On a far away planet light years away from Earth the struggle between the Heroic Autobots and Evil Decepticons began.

There, on Cyberton, a unique intelligent life form existed - sophisticated robots who could transform into individual warrior machines.

The battle between the two sides - the peace loving Autobots and the Evil Decepticons - continued. As war raged across Cybertron it destroyed all in its path leaving a desolate and barren land, draining the planet of its source of energy.

Both sides needed power to fuel their highly developed weapons and machines.

As energy supplies dwindled Optimus Prime, the brave leader of the Autobots, realised that the only way good was going to triumph over evil was to travel further afield in search of new forms of power.

So Optimus Prime and his team blasted off from cyber Ron in their spaceship- The Ark.

The Decepticons overheard Optimus Prime’s plans and, led by their wicked leader Megatron, followed the Autobots hoping to discover new energy supplies.

However, both sides were at the mercy of the unknown forces of space. G-forces dragged the Ark down to crash on a strange planet - known to us as Earth.

The Ark had crashed into a dormant volcano where it lay for four million years until it was disturbed by an eruption.

The Ark’s computer reconstructed the Decepticons and the Autobots giving them the power to transform into life-forms like those found on Earth, both sides could disguise themselves as earth vehicles, machines and weapons.

The battle between good and evil continued, however both sides were in search of new sources of power.

The Autobots befriended two humans, Buster Witwicky and his father, Sparkplug. Sparkplug was an experienced motor mechanic who agreed to help the Autobots by looking for a formula which could transform earth fuel into Transformer fuel.

Buster and Sparkplug then became involved in the fight between good and evil. The Decepticons wanted Sparkplug’s knowledge and therefore he was constantly under threat, he was snatched and had to be rescued. Buster too was put in danger when Optimus Prime transferred the bulk of Creation Matrix’s (the vital force which gives life to new Transformers) power to Buster’s mind as Prime himself was in danger.

As you can see by the help given to the Autobots from Buster Witwicky and Sparkplug, Earth Allies from an important role in aiding the Autobots to defeat the Decepticons.

Ultra Magnus, the new Autobot leader has the vital task of recruiting Earth Allies to join Buster and Sparkplug and form a new team to help defeat evil.
