The Autobots and Decepticons are back, but wait until you see their new designs! Old and new fans alike will revel in these updated versions of the classic transforming robots. Now you can explore the future of robots in disguise!
The scene is Cybertron, one million years ago, and the Autobot Hot Shot hurries into Cyber City to report to his leader, Optimus Prime. He plays Optimus a recording, made by a Mini-Con named Leader-1, whose village, A10, has been taken by the Decepticons. Meanwhile in Village C52 the Mini-Cons work desperately to erect a force shield to protect themselves. Longarm tells his friend Jolt about the horrible conditions and experiments the Decepticons carry out on captured Mini-Cons. The shield is erected in time, but the Decepticons Cyclonus and Demolisher overcome it with ease. The village falls, and the Decepticons report back to their leader, Megatron, who is preparing to declare war.
