Beast Wars: Uprising

Using a stolen Autobot shuttle, Decepticons land on the human colony world of Xin Shanghai. They are ultimately repelled, but not before they cause a massive loss of life in what becomes a breaking point in human/Cybertronian relations.

This momentous period in human evolution becomes known as the Human Singularity. Micro-Aggressions
