and 'Cons. I've hear such names as Cliffjumper, Blur, Springer, Thundercracker, Skywarp, Inferno, Blitzkrieg, Massacre, Warpath, and more. Since they play fast and loose with canon you can't actually know who most of them are an which side they're supposed to be on.
They're also bringing back Sideswipe.
