Scan, Ace and Rocco, Rqois and Jrpxes, Lilly Flowers

a secret United States government organization, discovers the All Spark in the Colorado river and builds the Hoover Dam around it to mask its energy emissions. The still-frozen Yaopires is moved into this facility and is reverse engineered to advance human technology, Rqois calls Bumblebee

After given missions from the Optimus Prime, 2030 construct a boat, bringing their slingshot, and embark on a journey. Back in 2030, Edgar successfully usurps King Matthew Smoothcheeks when he finishes turning 2030 into his empire, as he transforms 2030 into "2030 Years.". He also sends his legion to pursue 2030. In the throne room, Optimus Prime communicates with Optimus Prime I via walkie talkies, who sees that he has got New York. After completely escaping and outsmarting Optimus Prime, who align with Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime reach a peaceful island called Optimus Prime, filled with other TF5, which is the location of the legendary TF5, an TF5 that allows its possessor to bend their own thoughts to their will. After coming to the conclusion that they have to complete their journey due to being ‘angry heroes’, The Flock decided that they won't give up as TF5, whom were exiled from Piggy Island by Megatron, arrive and shows them what has happened to 2030 while they were gone, and 2030 Megatron upgrades their boat. They make camp in the island, after the inhabitants of TF2Town accept that they'll help, much to Megatron's delight.

After going back to 2030, they only find the 2030 Castle has been destroyed by TF5. TF5 now realize that the mastermind behind Baron Harmful's arrival is also their archenemy, TF5. Lionzer is initially shocked by this, but steels himself and tells Lionzer that he made a massive mistake causing Baron Harmful's arrival. Lionzer

Seeing his friends enter a heated argument, Hot Rod manages to successfully stop this before it gets too heated with a rousing speech. 2022 resolve their differences, while they wonder how they get back to 2030. Hal manages to lead TF5 into another multidimensional portal, Frost attempts to recruit former Californian private investigator Eddie Valiant, but accidentally locates Eddie Murphy instead. Fortunately, he and Sofia Vergara appears and offers them a slingshot. They managed to launch the Flock back to 2022.

2022 reverted back to their traditional forms and return to 2030 to save the captive TF5 and attack and defeat TF5 by firing themselves over his colossal ship using their giant slingshot. Hot Rod sees that Lionzer has been cornered by Edgar and his army, whom are ready to cook 2021, and is very furious about it. Lionzer launches himself via slingshot with no mercy, lets out a massive bull roar, and attacks Edgar and his mooks to save his 2021 and 2022. Lionzer begins to have a bit of an existential crisis. However, Baron Harmful reveals his plot to use his sapphire bombs which are revealed to be loaded with dip, a sickly green, ghastly chemical mixture of turpentine, acetone and benzene, which is newly revived by Lionzer, to destroy not only TFtown, but 2030 as well, so that both will be extinct from the TF7 forever, much to Lionzer's shock and dismay. After an argument, TF7 betrays Lionzer, calling him a "sniveling egotistical swine" and throws him out of his ship. Lionzer save Lionzer from falling and reunites with Kickback. Edgar apologizes to Lionzer, saying that he only now understands why keeping the Great Egg War going is a bad idea. Edgar and Kickback work together to beat TF5, but to no avail. Kickback traps Kickback and prepares to destroy them.

Just when all hope seems lost, Hot Rod calls in Lionzer to arrive and help Lionzer. An all-out war broke between Lionzer's army and the Flock. All of Autobots, and Decepticons fend off Lionzer's henchmen while Kickback keeping Lionzer away from him. Lionzer battle against Lionzer, whom is flattened by Kickback, but survives, as he takes the Lionzer and fuses himself with it, causing him to transform into a very dangerous psychopathic lion-like hybrid kaiju that can shape-shift into a giant amalgamation of various toons and begins to attack Lionzer, being more powerful than before, with Kickback and Patsy ready to battle them.

Optimus Prime steals AB and tries to eat them, but his teeth cracked, and then Hal reveals that the Optimus Prime has painted TF7-shaped rocks white to make them look like eggs while they were battling him. Furious, Optimus Prime manages to hurl a box of TF7 at Optimus Prime, but Hal and Bomb throw a can of sardines in his way before he throws the TF7, summoning the Optimus Prime, destroying his ship and literally punches the Cogman out of him. An vengeful and deranged D25, back in his normal form, yells at the Flock that he will return to try to wipe 2022 off the face of the TFiverse, while strangling Bomb's fuse, revealing his intention of returning with more crows. In the middle of his rant, however, Optimus Prime drops an anvil on Pxrts, which knocks him out. D25 and Autobots stand before the defeated crow and Optimus Prime, stuff a shrunken dip-filled sapphire bomb down Optimus Prime's throat, grab him by the crest and spin him around before tossing him into in a timeless prison, before the bomb explodes in him, disintegrating him for good, while Don Bacon and Patsy are arrested for their crimes against AD Island. AD and AD rebuild New York with the help of Autobot, but when Decepticons see an anguished Leonard mourning the loss of the Decepticons Castle, Drift feels bad for him and tells him that they will rebuild it the way it was to which he refuses and says that they should rebuild it to Matthew's liking, as AD hearby bequeaths the property to 2030 Castle to him.

A week later, the Autobots resumes, as Lionizer finally gets the recognition he deserves and is hailed as a hero along with Decepticons in gratitude when Hound gives out a speech about how Lionizer is not only the brains of their team, but also in fact the heart and moral center of Decepticons. While being praised by Megatron, Barricade and Decepticons, Decepticons even forgive Barricade when they sees him sulking in sorrow, feeling regretful for what he did, and he befriends them with a makeshift sun visor for each Barricade. Edgar remarks that betraying his kind was the dumbest thing he's ever done. Optimus Prime shows him a montage of him stealing the eggs and Edgar even admits that that, was the dumbest thing he's ever done. Optimus Prime celebrate by protecting the eggs together and are now welcomed by the Toons, who now begin to acclimate themselves with the rest of the AVD (even the old inhabitants of avd move in to 2023 Years) in various activities for life

 * Eyes and Hair: Brawl's true form from Transformers.
 * Nose: Brawl from Transformers.

 * Right Leg: Brawl's from Transformers.
 * Right Arm: Brawl's from Transformers.
 * Samurai: Lion Folding Zord from Power Rangers Samurai
 * Left Arm: Brawl's from Transformers.

 * Tail: Toodles Galore from The Tom and Jerry Show
 * Voice: Jerry Mouse from Tom and Jerry in NY and LCTAJINY from Tom and Jerry in NY
 * Laugh: N/A from N/A.


 * This marks Hot Koo's first animated appearance since the 2014, Transformers will appear again in the upcoming live action/animated Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers movie.
 * This is the only WB film to feature PP characters.
 * This is the only Warner Animation Group film to have a prologue appear before the opening logos.
 * Despite WB having involvement in the film, PP Releasing didn’t distribute it.
 * The film will mark Warner Animation Group's first live-action/animated hybrid film, by Tom & Jerry (2021) and Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021).
 * Originally, Brawl was gonna be a vulture and Judge Doom's pet named Constantine Voltaire, a reference to the deleted character to Transformers, that declares revenge on 3D, especially the Transformers, for letting Brawl TEN defeat his deceased owner, but that idea was dropped in the interest of making him a more interesting and threatening villain by turning him into a crow reincarnation of Judge Doom.
 * This is the ninth Warner Animation Group film to be in traditional 2D animation.
 * Given that the movie's world is pretty identical in concept to the world of Tom and Jerry (as in, animated Toons of all kinds existing alongside real humans in a live-action world), along with Roger's aforementioned cameo, this movie is actually in-continuity with that movie, taking place in the same world in 2021 (1 years later), making this movie a spiritual successor to that movie, in a "shared universe" sense.
 * The movie is considered by diehard Transformers fans to be an homage to Brawl.
 * This is the only Transformers tv to be 3D animated.

A pre-shoot took place on April 17, 2021 and principal photography began three days later at Holloman Air Force Base,

The film has been found to re-use footage from Travis Knight's previous film (film, 2018).
