	It is the year [[484]] in [[United Kingdom\|England]]. A medieval battle rages. [[King Arthur]] and his [[Knights of the Round Table\|knight]]s are looking down the barrel of defeat at the hands of the [[Saxon]]s, and their only hope lies with the magician [[Merlin]]. Elsewhere, Merlin (in reality merely a drunkard), rides up to a [[Guardian Knights' ship\|long-crashed alien ship]] and beseeches [[Guardian Knight\|the occupants]] for help. He has kept their secret, but now needs their help. The other knights are losing hope, but Arthur believes Merlin will come through. Merlin manages to convince [[Stormreign\|a giant metal red-armored knight]] at the ship to help, and it presents him with a [[Staff of Merlin\|staff]], allowing him to return to the battle with a [[Dragonstorm\|giant metal dragon]]. The battle is won in favor of Camelot.		It is the year [[484]] in [[United Kingdom\|England]]. A medieval battle rages.

	Present day: five years have passed since the battle of [[Hong Kong]]. [[Optimus Prime (Movie)\|Optimus Prime]] drifts apparently lifeless in space. Both he and [[Megatron (Movie)\|Megatron]] have vanished from [[Earth]], and in spite of the atrocities caused by the [[CIA]]'s [[Cemetery Wind]], the vast majority of Earth's governments agreed that all Transformers should be considered illegal out of fear for more of the devastation that had already occurred in the past, with the [[Transformers Reaction Force]] set up to track them down, though they've found refuge in some places such as [[Cuba]], where [[Seymour Simmons]] is hanging out with some displaced Autobots. Meanwhile, Transformers continue to arrive in waves while [[NASA]]'s [[Jet Propulsion Laboratory]] detects something large incoming.

	While the next film in the franchise, 2018's, ''[[Bumblebee (film)\|Bumblebee]],'' was initially billed as a prequel to the franchise as a whole—bridging the gap between Bumblebee's World War II adventures and his appearance in the 2007 ''Transformers'' film—the movie would be hastily retooled relatively late in production to drop many of these elements entirely. Subsequent reshoots would instead set up this ostensible prequel as its own, standalone movie. It seems likely that the poor commercial reception to ''The Last Knight'' may have been a contributing factor in this last-minute change and positive reception to ''Bumblebee''.

	While the next film in the franchise, 2018's, ''[[Bumblebee (film)\|Bumblebee]],'' was initially billed as a prequel to the franchise as a whole—bridging the gap between Bumblebee's World War II adventures and his appearance in the 2007 ''Transformers'' film—the movie would be hastily retooled relatively late in production to drop many of these elements entirely. Subsequent reshoots would instead set up this ostensible prequel as its own, standalone movie. It seems likely that the poor commercial reception to ''The Last Knight'' may have been a contributing factor in this last-minute change and positive reception to ''Bumblebee''.

	It is the year [[484]] in [[United Kingdom\|England]]. A medieval battle rages.

Elsewhere, Merlin (in reality merely a drunkard), rides up to a [[Guardian Knights' ship\|long-crashed alien ship]] and beseeches [[Guardian Knight\|the occupants]] for help. He has kept their secret, but now needs their help. The other knights are losing hope, but Arthur believes Merlin will come through. Merlin manages to convince [[Stormreign\|a giant metal red-armored knight]] at the ship to help, and it presents him with a [[Staff of Merlin\|staff]], allowing him to return to the battle with a [[Dragonstorm\|giant metal dragon]].
