Transformers: The Last Knight: 20 WTF Moments
15. The Robot Suicide Squad Subplot
One of the most random and ridiculous subplots in the movie involves Megatron cutting a deal with the TRF task force, requesting the release of several of his Decepticon pals in order to hunt down Cade for the humans.
What follows is a bizarre Suicide Squad-esque sequence where Megatron's pals Onslaught, Mohawk, Nitro, and Dreadbot are quickly introduced, with on-screen titles to make it feel even more similar to DC's hit comic book film.
The bots, several of them peculiar racist stereotypes, are then largely done away with in a matter of minutes, making their inclusion and this whole aside feel woefully pointless. At least the terrified band of lawyers negotiating with the towering Megatron was pretty funny, though.
