The Transformers: The Movie

En 2005, la guerre entre les Autobots et les Decepticons a culminé avec la conquête par les Decepticons de leur planète Cybertron, tandis que les Autobots opèrent depuis ses deux lunes pour préparer une contre-offensive. Optimus Prime envoie une navette Autobot à la Cité Autobot sur Terre pour s'approvisionner en Energon, mais les Decepticons, menés par Megatron, réquisitionnent le vaisseau et tuent l'équipage, composé de Ironhide, Ratchet, Prowl et Brawn. En voyageant vers la Terre, les Decepticons attaquent la Cité des Autobots, massacrant de nombreux Autobots et ne laissant en vie qu'un petit groupe comprenant Rodimus, Kup (Transformers), Ultra Magnus, Arcee, Springer (Transformers), Blurr, Perceptor, Blaster (Transformers), et l'humain Daniel Witwicky. Le lendemain, Optimus et les Dinobots arrivent en renfort. Optimus bat les Decepticons à lui seul et engage Megatron dans une bataille décisive qui les laisse tous deux mortellement blessés. Sur son lit de mort, Optimus transmet la Matrice de leadership à Ultra Magnus, l'informant que son pouvoir éclairera l'heure la plus sombre des Autobots, et meurt.

Em meados de 2005, os Autobots e os Decepticons ainda estão em guerra, mas uma nova força mortal está prestes a ameaçá-los. O gigantesco planeta assassino Unicron está cada vez mais perto da Terra e pretende destruí-la. Com isto, os heroicos Autobots decidem lutar pela sua própria sobrevivência e enfrentar a mais nova ameaça ao planeta.

In 2005, the war between the Autobots and Decepticons has culminated in the Decepticons conquering their home planet Cybertron, while the Autobots operate from its two moons preparing a counter-offensive. Optimus Prime sends an Autobot shuttle to Earth's Autobot City for Energon supplies, but the Decepticons, led by Megatron, commandeer the ship and kill the crew, consisting of Ironhide, Ratchet, Prowl and Brawn. Travelling to Earth, the Decepticons attack Autobot City, slaughtering many Autobots and leaving only a small group alive including Rodimus, Kup (Transformers), Ultra Magnus, Arcee, Springer (Transformers), Blurr, Perceptor, Blaster (Transformers), and the human Daniel Witwicky. The next day, Optimus and the Dinobots arrive as reinforcements. Optimus single-handedly defeats the Decepticons and engages Megatron in a climactic battle that leaves both of them mortally wounded. On his deathbed, Optimus passes the Matrix of Leadership to Ultra Magnus, informing him that its power will light the Autobots' darkest hour, and dies.
