	* Two known builds of Transformers Universe were developed. The "2012" version (which never left closed beta) and the "2014" version which went into Open Beta. The 2012 build used an upgraded version of RuneTek 6<ref>http://www.zybez.net/news/1841/what_we_know_about_transformers_universe/</ref> as their game engine while the 2014 build used Unity as its game engine. Further differences included the 2012 version having a 8v8 mode called "Capture the flag"<ref>http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x14wue0_toasty_videogames</ref> as well as 8v8 Team Death Match.<ref>http://www.dailymotion.com/dm_521dd4cc5c991</ref> Furthermore characters such as Lockbox, Riot, Roadblock and more were never included in the 2014 build. Starter bots for the Autobots in 2012 were Catapult, Meltdown and Frontline (who is now known as Macro) while in the 2014 build starter bots for the Autobots were Overclock, Monsoon and Triage. Many other details about the 2012 build are lost due to the NDA never being dropped.		* Two known builds of Transformers Universe were developed.

	* Two known builds of Transformers Universe were developed. The "2012" version (which never left closed beta) and the "2014" version which went into Open Beta. The 2012 build used an upgraded version of RuneTek 6<ref>http://www.zybez.net/news/1841/what_we_know_about_transformers_universe/</ref> as their game engine while the 2014 build used Unity as ~~it's~~ game engine. Further differences included the 2012 version having a 8v8 mode called "Capture the flag"<ref>http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x14wue0_toasty_videogames</ref> as well as 8v8 Team Death Match.<ref>http://www.dailymotion.com/dm_521dd4cc5c991</ref> Furthermore characters such as Lockbox, Riot, Roadblock and more were never included in the 2014 build. Starter bots for the Autobots in 2012 were Catapult, Meltdown and Frontline (who is now known as Macro) while in the 2014 build starter bots for the Autobots were Overclock, Monsoon and Triage. Many other details about the 2012 build are lost due to the NDA never being dropped.		* Two known builds of Transformers Universe were developed.

	In the Autobot and Decepticon trailers as well as the new tutorials introduced, an additional segment of the plot was revealed: The [[Decepticon]]s have intercepted and shot down the Autobot spaceship ''[[Arclight (ship)\|Arclight]]'' (which was on its way to Earth to refuel due to the Autobots having stocked up vast amounts of energon on Earth during the war on Cybertron), causing the surviving Autobots crash-land on [[Earth]] (mostly the [[United States of America\|United States]]) aboard escape pods. The debris from the ''Arclight'' rained across the North America continent, while the Decepticons' ship, the ''[[Leviathan (starship)\|Leviathan]]'' invaded [[Central City (Earth)\|Central City]] and the Decepticons began attacking to the humans in order to draw out the Autobots and Optimus Prime. This incident prompted the president to order "a national state of emergency and the total evacuation of eleven major cities." Optimus Prime contacted [[General Freeman]], who provided these Autobot refugees with a [[High Grand\|base of operations]]. In return, the Autobots vowed to protect [[human]] civilization from the Decepticon threat.
