On planet Earth, Bumblebee is saved by his old partner Windblade, the latter having ventured to Earth from Cybertron through a Spacebridge to search for the mystical AllSpark. Bumblebee, however, has no memory of her or who he is. Windblade then questions Bumblebee, discovering the latter has amnesia. She is then attacked by a Decepticon Seeker named Thundercracker. Despite her best efforts, the Seeker overpowers her. Bumblebee intervenes, diverting Thundercracker's attention before beating him back with assistance from Windblade. Heading off to a deserted location, Windblade attempts to enter Bumblebee's mind via a psychic patch only for the attempt to fail. | |||||||

While Thundercracker and another Seeker, Nova Storm, fly across the desert, they notice an energy blast from Windblade's failed attempt to enter Bumblebee's mind and advance on the Autobots' location. The two Autobots engage the Seekers with Windblade holding them off until she and Bumblebee escape. Having an idea from the encounter, the two Autobots head off to find the Seekers' ship. Breaking into the ship to use it for more computing power, Windblade attempts to use the psychic patch procedure on Bumblebee again, hoping to learn the location of the Autobot ship called the Ark through Bumblebee's memories. Windblade only unscrambles the moment the Ark launched, but through that memory, Bumblebee manages to remember who Windblade is. Unfortunately, another Decepticon, Seeker Commander Starscream, contacts the ship with an oblivious Bumblebee responding to Starscream's call. | |||||||

With the Decepticons fully aware of the Autobots' presence on Earth, Windblade and Bumblebee hijack the ship and fly it to a radio tower to shake off their pursuers. Taking advantage of the cover, Windblade psychically directs Bumblebee to more memories concerning the war back on their home planet, Cybertron, the former leading the latter to remember the AllSpark, a powerful artifact responsible for the creation of their race. Bumblebee then remembers how the AllSpark saved his life while he was carrying it to a safe location to hide it. He also recalls the battle against the Decepticons in which his old friend and leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime, ejected the AllSpark from Cybertron by throwing it into a Spacebridge. Remembering his commander's name, Bumblebee is assured by Windblade that Optimus is still out there. | |||||||

There, the group encounters swarms of dangerous cave-dwelling insect-like creatures though they also find a pool of Energon. As the Autobots try to fend off the cave creatures coming for them, Optimus realises that the creatures, who also feed on Energon, were trying to defend their source of food and decides to leave them in peace. Upon returning to the Ark with his team, Optimus orders all Autobots to enter stasis to conserve their energy while the ship scans for the AllSpark. Back in the present and in his mind, Bumblebee resolves to find the Ark. | |||||||

Windblade, despite searching Bumblebee's memories, is unable to find any useful information on the location of the Ark, only finding a clue through a memory of an icy mountainside. Heading off to the Himalayas, Windblade uncovers an empty stasis pod underneath the snow but ends up getting trailed and captured by the Seekers who picked up on her conversation with Bumblebee. Their captain, Slipstream, interrogates Windblade for the location of the other Autobots but the latter breaks free and fends off the Decepticons before escaping.

Finally, when Optimus confronts Megatron, the latter declares war on Optimus and his followers. As the war between the Autobots and Decepticons on Cybertron raged on, Bumblebee goes on a mission to spy on Megatron but is caught by two Decepticons, Soundwave and Shadow Striker. Megatron reveals his plans to use the supercomputer Vector Sigma and the AllSpark to create a new generation of Decepticons to Bumblebee before tearing out the latter's voice box.

The trio then discover that the Plague of Rust is rapidly infecting Velocitron, having been brought in by an infected bot arriving there. As the group takes refuge in Blurr's hideout, they are discovered by an infected Velocitronian, causing Blurr to send Hot Rod and Bumblebee to the Spacebridge to escape Velocitron. While Bumblebee and Hot Rod escape, Blurr, having been infected as well, disintegrates but not before he shuts down the Spacebridge to prevent any further infection on other Cybertronian territories.

Later during the war, Maccadam prevents an imminent brawl in his bar when a Decepticon named Deadlock (who would change his name to Drift) tried to defect to the Autobots.

Teletraan-X, despite being blasted by Shadow Striker, manages to fully upload itself into the Ark's systems in place of the permanently deactivated Teletraan-1. Meanwhile, Shockwave causes a volcanic eruption to destroy the ship and its crew though it inadvertently turns the tide of the battle in the Autobots' favor.

The freed Windblade reveals that the entity that possessed her, a Titan named Croaton, had come to the planet to colonize it but its population was kidnapped by an unknown force which left Croaton for dead. As such, he took advantage of the Ark's arrival to sense the AllSpark and get Windblade to retrieve it for him to aid his recovery. Croaton thanks the Autobots before heading off to find his missing colonists while Starscream, who earlier escaped captivity by tricking Teletraan-X, crashes into Croaton and ends up getting dragged off into space. | |||||||

Finding Clobber and Hot Rod at one of Shockwave's old labs, he attacks the latter, having assumed that the Autobots were responsible for bringing the Quintessons to Cybertron. Even though Hot Rod explains everything, also mentioning how he evaded capture and that he found Perceptor who freed himself from the loop much earlier, Dead End remains unconvinced until the Quintessons and their troops, the Prosecutors, find the three Cybertronians and chase them. The trio are only able to shake off their pursuers when they hide out at Maccadam's bar. | |||||||

Perceptor meets up with the four Cybertronians again, having an arm decapitated and discovered the inner workings of Iaconus as well.

Even when their team heads out to combat a Quintesson squad, Hot Rod and Soundwave still have different ideas on how to lead. During the fight, Soundwave freezes again, causing the resistance to come to his rescue, during which, they also bring in a Sharkticon working for the Quintessons as their bailiff.

A resistance squad led by Optimus Prime initiates an operation to carry a bomb to breach the Quintesson forcefield, but the Quintesson forces overpower the team and destroy the bomb.
