The game takes place three years after Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Bumblebee is sent somewhere in South America to plant Wheeljack's virus to a Decepticon transmitter that is listen to the Autobots' transmissions with NEST, which he does with the assistance of Optimus Prime and Sideswipe. Then, in Detroit, the city is attacked by a small army of Decepticons lead by the Constructicon Mixmaster. Autobot second-in-command Ironhide is sent to destroy all Decepticons with the help of medical officer Ratchet. Ironhide kills most of the Decepticons and Mixmaster with an experimental rocket launcher, which was given by Wheeljack. Somewhere in South America, Sideswipe disappears in the jungle so Mirage is sent to meet Bumblebee, but he encounters the vicious Decepticon second-in-command Starscream and is knocked out by him by getting thrown through the ground. Mirage wakes up to find himself in the jungle after being knocked out and does not have his ability's to transform and use his weapons, but he does gets his abilities back after sneaking to a crashed NEST helicopter and get a supply drop containing his weaponry. He does find Sideswipe with the help of Bumblebee. Meanwhile, Megatron orders Soundwave to go to a former Sector Seven base on an island with Laserbeak. They find knowledge of a crash on the moon during the 1960s and an advanced technology called MechTech, which Soundwave destroys them by triggering an volcano eruption before escaping the base. Starscream is sent to Nepal to find and destroy the remaining MechTech that is about to be airlifted by the massive Aerialbot named Stratosphere from a NEST facility somewhere in the snowy mountain range. Then, he fights the other Aerialbots, consisting of Air Raid, Breakaway and Silverbolt. Starscream mercilessly kills them, along with Stratosphere who is carrying the technology and takes a piece of the MechTech. Starscream returns to the Decepticon base in Siberia, but he doesn't know that the Autobots put a tracker on the weapon he took. The Autobots invade the base while that is happening, Megatron gets a truck mode and fights and kills Warpath, the Autobot brute who transforms into a tank. Megatron then finds a cryotube holding a frozen Shockwave , the infamous Decepticon assassin and scientist. Meanwhile, he fights Optimus Prime, eventually taking him down and kicking him into a pit holding Shockwave and the Driller, a giant worm-beast like robot who only works under Shockwave's command. Prime fights both of them before they flee. Optimus then claims that the battle is won, but he knows that the war is far from over. Somewhere in Africa, Megatron and the Decepticons meet and launch "Operation Pillar".
