Warning: mild SPOILERS for Transformers: Rise of the Beasts are in play. If you haven’t taken this latest ride with Optimus Prime just yet, you’ve been warned.
Seven movies into the Transformers saga, the lore has been pretty well built up to this point. The war between Autobots and Decepticons, and the longing to get back home to their planet Cybertron, has been richly woven into both sides of the timeline, connecting the Michael Bay movies to the current series of period piece throwbacks. But when it came time to leave his own stamp on the canon with Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, director Steven Caple Jr. dug deep and laid down a pretty huge easter egg, and it's something that he thinks die-hard fans will love to no end.
