He even plans to chauffeur her and escort her to her looming graduation. Her mother passed away during childbirth, and Cade wants to keep Tessa close so close in fact that he has pretty much prevented her from having a social life outside of school. cheap), he is in debt, his farmhouse faces foreclosure, and he has repeatedly borrowed money from his friend and business partner Lucas Flannery, a good-natured if goofy beach bum, and recovering drug addict.Ĭade’s need for independence comes off as blind optimism that things will work out, putting him at odds with his teenage daughter Tessa Yeager, who is the real adult in the family.

He has yet to patent any successful creations, repairs rundown vehicles and machines for ridiculous prices (i.e. His staunch need to be independent and self-made, per his own view of the American Dream, has cost him a lot. Meanwhile, in rural Texas, we meet our new hero protagonist, Cade Yeager, a well-intentioned, but un-lucrative inventor and repairman. Josie quietly asks Attinger if they are going to kill Optimus and Lockdown, which her boss confirms, but once they acquire the relic. If Cemetery Wind help him find it, he will hand over a Cybertronian relic which would benefit mankind, though Lockdown is sceptical of humanity’s readiness for such power. Lockdown is personally hunting Optimus for a client. The deal is simple: Lockdown and Cemetery Wind work together to hunt down Transformers, kill them, but ship their bodies off to an undisclosed location. In a private meeting, Attinger, Lockdown, and Josie speak. When Ratchet refuses to co-operate, Lockdown kills him, removing a piece of his armour as a trophy. Attinger’s “asset” arrives – the Transformer bounty hunter Lockdown, who asks Ratchet where Optimus Prime is hiding. Cemetery Wind, led by CIA Director Harold Attinger, hunt down Ratchet in New Orleans and gun him down, despite his pleas for mercy and being a medic. Though the UN offered them asylum, the Autobots vanished whilst in Mexico City.

Years have passed since the defeat of the Decepticons, but the Autobots’ own damaged rep led to them become illegal immigrants. Hardened by grief and hate, she now hunts Transformers, regardless of faction, with cold contempt. Josie blacks out, and wakes up to find her daughter has died, and the Autobots haven’t come to save her.Ĭut to several years later, specifically 1996, where Josie has become a grounded black ops agent for a rogue CIA squad called “Cemetery Wind”. The arrival of Cybertron causes the town’s gravity to go out of whack, making Josie’s car to float into the air, before crashing to the ground. From her point of view, the Transformers, regardless of faction, are nightmarish death machines. Josie and her daughter Dulcy are caught in the battle in Jasper, Nevada, attempting to flee town, but find Transformers at every turn. Fans may recognise her name from the Marvel Comics as the supervillain Circuit Breaker. The film begins in 1987 during the Battle for Cybertron, from the point of view of a new human character named Josie Beller. Anyway, without further ado, let’s get into the reimagining of Transformers: Age of Extinction. I might retroactively make Bumblebee canon to this reimagining, but that would alter the timeline, since my rewrite for Transformers 1 took place in 1984. Since I finished rewriting Dark of the Moon, Bumblebee came out, was amazing, and officially rebooted the Transformers film franchise. I’ve previously rewritten the preceding three films, and made some major changes, including the roster of Autobots and Decepticons, emphasizing more on the mythology, and making the focus balance out between the Transformers and the humans. There isn’t really much to change here, but Age of Extinction still needs a rewrite. The film was also ridiculously long, dragged out, and had way too much padding going on. It actually had a compelling if drawn out story, improved special effects, the Transformers were given a little more personality, and performances were good.

The fourth live action Transformers movie wasn’t that bad.
