Story
Set after the events of the Transformers: War for Cybertron trilogy, the infamous godfather Megatron was ultimately captured at the hands of the Autobots, who have easily won a successful Cybertronian war campaign against his people, the Decepticons. After he was convicted of directing terrorisms, insurrections and government corruptions in an attempt to overthrow the Autobots out of rule, Megatron was sentenced to Graviton Prison, a maximum-security holding facility located in the mouth of the Black Hole, but not before inspiring his Decepticon army to, in order to survive, look for solitarium that is hidden on Earth. "My secret fortune is yours for the taking if you want to survive—but you will have to find it first. All of that can only be found on another planet called Earth."

The Decepticons, temporarily led by Megatron's right-hand general, Starscream, promised to free their master one day and set course for Earth, but not before gunning down an Autobot patrol cruiser, piloted by Optimus Prime, to the planet. After the patrol cruiser crashed into Earth, Optimus and his team of Autobots (consisting of Ratchet, Ironhide, Bumblebee, Elita-1, Chromia, and Arcee) are discovered, hospitalized, and later, aided by N.E.S.T. (short for Networked Extraterrestrial Support Team), a special operations force working for the United States Armed Forces created in preparation for the Decepticons' invasion on Earth.

Today, Starscream, and later, Megatron (after he was freed from Graviton Prison at the end of the first episode), lead the Decepticons on incursions to gather enough solitarium to bring their armies back in full force. However, training for this day, the Autobots are deployed to combat the Decepticons to protect the planet's solitarium from them. As the series progresses, the Autobots' resolve is strengthened once they learn the true nature of their enemy and the horrors that would result should the Decepticons cyberform Earth, merging it with Cybertron to accomplish that task.

At the climax of the fourth and final season, Deseeus, a Quintesson entity who once created Cybertron long ago, was purposely revived by the Decepticons as Unicron ("the Chaos Bringer"), and plagued both factions, bent on destroying the entire universe by rejuvenation. As a consequence of their armed conflict, the Autobots and Decepticons form an uneasy alliance to destroy Unicron for good. The series soon ends with the lasting truce between the Autobots and Decepticons before both factions return to Cybertron to finally rebuild what is left of their home.
