Overview

In the final hours of the civil war between the Autobots and Decepticons, the planet Cybertron has been ravaged by endless battle. With dissent forming amongst both factions, their forces growing weaker, and the Autobots are on their last leg. Thus, Megatron reluctantly plans to use the Allspark to reformat all the Autobots on the planet to align with the Decepticons, unifying them as one faction under his rule. Meanwhile, Bumblebee is just trying to survive with help from the Mercenaries, but is forced to join the battle when he learns the location of the Allspark. With the last functional space bridge on Cybertron, it falls to Optimus Prime and his forces to prevent the Allspark's misuse. When the Ark is ready to launch, the Autobots must eject the vessel of life from Cybertron and flee, potentially at the cost of the planet itself.
