>The movie opens with a brutal medieval battle between some hordes (wearing armor that looks suspiciously Decepticonny) and the forces of, yes, King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table. Arthur's forces are in trouble, vastly outnumbered, but Arthur remains confident that Merlin will deliver the weapon they need to see victory...>Among the Knights is the rarely-included-in-fiction Sir Morien. Nice.>Merlin is... not particularly trusted by the knights. 'Cuz he's... let the record show that the witness made the "drinky drinky" motion. But he does have access to incredible power in the form of Cybertronians, in particular a massive, three-headed Cybertronian dragon. Yeah, Arthur's forces win with this little bit of help.>Following the events of Age of Extinction, all Cybertronians are persona non grata on Earth, to the point where humans have developed a new special task force to hunt them down. Which would be easier if more Cybertronians weren't arriving constantly, getting into scraps in major population centers. They're looking for something...>Chicago is mainly a giant abandoned robot graveyard, with a few scraggling survivors hiding from mechanized patrol drones. We've seen a goodly chunk of the beginning of this sequence in released footage, with Canopy being both home and friend to orphan Izabela. It doesn't end well for poor Canopy. This is also where Cade and Bumblebee come in, having been alerted to the break-in by a group of troublemaking kids...>Cade is working out of the abandoned city, repairing Cybertronians and keeping them hidden... yes, even the Dinobots. Grimlock, Slug, and "mini-Dinobots" were seen, and it's a safe bet Scorn will be around given the toy (we didn't see him in the footage). Bee and Crosshairs are still with him, and Crosshairs is still being a bit of a jerk about everything...
