The story takes place four years after the invasion in Chicago in the movie prior. The U.S. government has declared all of Autobots to be fugitives, and begins to hunt down and exterminate all remainingTransformers to prevent future conflicts with the machines. Mark Wahlberg stars as Cade Yeager, a robotics inventor who realizes his newly purchased truck is actually a damaged Optimus Prime.
