Story plot
Many years ago,  Cybertron  is destroyed at the hands of  Megatron , the ruthless impulsive leader of the evil  Decepticons , during his quest to obtain the  AllSpark , an ancient cube-like object with unlimited source of  Energon . The Decepticons attempts to use the AllSpark to rebuild and take over Cybertron with a new army, while continuing their long ensuing war against the  Autobots  led by the wise heroic  Optimus Prime , who desires to use the AllSpark to restore Cybertron and rebuild. When the AllSpark is shot into space, the Autobots and Decepticons scatter across the galaxy in a race to retrieve it. In the present day, the AllSpark crash-lands on  Earth  and is discovered by archeologists. Decepticons learn of the AllSpark’s whereabouts and they invade earth on their spacecraft called “ The Nemesis ”, demanding the AllSpark be handed over or they will exterminate the entire human race. The Autobots soon arrive to earth and Optimus convinces the  U.S Government  to allow them and the Autobots work together in an alliance to stop the Decepticons and save mankind.



Seven years later, Sean Witwicky ( Nick Jonas ) is a slacky sixteen-year-old teenage boy who spends his time hanging out with his childhood best-friend Chip Chase ( Dylan O’Brien ) and tries to woo his love crush, Carly Miller ( Britt Robinson ). Sean’s father, George Witwicky ( Kevin Costner ) is a captain in the  U.S. Air Force , who secretly attends missions in hunting the Decepticons with the Autobots, along with U.S Army Lt. Colonel Brad Mason ( Josh Duhamel ) and Sergeant D.J. Marks ( Columbus Short ), in a secret team called “ NEST ” under the command of the  U.S. Military , but also incorporating with militaries from other countries.



Decepticons  Blackout  and  Scorponok  invade a secret military research facility to obtain recent discovered shrapnel pieces from the AllSpark. They attack the facility, killing humans in the process, retrieve the shrapnel pieces and flee back to the Nemesis. Megatron punishes  Starscream  for continuing to fail him in finding the whereabouts of the Autobot base, and absorbs Energon from every shrapnel fragment he collects.  Soundwave  locates a military operation base in  Qatar , where George and his men are sent to retrieve a large Energon-like fragment, which has been found and studied by scientists. Starscream, Blackout and Brawl attack the base and obtain the fragment. George leads a small group of survivors and manages to escape into the desert, and they are being followed by  Laserbeak .



At the  Pentagon , Defense Secretary John Keller ( Jon Voight ) oversees the investigation into the attack in Qatar.  Frenzy  infiltrates a secret government facility and discovers the AllSpark was handed in the protection of George by the U.S. Government. After terminating several agents, Frenzy slips into  Barricade  and informs the whereabouts of the AllSpark. Meanwhile, Sean learns about the attack of the operation base spreads and mourns, believing his father’s dead. The next day, Sean is comforted by Carly, who slowly develops a romantic crush on him.



While having Carly and Chip over, Sean goes through his father’s secret belongings and uncovers the AllSpark, which was entrusted to George to keep hidden from the Autobots until they are proven they can truly be trusted. Just as Sean and Carly share a romantic kiss, Barricade arrives and Frenzy attacks them. Sean, Carly and Chip escape and are pursued by Barricade, until they are helped by  Bumblebee , an Autobot who’s been in the form of Sean’s recent bought vehicle, a 1975 Chevrolet Camaro.

He explains that the Dynasty of Primes came to Earth in search for the Matrix of Leadership to use its power to help create Energon with a build machine called “ The Harvest ”, by destroying suns. Before their voyage, the Primes had declared one rule: not to destroy suns with living bearing worlds. Once they’ve found the Matrix, The Fallen betrayed and slaughtered the Primes, all except  Prima , leader of the Primes who defeated and trapped The Fallen inside the sarcophagus to prevent him from using the Harvest to destroy Earth, due to his hatred towards humans. Before his death, Prima entrusted Jetfire and his Seekers to protect the Matrix at all costs. The Seekers bury the Matrix alongside Prima and the rest of the Primes inside their ship,  The Leadership , and buries the Leadership underground. Some of the Seekers remain loyal and honorable to The Fallen and attempted to retrieve the Matrix, causing an ensuing battle that left Jetfire as the only surviving Seeker.

The Transformers: Darkness
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">During the war on  Cybertron , a cybertronian spacecraft called “ The Ark ” attempts to escape the planet, carrying an invention capable of ending the endless war between the  Autobots  and the  Decepticons . However, the Ark is hit and missiles and it floats into outer space. Centuries later, the Ark crash lands on Earth, in the year  1952 , and it is detected by  NASA . Scientists investigate the Ark, uncover and take the invention, and the  U.S. Government  decides to keep the Ark hidden away from the world, using the “ UFO ” incident as a cover up.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">In the present day, one year has passed after the battle in  Egypt . The Autobots continue to work with  NEST  in tracking down the remaining Decepticons hiding on earth. They also assist the United States military in preventing conflicts around the globe, as well as preventing scientists from using deceased transformers to create and control their own Transformers.  Optimus Prime ,  Ironhide ,  Sunstreaker ,  Jolt  and  Tailgate  join NEST Major Brad Reynolds ( Josh Duhamel ) and his team to  Dallas ,  Texas , to investigate discovered alien technology. Once there, Optimus is given an engine part of the Ark, discovering that it had survived its journey from Cybertron. The team is attacked by several Decepticons led by  Shockwave , who was sent to obtain the engine. Shockwave battles and kills Sunstreaker, Tailgate and Jolt and manages to escape.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Meanwhile, Sean Witwicky ( Nick Jonas ) is seen celebrating his nineteenth birthday with his girlfriend Carly Miller ( Halston Sage ), best-friend Chip Chase ( Dylan O’Brien ) and their friend Tori Mason ( Lucy Hale ), Chip’s girlfriend, at his home. Just after George ( Kevin Costner ), Sean’s father who now works as a manager at  HONDA , drops off Sean’s birthday cake before returning to work, the group is joined by  Wheelie  and  Brains , another small former Decepticon. While getting ready for his soon to be high school graduation, Sean talks to George of his future, wanting to graduate college, marry Carly and start a family.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Meanwhile, the Autobots mourn the loss of Tailgate, Jolt and Sunstreaker, and Optimus is angry at the humans for not following through with their agreement of sharing all known information relating to Cybertron and its inhabitants. Despite this, he informs NEST and Abigail Mearing ( Sigourney Weaver ) about the space bridge technology the Ark contains including his old predecessors,  Sentinel Prime  and  Zeta Prime . Together with  Ratchet  and  Arcee , Optimus is taken to the Ark, where they find both Sentinel and Zeta inside the ship. Elsewhere,  Megatron , (still recovering from wounds suffered in Egypt), and the Decepticons reside on the  Nemesis  in the jungles of  South Africa , where he meets up both with  Starscream  and  Soundwave . After learning that the Autobots have recovered Sentinel and Zeta and the pillars, Megatron orders Soundwave and Laserbeak to execute their “loose ends”.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">At school, Sean and Carly meet and befriend Luke Gould ( Jeremy Irvine ), the son of billionaire Marcus Gould ( Eric Dane ) and his wife Sandra ( Kim Raver ). Chip keeps an eye on Luke, suspecting him to be very suspicious on why he is determined to be their friend and to meet the Autobots. On the day of high school graduation, Sean learns from science teacher Ron Weston ( Blair Underwood ) about a conspiracy by humans who collaborate with the Decepticons. Before he could tell Sean more, Weston is attacked and killed by Laserbeak, who then targets Sean after graduation and tries to kill him, Carly, Chip and Tori. The four are helped by Luke and the trio manages to escape from Laserbeak and Motormaster in a freeway chase.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The trio travel to NEST base and informs Reynolds and Agent Tom Fowler ( Chiwetel Ejiofor ) of what he learned from Weston, at the same time as Optimus uses the  Matrix of Leadership  to reactivate Sentinel and Zeta Prime. Zeta reveals he designed the cybertronian technology, nine pillars capable of opening a space bridge, and that they are controlled by the main pillar called “ The Harbinger ”. Mearing is not happy with NEST receiving Intel from Sean, whom she discloses has no business interfering, and Sean, locked out of participating in the investigation by Mearing, turns to Richard Simmons ( John Turturro ) for help. Simmons, now a famous millionaire writer, and his assistant Remy ( Alan Tudyk ) help Sean find out that the Soviets have taken photos of Decepticons removing a large space bridge pillar, the Harbinger, out of the Ark before it was discovered. Sean, Chip and Simmons conclude that the Decepticons left Sentinel and Zeta Prime on purpose, knowing only Zeta would be able to activate the space bridge and only Optimus could reactivate him and Sentinel both.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Sean quickly warns the Autobots in time so they can protect Sentinel and Zeta from a Decepticon attack and escort them back to NEST headquarters. Along the way, the trio,  Bumblebee ,  Mirage , Arcee and  Sideswip e are pursued by Decepticon assassins called  The Dreads , led by  Crankcase , and are helped by Ironhide,  Cliffjumper  and the Twins  Mudflap  and  Skids . Upon arriving at NEST base, Zeta reveals that he has made a deal with Megatron, knowing the Autobots would never win the war. After killing Ironhide, Mudflap and several NEST soldiers, Zeta claims the remaining pillars and escapes after killing Fowler, who attempted to stop him from fleeing with the pillars. The other Autobots, including Sentinel, track him down, but are too late to stop him as Zeta activates a space bridge, allowing Decepticon troops to reach Earth.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">After a confrontation with Optimus and Sentinel, Zeta flees with the Decepticons, admitting he was never on their side, and reveals to be a descendant of his old master,  The Fallen ; Zeta desires to avenge The Fallen’s death on the Autobots and their human allies. The Autobots are forced to retreat, and Bumblebee takes Sean and the others home. Upon arriving at Sean’s home, the trio finds George held captive by Marcus, Sandra and Dr. Arkville ( Malcolm McDowell ), Marcus’s father. Luke betrays Sean, revealing that he and his family have been working with the Decepticons since the Transformers revealed themselves ten years ago, and Carly is taken captive by Soundwave.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Meanwhile, Zeta Prime has given mankind an ultimatum to exile the Autobots off the earth, revealing his objective is to save Cybertron, or so he claims. The world accepts Zeta’s terms and declares the Autobots to leave earth. As the Autobots prepare to leave on the Ark, which has been fully repaired and build, Sean asks Optimus about his plan, but Optimus tells that there is no plan and that mankind will now have to defend against the Decepticons on their own. With the Autobots onboard, the Ark takes off, only to be intercepted by Starscream,  Thundercracker  and  Dreadwing . The Ark is destroyed, and the world believes the Autobots are dead.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Sean, along with Chip and Tori, decides to go to New York City, where the Goulds have taken Carly and George. Former NEST sergeant D.J. Marks ( Columbus Short ) accompanies them, together with other NEST members. Marks attempts to get payback and avenge Fowler’s death. Upon arriving in New York City, they are promptly attacked by the Decepticons, but are rescued by Optimus and the Autobots. It is revealed that the Autobots had no intention of leaving Earth and hidden themselves inside the real Ark, while a build prototype version of the Ark was destroyed by Starscream, Dreadwing and Thundercracker.

Sean, Chip and Bumblebee rescue Carly and George, killing Laserbeak in the process, and they use Chip’s laptop to alter the military of the Decepticons plans. Due to another attack by a team of Decepticons led by Shockwave, the team is separated once more. While the Autobots battle the Decepticons, Marks and his team make their way into the Empire State Building, but just as they reach and are about to destroy the Harbinger, they are attacked by Shockwave’s pet,  The Driller , who brings the entire building crashing down.  Jetfire  comes to their aid and destroys the Driller. Optimus engages and kills Dreadwing.

Reynolds and his team arrive, and with Reynolds’s help, Sean, using weapons provided by to him by Wheeljack, kills Starscream while Thundercracker is destroyed by NEST soldiers. Meanwhile, the Decepticons have pinned down and captured Bumblebee, Ratchet, Mirage, Arcee, Sideswipe, Wheeljack, Cliffjumper and Skids, but Marcus convinces them to execute them instead as trophies. Barricade and Sideways execute Skids and Wheeljack, but just as Soundwave was about to kill Bumblebee, Wheelie Brains manage to hijack one of the Decepticons’ ships crash, thereby distracting Soundwave long enough for the Autobots to break free. Bumblebee overpowers and kills Soundwave.

The Goulds confront Sean, Carly and Chip, and Arkville and Sandra are crushed and killed by falling debris, caused by Bumblebee, forcing Marcus and Luke to escape. Optimus is pinned down by Shockwave and Megatron, but Jetfire’s intervention gives Optimus the chance to subdue Megatron and kill Shockwave, before Jetfire is impaled and killed by Zeta Prime. As Optimus and Zeta engage in battle, Sean makes his way to the Harbinger, only to be stopped by Luke and Marcus, who prepares to kill Sean with a gun. George, piloting one of the downed Decepticon fighters, arrives and kills Marcus, leaving Sean to fight Luke, who manages to retrigger the Harbinger and flees, vowing to avenge his family. With Cybertron nearly entering earth’s orbit, George, realizing the Decepticon fighter’s gun missiles have been deactivated, says his final goodbyes to Sean, before crashing the fighter into the Harbinger, sacrificing himself and destroying the Harbinger, thus destroying the space bridge and, presumably, Cybertron in the process. Sean mourns his father’s death and is comforted by Carly, Chip, Reynolds and Marks.
