Lucas Flannery

Lucas Flannery is a minor character from the Age of Extinction portion of the live-action film series continuity family. He is a close friend of Cade and Tessa's who helps the former with work in his barn. 
He is portrayed by T.J. Miller, who also played Fred in Big Hero 6, Tuffnut Thorston in the How to Train Your Dragon movies, Gene in The Emoji Movie, and Weasel in X-Men's Deadpool films.
==History==
Lucas met up with Cade at an old theater in Paris, Texas to purchase salvage; that they would be buying it with Lucas's own money came as a surprise to him. While in the theater, Lucas discussed the memories he had of the place with Cade before being knocked over by a football.
After Cade bought, among other items, a rusty old truck, Lucas helped him bring it back to the Yeager farm and complained when Tessa revealed that Yeager Advanced Robotics probably wasn't in a situation to pay him back any time soon. As the argument between Tessa and Cade moved into the barn robotics workshop, Lucas watched on as a "Butler-Bot" struggled to bring him a can of beer.
Lucas returned the next day to find that Cade hadn't left the barn all night. He was suitably shocked when the old truck revealed itself as a Transformer, and attempted to convince Cade to call the government hotline for a supposed $25,000 reward. Instead, he was enlisted to fetch a shopping list of repair equipment for Cade to fix their guest, Optimus Prime.
Against Cade's wishes, Lucas called the hotline anyway, unwittingly scrambling the Cemetery Wind taskforce to the farm. Lucas attempted to flee the CIA agents as their leader, James Savoy, threatened Tessa in an attempt to force Prime's location from Cade.
After Optimus revealed himself to Cemetery Wind, the timely arrival of Shane Dyson in his rally car allowed Lucas and the Yeagers to make their escape. They were pursued by a fleet of CIA vehicles through a cornfield and then an abandoned warehouse, before ditching the car to get aboard Optimus Prime. However, Lucas' foot became stuck under the seat and he fell behind the others. He managed to get free, but when Lockdown, a Cybertronian bounty hunter pursuing Optimus, threw a grenade, Lucas was caught in its blast radius and immediately reduced to a scorched, petrified corpse in mid-stride.
Later on, Lucas' death was avenged along with Ratchet by Optimus when he killed Lockdown in Hong Kong.
== Personality ==
Lucas is shown to be quite caring of his friends (although he is often dismissive of Cade's inventing skills). He also likes to make lighthearted fun of his friends, at times. However, he isn't against turning in Optimus after discovering he is a Transformers (and thus unintentionally destroying Cade and Tessa's trust in him), showing that, while he does want to help Cade and Tessa, he often goes about it the wrong way.
== Trivia ==
* How to Train Your Dragon 2, Transformers: Age of Extinction, and Big Hero 6, all of which TJ Miller starred in, came out in 2014.
** Both How to Train Your Dragon 2 and Transformers: Age of Extinction came out in June 2014.
*Most fans didn't feel any sympathy for Lucas dying, since his stupid greed resulted in Cemetery Wind attacking Cade and Tessa; getting them branded as fugitives and also putting Lockdown on their trail. 
**In fact, aside from Tessa'a brief sorrow for his death, no one felt anything; Cade just accepted Lucas was dead.
