:''Joshua Joyce is a [[human]] from the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (franchise)|Age of Extinction]] portion of the [[movie continuity family]].''

The technologies industry attracts, and indeed would not exist in the first place without, brilliant and determined inventors. However, the cutthroat forces of the modern world economy often push these geniuses into a state of narrow focus, trying to develop the next big thing without properly considering consequences or moral and ethical ramifications. '''Joshua Joyce''', head of [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated]], is one of those who fell into this trap in his quest to create a line of human-made remote-controlled Transformers. But underneath, there may still be some good in him.

To fulfill his childhood dream of making the world a better place, Joyce partnered his KSI with [[Harold Attinger]]'s [[Cemetery Wind]] CIA unit to create a line of man-made [[Transformer]]s to serve the United States and the rest of the world. Following the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Battle of Chicago]], Cemetery Wind began hunting down all Earth-bound Transformers, donating their remains to Joyce for his company to melt down and use as raw materials to make their own drones. However, Cemetery Wind was also slaughtering the heroic [[Autobot]]s, apparently knowing this and caring little, Joyce told his employees that the remains they received were those of the evil [[Decepticon]]s. To further aid in the operation, Joyce came to rely on [[Brains]] to help with the construction of the drones, treating the diminutive Autobot as a slave, and callously torturing him whenever he spoke out against his captor.

It was during this time that Joyce "cracked the code" of the Transformers' primal metals, dubbing it "[[Living metal#Live-action film series|Transformium]]". However, with Earth's limited supplies of the element running low and the demand for Transformium in the labs outgrowing the input from Cemetery Wind's hunts, Joyce and Attinger entered a deal with the non-aligned Cybertronian bounty hunter [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]], who in exchange for Attinger's help finding [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], would hand over a [[Seed]], which upon detonation would produce enough Transformium to last Joyce a century. Among Joyce's smaller operations were attempts to build improved counterparts of Optimus and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], though to his dismay, the intended doppelgänger of Optimus, a military prototype, kept resembling [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] with each iteration.

However, Joyce's plans began to fall through, as did his alliance with Attinger, when [[Cade Yeager]], an ally of the Autobots, infiltrated KSI's headquarters in [[Chicago]]. Yeager was apprehended and delivered to Attinger for interrogation, but Yeager was soon rescued when the Autobots stormed the facility, having learned of the demise of [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], and the desecration of not only his corpse but of all other Cybertronian victims of Cemetery Wind. Joyce personally confronted Optimus, and despite being intimidated by the Autobots' rage and firepower (much to the freed Brains' pleasure), kept his composure and smugly informed the Autobots that the world would approve of what he had done for the sake of technology. Joyce further explained that humanity could now produce their own Transformers, rendering the Autobots obsolete. A disgusted Optimus led the Autobots in a retreat, and it was at that moment Attinger ordered Joyce to send Galvatron and [[Stinger (AOE)|Stinger]] after the Autobot leader, declaring the raid a terrorist attack and worthy of a CIA op in retaliation. Joyce reluctantly consented, and his reluctance proved well-founded, as Galvatron not only opened fire on civilians without an order, but he ''spoke'', a function he was never programmed to do. To his immense disgust, Joyce found opposition from Attinger when he declared Galvatron a failure and scrambled paramedics to the prototype's casualties, who dismissed the damage since innocents died every day. To Joyce's surprise, Lockdown arrived on the scene and apprehended Prime before Galvatron could finish the fight.

In the wake of the destructive Autobot raid and Galvatron's unsuccessful field test, Joyce ordered all prototypes moved to their facilities in [[China]]. [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]] intercepted this information and provided Cade with Joyce's phone number. Cade warned Joyce that his prototypes had minds of their own, and tried to appeal to his conscience as an inventor. Though Joyce put up a facade, he heeded Cade's warning and ordered additional security around Galvatron. Attinger soon delivered the Seed to Joyce, but Joyce, disillusioned with his ally for his callousness during the field test and remembering Cade's warning, tried to decline the Seed. Attinger aggressively warned him to not back out, but it was at that moment that Galvatron activated on his own and breathed life into the other fifty KSI drones, taking them as his own Decepticon army. As the drones destroyed the lab, Joyce is kill by a monster with his associates [[Darcy Tirrel]] and [[Su Yueming]] and the Seed in tow.
