The world is at war - and the Transformers are at the forefront of the battle This is not Independence Day. Even though the nations of Earth face their greatest threat, the issues that have divided mankind for centuries destroy any true hope of global unity against the invaders. Cities and governments fall, and the giant titans of Cybertron fight one another as often as they clash with the attacking aliens - a race of techno-organic giants that not even the heroic Optimus Prime or the villainous Megtron can hope to defeat But what neither side knows is that the invaders are being controlled by a shadowy and far more dangerous race, one that awaits its opportunity to claim the Earth for itself.
