Biography[]
Early Life[]
Not much is known about the TRF Group Leader, but it appears he seems to be assigned as one of the high ranking officers of the Transformers Reaction Force, that was bent on capturing every single Transformer regardless of faction. Since he is the head officer of one of the TRF groups, he may have assigned Santos as field leader, and have been aware of Cade Yeager's sympathizing with Autobots. As a result, he set up a warrant for his arrest.
Transformers: The Last Knight[]
The TRF Group Leader was first shown in a briefing ordering his officials to track down the Autobot Bumblebee during Edmund Burton's opening monologue on how the TRF was formed as Transformers were declared illegal by world governments. He was later shown at a base monitoring Commander Santos and his team trying to identify if Canopy is "attacking" Izabella and the children, to the point that he believes he is a Decepticon and ordered an airstrike on the robot, killing him.
The TRF Group Leader was later shown at a briefing with Santos, William Lennox, and the rest of the TRF operatives during their mission to use Megatron and his crew to find Cade Yeager, to the point that Lennox told him that they've already been given Yeager's location. He is never seen afterwards, though it could be implied after humanity joined with Cade and the Autobots once more to save Earth from having its life force sucked from Quintessa, it can be implied he may have been relieved and fired of duty for hunting down the Autobots and helping group Decepticons hunt down Cade Yeager, as it was mentioned by Edmund Burton that only Viviane Wembly can use the staff to stop Cybertron's merger with Earth and that they are unaware of the consequences the planet would suffer if all Autobots were destroyed.
Trivia[]
- Since he is one of the TRF leaders, he seems to be a high ranking official, possibly a Colonel or a General since Santos is mostly a field commander.
- The TRF Group Leader only has a few minutes of screentime and a few lines since Santos mostly is involved throughout the film.
