	Chicago proved to be the final ~~tipping point in~~ an already strained relationship between humans and Cybertronians. The United States government officially terminated all joint Autobot-human operations, replacing them with [[Harold Attinger]]'s [[Cemetery Wind]], a [[CIA]] unit tasked with hunting down the surviving Decepticons, whilst the Autobots were granted asylum on Earth. In reality, and under the White House's nose, Cemetery Wind hunted Autobot and Decepticon alike, holding both factions responsible for the loss of life in Chicago, forcing the Autobots underground. During the subsequent cleanup and rebuilding effort, Chicago proved to be a lucrative opportunity to salvage discarded alien technology, and several world governments and independent corporations began reverse-engineering Cybertronian tech.		Chicago proved to be the final straw for an already strained relationship between humans and Cybertronians. The United States government officially terminated all joint Autobot-human operations, replacing them with [[Harold Attinger]]'s [[Cemetery Wind]], a [[CIA]] unit tasked with hunting down the surviving Decepticons, whilst the Autobots were granted asylum on Earth.

During the subsequent cleanup and rebuilding effort, Chicago proved to be a lucrative opportunity to salvage discarded alien technology, and several world governments and independent corporations began reverse-engineering Cybertronian tech.

	Five years after the battle, Chicago had returned to its former glory, with a refurbished skyline. Perhaps as a result of easy access to Cybertronian artifacts and [[Living metal\|transformium]], [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated]] built its American division in the city. They were eventually visited by [[Cade Yeager]] and the surviving Autobots, who had hijacked a KSI drone and traced it back to its company of origin. Optimus Prime, angered by the mutilation of his former comrades, ordered an assault on the company, but his team voluntarily fell back after a confrontation with [[Joshua Joyce]], and left the city.
