In the aftermath of Rise of the Beasts, Earth faces a new kind of extinction. The Terrans—Transformers born of Earth’s frequencies and bonded to human families—are being hunted by G.H.O.S.T., a covert organization that sees them as unstable anomalies. But the true threat looms above. Megatron has returned, leading a fractured Decepticon force in a desperate bid to restore Cybertron. Their plan: activate the ancient Space Bridge Pillars and drag Cybertron into Earth’s atmosphere, fusing the two worlds into one. The process will fracture gravity, collapse ecosystems, and rewrite the planet in steel. As the Terrans flee persecution and the sky begins to crack, the Autobots form a fragile alliance with new human allies—fighters, scientists, and survivors. Mirage, still haunted by war echoes, begins to unravel the truth behind the Pillars. And deep underground, the Terrans begin to evolve, sensing the pull of a world they’ve never known. The battle isn’t just for survival—it’s for identity, memory, and the right to call Earth home. The Autobots must rise, the Terrans must choose, and humanity must stand beside them before Cybertron falls… and takes Earth with it.
