Plot[]

Before 17,000 B.C., the Dynasty of Primes harvested stars throughout the galaxy to create and replenish Energon. They only used the star-absorbing machines (called Star Harvesters) if the star was not supporting life. They agreed that no sun can be destroyed if one of its planets has life. In 17,000 B.C., one of the Primes violated this law by setting up a Harvester on Earth. The rest of the Dynasty named him the Fallen for this crime. They prevented the activation of the harvester, by sacrificing themselves, while hiding the "Matrix of Leadership", the key which can start the Harvester.

Now, two years after the defeat of Megatron, Sam Witwicky is packing to go to college. The Autobots have joined the U.S. military to create a classified team, NEST. This elite organization (from the United Kingdom and the United States) is led by Optimus Prime, Major William Lennox and General Morshower. Its purpose is to eradicate Decepticons anywhere on the globe. At home, Sam finds a shard of the AllSpark, which "uploads" its Cybertronian knowledge into Sam's mind. It also awakens the kitchen appliances. Sam gives the shard to his girlfriend Mikaela Banes for safekeeping and leaves his guardian Bumblebee at home.

In Shanghai, the NEST team encounters Demolishor and Sideways. Sideswipe and Optimus kill Demolishor and Sideways. The fierce battle destroys buildings in the city. Demolishor warns Optimus of the Fallen's return before his execution. Reporting to NEST's base in Diego Garcia, the Autobots are patronized by U.S. National Security Advisor Galloway for the battle damage in Shanghai.

Soundwave, the Decepticon's communications officer, hacks into a U.S. military satellite, and overhears both the location of Megatron's corpse and the AllSpark shard that Optimus removed from Megatron in the first film. After Ravage retrieves the AllSpark's shard, then Ravage goes on to the boat where he meets Mixmaster, Long Haul, Scrapmetal, and Rampage. who are four Constructicons as they transform, and all go into the water to save their fallen leader.

As they got closer, they see Megatron’s corpse, Ravage ejects Scalpel, and the small doctor says that he needs parts, so he asks Mixmaster and Long Haul to kill Scrapmetal by saying, "KILL ZE LITTLE ONE!” Making Scrapmetal yell out, "Wha? NOOOOOOO!" And Mixmaster and Long Haul kill poor Scrapmetal apart while he starts muffle screaming and wailing in pain, then, Scalpel uses the shard, it is used to resurrect Megatron's corpse at the Laurentian Abyss. Megatron then flies to the Decepticon flagship Nemesis, where the Fallen instructs him to kill Optimus and capture Sam, because Sam has knowledge that can lead the Decepticons to the Matrix of Leadership.

In college, Sam meets his roommate Leo Spitz, who owns a conspiracy website related to the Transformers' existence. Sam eventually starts seeing and scribbling visions of Cybertronian symbols and having a mental breakdown. At Mikaela's shop, Wheelie tries to steal the shard, but Mikaela captures him and leaves to see Sam in Princeton. She arrives just as Sam is attacked by the Pretender Alice. Mikaela, Sam and Leo flee and eventually kill Alice, but are then captured by the Decepticon Grindor, who drops them off in an abandoned warehouse where Megatron and Starscream were waiting. The Decepticons brutally torture Sam to obtain the whereabouts of the Matrix, but the only way to find it is to cut his head off to get to his brain. Optimus and Bumblebee arrive and battle the Decepticons, with Optimus taking Sam into a forest where the Decepticons battle him. Optimus is badly wounded but manages to kill Grindor and wound Starscream by ripping his arm off, before Optimus is killed by Megatron. The humans flee with Bumblebee and the Autobot twins, Skids and Mudflap. The NEST team, shocked by their loss, brings Optimus' body to their New Jersey base. Galloway arrives with the news that NEST is being decommissioned after the arrival of the Decepticons.

Meanwhile, the Decepticons kidnap Sam's parents in Paris. The Fallen taps into media signals and broadcasts a demand that the people of Earth deliver Sam to the Decepticons or be annihilated. Leo suggests to Sam that his online rival "RoboWarrior" may be able to help. When the trio find him, they discover that RoboWarrior is actually Agent Simmons from the now defunct Sector Seven. Simmons reveals that the Transformers have been on Earth for millennia and convinces Wheelie to reveal a group of Transformers known as the Seekers. They find and transform the SR-71 Blackbird who is named Jetfire. Originally a Decepticon, Jetfire reveals to have changed sides to the Autobots, and teleports the group to Egypt.

Following several clues, the trio find the Tomb of the Primes in Petra. When Sam touches the Matrix it crumbles to dust, but Sam puts the sand in a pouch. The Decepticons arrive and battle the Autobots and NEST, who are aided by the United States Marine Corps, Egyptian and Jordanian military forces. 8 Construction vehicles arrive, all showing Decepticon insignias, turning out to be the Constructicons, they joined together into a gargantuan Decepticon named Devastator, (Mixmaster transforms sharp teeth and a monstrous face, Scavenger transforms into a torso with a vortex grinder for grinding things, Scrapper's shovel splits into 3 fingers, Hightower transforms a shoulder piece so he can be held by Scavenger's left shovel, Scrapmetal's shovel becomes 4 fingers and connects with Hightower, Overload, Long Haul and Skipjack transform into the Waist, Right Leg and Left Leg and connect to the bottom from Scavenger) who all came together and attacked Skids, Mudflap and Simmons and uncovers the Star Harvester from a pyramid but is killed by a railgun strike ordered by Simmons. Epps orders an air strike from F-16s, A-10s, a B-1 Lancer, and a F-35 Lightning taking out all of the Decepticons. Sam makes a run for Optimus Prime's body but is shot and killed by Megatron before the Decepticon is overwhelmed and flees. Before dying, in limbo, Sam is told by the Dynasty of the Primes that the Matrix of Leadership is not a physical item to be found, but a right that he has earned.

Sam is resurrected from the dead, and when the Matrix reforms itself from the sand in his pouch, he resurrects Optimus. The Fallen then teleports, grabs the Matrix and flies to activate the Star Harvester. After an attack by their artillery and air support fails due to the Fallen's telekinesis, Jetfire offers his parts to Optimus before dying of wounds inflicted by Scorponok. Using a battle armor made with Jetfire's remains, Optimus destroys the Harvester, defeats Megatron and kills the Fallen. Megatron, who has been severely damaged in the battle, follows Starscream's suggestion and retreats. The Autobots, NEST, Sam, and his friends return to the US, where Sam continues to attend college.

Errors[]

  1. Before Ravage lands on the boat, Scrapmetal was a Caterpillar 992G Front Loader instead of a Volvo EC700C Excavator but after Ravage lands on the boat with he was back to being a Volvo EC700C Excavator, But another error is that Rampage is Yellow, but when Rampage transformed and being thrown into the water by Long Haul he was red again.
  2. When Scrapmetal was being dragged by Mixmaster and Long Haul he has treads on his feet.
  3. Rampage, Grindor, Scrapmetal, Scrapper, Mixmaster, Long Haul, and other Protoforms lines are garbled and hard to hear.
  4. When Bonecrusher opens fire, his claw was not showing it was folded on his back.
  5. Considering how Hasbro confirmed Scrapmetal to be the Yellow Bulldozer, when the Constructicons were about to form into Devastator, Scrapmetal was a Volvo EC700C Excavator instead of a Caterpillar M930 Bulldozer.
  6. People think that Devastator was made by 9 or 10 but he was actually made by 8 Constructicons not 9.
  7. In the Battle Of Egypt, Sometimes cuts to the Devastator attack scene, then cuts back to the Battle of Egypt, instead after Sam dies.
  8. Some Voice Actors forgot to voice Jolt, Prime 4, Prime 6, Scorponok, Sideways, Hatchlings, Mixmaster, Long Haul, Scrapmetal, Scrapper, and Appliancebots, including Jimmie Wood, who forgot to voice Bonecrusher.
