"Sam, there's a party at my place tonight. Come join us."
"Uh, not this time. I still have to work."
"Bro, what's been up with you lately? You seem to be in a tight spot financially."
"Because I'm a college student now, I have to pay for my own tuition. Unlike your wealthy family, my parents didn't save an education fund for me."
Finding an excuse to decline his classmate's invitation, the male protagonist, Sam, played by Keisley Evans, quickly left the campus and darted into Bumblebee.
In the driver's seat, the female protagonist, Mikaela, played by Gadot, was sitting there.
"You're ten minutes late today," Mikaela said playfully.
"No, to be precise, it's ten minutes and thirty-four seconds," the car said in a magnetic, mechanical voice.
"I got tied up by that idiot roommate of mine. I could only say I needed to work to earn money."
"That's a good reason. We are indeed working, but it's for the Autobots and the government. Let's go save the world, move out!"
Bumblebee roared instantly, speeding away with the two of them. Once they left the city, it began to super accelerate.
Soon, they arrived at the Autobots' secret base, hidden within a mountain.
Unlike human architecture, the style here leaned more towards Cybertronian sci-fi, created by the team using real sets and special effects.
The Autobots who appeared in the first movie, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet, and Ironhide, all showed up.
New characters also appeared: Skids, Mudflap, Sideswipe, and the female Autobots Arcee and Elita One.
The first ten minutes had already clearly explained the general background.
More than a year had passed since the last battle in the casino city. Due to the damage to the AllSpark, the Autobots were temporarily unable to leave Earth.
Coupled with the scattered Decepticons, although Megatron had been defeated, the threat still existed, and these guys would occasionally cause trouble.
Thus, the Autobots and the government decided to cooperate. The Autobots would help humans carry out missions, and humans would provide the Autobots with the things needed to repair the AllSpark.
During this time, Optimus Prime had also been recruiting Autobots exiled in the universe, and several new subordinates joined during this period.
Sam and Mikaela, as trusted individuals, were allowed to enter and exit the Autobots' base and would assist in some missions. They were both growing.
Captain William was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel for his outstanding performance in the casino city battle and formed a unit specifically responsible for joint operations with the Autobots.
"Wow! Dad, it's a female Autobot!" a little girl in the cinema exclaimed, staring intently at Arcee.
"Her name is Arcee, baby. She's beautiful, isn't she?"
"Yes, she is. She's pink and looks like a giant Barbie doll."
"Hehe. She's a Barbie doll that can fight."
"Buy one for me, Dad."
"You can buy one, but Helen, if you buy Arcee, you can't buy Barbie, okay?"
"Then add an Elita One. I don't want Arcee to be lonely."
"Deal, baby."
The father and daughter instantly reached an agreement. The old father thought to himself, 'Anyway, if I buy it, I can play with it at home. I can't play with Barbie dolls, so which one is more valuable is clear at a glance.'
As for why a grown man would play with a female Transformer?
Mind your own business!
I think Arcee is beautiful, much prettier than the fat neighbor next door.
On the big screen, Ironhide reported that Jazz had not returned, and he was a bit worried.
At this moment, Colonel William also sent a message that the unit they sent to cooperate with Jazz had also lost contact.
So, both parties went to the mission site together, but only found traces of battle in the vicinity; the people were nowhere to be found.
"I scanned traces of Decepticon weapons," Ratchet said.
"Who was it?" William asked anxiously.
"Cannot specify individuals. I need more effective information."
"So, Jazz is very likely...?" Sam and Mikaela looked worried.
Optimus Prime carefully looked at a scorched area: "We cannot draw a conclusion yet. At least from the traces on the scene, the intensity of the battle was not very high."
"Jazz is an experienced warrior; he wouldn't die so easily."
"Optimus Prime, we need to mobilize all resources and search for the Decepticons' whereabouts with all our might," Arcee suggested.
Optimus Prime looked at William: "Lieutenant Colonel, we hope to mobilize the satellite system. With Cybertronian technology, we have the best chance of finding the Decepticons quickly."
"Leave it to me. I will apply to the Department of Defense."
The scene shifted to the Decepticon base, where the honorable Decepticon Starscream was delivering a passionate speech.
Since Megatron was eliminated, Starscream, the Decepticon second-in-command, was overjoyed.
We traveled far and wide to Earth to save you, but you were weak and died, so don't blame me for taking over.
However, although he considered himself the new leader of the Decepticons, the other Decepticons did not recognize him.
Soundwave, with a group of subordinates, went his own way, determined to revive Megatron.
"I know you are not convinced by my leadership, but soon I will show you who the true leader of the Decepticons is."
"What do you want to do, Starscream?"
Starscream's voice became cold and despicable: "I will lead you to annihilate the Autobots! What Megatron couldn't do, I can do!"
"With you? You don't even know where they're hiding."
"That was then. Now I know. I have found their location. We just need to catch them by surprise, and we can definitely defeat the Autobots."
Looking at the confident Starscream, Soundwave was skeptical: "Starscream, how did you find them?"
"You don't need to worry about that. I have my ways. Now the opportunity is right in front of us. As long as we eliminate the Autobots, we can reclaim the AllSpark and then occupy Earth."
Subsequently, a group of Decepticons, led by Starscream, launched a surprise attack on the Autobots' base.
However, because the Autobots had temporarily shared technology with humans, using the eyes of global satellites, they turned the tables and caught the Decepticons in a trap.
Even Sam and Mikaela joined the battlefield, piloting the mech suits specially built for them by the Autobots.
Half an hour into the movie, an adrenaline-pumping melee unfolded.
The tricked Decepticons fled in a panic, and several of their subordinates were instantly destroyed.
On their escape route, Soundwave and Knock Out encountered an ambush by a mysterious force.
Although both were severely wounded, they still had an advantage against humans.
Just as they were about to break through the encirclement, Black Widow descended from the sky and captured Knock Out.
Soundwave could only continue to flee, not even daring to return to his base.
After taking Knock Out, this mysterious force also revealed its true colors.
Their leader, Leland Bishop, was a former high-ranking government official who became obsessed with studying transformers after the casino city battle.
He then formed a secret cooperation agreement with Black Widow, a former Decepticon member who had arrived on Earth.
Black Widow would help him capture Autobots and Decepticons for research, and he would help Black Widow obtain the AllSpark.
As a former high-ranking government official, with the help of an insider, Leland's planning of all this was simply too easy.
First, he captured Jazz, and now he used the conflict between the two major factions to capture Knock Out. Everything was proceeding according to his plan.
"I told you I would help you catch a Decepticon."
"Very good, but next you'll also need to help me deconstruct Cybertronian technology and create new transformers."
"No problem, but don't forget your promise."
Leland glanced at Black Widow expressionlessly: "Don't worry, I've known what to do all along!"
If Sam and Mikaela and the Autobots supported each other, Leland and Black Widow were purely harboring ulterior motives and using each other.
Folding her spider legs, Black Widow said coldly: "Compared to us, you are nothing but a Decepticon in human skin!"
