	Over a million years ago, [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] was destroyed by war and the [[AllSpark]] was launched into space, with Megatron in pursuit. Its course was altered to [[Earth]]. In 1897, on an Arctic expedition, Captain Archibald Witwicky falls through the ice and discovers a frozen Megatron. When the captain chips at the ice covering Megatron's face, light from Megatron's eyes blinds Witwicky, but burns a map of the All Spark into his glasses.

When the captain chips at the ice covering Megatron's face, light from Megatron's eyes blinds Witwicky, but burns a map of the All Spark into his glasses.

	One hundred ten years later in [[Qatar]], an unidentified helicopter previously thought shot down is forced to land at a military base. The helicopter is actually the [[Decepticon]] Blackout, who transforms and delivers a devastating pulse wave to the base before attempting to access files on [[Megatron (Movie)\|Project Iceman]]. When the military cut the line and attack, Blackout deploys Scorponok into the sand, who follows a team that escapes while Blackout destroys the base. The team follows power lines to a village, but power is cut when one of the poles is sucked into the sand. Soldier Donnelly notices spikes poking through the sand and fires upon them, but they quickly disappear and Scorponok impales him from behind.

	In [[Tranquility]], U.S.A., Sam Witwicky fruitlessly attempts to sell his great grandfather's property on [[ePay]] before his father takes him out to buy a car. Salesman [[Bobby Bolivia]] sees a Camaro that he didn't know was on the lot which beeps at Sam. He sells it to the Witwickys for four grand and Sam drives off. Later that evening he offers Mikaela a ride home after she fights with her boyfriend. The Camaro stalls and Mikaela fixes the distributor cap. At night, Sam's car drives off and he gives chase on a bicycle, while informing the police on his cell phone. He sees the car transform into Bumblebee and shine an [[Autobot]] beacon into the sky. Bumblebee saves Sam from some attack dogs and honks at Sam, who runs away. The police arrive and arrest Sam, mistaking him for the thief. At the police station, Sam explains what he saw to a disbelieving officer before his father takes him home.

	Aboard Air Force One, flying over Virginia, a radio boom box transforms into Frenzy and attempts to access files and plants a virus. When discovered and attacked, he deploys [[shuriken]] which kill several agents and converts back into the boom box to avoid detection. After landing, Frenzy sneaks off and rendezvous with Barricade in police car mode. He reveals information that matches Captain Witwicky to Sam's ePay transaction and Barricade downloads Sam's address.

	Over a million years ago, [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] was destroyed by war and the [[AllSpark ~~(Movie)\|All Spark~~]] was launched into space, with Megatron in pursuit. Its course was altered to [[Earth]]. In 1897, on an Arctic expedition, Captain Archibald Witwicky falls through the ice and discovers a frozen Megatron.

	One hundred ten years later in [[Qatar]], an unidentified helicopter previously thought shot down is forced to land at a military base. The helicopter is actually the [[Decepticon]] Blackout, who transforms and delivers a devastating pulse wave to the base before attempting to access files on [[Megatron (Movie)\|Project Iceman]]. When the military cut the line and attack, Blackout deploys Scorponok into the sand, who follows a team that escapes while Blackout destroys the base. The team follows power lines to a village, but power is cut when one of the poles is sucked into the sand. Soldier Donnelly notices spikes poking through the sand and fires upon them, but they quickly disappear and Scorponok impales him from behind.
