Nixon, and Buzz Aldrin, the latter figure making an appearance as himself to help explain the conspiracy. With that time jump comes a new protagonist.
Once the Autobot leader awakens, he and the three humans reunite with the few remaining Autobots to face a new foe. This battle eventually involves the Dinobots and concludes with Prime heading off into space to challenge his creators.
Even with so many new characters and storylines to juggle, Age of Extinction still makes time for an extended prologue set deep in the past. This time around, viewers are lurched millions of years into prehistory to show that The Creators, the aliens responsible for making the Transformers, were also the ones who wiped out the dinosaurs. After a bonkers prologue establishing how the Transformers were essential allies to King Arthur, Transformers: The Last Knight flashes forward to an era set relatively close to the present and set an unspecified amount of time after Transformers: Age of Extinction.
Yeager is now helping Autobot refugees in his junkyard while Optimus Prime, lost in space on a hunt for his creators, is captured by the nefarious Quintessa Gemma Chan and turned evil. Soon, Prime and Yeagar are competing in a race against time to secure an ancient sword, which Prime intends to use to revive Cybertron, destroying Earth in the process. While on a quest to save the day, Yeager and new love interest Vivian Wembley Laura Haddock discover an organization led by Sir Edmund Burton Anthony Hopkins dedicated to protecting the secret that Transformers were involved in every significant event in human history.
Though we are told that the shapeshifting robots were involved in everything from the Underground Railroad to the life of William Shakespeare, the only instance of this phenomenon the audiences get to see is a brief flashback depicting Bumblebee fighting alongside Allied forces in World War II. The live-action Transformers movies jump all over time to flesh out their ludicrously dense lore, but the events are more or less a continuous narrative.

The other option for viewing the Transformers films is to watch them in the order in which they were released. With the obvious exception of Bumblebee, this is relatively straightforward. Each film follows the last, with LaBeouf starring in the first three films and Whalberg being introduced in the latter two.
So starting with Bumblebee may mean for some that they start the series at its high point with the level of quality dropping over the many of the sequels. The counter-argument to this is that the series has made a staggering amount of money, and with four sequels, there is clearly a target audience that these films cater to, who will keep coming back for more rounds of Decepticons and Autobots fighting it out.
While not as exhausting as some other franchises, these are clearly the best options for watching the Transformers films in order. It does look like the franchise is setting itself up for several timelines co-existing at once, so it is worth noting the options in which to view the franchise as the timeline gets more complex over the coming years.
