Transformers: Operation Skyfire

Apparently,this was meant to be a spin off film in the Transformers movie franchise set in the World War 2. It was one of the many ideas conceived by Akiba Goldsman and his writers. Matt Holloway himself revealed some things about this movie,saying In our movie Operation Skyfire,we're going to try to answer one of the greatest mysteries of World War 2.

Well historically,there was a mystery which could have been featured as the main plot that they were possibly using and it's the mystery of the ghost plane of Pearl Harbor. What is interesting is that the Autobot in the concept art looks like he could transform into an P-40,exactly the ghost plane found one year after Pearl Harbor. Probably the main villain of this movie was a Decepticon powerful enough to cause trouble for both Cybertron and Earth and if there was an artefact to be hunted,if the Decepticon got it,it could be the end of both planets.

Plot: Possibly during World War 2 that people in the war found a ghost plane but had no idea that they found a Cybertronian and of course it would have been named Skyfire.

Why is it cancelled? Unknown reason why it got cancelled. Probably because of the World War 2 references into a Transformers movie.

Maybe low budget.
