Timeline makes no sense


Transformers 1: They came here in 2007
Transformers 5: Actually they've been around since Arthurian times and Bumblebee fought in WWII.
Bumblebee: Actually Bumblebee showed up in the '80s.

Pick a timeline!

Even the first Transformers in 2007 showed that Megatron landed in the 1800's looking for the Allspark that was already on Earth.

This movie ignores Bays movies with the exception of a couple of homages, its made clear in this movie that in 1987, it is the first time Bumblebee or any Transformer has been to Earth.

They only timeframe problem that bugs me is they made a BIG deal about Bumblebee's secret history in the last Transformers film. That's a pretty bold faced retcon to swallow. I'm real curious to see if that's addressed at all.
