The movie begins to show us an Autobot called Orion Pax, sneaking himself inside a library
to gain some information. He finds a kind of disk inside the cave and decided to insert it
into a machine. Just after he does that, a holographic video comes out and begins to
explain to us the origin of how the Transformers came to existence. It all begins with the creator
of the Transformers called the Primus. To protect the universe, he sacrificed his life for us by
transforming himself into a planet called the Cybertron. Inside Cybertron, Primus gave birth
to the first Transformers known as the Primes. Primus also created the Matrix of Leadership.
With the Matrix in the Primes' possession, Energon flowed in abundance, sustaining life across the
planet. Peace reigned in the planet for years, but this harmony came to an end when the Quintessence
invaded the planet and attacked. After that, the Matrix of Leadership disappeared and the
Energon flow was gone. Just as Orion wanted to learn more about the story, a security drone
finds Orion in the library and alerts Darkwing and his brother. Of course, Orion is in trouble
as him entering this library is considered as trespassing and miners like him have no right,
nor are they allowed to have access to this place. Darkwing and his brother are fed up because this
is not the first time he has sneaked inside the library. They decided to chase him, but since
Orion doesn't have the ability to transform, they decided to give him a head start to run.
Just after a few seconds of Orion running, the brothers transforms into jets and begins to chase
him. He jumps out of the library window, and as he falls to his death, he turns on a jetpack that
allows him to land slowly to the ground. The chase doesn't end as we see Orion jumping from one bridge
to the other. Just as the Transformers catches him, Orion's best friend called D comes to his
rescue. He distracted the Transformers, which gives Orion the chance to hide himself, then he
a wrong way to look for him. After they left, D argues with Orion for risking his life in that
manner, all because he wants to retrieve an ancient data which will help him find the Matrix
of Leadership. D tells him that Sentinel Prime is already outside their planet searching for it,
and reminds Orion that they are just miners and it's not their job to save the universe,
but Orion just had this feeling he was meant to do something more. He gifts D with a sticker he
found in the library that has the face of Megatron Prime on it. The two shakes themselves, promising
to always have their backs no matter what. The two friends later shows up to work with Alita,
the captain of the mining expedition. We find out that due to the perfection in her mining record,
she will soon be promoted as supervisor. A tunnel opens and Alita leads some Autobots inside it
using jetpacks. Orion and D joins the expedition, and they were able to mine a lot of Energon in
matter of minutes. But something really bad happens as the tunnel begins to explode. Alita gives the
orders to evaluate out of the tunnel, but Orion and D goes back to help an Autobot called Jax who
gets trapped in a rock. They disobey Alita orders to leave Jax behind, and they manage to use a
jetpack to pull him out of the rock, but at the cost of Jax losing one of his leg. They barely
manage to escape, but Alita scolds them because she can end up being fired because they disobey
her orders. Just instantly, a superior called Darkwing shows up and tells Alita that she's
fired for not following the protocols. Orion and D boldly confronts Darkwing for his bad
judgment on Alita, but they ended up getting a brutal punch on the face. Anyway, their sad
moment turned to joy when they hear an announcement informing Allbots to stand by for a live
transmission because their ruler, Sentinel Prime, is back. Through a live transmission, Sentinel
Prime appears in a holographic form to thank all the miners for their hard work, which has helped
the planet a lot. Sentinel Prime is outside the planet, and the reason of his departure was to
the key of bringing balance to Cybertron. He sadly informs them that after searching so hard,
he was unable to find the Matrix of Leadership, but promises not to give up on finding it so
Energon can flow again. To cheer everyone up, he announced to all the bots that there will be no
work tomorrow as they will be a big racing tournament. Later that night, Orion wakes D
from his sleep to suggest a great idea to him. Orion suggests they should both participate in
the race tomorrow. They don't even have to win the race, but if they can at least beat just
one Transformer, not only will they be known as the mighty bots that did the impossible in history,
but they will as well show everyone that they are capable of so much more. D doesn't believe
they can win because they are just mining bots who can't transform, and without transforming,
it's impossible to race. Just as the race is about to begin, Orion sneaks D to the highest
floor of a building where they can have a better view of the race. Their leader, Sentinel Prime,
shows up right before the race to begin to honor the Prime Transformers who gave their lives to
protect this planet. Immediately after his speech, he begins the race and we see all the participants
transforming into vehicles and begin to compete. It turns out Orion had a different reason for
taking D really high to a building close to the race. Using a jetpack, he carries D on his arms
and joins the race. Sentinel Prime sees this and is shocked on how miners were able to join the race.
The other bots are so happy to see this and cheers for them because this is the first time in history
for miners to join the race. D is pissed at Orion for not telling him beforehand and bluffs about
killing him after the race. Just as the fuel for their jetpack finished, Orion and D decided to
improvise by holding on to the other Transformers in their vehicle form but later got pushed away.
Orion and his friend are not ready to give up. They launch themselves using a kind of force and
skyrocket to the third place. Just as they are really close to the finish line, Darkwing knocks
them out and they ended up as the last position. Orion and D gets arrested for joining the race
which leads D blaming Orion who made him join the race out of his will. Although he enjoyed it and
felt different, he feels they are surely going to be punished and demoted. Sentinel Prime meets Orion
and D and tells them that what they did today is the craziest thing he has ever seen. To their
surprise, Sentinel is really impressed that they joined the race and even gave his best racers a
real run for their money. Anyway, Sentinel decided to go and prepare for his next trip to the surface
to continue his search for the Matrix of Leadership but before that, he reveals to have a
job for them both. He commands Darkwing to escort them to his personal service facility to give them
a better job. They are taken to Sentinel Prime Personal Service Facility which is a place where
no one can ever hear from them or see them. They will have no friends here nor have much time for
themselves as they will be working non-stop. They met a bot called Bumblebee who was surprised to
see another bot since the hundreds of years he has been working here. Bumblebee explains to Orion and
D their job. Every trash being thrown in the planet comes to this place, so their job is to
check out anything useful and any trash that comes in here before burning it down. Orion hears a
voice from one of the trash and goes to check it out. They find a microchip and as Orion touches
it, they see a holographic video from one of the Primes called Alpha Tyrian with his coordinates
calling for support as they are being attacked by the Quintessen. They also see a kind of map
that shows them where they can find the Matrix of Leadership. Orion sees this as a clue for them to
find the Matrix of Leadership and wants to go to the surface but D is totally against the idea
because going to the surface is really dangerous. But not wanting to stay his whole life down in
this facility, he changes his mind. They ask Bumblebee if there is any way they can go to
the surface and he says yes. They escape from the facility through a garbage chute and Bumblebee
sneaks them to the only train in their planet that can take them directly to the surface.
They find Alita who is forced to become a worker in the train. Alita attacks them and runs to
notify Darkwing concerning them escaping the facility but the fight stops just as the train
got them to the surface. Their mouths are wide open, surprised on how magnificent the surface is.
Orion shows Alita that he has a map that could lead them to where the Matrix of Leadership is.
Unfortunately for them, the group realizes that the surface of Cybertron is alive and is actively
defending itself from the train that is carrying some Energon to its destination. The ground rises
and this causes the train to be derailed, leading to the bots to fly away from it. Just as the bots
wakes up, Alita takes the map from Orion and decides to lead the group on the expedition,
but threatens that if the map doesn't lead them to the Matrix of Leadership, she will drag him
back to Cybertron herself where he will face punishment for escaping. On their way, they find
hundreds of bot deers. All of a sudden, the deers begin to run, making Orion and his friends to hide
themselves because whatever the deers might be running from will be dangerous. As they hide,
a gigantic quintessence ship passes them. It spots one of the deers and kills it instantly.
Just as they notice the ship is looking for Lideforms, they all go to a better place to hide.
After the ship left, they continue to follow the map which leads them to a cave with teeth.
They enter the cave to find the corpse of Primes that died long ago in the battle.
They realize the Primes were ambushed in battle. Among all the corpses,
Orion realizes that one of the Prime called Alpha Tyrian is not dead. They find an Energon on the
floor and places it inside Alpha Tyrian's chest which wakes him up. Alpha Tyrian reveals something
shocking to them. He says that Sentinel is not actually a Prime and they are just being deceived.
Thousands of years ago, the war with the quintessence has been a brutal conflict.
At that time, Sentinel was just a servant who got jealous of the Primes because of the special
treatment they were getting from Primus. Sentinel revealed to the Primes he has a very important
information that can be used to feed the quintessence. He requested them to meet him
at a specific location which they did, but behind their backs, Sentinel alerts the quintessence who
ambushed the Primes at the particular location and killed them. Sentinel did not only do this
out of jealousy, but he also wanted to have the Matrix of Leadership for himself so he can stop
the quintessence from attacking Cybertron in exchange of Energon. But however, Sentinel never
knew that the Matrix of Leadership is not something that can be obtained by anyone,
but it is instead earned with values and good heart. But Sentinel is a corrupt, bad, and despicable
person and as soon as he tries to take the Matrix of Leadership, it vanished into the air.
Orion and his friends are heartbroken that the person whom they idolized and saw as their leader
is in alliance to the quintessence. We find out that Sentinel forced the bots into mining so they
can take Energons which he secretly gives to quintessence to save his skin, gain power and
maintain good relations with them. Dee is so furious that Sentinel has been deceiving every
one of them and wants to kill him by any means possible to show the other bots for the fake Prime
that he is. Alpha Tyrian tells them that every bot was born with a transformer core. Sentinel
removed their transformer cores before they were brought online, that's why none of them have the
ability to transform. But Alpha Tyrian concludes that what defines a transformer is not the core
on his chest, but a spark that resides in their core. A spark gives you the will to make your
world better. Alpha Tyrian tells them his fellow Primes had the spark and he sees the Prime
strengthen them. Alpha Tyrian immediately removes the core from all the dead Prime Transformers and
gives it to Orion and his friends so they can access their full potentials. Now he is giving
them the ability to change their world and how they should use the power is up to them.
After a while, the quintessence found them. Alpha Tyrian gives them a video recording which is a
proof that Sentinel is a traitor and tells them to rush back to Cybertron to warn the rest.
Alpha Tyrian decided to stay behind to hold off the quintessence so they can have enough time to
escape. He transforms into a wolf-like bot to fight them. Meanwhile, as Orion and his friends
are escaping, they decided to try and transform since they now have cores. But no matter how they
try it, it wasn't working. Just as they get blocked by the quintessence who tries to kill them,
they unconsciously transforms into various vehicles which help them to lose sight of the
quintessence. Sentinel captures Alpha Tyrian and questions him on the identity of the bots who were
with him in the cave. Just as Alpha Tyrian says they are bots who are going to defeat him,
Sentinel brings out his blade and kills him. Just as the group journey back to Cybertron,
D talks about not putting his fate in any leader ever again and is so determined to kill Sentinel.
On their way, they all got electrocuted and are taken to a basement.
They are surrounded by hundreds of bot, led by a transformer on a throne called Starscreen.
Starscreen reveals to Orion and his friends that they are old high guards of Cybertron
who were present at the time of Sentinel betrayal. Ever since that day, they have been fighting from
the shadows, doing whatever they can to sabotage Sentinel. Starscreen says that for them to defeat
Sentinel they should appoint him as the new leader, but D is so fed up in hearing the word
leader. He had promised himself never to put his trust on any leader and just as he decided to
leave, Starscreen got so angry as his act is a huge disrespect to him. Starscreen and D end up
fighting one another. D defeat him and he surprises everyone when he brings out a weapon from his body.
Orion reminds that Starscreen is not the enemy but Sentinel is. D tells the high guards to bear
witness as this will be the last time he will show mercy. He gives them a choice to either stay here
with their pathetic leader hiding, or they can follow him and hatch back to Cybertron so they can
take down Sentinel once and for all. Orion is shocked as his best friend has totally changed.
Just during the talk, Sentinel troops shows up at their hideout and begins attacking everyone.
They are outnumbered and half of them were captured including Starscreen and D, while
very few of them were able to hide themselves and that includes Orion and Alita. Alita motivates
Orion not to give up and Orion decided to create an army with the surviving old guards.
His first plan is to save D and Bumblebee from the prison of Sentinel and this can work with
a surprise attack. We see D and Bumblebee who are being tied down with the other bots.
Sentinel reveals he was the one who killed Megatron Prime and took his core which made him so powerful.
He plans to take them to Cybertron and lie to the other bots that they are traitors,
then after that he will kill them. Orion returns back to Cybertron and sneaks inside the mine to
recruit his once fellow miners into soldiers. He tells them the truth about everything and
how Sentinel has been deceiving them their whole life. All the miners are so motivated
by Orion's speech and they begin to chant his name. Back to Sentinel. Just as he is about to
kill D who refuses to stay down, Alita and the old guards shows up to attack them. Orion also
shows up with the miners and joins the attack. Orion frees D and reveals to know how to stop
Sentinel but D wants to handle it his own way. The final battle we have all been waiting for
begins as Orion and D fights with Sentinel. Sentinel pins D to the ground and begins to
talk about his evil deeds but what he doesn't know is Orion took the opportunity to broadcast
what he was saying to every bot in the planet to watch. Just as Sentinel is distracted D attacks
him from behind. D tries to kill him with his weapon but Orion stops him. Orion tells him they
have won the battle as everyone now knows how evil Sentinel is and rebuilding a new nation
does not have to start with an execution. But D lets angry and pain to take over him.
He punches Orion out of his way and goes to finish what he started by killing Sentinel.
Just as he loads his gun and shoots at Sentinel, Orion who tries to stop him ended up taking the
bullet. D catches Orion as he was about to fall off a cliff but all of a sudden decided to change
his mind. His eyes turn red and he lets go of Orion hand and he falls off a cliff. D carries
Sentinel and tears his body to pieces. He pulls out the core of Megatron prime out of Sentinel
and tells all the high guards to follow him and they will never be deceived.
Orion falls inside a realm where he comes in contact with the ghosts of the primes
who tells him that his noble sacrifice for the greater good has proven him worthy in the eyes
of Primus. Because of that they decided to give him the matrix of leadership. On the other hand,
D places the Megatron prime core inside his chest and becomes Megatron while the matrix of
leadership is being placed inside the chest of Orion which turned him into Optimus Prime.
Just as Megatron tries to kill the bots who are against his rulership, Optimus Prime shows up.
He engages in a fight with Megatron. This was a really long and epic fight. Megatron gained the
upper hand at first but suddenly Optimus releases an axe-like weapon and defeated Megatron in matter
of seconds. He decided to spare Megatron life but banishes him and the high guards from Citi.
Megatron leaves but tells Prime that it is not yet over until it is over. Optimus Prime appoints
Bumblebee and Aletha as his commanders and the best of all is Energon returns back to Cybertron.
The Energons enters the chest of all the miners, making them Transformers and that was how the
movie ended. Thank you for watching guys. If you love animation movies,
