When Shawn Berger lost his bid for mayor of Central City, he donated a solar energy facility as a gift to the city, presumably via his company. However, it was a trap designed to lure the Decepticons into a confrontation with his personal army. The trick worked, but the battle went poorly for Berger's troops. He found himself making a deal with Megatron: In return for the power and glory Berger craved, Berger would use the resources of his company to "clear the Decepticons' name." Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1
So Berger had a film crew monitor an oil field where Megatron staged a mock "Autobot raid" that was thwarted by Seekers. Berger, unaware that it was a sham, later broadcast the footage on his TV station, along with some other anti-Autobot videos the Decepticons had filmed themselves. The public ate it up, and it led to the trial and banishment of the Autobots from Earth and the acceptance of the Decepticons as heroes.
To speed the Autobots' departure, Berger donated a spaceship. While the idea of such a thing is becoming less far-fetched every day, the enormous and suspiciously Transformer-scaled craft was likely Megatron's contribution. It was awfully purple.
At any rate, the ship would plummet into the sun anyway. And Berger's army would desert him when the Decepticons inevitably revealed their true evil and enslaved Central City. And, after the Autobots returned and routed the 'Cons, Prime declared that Berger would "face justice" (meaning a trial much like the 'Bots had gotten, apparently). The fate of Berger, Inc., after all of that is unknown. Megatron's Master Plan, Part 2
