The science-fiction/action feature is a sequel to 2007's "Transformers", noted as the first live action 'Transformers' film, adapting the Hasbro toy line.
Directed by Michael Bay and produced by Steven Spielberg, actor Shia LaBeouf reprises his role of 'Sam Witwicky', a human caught in the war between the 'Autobots' and 'Decepticons'.

Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura explained the film will start before the pyramids were built, tying the 'Transformers' to the beginning of civilization, implying that "all our heroes end up here because of the Decepticons' master plan."
Egyptian hieroglyphs resembling helicopters and other present day vehicles in real life will also be explained in the film as being depictions of ancient 'Cybertronians' who visited Earth...
