Premise
Many years after the end of the war between the Autobots and Decepticons, young humans Robby and Mo Malto are struggling to adapt after moving from Philadelphia to the small town of Witwicky, Pennsylvania. When they find a strange object in a cave, it grants them mysterious robotic cyber-sleeves and gives life to Twitch and Thrash—the first ever Transformers to be born on Earth. Bonded to them through their cyber-sleeves, the Maltos adopt the two Terrans into their family. The Autobots, now working with Megatron and the secret human organization G.H.O.S.T. to protect Earth from the remaining rogue Decepticons, reach out to the Maltos and offer the Terrans the chance to be mentored by Bumblebee. With new threats on the horizon, such as the mad scientist Mandroid and the various Decepticons still at large, the Maltos work together to keep each other safe and find their place in the world while learning what it truly means to be a family.
