Cade Yeager, a "robotics expert", buys an old truck and upon examining it, he thinks it's a Transformer. When he powers it up, he discovers it's Optimus Prime. Later, men from the unit show up looking for Optimus. He helps Yeager and his daughter Tessa escape but are pursued by the hunter. They escape and Yeager learns from technology he took from the men that a technology magnate and defense contractor named Joshua Joyce is part of what's going on, so they go to find out what's going on.

Tess, I'm basically your uncle.

Su casa es mi casa.

And we're going to lose the casa.

Dad!

Coming!

Are you working with lasers?

If so, I'm not coming in.

You guys have never seen

a truck like this before.

Get in here. Lock that door.

It doesn't have a lock.

Look! Look at the hole in the radiator.

Look at the size of it.

Something blew a hole in it!

Yeah, so?

It's not normal steel.

The shrapnel in the engine,

it ripped all the connections apart.

And watch.

And this took some Cade genius.

You are gonna love this.

When I hook this back

to a working battery...

Calling all...

Calling all Autobots.

Yeah.

I don't think it's a truck at all.

I think we just found a Transformer.

Tran...

- Evacuate!

- Wait! Guys!

Dad, are you out of your mind?

You need to get that thing out of here.

You don't have to worry. I've been

in there working all night. I'm fine.

You know what?

That's not a truck, okay? You're right.

It's an alien killing machine.

- Dude. It's DOA.

- Jesus.

It's been recalled, totaled, done.

So, listen,

there's a number that you call.

You're supposed to call the government.

It's the American thing to do.

- Here we go.

- You're supposed to call,

and if it ends up being alien,

then you win $25,000.

You don't win money.

And if you can capture it live...

Like tag it like a wild wildebeest,

then you get $100,000.

- Dad, we're making the call.

- I heard that.

I've seen the commercial. They don't

say that. That's not a guarantee.

You think Greg would lie to me?

Look, if that's a Transformer there

from the Battle of Chicago,

I need to know how it works.

I'm an inventor.

This could be a game changer for me!

If I can apply that technology

to my inventions,

we'd never have to

worry about money again.

I've heard that before.

Twenty-five grand!

It pays for my college.

It pays for the house.

Besides, you used my money

to buy the truck, right?

So technically, that's my truck.

Don't you think?

You also signed a contract

regarding all research lab I.P.

Research lab? It's a barn, dude.

You signed it and now you're competing.

Any idea of yours is mine.

Any thought you have, I own it,

so basically, I own you.

I don't think you can own someone.

That was, like, a while ago,

even in Texas.

All right. Bring the torch over

and help me with the pulley arm.

I think the shrapnel

took out its power core.

And, Tessa, you see this?

Would an alien killing machine

let me do that?

Look, I'll make the call.

We'll get the money.

Just first let me see if I'm right.

You want to hide in the house?

Go ahead.

Okay.

Let's go. Pulley arm.

I can't believe him!

What is that? Looks like a missile.

It is! Whoa!

Dad!

There's a missile in the family room!

Holy...

I'll kill you!

No! No!

Dad, there's a missile in...

I'll kill you! Stay back!

- No. Don't shoot. Don't shoot!

- Call 911! Run!

- Lucas!

- Stop!

Lucas? Don't move, just calm down.

Easy, human.

Stay there. He's not going to hurt us.

Weapons systems damaged.

A missile hit your engine.

And we took it out of you.

You're hurt really bad.

I'm just trying to help you.

You're in my home now.

I'm an engineer.

My name is Cade Yeager.

Cade, I am in your debt.

My name is Optimus Prime.

My Autobots.

They're in danger.

I need to go. I need to go now.

How far you think you're gonna get?

Tessa, come here. He needs our help.

What happened to you?

An ambush. A trap. Set by humans.

I escaped and took this form.

But you're on our side.

Why would humans hurt you?

They were not alone.

- My Autobots can repair me.

- Yeah.

If you can reach 'em.

What about me?

I warn you, Mr. Attinger of Earth,

an alliance is a contract, and contracts,

like humans,

expire.

On this planet, we have a saying.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

I also have a saying.

"I don't care."

So what happened in Mexico City?

I thought you had him.

Three direct hits. A mortal wound.

Then your men allowed him to escape.

You promised me human intelligence.

Or is there such a thing?

You know, you've still never told me.

Why do you want him?

Who are you working for?

Every galaxy I've traveled,

all you species are the same.

You all think

you're the center of the universe.

You have no idea.

Go to the hardware store

and you get the list.

The whole list.

What, you're going to try and fix him?

He's not a model train set, Cade.

No, that's right. He's important.

Yeah, but important to who?

You can't keep an alien

locked up in your barn.

What are you gonna do, play with him?

- Will you calm down?

- I'm trying to,

but I just got hit in the head

with a ten-foot cannon!

If he eats you, I get the GTO.

Not a word to anybody.

Do you hear me?

Not a single word.

Nobody.

I think we have a lock

on a high-value target.

Special Operations group is ready.

What do you got?

Sir, Special Ops just got a call

from Paris, Texas.

Hard match on the truck

seen leaving Mexico City.

Son of a b*tch. Let's go get him.

Took a hell of a hit, you know.

The missile just missed

your power source.

We call it a Spark.

It contains our life force

and our memories.

Yeah, we call it a soul.

Scramble Cemetery Wind.

Thank you for your efforts,

ladies and gentlemen.

This room is going dark.

The exit is on your left.

- I'll take it from here.

- Okay, let's go.

I'm with Cemetery Wind.

We're on the move.

Repeat, on the move.

Cade.

Why are you willing to help me?

I guess maybe because you trust me to.

I'm back!

Took you long enough!

My head hurts. I had to go to the doctor.

I got a welt on my head

that makes me look

like a fricking Star Trek character.

Whatever.

Look! Look!

We're on property.

Viper 15 overhead. Angels 1.

Dad!

Mr. Yeager, my name's James Savoy.

I'm a federal agent.

My men and I are trying to track down

an abandoned truck.

It's a nice spread you got here.

Too bad she's for sale.

Well, thanks. She's not.

That the truck you mean?

Afraid not.

You know, Mr. Yeager,

we received a call from someone

concerned about this truck.

No.

That wasn't you?

Only thing I'm concerned about

is you being on my property

without permission.

You know, we got a rule about people

messing with people from Texas.

And I don't know what truck

you're talking about.

The kind that cost American lives.

Search the property!

What do you mean,

"Search the property"?

You don't have a warrant.

My face is my warrant.

Wait. But if you guys do find a truck,

we get a reward, right?

Viper 15 holding, point alpha.

Charlie team, hold tight.

Lock it down.

- Open, open, open.

- Short wall. Short wall.

Five in. Five in.

Intruder alert!

Back away from the premises.

- What the hell is that?

- Just some dumb inventor.

Clear.

Clear.

Clear right.

Clear.

360. 720. Heads on a swivel.

Let's go. There's nothing here.

There's no signs. We got nothing.

Sir, we have a live armed missile

in the trash.

Live? I carried that to the trash!
