Not shown: the 'Q' behind his head. Fashionable!

All humans make mistakes. Sometimes, what comes from those mistakes comes the best thing that ever happened to them. That's what Cade Yeager believes when he looks at his daughter, to whom he and his girlfriend gave birth at the cost of their high school graduation. While Cade is not the most responsible father in the world, his most redeeming quality is that when it comes to keeping his daughter safe, he does not go back on his word, no matter what; a promise he made to his bride before she passed away. He does have a creative and optimistic mind, lending it to building all kinds of inventions to make a good business out of. Sadly, none of these inventions have brought in much profit for his family. Knowing all of the opportunities he lost, he has sworn not to let history repeat itself, which is probably why he disapproves of Tessa dating boys before she graduates from high school.

Age of Extinction Cade Yeager is a single father living in rural Texas who wants to make a difference in the world for everyone, with his inventions. He has a young daughter named Tessa Yeager, whom he doesn't want to start dating boys until she's out of high school. One fateful day, he came across an old dilapidated truck rusting inside an old movie theater. Thinking he could buy it and strip it for parts to send his young daughter to college, he nearly jumped at the opportunity to purchase it....with his friends money. It didn't take long for the rusted truck to show its true form, the leader of the heroic Autobots, Optimus Prime. After promising to repair him, Cemetery wind came to crash the party, in attempts to find and execute Optimus Prime. Cade had done his best to protect his daughter until Optimus had made his presence known to the soldiers. He broke from the barn and began attacking the soldiers. Cade his daughter and Friend Lucas made an escape with the aid of Tessa's secret boyfriend, Shane who is an Irish Race car driver, whom he disapproves of her dating...go figure. The now foursome made their way to Texas to only drive away from the fierce chase with Lucas dead by the detonation of Lockdown's grenade. Once Optimus found the group a place to hide, he went back onto the main road to ensure that the group wasn't followed by any military forces...which left Cade, Tessa and Shane at an abandoned gas station...awkward. Cade found out little about Shane, only that he was 20 years old, which didn't sit too well with him. Shane then explained to Cade that they were protected under certain laws within the state of Texas. After spending the rest of the day and night there, Optimus returned to collect the trio, and began to assemble the rest of the remaining Autobots, but before that could be done, Cade had made a pit stop to see if he could access his credit card account, which...obviously the Government had a lock on. Little time passed before local law enforcement came to the location where Cade tried to use the ATM with a drone taken from Cemetery Wind. After that task was taken care off...with little success, The Autobots reassembled to find out why they were being hunted like animals. Cade, Shane and Tessa were not too welcomed within the Autobots camp, having guns drawn on them almost immediately by Hound and Crosshairs, it only took Optimus intervening to stop them from opening fire on them. After the potentially volatile situation had calmed down, Cade began to show what video footage was on the Drone he had collected from Cemetery Wind when they invaded his home. It was revealed that Leadfoot, a close friend of Hounds was killed and his metal body was taken to be melted down for Transformium. Seeing the footage had encouraged the Autobots to travel to Chicago to gather intelligence on KSI and what they were doing behind closed doors. Once there Bumblebee took his vehicle form and had gained access to the garage area of KSI with Cade and Shane, where the newly designed Stinger was on display. As soon as they made it safely inside the building Cade had found his way to where they were melting down Ratchet's head, he captured the footage to show what was going on behind closed doors. Seeing his friend melted down for scrap, enraged the leader of the Autobots further threatening to tare the people responsible apart. Cade was then made when someone discovered his presence. He was then taken into custody by Harold Attinger, who began to question him, when all of a sudden, Bumblebee and Drift had arrived to save the day. The rest of the Autobots then confronted Mr. Joshua Joyce about the atrocities committed against the Transformers. Optimus having been sadden by the cruel words from Joshua, had ordered the Autobots to retreat and declared them "done". Once out of KSI, The Autobots were perused by Galvatron and Stinger. Optimus engaged Galvatron while the rest of the Autobots continued on their way, leaving Optimus's life in the hands of Galvatron and Lockdown.Tessa having been tossed right into the midst of the battle found herself captured along side Optimus Prime and being taken into Lockdown's ship. Leaving Cade devastated and willing to stop at nothing to bring his Daughter back. The Autobots also wanting their leader back, soon stormed Lockdown's ship to search for Cade's daughter Tessa. While on board Cade came across a large armory, from which he took an extremely powerful gun. Seeing that he and Shane were about to be engaged by a large number of Lockdown's sentry units, readied themselves to engage, Shane however immediately surrendered to their vast numbers, leaving them wide open to a barrage of fire from Cade. He was...disappointed in Shane having surrendered so easily. After some searching he and Shane finally found Tessa...but had to find a way out, which for them...the only way found was the tow cables launched by the Autobots which were connected to a few large sky scrapers. The Trio then began to make their way down the cables to the tops of the buildings, until the beasts held within Lockdown's ship began to pursue them, having destroyed all but one cable, Bumblebee came to the rescue killing much of the enemy forces, but this wasn't enough to stop the cables from releasing which cause Shane, Cade and Tessa to go into a free fall only to be saved by Bumblebee. The Autobot scout soon met up with Crosshairs who had commandeered and enemy fighter jet to help the humans and bots escape, they soon took flight with the enemy close behind them. Crosshairs wanted to use his experience as a paratrooper to take them out, leaving Cade and Shane to operate the rear mounted guns. After a lengthy aerial battle, Bumblebee had lost control of the ship, which caused it to crash through the street. Cade having miraculously survived with his daughter and her boyfriend, was enraged to find a civilian complaining to him about crashing the ship into his car. Sometime later, Cade having figured out what Galvatron's intentions are, warns Joshua to not activate him. Once in Hong Kong, Cade joins the battle alongside Bumblebee and Hound, despite the fact that the bots and him are largely outnumbered. Sometime afterwards, Cade follows Optimus, to aid him in his fight against Lockdown. Lockdown almost immediately gains the upper hand and begins to beat Optimus senseless. Cade attempts to help Optimus, but is soon held at gunpoint but none other than Harold Attinger, who berates Cade for choosing to side with the Autobots, which Optimus responds by shooting Attinger, killing him instantly. The distraction caused Optimus to lose focus, which allowed Lockdown enough time to impale Optimus with his own blade. Soon after Tessa and Shane had shown up to Optimus's aid, along with Bumblebee (more of Bumblebee's insubordination...go figure). Cade under direct fire from Lockdown, had allowed the right amount of distraction to allow Shane and Tessa to free Optimus, allowing him to deliver the final blow to Lockdown. Optimus wanting to kill off the remainder of Lockdown's forces, sets off one of his left over grenades, killing all of them, while Optimus jets off with the humans in his arms, finally out of the fire zone, Optimus orders the Autobots to protect the Humans while he is away, looking for his Creators. Tessa however mentions that the Yeagers no longer have a place to live, which Joshua claims he could help with...a Happy ending, nonetheless.
