Transformers: War For Cybertron (Xbox 360/PS3)

After learning that the core was corrupted, and Cybertron could no longer sustain life, Optimus Prime ordered the evacuation of Cybertron by all Autobots. Several galactic transports were seen taking off into space, but Trypticon, in his cannon mode, began to destroy the vessels. Optimus ordered Silverbolt and his Aerialbots to take the gun offline. The Autobots kept the rest of their transports grounded until the threat was destroyed. After Trypticon was thought defeated, the rest of the galactic transports safely took off from the planet. Optimus Prime then announced to the remaining Autobots that he had commissioned a new galactic transport for them, an Ark, for their evacuation and journey through the stars.
