It is the much awaited sequel to War for Cybertron and continues the story of the Autobots and the Decepticons' bitter civil war, but changes and improves upon so many of the fundamental ideas that the developer considers the game a natural successor rather than a true sequel.

Plot
The game begins on the Ark as the Decepticons are raiding it hoping do destroy it and the Autobots forever. The player takes control of Bumblebee from his perspective of the battle, which mostly consisted of taking out Decepticons inside the ship and dodging tow cables. 6 days before the takeoff of the Ark, Grimlock leaves his guard post and the Decepticons attack the spaceport it was located at. As Optimus Prime, the player defends the spaceport and ends up finding the guns used to defend it came from Metroplex. The next missions sees Prime and Metroplex syncing targeting software and repelling the rest of the attack. As Metroplex comes to destroy the last major artillery unit, it shoots him before he can touch it, so Optimus goes to destroy it himself. In the process he ends up getting captured by Starscream, who brings him to Megatron. Just as Megatron is about to destroy the Ark, Metroplex comes back online and fatally wounds Megatron. During the attack, Cliffjumper, Jazz, and Sideswipe go searching for where Grimlock was last known to be, in the Sea of Rust. In the Sea of Rust they find what appears to be the last reservoir of raw Energon, with the Decepticons sucking it dry to fuel what appears to be a space bridge. Optimus orders the energon to be picked up and taken to the Ark, as they depleted most of it defending the spaceport. While the transport is going through the Hydrax Canyons, Vortex and Brawl destroy a bridge that it was supposed to pass over, rerouting it to an a Decepticon, Starscream-led ambush. As the 'cons are assaulting the transport, Starscream calls it off but the rest of the Combaticons push on and manage to capture it, with half as much as it was transporting before the assault. Starscream gets mad and has them arrested. Th next chapter shows Soundwave reconstructing Megatron as he was not killed by Metroplex. As a first for the game series, you see Megatron's resurrection first person through his eyes until he gets out of his restraints, this also happens at the end of the game if you choose him in the final battle. The first thing he does is go to ruin Starscream's coronation, to prove to him and the rest of the Decepticons that he is alive and well. Since he is back in power, he leads an assault on the location where Trypticon and give him to his the alternate mode called Nemesis. Starscream, acting like a kid that doesn't get what he wants as usual, tries to destroy Shockwave's lab/tower to get his respect back. In the process, he tries to get Grimlock on his side by freeing him and having Grimlock's allegiance, but Grimlock uses him (literally) to free himself. Grimlock, the hulking, dinosaur-level-intelligence robot he is, goes rampaging through the lab, trying to remember what Shockwave did to him and finding the rest of his team. The team ends up destroying the space bridge tower, making the portal unstable for an unknown time until it collapses. Metroplex sacrifices most of his spark to help the Autobots make it to the portal. The last mission, titled: Till All Are One, sees the player playing multiple characters during the assault on the Ark. Such as Soundwave, Jetfire, Bruticus, Jazz, and either Optimus or Megatron, depending on what the player chooses. The last half of the mission consists of the final Optimus vs Megatron fight on the Ark. As they are about dead, both ships reach the portal as it closing tearing most of the ship apart. The last cut-scene show the ships entering the portal and it collapsing.
