Cinque anni dopo i disastrosi eventi che hanno devastato Chicago, trasformandola in un campo di battaglia, la CIA ha segretamente deciso di mettere fine alla presenza dei Transformers sul suolo terrestre. Persino il leader degli Autobot, Optimus Prime, è costretto a nascondersi, almeno finché Cade Yeager, un inventore temerario ma sfortunato, finisce per ritrovarlo accidentalmente.
