Plot
Season 1
After the Great Exodus of Cybertron Team Prime lives on Earth in a abandoned missile silo in an alliance with the United States government as Earth's defense team against the Decepticons. Though the Decepticons vanished for three years, the death of Cliffjumper has signaled their return. On top of that three human kids have discovered their existence and are now under their protection. Along the way the autobots government liasion Agent Fowler also helps to keep there secret from the outside world. The Autobots succeeded in stopping Megatron's plan to bring an army of zombies from Cybertron with a vile power known as Dark Energon, leaving Starscream in command in his absence.
The Autobot's were forced to deal with Starscream's schemes to stop the Autobots which lead to many near death experiences. However Megatron was soon revived and took back command on his mission to find Energon and powerful weapons across the world. In addition, the Autobots must contend with MECH lead by Silas who are obsessed with obtaining the Autobot's technologies which leads to Jack's mom discovering their existence too. New characters include Autobot's Wheeljack (a minor character) and the deceased Tailgate as well as the Decepticons Knock Out, Breakdown, Airachnid and the deceased Makeshift and Skyquake. Jack's friend Sierra also also makes certain appearances in the show. Nearing the end of the season, Starscream goes rouge. However the god of chaos Unicron emerged and threatened Earth, forcing the Autobots and Megatron to team up, and stop Unicron. Though they succeeded, Optimus was left with amnesia and believed himself to be his former self "Orion Pax".
Season 2
Megatron took advantage of this development and had "Orion Pax" find powerful weapons of mass destruction in a Iacon file. However Jack and Arcee embarked on an adventure on Cybertron itself to restore the power of the Matrix in the Key to Vector Sigma to restore Optimus's memory. Now the Autobot's battle Megatron over possession of the Iacon relics buried on Earth, that "Orion Pax" started decoding. They also occasionally deal with a rouge Starscream. Aricahnid also goes rouge, kills Breakdown and briefly threatened both sides but Arcee was able to lock her away in stasis. In addition, the Autobots must deal with two of MECH's plans. First is "Project: Chimera" an experiment to create an Optimus Prime clone under Silas control which was stopped. The second one was Silas mind being merged with Decepticon Breakdown who gave the Decepticons "Project: Damocles", a satellite in orbit that shoots lasers. MECH is also disbanded since Silas murdered his own men and was killed himself by Knock Outs dissection crew.
Near the end of the season, Alpha Trion sends Optimus Prime a message through the Star Saber sword, telling him of four Omega Keys which can revive Cybertron itself. However thanks to Starscream, the Decepticons obtained all four and made their way to Cybertron to reformat Cybertron in their own image. However the Autobots are able to make it to Cybertron thanks to Dreadwing handing over the Forge of Solus Prime after loosing confidence in the cause but is killed when attempting to kill Starscream. After a prolonged battle, the Decepticons activate the Omega Lock using Jack, Miko and Raf as hostages. However Megatron tries to use this weapon to reformat Earth into a new Cybertron but Optimus makes a daring risk and destroys the lock. However back on Earth, the Autobots base location is discovered and Megatron uses the Nemesis to destroy it. As of now, the Autobots and humans are scattered in different parts of the United States, Wheeljack and Optimus Primes fates are unknown.
New characters include Autobot Elite Guard rookie Smokescreen and Thirteen member Alpha Trion. New Decepticon characters include Dreadwing, Shockwave, and the Insecticon hive a member of whom is Hardshell. Wheeljack returns and becomes a recurring character and Cliffjumper plays a major part in a flashback episode.

Notes
- What Transformers Animated had in chins, this show has in eyebrows. As well as pupils since animated.
- There are both Autobot and Decepticon crashed ships, energon crystals scattered around the planet, tombs of ancient Decepticon warriors, various random alien artifacts lying around, and an entire graveyard of rusting alien robots. Why hasn't anybody on Earth investigated these?
- Once again the transformers are seen to be able to survive in space unaided while the cold temperatures of the arctic will incapacitate them.
- It is established in Scrapheap that it is not the temperature, but rather the frost that damages Cybertronian systems.
- In the cartoon, Earth appears to be the repository for ancient relics that were jettisoned into space in order to protect them from the Decepticons as dozens, maybe hundreds, can be found on the planet.
- It has been revealed in Alpha Omega that Alpha Trion, who as chronicler of events in time both past and future saw in advance, knew that Optimus would end up on Earth and so sent the artifacts there in an attempt, not to keep them away from Megatron, but to put them in reach of Optimus in hopes that they would assist him in his fight against Megatron.
- In case you didn't know, this series picks up where the two games and novel left off.
- Well, not so much the game, it is similar in some ways to Exodus, but is a separate fictional splinter in the Aligned timeline. The novel seems closer to what is established in the cartoon, particularly when compared to One Shall Rise, Part 1 and One Shall Rise, Part 3. It does kinda goes right after the event of transformers animated since it is the sequel. As well as the game to.
- If you did not see the War for Cybertron page, you will see a link that shows it was made for the G1 series, but yes I get the Dark Energon doesn't match up.
- The Decepticons in the show have made a strange change in policy. Where as previously they have disregarded any attempt at hiding from humanity, the Decepticons of Prime have shown a desire to remove traces of their existence.
- The show bears many visual resemblances to the Halo game series. The symbol on the floor of the Decepticon's second Space Bridge is very similar to the symbol of the Forerunners, the Vector Sigma Chamber resembles the control room for Alpha Halo, and the Space Bridge itself resembles the Halos.
- Most of the main cast Decepticons in the show appear to bear a specific body shape in common, that is large, bulky, and brutish. The only exceptions to this rule seen thus far (Soundwave, Knock Out, Airachnid, and Starscream) appear to be abnormal in some way. Knockout is overly obsessed with his appearance, Soundwave is permanently silent, Airachnid is a rouge and is female, and Starscream is traitorous and conniving.
