The Decepticons have unleashed an army on Earth! Can the Autobots fight them off?
Synopsis
[edit]
Ever since having to abandon their home planet of Cybertron, the Autobots have come to Earth, where they help the humans fight against the Decepticons. An Autobot ship is discovered on the Moon, and Optimus's old friend, Sentinel Prime joins their roster. Optimus introduces him to his human allies, and Sentinel explains to Sam and Lennox that he was on a secret mission to transport Spacebridge technology, capable of transporting Autobots to a safe haven. Lennox suggests that the technology could also be used to transport weapons or soldiers, and Sentinel is taken aback by the small organic's audacity to argue with him.
An alarm then sounds, warning of approaching Decepticons. But Sentinel Prime turns on the Autobots, snatches the pillars and leaves to join the Decepticons. Sentinel creates a space bridge near the Washington Monument, and both factions face off near the portal. The Decepticon forces, waiting on the Moon see the portal open before them, and prepare to join the fray. When Optimus asks why Sentinel chose to betray them, the elder Autobot argues that Cybertronians are the superior life forms, but are only regarded as "machines" by the humans. Optimus and his troops prepare themselves to face off against their enemies; this will be their greatest battle yet!

Notes
[edit]
- Wheeljack has a modified head design, which omits the "mad-scientist" hair.
- Sideswipe is said to have arrived on Earth with Optimus, Bumblebee, Ratchet and Ironhide five years ago.
- Instead of creating a portal to Cybertron, the space bridge is only used to provide an army of THOUSANDS of Decepticons (who were hiding on the moon for decades!) a quick entry to the battlefront.
