==Plot==

Sixty-five million years ago, an alien race known as the "Creators" used devices called Seeds to cover Earth with a metallic alloy called "Transformium", [[Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event|supposedly wiping out the dinosaurs in the process]]. In the present day, geologist Darcy Tirrel excavates the Transformium for K.S.I. Industries, using it to build Transformer drones.

In the years after the Battle of Chicago,{{efn|As depicted in ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]'' (2011)}} humans view Transformers as hostile and terminate all joint operations with them including [[NEST (Transformers)|NEST]]. Though the public believes that the [[Autobot]]s were granted sanctuary, they are hunted down by a rogue [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] [[Black operation|black ops]] division, Cemetery Wind, led by opportunistic, rogue intelligence operative Harold Attinger, who believes that all Transformers are dangerous and must be destroyed. [[Lockdown (Transformers)|Lockdown]], a Cybertronian assassin and [[bounty hunter]] working for the Creators, is tasked to find [[Optimus Prime]]. In exchange, he gives Attinger a Seed if his division manages to capture Optimus. Lockdown locates and kills Ratchet when he refuses to give up Optimus's location.
