## Biography

### Hardships in Life

When **Cade Yeager** finds out that the money is going, he sets with Lucas 'his friend' to find junk that he can strip down and make money for the house and mainly for Tessa's college. Cade has one rule for them both, they can't be dating, but later finds out that Tessa has broken that rule and is dating Shane Dyson.

### Finding an Autobot

One day, both Cade and Lucas go to an abandoned movie theater, looking for parts for his house. After playing throwing a football at Lucas, he finds an old vintage truck inside the theater, asking how much it is to the owner, only to find out that the truck has never been seen before, and buys it for $150 (using Lucas's money). Cade brings it to his home to strip its parts and get money out of it. Not knowing that he has bought a giant robot, he continues repairing it after having many arguments with his daughter. He then finds a missile in the trucks engine and accidentally activates it, causing it to fly out of control and enter the family room where Tessa is hiding, causing the truck to transform into the Autobot leader Optimus Prime.

### Helping an Autobot

Thinking that he can help Prime, he asks Lucas to get parts for him, which Lucas agrees to, only knowing that Cade might be killed so he can get his car. Cade gets back to fix Prime, wasting nights fixing him. The CIA's black ops unit, Cemetery Wind, then come and ask Cade for the truck's location, but Cade disagrees and accidentally says him, making the CIA know that Optimus is, the men then take Cade to the ground, and threaten to kill Tessa for Prime's location. Optimus then storms the yard to save Cade, Tessa, and Lucas, fighting their way through the battle zone. They are all interrupted by Shane with his car. They all enter the car, and Cade finds out that Shane is Tessa's boyfriend, which makes Cade angry. After getting through most of Texas and then witnessing Lucas' death, they then enter Optimus.

### On the Run with the Autobots

Optimus then brings the three to an abandoned cafe where they stay for the night. After hearing that all of this has ruined Tessa's life, and that Shane is 20 and dating a 17 year old Tessa. Cade gets working on the drone that he picked when Cemetery Wind came to his house, and finds out that they had hunted down Ratchet and Leadfoot. He then goes with Tessa, Shane and Optimus to try and get money, only to find out that the CIA has blocked his account.

He says that KSI is making new robots from the Autobots, and hears that Prime is going to kill whoever is behind this.

Activating the drone, Cade shows this to Prime, and then starts chatting to Darcy, the CEO of KSI, and tells him that she thinks that Ratchet is a Decepticon, but Cade says that 'it's a Autobot which fought for us'. He then enters the room where scientists are testing their Galvatron "drone". He is spotted by one of the men and tries to escape, but is captured.
