Premise
Millions of years ago, a war between the Heroic Autobots and the Evil Decepticons raged on their home planet of Cybertron. Many lives were claimed during the tragedy. Decepticon leader Megatron is locked up in prison, and the Allspark is thrown across the galaxy as a result of war. So, numerous Autobots head to planet Earth to obtain both the Allspark and the four spikes(designed to free Megatron.) Without a shuttle available, Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Bumblebee, Cheetor, Skyfire, Cliffjumper, and Hot Shot were the last Autobots remaining on Cybertron. When a new shuttle was built, Cliffjumper and Hot Shot remain to guard the prison holding Megatron, while the others head to Earth to retrieve the Allspark and the spikes. When Megatron hears these news, he enlists his Decepticon operatives Soundwave, Starscream, and Shockblast to destroy the Autobots. In present day, the Autobots team up with Brooklyn preteen Kevin and his friends to protect the Allspark, and then the spikes, from Decepticon hands.
