Plot
At a military base in Qatar, an unidentified chopper lands. The men at the base go to investigate when suddenly, the chopper transformers into a giant robot and launches a deadly attack. Ultimately, only a small group of soldiers survive and escape while the base is blown apart.

The soldiers wander the desert and comes across an abandoned town. While investigating, they are attacked by another alien lifeform, Ravage, which bursts from the sand and claims several of them before retreating.

We are then introduced to Daniel Witwicky, who's father is taking him to buy his first car. They arrive at the used car lot and Daniel quickly takes a liking to a 1976 Chevrolet Camaro, which he buys. He then tries to use the car to woo his crush Carly Spencer, but she is held back by her obnoxious boyfriend.

Later that night, Carly arrives at Daniel's door, wishing to take the ride from him. They drive to an old factory to hang out but are suddenly attacked by another one of the alien robots. Suddenly, Daniel's car transforms into one of them and fights the attacker off. He then signals his allies and they soon arrive on Earth.

The car drives Daniel and Carly to a meeting place with the other robots and introduces them to their leader; Optimus Prime. Prime explains that they are Autobots; alien robots from the distant planet Cybertron. Years ago, the people of Cybertron lived in peace until Megatron, the leader of the evil Decepticons, tried to steal a powerful atrifact known as the One. Subsequently, a war broke out and drained Cybertron of life. Optimus introduces the other Autobots; Ironhide, Ratchet, Jazz and they already know Bumblebee. Optimus then states that the One is on Earth and the Decepticons have come to claim it.
