The Autobots prove to be victorious, however the Allspark is still in the hands of Megatron.

Continuity notes
- Battlegrounds is set in an alternate version of the Cyberverse cartoon continuity; although it picks up where "Eruption" left off, it is otherwise largely irreconcilable with the events of that show's second season. A conversation between Arcee and Wheeljack suggests that this game takes place in one of the many alternate universes that the Cyberverse cartoon repeatedly alluded to over the course of its second and third seasons.
