IG-88's Adventures of Transformers: The Last Knight

IG-88's Adventures Of Transformers: The Last Knight is the 5th installment of the IG-88 / Transformers Trilogy to be made by BeastBoyRules52 XD. It will be released in the near future.

## Plot

In 484 AD, King Arthur and his knights fight a losing battle against the Saxons. Elsewhere, Merlin approaches the Knights of Iacon, a group of Transformers hiding on Earth, to help win the war. They hand him an alien staff, before transforming together into Dragonstorm and turn the tide of the battle, but warn Merlin that a great evil will come for the staff.

In the present, years after the Hong Kong Uprising, Optimus Prime crash-lands on Cybertron, and meets his alleged creator Quintessa. She blames Optimus for Cybertron's destruction and attempts to brainwashes him into helping to gain Merlin's staff, which can absorb Earth's energy to restore Cybertron. Earth is revealed to be the slumbering Unicron, the ancient enemy of Cybertron, and whose horns are emerging across the planet. Knowing that Quintessa is working for The Horde Of Darkness and Zeldris, Optimus refuses, and is suddenly confronted by a clone of him, whom Quintessa dubs as Nemesis Prime. Nemesis easily defeats Optimus in combat, before accepting Quintessa's offer to get the staff while Optimus is imprisoned.

On Earth, ever since the destruction of Chicago and the Hong Kong Uprising, Transformers remain unwelcome amongst humanity, apart from in Cuba, and are hunted by the Transformers Reaction Force (TRF), a paramilitary force manufactured from the fallen Cemetery Wind. However, the U.S. military, particularly those who had formerly worked with the Transformers, such as Colonel William Lennox, is secretly against the new policy, as they know TRF is secretly working for Zeldris.

Allies to the Autobots Cade Yeager, The 88 Squad, Team Mitzuki, The Reservoir Bots, and PreCure help hide refugee Transformers from the TRF in his remote junkyard. In the war-torn Chicago, Cade, The 88 Squad, Team Mitzuki, Bumblebee, young scavenger Izabella and her Transformer companions Sqweeks and Canopy help a group of children evade The TGWTG Squad and the TRF drones, but Canopy is killed by Zeldris. As The TGWTG Squad escape, Cade receives a mechanical talisman from a dying Autobot knight and has a brief standoff with the TRF, before being saved by The 88 Squad, Team Mitzuki, and Lennox. Cade, The 88 Squad, and Team Mitzuki return to the junkyard with Izabella and Sqweeks and the talisman. Both Zeldris, The Horde Of Darkness, Megatron, and the U.S. government become aware of the talisman's value and power, reluctantly joining forces to obtain it. A group of Decepticon prisoners are released to aid in the mission.

The Decepticons, The Horde Of Darkness, Zeldris, and the TRF locate Cade's hideout with the help of a tracker previously planted on Bumblebee. Cade, his assistant Jimmy, Izabella, and Sqweeks flee from the villains and the TRF to an abandoned town where The 88 Squad, Team Mitzuki, The Reservoir Bots, PreCure, and the Autobots ambush their enemies and defeat them while Cade, Jimmy, and Izabella battle a unit of TRF drones. Cogman, a steampunk Transformer, appears and invites Cade to the United Kingdom to meet his employer, Sir Edmund Burton, who has connections to the Transformers. Burton also has another Transformer associate named Hot Rod find Viviane Wembley, a University of Oxford professor, and bring her to him. The Reservoir Bots, PreCure, Crosshairs, Hound, Drift, and Jimmy stay behind to watch over Izabella and Sqweeks.

Bringing Cade, Viviane, Bumblebee, The 88 Squad, and Team Mitzuki together, Burton explains that Transformers have been aiding mankind in war for centuries, their existence hidden by a secret society of famed historical figures, the Order of Witwiccans, of which he is the last living member. The talisman can lead to Merlin's staff, buried with him in a Cybertronian spacecraft hidden under the sea. However, only a direct descendant of Merlin can wield it due to the knights encoding his DNA into it. Viviane is revealed as the last of Merlin's bloodline. Zeldris, The Horde Of Darkness, The TRF, and local authorities discover them, forcing them to flee while The 88 Squad and Team Mitzuki fight off Zeldris & The Horde Of Darkness. Following a series of clues while evading their pursuers and another Horde Of Darkness defeat, the group head to the Royal Navy Museum. There, Cade, Viviane, Bumblebee, Cogman, The 88 Squad, and Team Mitzuki commandeer museum submarine HMS *Alliance*, also a Transformer, to find the spacecraft. The Horde Of Darkness, Zeldris, and The TRF, after a failed attempt to stop the *Alliance*, pursue them in DSV submarines.

Burton contacts Seymour Simmons, both learning that Earth is Unicron, and the staff will be used to drain the planet's life, via an access point hidden under Stonehenge. Locating the ship, Cade, Viviane, The 88 Squad, and Team Mitzuki discover Merlin's tomb and obtain the staff. Viviane activates it, causing the spacecraft to become airborne, awakening the Knights of Iacon. As the TRF, now under Lennox, try to take the staff from them, The Horde Of Darkness and Zeldris turn on them, claiming the staff for themselves.

Nemesis Prime arrives, forcing the humans to surrender the staff. Bumblebee, Lennox, and Cade confront Nemesis who engages in battle with Bumblebee, while The 88 Squad and Team Mitzuki confront The Horde Of Darkness and Zeldris. Just as Nemesis is about to finish him off, the formerly-mute Bumblebee begins speaking in his own voice, allowing Optimus Prime, who has broken free from his imprisonment earlier in the film with assistance from three other imprisoned robots: Gundam, Gigantor, and The Ultramen, to ambush and kill Nemesis Prime.

The Decepticons ambush Optimus and Megatron steals the staff from him, but not before Gigantor, Gundam, and Ultraman come in to save Optimus. The Knights, unaware that it is Optimus, try to execute Optimus, but Cade stops them when his talisman transforms into Excalibur. The Knights yield and join the humans, Autobots, Gundam, Gigantor, Ultramen, The 88 Squad, and Team Mitzuki. As The Reservoir Bots, PreCure, and the other Autobots also arrive to help the heroes, Burton tries to stop Megatron and Zeldris from activating the staff at Stonehenge only to be mortally wounded, dying peacefully with Cogman at his side.

At the same time, Cybertron's remains collide with Earth to begin draining energy from it, devastating the planet and killing millions. The Autobots, Gundam, Ultramen, Gigantor, The 88 Squad, Team Mitzuki, The Reservoir Bots, PreCure, Dragonstorm, and human military forces converge on Stonehenge and Cybertron, attacking the Decepticons, Zeldris, The Horde Of Darkness, and Quintessa's minions, who either flee or are killed while Quintessa is defeated by Optimus, Gundam, Gigantor, Ultramen, Kanata, IG-88, and Bumblebee. Zeldris, who is severly injured thanks to Emerl, escapes with The Horde Of Darkness. The worlds are then saved upon Viviane removing the staff and the Autobots, Gundam, Gigantor, and Ultramen leave Earth to rebuild what is left of Cybertron. The 88 Squad and Team Mitzuki also leave to a new dimension while The Reservoir Bots & PreCure leave back to the 88 Squad Universe. In a mid-credits scene, Quintessa, who has survived by using a space bridge to escape and is disguised as a human, approaches a group of scientists inspecting one of Unicron's horns, offering a way to destroy him. However, she is crushed and killed instantly by a piano dropped by IG-80.
