Plot
Having reached halfway of his objective to destroy the Oscorp resources to prevent Regent's rise to power, Peter Parker / Spider-Man goes back to the Triskelion's dimensional teleporter to get ready for his next target: a crystal powered by energies of the Kree Empire with the power to reanimate technology which landed on the home dimension of Chris Cooper's Arsenal body. Following him and Arsenal are Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel, Cassie Lang / Ant-Girl, Jack Thompson / Speed, Dante Pertuz / Inferno, Amadeus Cho / Brawn, as Carlie Cooper and Hank Pym prepare the portal. Entering the portal, Spider-Man and the team stop by another alternate version of Earth, on which they earn information about "gigantic alien machines descending from the stars". The team hop in Arsenal's Quinjet form and set course to an unknown location where Kree energy is detected. They are spotted by Swoop, a mechanical pteranodon, who alerts one of his leaders, who rushes there in the form of a red and blue truck.

Arsenal lands the team into the beacon, which takes place in an cave in the middle of the forest, and they discover a prototype of the crystal. Just as they are about to destroy it after analyzing it, they are attacked by Insecticons who are guarding the crystal for unknown purposes. They are joined by their followers: Autobot leader Optimus Prime, Autobot scout Bumblebee and Dinobot leader Grimlock, who fend off the Insecticons and destroy the crystal. Recognizing Peter as the son of Richard and Mary Parker, Optimus, Bumblebee and Grimlock take him and his team to the Autobots' base, where they also meet Autobots Arcee, Ratchet, Bulkhead and Dinobots Swoop and Slug as well as their human allies William "Will Bill" Lennox, Izabella Morgan and Special Agt. William Fowler. Ratchet and Fowler explain the Insecticons were guarding the crystal in behalf of the Decepticons (led by Megatron and consisting of Airachnid, Barricade, Shockwave, Soundwave, and Breakdown) who seek resources to destroy the Predacons, who were resurrected by the main Kree crystal which Spider-Man and his team are after. The Champions and Autobots agree to form an alliance on their goal to destroy the crystal and Predaking, who seeks to convert humans' technology to his own liking and take revenge on the Decepticons for enslaving them. Spider-Man sides with Optimus himself while the Champions (like their previous teammates did before) pick their most suitable partners: Ms. Marvel with Bumblebee, Inferno with Arcee, Speed and Ant-Girl with Grimlock, Brawn with Bulkhead and Arsenal with Ratchet, and set out to track down the main crystal. Spider-Man and Optimus trace some prototype Kree crystals in the cave Peter's parents entered to collect Arsenal's robot body; Optimus tells him that Arsenal's body belonged to an ancient Cybertronian Seeker who was neither Autobot nor Decepticon, and was the first Cybertronian to land on Earth before his death. They soon find another crystal, but are ambushed and attacked by Megatron, who wrongly accuses the humans and Autobots for unleashing Predaking to the world and Cybertron.

Optimus battles Megatron, buying Spider-Man time to destroy the crystal before they take their leave. Megatron remains in pursuit until he is attacked by Predaking, who arrives with his army of beast machines and their lieutenant and former Decepticon Starscream. The Champions and Autobots battle the Predacons and Decepticons' Insecticons while keeping the fight away from civilization. Ratchet and Arsenal access a hidden Decepticon laboratory located in a abandoned mine and, through the computers, they manage to trace the location of the remaining duplicate crystals and the original one, which is connected to the Predaking's spark. After defeating Barricade and Airachnid and destroying one of the crystal prototypes, Ms. Marvel and Bumblebee learn of the Decepticons' plan to collect and use the prototypes as batteries for a weapon which Shockwave constructed aboard the Nemesis, programmed to terraform Earth into a new incarnation of Cybertron where only Decepticons will rule. Followed by Izabella, Slug and Swoop, Ant-Girl, Speed and Grimlock infiltrate the Nemesis and destroy the weapon after defeating Shockwave. Just as the Champions manage to destroy the other crystals, leaving the original one for last, Predaking overwhelms Megatron and unleashes the Ultimatum: to use the crystal's power to convert the Nemesis back into its former beast form of the colossal Trypticon.

Despite incomplete, Trypticon sets out to target both Autobots and Decepticons in revenge for having been left dormant for decades. The Champions and Autobots manage to lure Predaking's Kree-powered armada into Trypticon while Ratchet and Arsenal combine the Bridge Protector with the Quantum Realm particles to teleport Trypticon to an uninhabited planet where the heroes can battle the Titan without any innocent casualties. While Spider-Man and Optimus battle Predaking in the spark of Trypticon, Starscream attempts to recreate one of the crystal duplicates to take control of the armada for himself. But before he can finish, he is stopped by Ms. Marvel and Bumblebee and knocked into the ground, where he is squashed and killed by an out-of-control Trypticon. After a brutal fight, Optimus pummels Predaking into Trypticon's spark while Spider-Man empales Predaking with an Allspark-powered blade, overloading both Predaking and Trypticon and killing them, destroying the Kree crystal along with the armada in the progress. Enraged over their warship's loss, Megatron and the rest of the Decepticons forcibly retreat to another planet while vowing revenge on the heroes. The Autobots voice their good compliments over the Champions' performance while thanking them for their help before Spider-Man and the team leave back to their dimension, hopeful that their forces will work together again some day. Back in the Triskelion, Peter is writing a log about his previous experience in the Cybertronians' reality as well as in the two previous universes he and his friends have been through, while Kamala, Cassie and Jack recall their good moments with Bumblebee and Grimlock respectively, with Anya Corazon and Scott Lang overhearing of their adventure. Peter also remarks there is still only one more Oscorp protocol to destroy before it will fall in the Regent's hands.
