Transformers 5: Five Faces of Darkness

Transformers 5: Five Faces of Darkness is a 2018 science fiction action film (fanfiction) based on Hasbro's Transformers toyline, serving as the fifth installment in the Transformers live-action film series and a sequel to 2014's Transformers : Age of Extinction. It is a loose adaptation of the "Five Faces of Darkness" story arc from the third season of 1984's The Transformers cartoon. The film follows Optimus Prime on a galactic voyage to find the truth about the creation of the Transformers race as the Autobots on Earth battle a new legion of Decepticons. 
== Plot ==
Somewhere in the galaxy, a fleet of corkscrew-shaped spaceships, with their controls being operated by tentacled appendages, ominously approach the thriving mechanical world of Lithone, a planet colonized by Cybertronians eons ago. The Lithones watch on in horror as the ships descend on their planet and employ tractor beams to raze entire cities. The planet is ransacked by the alien invaders and the Lithone civilization is decimated with Seeds which are detonated in cities across the planet, turning the once prosperous world of Lithone into an apocalyptic hellscape. The surviving Lithones are enslaved aboard the invading spaceships which drain the planet Lithone of its resources.
In the aftermath of the battle in Hong Kong, Optimus Prime leaves Earth with the Seed, tasking the Autobots to defend humanity as he ventures into deep space and sends a message to his creators declaring that they should leave planet Earth alone because he is coming for them. Optimus visits the wreckage of the crashed Ark on the Moon, salvaging any remaining energon from the vault and charting a course to his destroyed homeworld Cybertron by bringing the dormant ship's computers online. He then goes to the abandoned warship, the Nemesis, on one of Saturn's moons where he disposes of the Seed and brings the ship online, feeding its navigation systems the coordinates of Cybertron and two of its colony planets. The vessel powers up and leaves the Solar System. Optimus Prime's first stop is the Cybertronian colony planet Gorlam where he reunites with a contingent of Autobots tasked by him to watch over the Gorlamites. Ultra Magnus, commander of the Autobot team on Gorlam, conveys to Optimus that they have been successful in safeguarding Gorlam from Decepticons so far. After bringing Magnus up to speed on the events that have transpired on Earth, Optimus reassigns him and a few of his trusted soldiers to go to Earth aboard their spaceship, the Iron Will, for providing reinforcements to the Autobot crew stationed there. Following his excursion to Gorlam, Optimus Prime enters a stasis pod as he re-embarks on the long interstellar journey home. 
Five years after Optimus Prime's departure from Earth in the wake of the Hong Kong uprising, the Autobots are granted asylum in the United States with the President being repentant for the crimes of Cemetery Wind. NEST is refounded as the Earth Defense Command (EDC) which is entrusted with the schematics of the transformium technology developed by Joshua Joyce of KSI. Cybertronian technology is reverse engineered to build space stations and planetary lasers in anticipation of mounting global defense systems against future alien invasions. The team of remaining Autobots on Earth (Bumblebee, Crosshairs, Dino, Drift, Hound, Roadbuster, Topspin), now led by Bumblebee, are also hunting down their nemesis Galvatron who has disappeared following the battle in Hong Kong. The Autobots with help from the EDC and Joyce have also built a fortress known as Autobot City in Monument Valley (where they had rendezvoused with Optimus Prime when he had returned alive after being missing in action) which serves as their base of operations. Joyce helps the Autobots' human ally Cade Yeager to rebuild his home and fund his daughter's college education. Cade elects to remain in Autobot City desiring to study Cybertronian technology and apply it to his inventions. Meanwhile Galvatron, who departed for parts unknown after his plan to detonate the Seed in Hong Kong failed, summons the few surviving Decepticons hiding on Earth (like Barricade and some protoform troops who survived the battle in Chicago) and has the crashed shuttle in Wulong Valley repaired for flight. They park the shuttle over Lockdown's Knight Ship left hovering above Hong Kong. Aboard the Knight Ship, Galvatron receives a mysterious transmission whereupon he commandeers the vessel to set a course for Cybertron. 
En route to Cybertron, Optimus Prime awakes from stasis after an ion storm and stops to refuel on the Cybertronian colony of Paradron only to find a Cybertronian civilization razed to the ground and the planet ransacked. With the Nemesis crash-landing on the desolate world after being shot down, Optimus is attacked by monstrous drones of Allicons and Lightpoles but fends them off with assistance from an underground resistance movement of battle-damaged Autobots led by Sandstorm. The Autobot resistance fighters explain that their planet was conquered and its energon harvested by five faced devils who descended from the heavens. The Autobot squad led by Sandstorm along with Optimus Prime takes the fight to the invaders in the Citadel of the planet's ravaged capital city and battle the Overcharges, an army of drones that have overrun the planet at the behest of their masters. They detonate a large part of the Citadel to destroy the Overcharges and force them to flee Paradron. However, Optimus collapses due to exhaustion, entering stasis lock as he has run out of energon. Suddenly a team of mercenaries arrive and indiscriminately gun down the Paradronians before retrieving a comatose Optimus Prime from the debris. The Mercenaries depart with Optimus Prime's body before ordering the Overcharges to carry out an orbital bombardment of Paradron. The once thriving world of Paradron erupts in flames. When Optimus Prime awakes after the battle on Paradron, he finds himself in shackles aboard the Mercenaries' ship, the Fortune, which is approaching Cybertron. The leader of the Mercenaries, Doubledealer, explains that he was contacted by their enigmatic benefactor for his services to bring Optimus Prime back to Cybertron following Lockdown's death on Earth. Optimus, revived from his stasis lock by exposure to Cybertron's atmosphere, sees the destroyed state of Cybertron, with cities having fallen and continents breaking apart, and the planet's surface covered with strange vine-like structures. The shackled Optimus is escorted by Doubledealer to a large chamber in Iacon City. There Optimus Prime comes face to face with a gargantuan tentacled five-faced techno-organic creature towering over him, a Quintesson Judge who proclaims itself to be a member of the alien race that created the Transformers on Cybertron. Optimus previously believed that the Quintessons were but a myth but now he is face to face with one of them. The Quintesson, proclaiming itself as Deeseus, informs Optimus Prime that they stand in the chamber that leads to the supercomputer Vector Sigma which imparted personalities to the Transformers race after they were given life by the AllSpark. Optimus Prime demands to know why the Quintessons put a price on his head and endangered his friends and planet Earth. The godlike Deeseus sneers coldly and tells Optimus that they are not done with Earth yet before denouncing Optimus Prime guilty of starting the Great War and destroying Cybertron which the Quintessons are rebuilding. Deeseus also reveals that the Quintessons have enslaved several worlds to harvest their resources to reconstruct the damaged Cybertron. Optimus Prime declares that he is slave to no one, not even his alleged creators. Simply out of amusement, Deeseus frees Optimus temporarily to face his demonic minion Infernocus in gladiatorial combat. When Deeseus delays Doubledealer's payment due to his five faces being yet to reach a consensus, the Mercenaries turn on him, allowing Optimus Prime to escape after he slays Infernocus.
In Deeseus's chambers underneath Cybertronian cities, Optimus Prime finds slaves from various alien planets (including Cybertronian colonies like Paradron, Junkion, Aquatron, Velocitron, Gorlam, Lithone and Eukaris) working to rebuild Cybertron in grim conditions and liberates them after vanquishing the cruel Overcharges watching over them. Deeseus deploys more Overcharges to punish the rebels but they are able to fight back his henchmen. Kranix of Lithone recounts to Optimus how the devious Quintessons travel from planet to planet, ravaging entire worlds and harvesting all their resources before moving on to other worlds, the Quintessons' objective being to rebuild Cybertron as a cosmic dreadnought. Optimus Prime recites his motto of freedom being the right of all sentient beings and, after learning that Gorlam has also been ravaged, decides to end the Quintessons' reign of terror by attacking the planet of New Quintessa, which, according to Kranix, serves as their base of operations. The Mercenaries arrive on the scene and propose an alliance with the rebels in order to have their revenge against Deeseus. The rebels make a plan to steal a Quintesson shuttle to travel to New Quintessa. When a Prosecutor drone deployed by Deeseus attacks, the Mercenaries help the rebels in taking down the Prosecutor which crashes into the Quintesson command centre, knocking out Deeseus, and allowing the rebels to steal a Quintesson cruiser to depart Cybertron.
Aboard the cruiser (accompanied by the Mercenaries' ship, the Fortune), Kranix sets course for New Quintessa. Still reeling from the revelation that the evil Quintessons are possibly the creators of the Cybertronian race, Optimus Prime accesses the Matrix of Leadership (which replaced the Cube as the physical form of the AllSpark after its destruction on Earth) to learn more about the history of his race. Within the Matrix, he consults members of the ancient Dynasty of Primes, seeking their guidance. The Primes briefly recount the legends of the divine entities Primus and Unicron, how the original Thirteen Primes were trans-dimensional beings forged by the God of Light, Primus, to explore space and battle Unicron, the Chaos-Bringer. Unicron was defeated by the Primes, cast out and trapped in a mechanical planetoid by Primus. After the battle with Unicron, the Quintessons were created by one of the original Primes, Quintus Prime, to serve as her subjects out of her desire for creating a thriving civilization for their race on Cybertron, the planet mode of Primus. Initially the Quintessons were subservient to Quintus Prime who slowly gave in to her obsession with creating life. Believing that sometimes one must first destroy in order to create, Quintus gave her creations free rein to invent the Seeds away from the prying eyes of her fellow Primes and then employ unscrupulous means to harvest metals required to build the bodies of new generations of Transformers. Quintus in her single-minded quest for creation was not completely honest with the other Primes and did not wish for them to unravel her web of lies and deception, so in secret she forged her staff of creation and her twelve knights as contingencies against her fellow Primes. The AllSpark was created by Quintus with her life-force combined with a part of Primus's essence, with the AllSpark being used to give life to a race of machines, the Transformers, that would populate Cybertron in time. However, in the background, the Quintessons cyberformed populated worlds to gather raw materials for creating the bodies of the Transformers and achieved a degree of sentience which Quintus did not foresee, before launching an invasion of Cybertron. The Primes were able to defeat the Quintessons from subjugating Cybertron but in the wake of the invasion, Quintus retaliated by committing genocide against the Quintesson race on their homeworld of Quintessa, deeming them as her failed experiments. This led to the twelve Knights of Cybertron betraying Quintus and stealing her staff of power. The other Primes found out that Quintus had been keeping them in the dark about her machinations, which ultimately led to the Quintesson invasion, and hence banished her from Cybertron for her deception. The AllSpark was retrieved by the Primes and the Knights to sustain the planet of Cybertron and its inhabitants with the production of Energon. Later the Primes discovered that the power of the AllSpark, though vast, was finite but could be recharged with the power of stars, so the Star Harvesters were built. The AllSpark generated the Matrix of Leadership as a key for the Star Harvesters. Seven Primes decided on the use of the Star Harvester, with five Primes remaining behind to defend Cybertron and raise the descendants of the Dynasty of Primes, including Optimus Prime and his mentor Sentinel Prime. However, the banishment of Quintus had created a rift amongst the Dynasty of Primes which would have long term ramifications. Eventually the seven Primes in charge of the Star Harvester came to a planet called Earth where they were betrayed and slain by one of their own, Megatronus Prime, also known as the Fallen (who believed that the Dynasty's compassion would doom the Cybertronians to an inevitable extinction because the Dynasty wished to spare stars which had inhabited worlds). Ultimately Prima, the direct ancestor of Optimus Prime, defeated the Fallen, bringing an end to the War of the Primes, before sacrificing himself to hide the Star Harvester and the Matrix of Leadership in a tomb made of his brothers' bodies. Following the loss of the Star Harvester, the Knights of Cybertron and five remaining Primes used the AllSpark and Quintus's Staff of Creation to create the Omega Keys as vessels for Primus's life-force. The Omega Keys when combined formed the Omega Lock, a conduit to the Allspark itself to restore Cybertron in case the AllSpark was depleted of its power. For a time, peace reigned on Cybertron during the time when Optimus Prime and his brother-in-arms Megatron were in power. But the peace would not last, as the Fallen's sarcophagus would corrupt Megatron into joining the dark side and waging war against his former friend turned foe Optimus. Thus the Autobots led by Optimus Prime and the Decepticons led by Megatron came to wage war for the AllSpark, a war which still rages on today. The Primes speak of planet Earth being the subject of an ancient prophecy in the Covenant of Primus which talks of a small but significant blue world which will serve as the staging grounds for the next chapter of Cybertronian history. The Primes also foresee a great evil coming, showing Optimus Prime visions of a dark future in which the universe is doomed due to the awakening of an ancient evil from Cybertron's distant past. Optimus Prime wakes from a trance following these cryptic warnings of an apocalyptic future as foretold by the Primes within the Matrix of Leadership.
Optimus leads a brigade to storm New Quintessa, trample the Quintesson tyrants and free the imprisoned slaves from other worlds, determined to purge the universe of Quintesson tyranny. The rebels are attacked by the savage Sharkticons commanded by Quintesson Judges. Optimus discovers a hologram of Earth in the Pit of Judgement, and horrifyingly realizes that the Quintessons plan to invade Earth next. Unwilling to put Earth in jeopardy and feeling guilty for the fall of Gorlam, Optimus declares war on the Quintessons and fights off hordes of Sharkticons. The rebels and Mercenaries fight their way through swarms of Overcharges, Allicons and Sharkticons, attempting to liberate all enslaved aliens and recruit them in the war against the Quintessons. Despite putting up a good fight in the Sharkticon pit, the rebellion is ultimately crushed when the Quintesson Scientist Inquirata unleashes the weapon known as the Dweller, a Trans-Organic energy vampire which drains the lives from many rebels. Many of the rebels like Kranix are executed by feeding them to the Sharkticons and the Fortune is blown up (killing all the Mercenaries inside) while Optimus is captured and put on trial. The five-faced Quintesson Judge Deeseus deems Optimus Prime a failure as an Autobot leader who doomed Cybertron through his rash actions. The shackled Optimus counters that he never meant to destroy Cybertron. Deeseus orders Optimus to be silent as he takes him to meet his maker, who is shown to be a floating, ghostly figure with metallic tentacled appendages. She calls herself Quintessa. Optimus recognizes her as Quintus Prime but she dismisses the name, saying that Quintus Prime is dead and that she forged a new alias for herself, renaming herself after the original homeworld of the Quintessons. Quintessa steals the Matrix of Leadership from him and she then proceeds to inflict excruciating torture on Optimus Prime till he reaches his breaking point. Quintessa reveals that she was in exile for eons but was forced to return to Cybertron because of the damage the planet suffered due to the war between the Autobots and Decepticons, specifically the space bridge incident which caused a major part of Cybertron to collapse in on itself. Quintessa accuses Optimus of condemning the Cybertronian race to a slow extinction by dooming Cybertron, which was once the crown jewel of the galaxy. Optimus replies that Megatron started the war, causing Quintessa to slap Optimus across the face, inflicting a red mark across his face. Quintessa tells Optimus that she created him and that he is hers to command. Quintessa admonishes Optimus for protecting humanity instead of restoring Cybertron, reminding him how humanity itself betrayed the Autobots and hunted them down. Grief stricken over his failures, the losses of his friends and worn down by eons of war against tyrants like Megatron, the Fallen and even his former mentor turned enemy Sentinel Prime, Optimus Prime becomes susceptible to Quintesson mind control, seeking redemption for his perceived failure to save Cybertron and the Transformers race. Quintessa seemingly comforts Optimus as his eyes turn purple, telling him there is a way to fix things as she repairs his battle damaged body. Now brainwashed by Quintessa, Optimus becomes the evil Nemesis Prime.
Back on Earth, EDC agent Jack Fowler visits Autobot City to consult Cade and the Autobots about recent Decepticon sightings. Fowler reveals that one of the EDC's drones got a visual footage of Megatron (the Decepticon leader who was thought to have vanished after the battle in Hong Kong where he briefly possessed the KSI drone known as Galvatron), indicating that the Decepticons are back on Earth after a hiatus of five years. Fowler asks for Cade's cooperation with the autonomous agency Unit:E (E denotes 'Extraterrestrial') so that they can understand what the Decepticons are up to. Cade is hesitant to work with the government again (due to being hunted down by the rogue CIA division Cemetery Wind five years prior) so he turns Fowler down, but assures that the Autobots will look into the matter. Later that night, Autobot City comes under siege by Decepticons. The Autobots occupy their battle stations and, with assistance from Cade, combat a Decepticon armada consisting of Dirge, Ramjet, Blitzwing, Lugnut, Soundblaster, Barricade, Flatline, Dreadbot, Transit, Slugslinger and Triggerhappy. As the Autobots are getting overwhelmed, new Autobots Prowl, Trailbreaker, Cliffjumper, Mirage and Sunstreaker arrive to the defense of Autobot City. Cade also calls Fowler to send in the cavalry. The day is saved thanks to the new Autobot arrivals and backup from the EDC in form of Sentinel drones manufactured by KSI. Unfortunately the Autobots Dino, Roadbuster and Topspin die in the battle, their deaths being mourned by Cade and the rest of the Autobots. 
In the aftermath of the devastating attack on Autobot City, Fowler arrives to talk to Cade regarding his earlier proposal. During their conversation, the five new Autobots reveal that they were sent to Earth to scout it as per orders from their leader Ultra Magnus which they have bene doing for the last two years. When Fowler presses them to disclose the real reason for their arrival to Earth, Prowl reveals that they are actually looking for the legendary technology known as an Omega Lock which they believe is somewhere on Earth after decoding entries from the Iacon Hall of Records. In order to assure Cade and his Autobot allies that they can trust him, Fowler unveils a cryptic Autobot insignia with two swords engraved on his arm, leaving the Autobots mystified, and details his past as an Army Ranger. The EDC agent promises to provide them the answers they seek if they come with him.  The Autobots and Cade, leaving the devastated Autobot City behind, are escorted by Fowler to a Unit:E hangar in Oregon. Inside the hangar they enter an underground base housing fighter jets, transport planes and helicopters. Fowler reveals that he is a member of the Custodians, a secret society dedicated to safeguarding the relics of the Primes entrusted to humanity by the Knights of Cybertron, and that he may know where to start looking for the four Omega Keys that will lead the way to the Omega Lock buried somewhere on Earth. Prowl explains that the Omega Lock is a legendary device with the power to terraform worlds, which makes it capable of causing a mass extinction event if deployed on Earth. Fowler suspects that the Decepticons may be looking for the Omega Keys based on surveillance by EDC drones that have been monitoring Decepticon activity across the globe. Having grasped the gravity of the situation, Fowler insists that Cade accompany him to the England. The Autobots Drift, Prowl, Cliffjumper and Bumblebee join Cade and Fowler on their flight to England while the rest of the Autobots remain behind to defend the base. 
On the Moon, the Decepticons regroup aboard the Knight Ship under their resurrected leader Megatron, who has abandoned his Galvatron identity and assembled (through means yet unknown) a new armada consisting of Cyclonus, Scourge, Berserker, Barricade, Lugnut, Soundblaster, Dirge, Ramjet, Shockblast, Blitzwing, Flatline, Transit, Shatter, Dropkick, Dreadbot, Slugslinger, Triggerhappy, the Stunticons and the Combaticons. Megatron tells his Decepticons that before his death, his master The Fallen had told him many secrets about the Earth and that they must begin searching. Shockblast notifies Megatron that Project: Predacon is going as planned, prompting a sinister laugh from Megatron who declares that the Autobots will meet their match soon. 
Cade and Fowler arrive in Castle Burton in England where they are greeted by eccentric Transformers historian Sir Edmund Burton, who inducts Cade into the ranks of the Custodians and promises to answer why the Cybertonian relics are present on Earth. Inside the castle, Cade is introduced to Burton's sociopathic robot butler Cogman who is seen serving tea to Cade, Burton, Fowler as well as the Custodian Viviane Wembley, who is a professor at Oxford. Cade meets Viviane and initially the two do not get along well. After showing his guests around his estate, Burton enlightens them about the War of the Primes on Earth, in which the Fallen betrayed his brothers and amassed an army of followers (like Insecticons, Predacons and Seekers). In retaliation, the Primes recruited the Knights of Cybertron including the Dinobots to fight the Fallen's armies. In the war that followed, the Fallen was prevented from destroying ancient humanity although there were heavy casualties on both sides, including six Primes. Some members of the mythical Knights of Cybertron, known as the Apprentices, remained on Earth as they were tasked by the Dinobots, the Grandmasters, to protect the relics of the Primes as they were dangerous world-destroying weapons if they fell into the wrong hands. Eventually the Knights first revealed themselves to humanity in England during the reign of King Arthur. The alien Knights saw in Camelot the best that humanity had to offer and entrusted a chosen few of them to guard the relics of the Primes with their lives. Thus the Custodians were founded as a secret society in which the Knights and a select few men cooperated to ensure the safety of ancient Cybertronian artifacts throughout human history. This included generations of families, originally European, such as those of the Burtons and Yeagers. Each family had a guardian Knight to assist them in safeguarding the relic they had been assigned. Burton reveals that there a giant battle in medieval times in which the Knights of Cybertron and humanity had worked together to repel an otherworldly invasion by a being known as Derodomontatus, after which the relics were buried and hidden in various locations across the globe and the first generation of Knights disappeared. According to Burton (who collaborated with former Sector Seven agent Seymour Simmons following the battle in Chicago to research about the presence of Cybertronians on Earth during Arthurian times), there is evidence that the battle was fought over the Omega Lock, a device that was the conduit to the AllSpark and held the power to restore life to Cybertron. Four Omega Keys when brought together would activate the Omega Lock, which if used on Earth would reshape it in Cybertron's image, terraforming the planet and wiping out all indigenous life on Earth. Fearing that the Omega Lock could fall into Decepticon hands if they do not take action, Burton assigns Cade and Viviane on a mission to find an Omega Key that Viviane's father was supposed to be guarding along with the Cybertronian knight Metalhawk before they both mysteriously disappeared years ago. 
After Burton's guardian knight Stormreign opens a GroundBridge, Viviane takes Cade to her home in London where they find clues left by Viviane's father that lead to the Big Ben. With Cade and Viviane working together to decipher the clues, the Omega Key is found in the interior of the clock face along with a recording by Viviane's father which implies that he and Metalhawk were targeted and killed by an unknown assailant searching for the Omega Key. Viviane gets some closure over her father's death and is comforted by Cade whom she begins to appreciate. Viviane places the Omega Key in her bag and is about to board Bumblebee with Cade when the street is attacked by the Decepticon Blitzwing, who had the three of them under aerial surveillance. The Combaticons move in to attack the convoy, combining into the gestalt Bruticus. Drift and Prowl hold the Decepticon combiner at bay long enough for Cade to contact Burton for reinforcements. Unfortunately, Bumblebee and Cliffjumper come under attack by Decepticons Shatter and Dropkick who are hunting Cade and Viviane for the Omega Key. Burton sends in Stormreign to defeat Bruticus before he can carve a trail of destruction through London. Bumblebee and Cliffjumper defeat Shatter and Dropkick to keep the humans and the Omega Key safe. After the battle in London, Bumblebee takes Viviane and Cade back to Castle Folgan via Stormreign's GroundBridge. Meanwhile the Stunticons steal the damaged space bridge pillars from one of KSI's abandoned labs to bring back to Megatron. Elsewhere, Shockblast uses CNA from Predacon bones unearthed on Cybertron to clone feral Predacons as Decepticon weapons against the Dinobots.
Back at Burton's mansion, Burton shows Fowler the second Omega Key locked away in a secret vault of the castle's basement. When Cade and Viviane return to Castle Folgan, they ask Burton how to proceed on their mission to recover the rest of the Keys, as the Autobots and Fowler return to the Unit:E base for a training session. Burton reveals the second Key in his custody and then interlocks the two Omega Keys, causing them to generate a hologram of Earth where the location of the third Omega Key, which is in the Aokighara Forest in Japan. Cade suggests that they find the Dinobots, the Grandmasters, so that they can watch over their retrieval mission. Stormreign and Burton go to Dinobot Island, an uninhabited island in the middle of Lake Erie where the Dinobots have been living freely since the battle of Hong Kong. Stormreign talks to Dinobot leader Grimlock about how the relics of the Primes are endangered by the machinations of evil forces on Earth. The Dinobots are shown to be capable of speech and agree to help. Hence the next day Cade, Fowler, Drift, Prowl and the Dinobots along with several Unit:E soldiers travel to the Aokighara Forest, journeying into its depths to find the Omega Key guarded by the Ikaruga clan (presently headed by Naoto) and the knight Dai Atlas, who had also disappeared decades ago. The Key is eventually unearthed along with a signal jammer that causes dampening of long-range communications in the dense forest. A recording reveals Dai Atlas to have been attacked and possibly slain like Metalhawk while he was carrying out his duty of protecting the Key. Elsewhere, thanks to intel from Barricade and Soundblaster, the Decepticons manage to locate the Unit:E base in Oregon where training sessions of Autobots and humans alike are ongoing. A training montage following the battle in London and prior to the mission in Japan shows that after a sparring match, Prowl and Drift discuss the latter's past on Cybertron when Drift went by the name Deadlock, a former Decepticon. The two received training from Master Yoketron before Deadlock's supposed betrayal which led to Yoketron's death during the war. Drift apologizes for his inadvertent actions that led to Prowl seeing him as a traitor, but announces that he has rechristened himself after leaving the Decepticons and joined the Autobot cause to make amends for his past.
Sometime later, Cade and Fowler reconvene with Burton and Viviane in Trinity Library, Dublin where they interlock the three Omega Keys that project a hologram depicting the location of the fourth Key in Macchu Picchu, Peru. In light of this discovery, the four of them depart for Peru with Stormreign after leaving the three Keys in the custody of the Dinobots at Castle Folgan. In the Peruvian city of Cusco, they visit a local monastery underneath which is a hidden temple. Viviane finds a hidden mechanism that leads them into an underground passageway, through which they emerge out on the other side where they encounter the knight Magnaboss. They reveal their status as Custodians which makes the knight recognize them as allies. Stormreign shortly arrives and explains to Magnaboss their mission to find the fourth and final Omega Key. Magnaboss leads the five of them to a nearby valley inhabited by Andean tribesmen led by their chief Amaru who guard the Omega Key under his watch. The humans successfully retrieve the Key and hand it over to Stormreign. However, while on their return trip, Fowler picks up a distress call from Unit:E revealing that the Unit:E hangar in Oregon is under attack.
It turns out that Megatron had ordered the Oregon base to be attacked after blindsiding their defenses by staging a power outage. The Unit:E soldiers fight back with tanks, jets and Sentinel drones from KSI but are overwhelmed by the Decepticons' firepower until the Autobots stationed there fight back. In the chaos, several humans are kidnapped. Megatron blackmails the Autobots into giving him the four Omega Keys in exchange for the lives of the hostages. Unwilling to sacrifice innocent lives, the Knights prepare to hand over the Keys. Prowl contacts Ultra Magnus and his platoon citing the dire situation. Cade and the Autobots travel to the designated meeting spot, an abandoned ghost town in the Kamchatka Peninsula, to answer Megatron's demand. After the hostages are released, Cade hands over the four Keys to Megatron who interlocks them to reveal the location of the Omega Lock being at Stonehenge. The Decepticon coalition is then suddenly attacked by the weapons systems of Ultra Magnus's spaceship, the Iron Will, which has just entered Earth's atmosphere. Ultra Magnus's platoon, consisting of Kup, Hot Rod, Springer, Warpath, Blaster, Pipes, Chromedome, Hardhead, the Protectobots and the Aerialbots, greatly contributes in thwarting the Decepticons who are sent fleeing. The Autobots and Knight Apprentices rescue the hostages and force the Decepticons to retreat but not before Megatron flies away with the four Omega Keys. Ultra Magnus reveals that he and his team arrived on Earth acting on orders from Optimus Prime himself who assigned them the directive of securing the Omega Lock hidden on Earth, and that they have been operating from Mars for the past two years after sending five of their crew members to scout Earth. Magnus announces that they must recover the Omega Lock from the Decepticons before they can synchronize the four Omega Keys and cyberform Earth.
The final battle begins at Stonehenge when the Autobots race against time to arrive there in the Iron Will. The Omega Lock is raised from the earth by the Decepticons combining the four Omega Keys. It is discovered that the Omega Lock serves as the tomb of the Knights who fell in the battle against Derodomontatus. The Decepticons have a new weapon in the form of Hun-Gurr, a vile Terrorcon beast that was unleashed by Derodomontatus before his death to hunt down the Knights of Cybertron. Hun-Gurr killed Dai Atlas when he refused to give up the location of his Omega Key and fought Metalhawk to the death. Viviane's father and Metalhawk sacrificed themselves to entomb Hun-Gurr in an ice sheet in the Arctic Circle. Hun-Gurr terrorizes the Autobots before being slain in combat by Cybertronian knights to avenge the deaths of Metalhawk and Dai Atlas. The Predacons (cloned by Shockblast) are deployed to fight the Dinobots. The Decepticons attempt to synchronize the four Omega Keys to terraform the Earth but are defeated in the massive battle as the tide is turned in the Autobots' favour by the arrival of EDC reinforcements. As a backup plan, Megatron orders the Stunticons to open a space bridge on top of the Omega Lock using the reassembled space bridge pillars stolen from KSI. The Stunticons combine into Menasor to destroy the Autobots but are foiled by the Aerialbots who merge into Superion. Similarly, the Protectobots unite to form Defensor who battles and defeats Bruticus in a one-on-one fight. The Autobots reclaim the Omega Lock but are unable to stop the activation of the space bridge atop it due to the clash of the Autobot and Decepticon Combiners. 
The Space Bridge opens and reveals Optimus Prime who has returned to Earth. The Autobots cheer with joy but their joy soon turns to shock when Optimus Prime signals an invasion fleet to come through the Space Bridge. Optimus Prime reveals his purple eyes as the snail-shaped Quintesson ships arrive in Earth's atmosphere and begin dropping Seeds onto the planet's surface, cyberforming entire cities and killing millions. The Quintesson fleet proceeds to devastate the EDC effortlessly and Optimus declares himself to be Nemesis Prime vowing to crush Earth under his heel. Bumblebee tries to snap Optimus out of his brainwashing but gets killed, much to the horror of the Autobots and their allies present. They take on Optimus but are easily defeated. Nemesis Prime proclaims that now he fights for his own kind alone. Megatron notes that Nemesis Prime has become much like the late Sentinel Prime. The Earth is razed by the Quintessons (with Quintessa looking down at the ravaged Earth from her warship in glee, proud of her soldier Nemesis Prime) and the film ends with Ultra Magnus rallying the survivors into an underground resistance movement against the dictatorial Nemesis Prime who begins ruling Earth with an iron fist.
In a post credits scene, Quintessa (satisfied with the performance of her creations Nemesis Prime and Megatron) brings up the fact that Derodomontatus was the Quintesson who told her about Earth being the world that was under the protection of her treacherous Knights. She then orders her Quintesson minions to deploy a planetary superweapon to target Earth, with the superweapon revealed to be a ringed planet with two horns. Quintessa then commands the superweapon, dubbed "Uncreator", to awaken.
