It’s almost like the rest of Michael Bay‘s "Transformers: The Last Knight" was just a screeching, screaming preamble for this truly WTF-worthy post-credits scene. In it, a bunch of science and/or military guys are investigating one of the "horns" that had recently been discovered around the world (this one is in a desert). Keep in mind that, earlier in the movie, it was revealed that Earth is actually a giant, ancient Transformer. So. Guess they’ll have to rewrite the history books.
Anyway, these science and/or military guys are working away when a mysterious woman shows up. She starts speaking to the men and then — a glimmer reveals something altogether Transform-y underneath her human exterior. The implication (and I only gathered this after reading several articles on the subject) is that she is actually Quintessa, the "Prime of Life" and creator of the Transformers, who earlier in the movie had sent Optimus Prime on a quest to kill his fellow Transformers (or something – it gets fuzzy). So, she survived the epic space battle, and Bumblebee’s death blow, and then disguised herself as a comely young woman to strut around our planet, making eyes at science and/or military guys. Obviously this gets points deducted for shamelessly extending an already threadbare franchise (as the box office receipts from "The Last Knight" have shown) and for being totally incomprehensible.
