Premise
Many years after the end of the war between the Autobots and Decepticons, humans Robby and Mo Malto are struggling to adapt after moving from Philadelphia to the small town of Witwicky. When they find a strange object in a cave, it grants them mysterious robotic gauntlets and gives life to the Terrans Twitch and Thrash—the first ever Transformers to be born on Earth. Now bonded to them through their gauntlets, the Maltos adopt the two robots into their family, while the Autobots reach out to them and offer the Terrans the chance to be mentored by Bumblebee. Now, as new threats both Decepticon and human arise, the Maltos and the Terrans work together to keep each other safe and find their place in the world while learning what it truly means to be a family.
