This is how I would outline a Transformers 3 if I were to direct itTransformers 3 Outline
1. Unicron/Primus backstory detailing the birth of Cybertron and the Transformers. The original twelve are created to help battle Unicron. Eventually after Unicron has been defeated and imprisoned, Primus transforms into Cybertron itself and creates a race of sentient machines, the transformers. They are placed into two classes, workers (autobots) and soldiers (decepticons) and soon a war erupts between the two factions.
2. Optimus Prime’s beacon eventually reaches the receptors of Autobots and Decepticons alike and they crash upon the Earth and begin to wage war. This wave of Transformers consist of autobots Hot Rod, Prowl, Grimlock, Metroplex, Omega Supreme, Ultra Magnus and Aelita One and decepticons Shockwave, Trypticon, Ramjet, Thrust and Sixshot. Initially the autobots were being defeated until Metroplex arrives and evens the battle. Optimus and his team of Autobots along with Depth Charge arrive and in the ensuing chaos Skids, Mudflap and Sideswipe are all destroyed. Shockwave cuts his loses and calls for a tactical retreat.
3. Many lives are lost and the events are broadcast by newstations. Among the numbers are Sam’s parents. Public opinion turns against the Autobots and they are forced to either engage in war with the Earth or return to space. They choose the later. Sam says his final goodbyes to the beings he has come to view as family and friend alike. Sam gives Bumblebee the last remaining piece of the all spark as a memento.
4. Shockwave and his troop of Decepticons travel to the Decepticon base and overthrow the rotting Megatron. The treacherous Starscream is killed, his face melted by Shockwave’s cannon. The remaining decepticons swear servitude to Shockwave. As the dying Megatron floats through the darkest depths of space he has a fateful encounter with the imprisoned Unicron. He smashes into the sealed and resting destroyer and wakes him. Unicron then turns the ravaged Megatron into his herald, the powerful Galvatron.
5. Leadership of the Autobots is challenged by Grimlock, commander of the Dinobots. Feeling that Optimus is too passive, the war veterans engage in a fierce fight and the autobots are torn between their respect for Optimus and the quick end to the war that Grimlock represents. Optimus emerges victorious and he names Rodimus his new 2nd in command.
6. Galvatron informs Unicron of a bountiful planet, defenseless, just waiting to be consumed…the Earth. As Unicron makes his way to the Earth, Galvatron battles the decepticons and defeats them. Shockwave attempts to gain the aid of Optimus Prime by joining forces. Upon witnessing the passing Unicron consume Jupiter and Mars and nearly being taken offline by Galvatron Optimus concedes and the two warring forces unite. They prepare for the final battle and warn the nations of the world the impending doom that lies ahead should they fail.
7. Every transformer is summoned to the Moon where a first and last line of dense is made. Human militaries the world over launch nuclear missiles that do little to impede the quickly closing destroyer. Generals Epps and Lennox coordinate the attack. On cybertron, Optimus reads the historical records of their planet and learns that Cybertron was once a transformer itself. On the moon as the united Transformers are ravaged by Unicron and Galvatron and the other heralds. Meanwhile on Cybertron, Bumblebee places the last remaining piece of the allspark inside the core of cybertron. Cybertron then reconstructs into Primus, creator of all transformers and he upgrades Optimus. They quickly leave for the moon.
8. Arriving Primus and Unicron immediately do battle with all other transformers attacking Unicron’s body. Optimus and Galvatron do battle across Unicron. Optimus is deafeating Galvatron when Galvatron surrenders. Deceptively, Galvatron blasts a hole into Optimus centimeters from his spark to which Optimus reacts by grabbing Megatron and ripping him in two. As Megatron halves explode in Optimus’ hands, he falls to his knees and unto his side. Unicron is soon defeated and floats lifelessly in space.
9. The transformers rush to Optimus’ aid and as he breathes his last breath, he passes the matrix of leadership that rests in his remaining spark onto Hot Rod now named Rodimus Prime. Bumblebee begs that Primus restore Optimus’ spark, to which Optimus says no and that he desires rest. Unicron is hurled into the sun, where his remains disintegrate. Optimus is taken into the core of Cybertron where he rests and his spark is slowly reassembled for a day he should need to be awakened.
10. The Transformers end their century’s old war and repair the destroyed cybertron and Primus again does dormant and sleeps. Many transformers stay behind on Earth to rebuild cities they have destroyed and Rodimus leads them in accordance with Optimus’ past actions.
