Santos

Santos is a T.R.F.-aligned human from The Last Knight portion of the movie continuity family.

The fall of Cemetery Wind didn't automatically fix everything for the Autobots. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the form of Santos, the field commander of the T.R.F. While he lacks the disregard for innocent lives that defined the TRF's predecessors, Santos nevertheless carries the sentiment that all Transformers are threats that need to be destroyed. He's seen too many good souls killed in the Transformers' battles on Earth, and will stop at nothing to prevent further loss of life. It's this desire to protect the innocent that suggests there's a glimmer of hope for Santos to see the light, but for now, he meets every Transformer he finds with a weapon.

Santos led the TRF on a mission to Chicago when drones detected Transformers there. He encountered Cade Yeager and Bumblebee, but was prevented from apprehending them by three factors: Bumblebee went on a reassembling spree and injured many of his men, William Lennox encouraged him to stand down, and Hound arrived and threatened them with his Gatling gun. Santos had to retreat for the day. He later followed Megatron's Decepticon team into another mission to Cade Yeager's junkyard and pursued the Autobots when they beat it out of there. His TRF forces surrounded the abandoned town Cade was using as refuge. He controlled a fleet of drones which Cade had a heck of a time avoiding, but was forced into another retreat when the mother drone was destroyed by Cade. He then led a squad of TRF troops and pursued the HMS Alliance, which was being captained by Cade and Viviane Wembly. Arriving at the ancient Cybertronian ship, Santos's submarine was forced to use a narrow, perilous tube for entry after the gate closed behind Cade. He managed to make it in and engaged a knight who threatened Cade and Viviane. He then tried to convince Viviane to hand over the Staff of Merlin, only for her to turn the tables on them when she revealed she was the only one who could use it. Santos had to stand down. He rendezvoused with the rest of the TRF when the ship broke the ocean surface and was provided with Ospreys to reach the ignition chamber. He boarded the same plane as Lennox, Cade, and Viviane (and unknowingly Izabella and Sqweeks) and had a talk with Cade. Realizing that his belief about all Cybertronians being enemies was wrong, Santos and his troops removed the TRF badges from their uniforms and threw them to the floor. The Last Knight

Notes

• The film never goes into detail on Santos's background; a character profile released on 24 May 2017 by the official Paramount Transformers Facebook page describes Santos as moving from Sao Paolo, Brazil to Phoenix, USA as a young child, explaining why the character has a U.S. accent but marks his uniform with a Brazilian flag.
