Thanks to the Michigan Film Office, the plot synopsis for Michael Bay's "Transformers 4" was unveiled on Wednesday.
The story details -- involving "an ancient, powerful Transformer menace" and a group of scientists trying to harness the technological power from previous transforming aliens -- were slipped when announcing that the Paramount production was approved for a tax incentive to film in Detroit. A Michigan Film Office press release reads:
"As humanity picks up the pieces, following the conclusion of 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon,' Autobots and Decepticons have all but vanished from the face of the planet. However, a group of powerful, ingenious businessman and scientists attempt to learn from past Transformer incursions and push the boundaries of technology beyond what they can control – all while an ancient, powerful Transformer menace sets Earth in his crosshairs. The epic adventure and battle between good and evil, freedom and enslavement ensues."
