Optimus Prime, the Autobot leader, and his associates embark on an objective to rebuild Cybertron with the help of the AllSpark, an effective artifact that can bring life to their world.

Unicron is identified to raise an army of Predacons, dragon-like transformers, to assist in his conquest. He revives several Predacon remains and controls them into serving him. Predaking, who survived the previous battles and is unaware of Unicron's return, initially intends to reunite with his brethren.

On The Other Hand, Optimus Prime and a group of Autobots effort to recover the AllSpark. Throughout their objective, they discover that a piece of the AllSpark is essential to bring brand-new life to their world. The Autobots take a trip to the core of Cybertron, where Optimus utilizes the Matrix of Leadership to release the AllSpark's energies, starting the revival procedure.

Back on the surface, the Autobots, along with the freshly built Autobot named Smokescreen and a handful of human good friends, face the Predacon hazard. Predaking ultimately realizes Unicron's deceit and joins forces with the Autobots to face this mutual opponent. In the occurring battle, the Autobots face off against the revived Predacons and Unicron's menacing power.

To completely restore Cybertron, Optimus sacrifices himself by merging the AllSpark with the planet's core, understanding that this act will cost him his own life.
