UNITE OR FALL.

In 1994, three different races of Transformers clash, with a Brooklyn car thief (Anthony Ramos) and a museum intern (Dominique Fishback) caught in the middle.

The seventh Transformers chapter serves as a stand-alone sequel to Bumblebee (2018) that preserves some of the charm from that film, but eventually surrenders to the kind of drawn-out, jittery battles that Michael Bay insisted on in his earlier franchise entries.

Fun for a while, with Peruvian locations. Ends with a cliffhanger that should satisfy only Hasbro employees.
