On September 17, 1984,
everything on Earth changed.
But we begin on Cybertron.
[grand orchestral music]
A planet light years away
populated by heroic Autobots
and dastardly Decepticons.
- Dad, isn't that
oversimplifying things
a little?
- Hey, who's telling this story?
An epic battle raged
between both sides
The mighty Optimus Prime
versus the cruel Megatron.
[in deep voice]
One shall stand.
One shall fall.
- Ooh! Can I do Megatron?
- Mm-hmm.
- [in deep voice] Why throw
away your life so recklessly?
- Enter Bumblebee, the
most daring, most brave
- We get it, Dad.
He's your favorite.

Bumblebee held the
line on Cybertron.
- I got this, you guys!

Okay, bye-bye, thanks.

And, if you can
Bumblebee-lieve it,
Bee showed up again too!
- Hey, guys!
- But Megatron and
his Decepticons
threatened to crush
everything in their path.
So to protect the universe,
Optimus destroyed
his only way home
The Space Bridge
[energy crackles]
With the hope that
humans and Cybertronians
could live together in peace.
- [in deep voice] Huh.
Maybe this Optimus
guy has a point.
- The Transformers
war was finally over.
[birds chirping]
- Dad, what happened
to Bumblebee?
- He was never heard from again.
But Bee might still
be alive somewhere!
Like I always say,
Bee an Optimist
Prime, not a Negatron.
[Mo giggles]
- Uh, thanks for the story, Dad.
- [sniffles] Oh. I'm gonna
need another burrito.
- Well? Wasn't that epic?
[energy whirs]
- I'm getting confusion?
- It's just that even
if we are Transformers,
we don't feel like
part of their story.
Or fight.
- Yeah.
I mean, we can be
warriors later.
Right now, I want to

working with Transformers.
