Transformers: Quest for the AllSpark

Transformers: Quest for the AllSpark is the movie. Re-imaging the original Transformers: The Movie in Transformers: Universe (Reboot).

Act One
A mechanical planet travels through the depths of space, attacking a metal planet which has robotic inhabitants. Robots, vehicles, buildings, and even large chunks of rock are sucked off the surface and devoured by the monstrous planet. Reporting from a remote station, Red Alert informs the Autobots on Cybertron of the resultant destruction of the planet Lithone.

The Decepticons attack the Autobot shuttle en route from Athenia to Earth, wiping out its crew. Using the Autobots' own shuttle, the Decepticons are able to get very close to the Autobots' base on Earth, Autobot City, before they are detected, and begin a devastating surprise attack on the unprepared city.

During the battle at Autobot City, Megatron summons the Lugnut Supremes. Optimus uses the Magnus Hammer to cause a tornado which sends three Lugnuts crashing down. Lugnut reports to Megatron that Prime's attack managed to damage the one and disable the flight mechanisms of the other two. Furious, Megatron tells him to have the clones destroy everything in Autobot City. Prime orders Prowl to break off from their fight with Megatron, find Jazz and try to slow the clones down.

Prowl and Jazz try to get inside the Lugnut Supremes, but their armor is too strong to cut through, and Jazz radios Prime with news of their failure. Optimus tells them that the only thing powerful enough to shield Autobot City is the AllSpark artifact, but it's scattered everywhere. In return, flushed by his recent success in reconstituting a fragment, Prowl theorizes that they can use processor-over-matter to make the AllSpark whole again. Prime is doubtful, but Prowl is adamant, and flies his fellow ninjabot.

Ratchet uses his magnets to keep Arcee above Omega's face and the fembot uploads the codes, severing Lugnut's control over him. Omega Supreme ejects the massive Decepticon and heads for Earth once Sari and all the Autobots are aboard, with the three remaining protoforms.

On Earth, with Lugnut no longer guiding them, the clones briefly shut down... then reactivate with Starscream 2's face. The treacherous Decepticon tells Megatron that he planted bombs in the clones, aiming to destroy him and everything within a hundred-mile radius. Unable to remove the bombs inside, Megatron decides to instead destroy Optimus Prime. Prowl and Jazz begin using processor-over-matter to collecting AllSpark fragments. Starscream 2 arrives to observe the death of Megatron, but his AllSpark fragment suddenly begins pulling him toward the AllSpark being formed by Jazz and Prowl. Starscream 2 panics and tries to destroy the two ninja-bots, but as his AllSpark fragment is pulled from his head, he discovers he is being kept alive by Dark Energon is his spark chamber.

Omega Supreme arrives and begins fighting the two clones. He is able to defeat one and disarm its bomb, but the other knocks him aside and forces him back to ship mode. At Autobot City, Jazz says that they don't have enough Spark to shield the city, but neither he nor Prowl can pull in any more AllSpark fragments. Prowl recognizes that there is one other way to make the AllSpark chunk powerful enough, and levitates towards it. Jazz recognizes what he intends to do, and screams that they can find another way, but Prowl merely turns to give him a reassuring smile. Suddenly, the AllSpark releases a surge of energy, and Prowl falls back to the ground. Jazz catches his body, but it is too late: Prowl is dead. A field soon forms around the remaining clone, but Megatron and Optimus Prime are trapped within it. Megatron gloats that he will take Optimus with him, but a figure of light in Prowl's image removes Optimus from the force field. Megatron roars in anger as the clone detonates, and everything goes white...

Waking up, Optimus sees his fellow bots around him. They declare that they won, and begin to celebrate... until Jazz comes carrying Prowl's shell, revealing that the ninja-bot merged his spark with the AllSpark to give it the necessary energy. Optimus moves toward his fallen comrade, but is instead knocked backwards by a purple blast. Megatron still functions! Ratchet uses his magnets to throw the Magnus Hammer to Optimus. In a rage, Optimus beats Megatron down. Lying helpless, Megatron urges Optimus to finish him, and Optimus brings the Magnus Hammer down...on Megatron's fusion cannon. Optimus says that killing Megatron is the easy way out, and the Decepticon leader doesn't deserve that. Eventually the Decepticons retreat. This sequence of events is observed remotely by the prototype Unicron, the monstrous planet, who appears unusually concerned by the survival of the Matrix.

Act Two
After the Battle of Autobot City, the Autobots are holding a little ceremony back on Cybertron where Optimus Prime began making a speech, in which he mentioned Prowl. Optimus also says that they are there to honor Bumblebee and knights him as a warrior for ridding the universe of the scourge of Megatron.

The Decepticons are making their escape aboard Astrotrain, but are too heavy for him to get them all home under his own power. After putting the matter to a fair vote, the Decepticons decide to throw the Starscream and the Insecticon clones off the ship to better the chance of survival for the rest, including the mortally wounded Megatron. Too injured to save himself, Starscream 2 tosses Megatron out into space and claims leadership of the Decepticon army. Cyclonus and Tidal Wave fly behind in a attempt to bring Megatron.

Megatron and the other adrift Decepticons then encounter the prototype Unicron in interstellar space. Unicron offers to rebuild Megatron and his minions in exchange for their service. After some coercion on the planetoid's part, Megatron agrees, and is reformatted into Galvatron with his sword recreated into a more powerful weapon. Cyclonus and Tidal Wave are reformatted into Snow Cat and Mirage. The other Decepticlones are turned into Cyclonus, Scourge, and the Sweeps. Unicron provides them with a ship, the Revenge, and sends them to kill Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus and destroy the Matrix, stating that the Matrix is the only thing which can stand in his way. Galvatron first stops at New Kaon to take his revenge and kills Starscream 2 by blasting a hole through him and reclaiming leadership of the Decepticons.

Meanwhile, Optimus uses the Star Saber to promote Bumblebee from Scout to Warrior. Wheeljack begins the celebration by blowing up Megatron's statue overhead. Bulkhead and Wheeljack chest bump and Smokescreen welcomes Bumblebee to the Warrior rank. After making Bumblebee a warrior, Wheeljack states that they should celebrate starting with the detonation of Megatron's statue but Optimus politely refuses, thus proving Arcee's opinion of Primes never party. Optimus says that they still have much work to do and that some unknown entity had entered the Hadean System and would approach Cybertron in three days. He states that their planet is currently incapable of generating new life until he can recover the legendary AllSpark. Optimus explained to his team that as the dawn of Cybertron's war reached a tipping point, he had sent the AllSpark to a distant sector of the galaxy.

On the Moon, Dr. Jones presents a new craft he's developed: the Miranda II, a massive, highly durable vessel powered by its own energon tower, allowing the Autobots to expand their search for energon. Bee Team store the various Iacon relics including the Star Saber and the Forge of Solus Prime in the ship's storage. Optimus Prime assembles his team, which to Kicker's surprise includes Misha. The ship launches. Its first mission is to retrieve the physical AllSpark from where it was hidden during the Great War and destroy the entity.

The Miranda II leaves Earth's solar system and arrives at the AllSpark's location in Theta Scorpii, the most dangerous sector in the galaxy, as Kicker implied. Arriving in an asteroid field, Optimus Prime said that Alpha Trion forged an indestructible vessel that was capable to hold the AllSpark from any danger. Not wanting to risk losing the Miranda II in the hazardous conditions there, Optimus continues on alone.

Almost immediately afterwards, the prototype Unicron arrives in New Cybertron's vicinity and devours at least two moons—both of the Autobots' moon bases are destroyed. Under coercion by Unicron, Galvatron finally heads to Mars to kill Ultra Magnus, but Magnus and the other surviving Autobots flee in a pair of shuttles. Eventually, Galvatron manages to cause one shuttle to crash on yet another metal planet (Quintessa), and detonates the other with a volley of missiles. However, the Autobots in the second shuttle escape unnoticed by separating the front portion of their shuttle just before impact.

Over at Theta Scorpii, Kicker volunteers to head out and refuses to let Optimus go out solo. He suits up and heads into the asteroid field... only to immediately lose control and go tumbling head over heels. The Autobots coach him into regaining control, and Kicker finally sights the AllSpark's container. Optimus finally comes within reach of the AllSpark when Wheeljack detects a massive plasma storm coming in. Despite his warnings, Optimus continues toward the AllSpark. He just barely reaches the AllSpark as the plasma storm approaches. Optimus returns to the ship with the AllSpark. He orders Wheeljack to return to Cybertron as soon as possible, in which Wheeljack questions the size of the AllSpark.

The Decepticons detect the ship, and move to respond. Ultra Magnus attempts to contact Optimus, but the damage the shuttle sustained means though his message gets through, Optimus can't respond. Galvatron and the Decepticons arrive and prepare to attack on the Miranda II. Misha prepares to deploy the ship's energon shield while Bee Team defends the AllSpark from the Deception prisoners and Team Prime engage the Decepticons. Ironhide knocks Snow Cat into the Insecticons before they cause the hull breach, leaving them dazed.

Galvatron orders the Revenge to launch the moleculon missiles at the Miranda II. Misha activates the energon shield. As an alarmed Ironhide and Demolishor both watch, the rapidly expanding shield grows toward Optimus and Galvatron, who are engaged in battle. Demolishor flies in to push his leader aside, and is caught by the field. As a bright light engulfs him, Ironhide flashes back to their time on Earth together, and... rather calmly notes that they'd better get going. Demolishor begins to disintegrate, vows that Optimus Prime will pay for this, and then explodes. Ironhide watches and again notes that they should get in the ship, which he does backward. A small glowing spark descends from the explosion, landing in the palm of Galvatron's hands. He leads his remaining troops away, while the Miranda II heads for Cybertron in light-speed drive.

Amid a somber atmosphere on the bridge, Prime thanks Kicker for his help finding the AllSpark; Kicker modestly shrugs it off, thanks Misha for her help, and notes that there's still a lot more work ahead. As Ironhide gazes out the windows at the passing space, nobody much notices that their former comrade just died.
