Million years ago, in a distant corner of universe, a metal planet called Cybertron, life existed in form of giant-intelligent sentient robots who could feel and transform themselves into different form of vehicles and weapons, they are called Transformers (created by secret race of multi-faced aliens called Quintessons). A city was inhabited by races divided into two clans engaged in a war over supremacy – the heroic Autobots (transform into cars) led by Optimus Prime wishing peaceful co-existence between everyone and evil Decepticons(transform into military hardware) led by Megatron sought conflict and military dominations. With energon supplies running low, Autobots built & launched Ark spacecraft to locate new source of energy while Decepticons aboard space-cruiser Nemesis attacked/sabotaged the Ark resulting both ships crash landing in pre-historic Earth (Ark into side of dormant volcano while Nemesis into remote region of South America), both buried underground and all robots were deactivated. Four million years later, in 1984 a volcanic eruption bring ships into surface reawakening automatic system computer (Teletraan I), repair & modified both transformers to mimic Earth, and the clans continue the war now more ferociously where Decepticons wished to drain Earth resources & enslave humanity while Autobots committed themselves stopping them and protecting human race.
