When a U.S. Special Ops Command Centre is destroyed in Qatar, the U.S. Government has no idea who or what is responsible. Meanwhile, Sam Witwicky is a normal teenager who buys his first car only to find that it is an autonomous robotic organism that, along with a small group of other Autobots, has found him in order to protect a map that protects their existance and that of earth. Elsewhere, a surviving squad of 7 men from the base attack notify the U.S. Government of their attackers, only to find that a secret government division has known of their existance all along, Sector 7. Working together with the human race, the Autobots must protect the All Spark, and prevent the Decepticons from destroying earth.
