The human world is under attack by the Tyrannical Predacon leader, Magmatron. After losing his Predacon soldiers at the hands of Omega Supreme, he comes to the Human World in order to not only conquer the planet but also turn its inhabitants into his Predacon soldiers. But due to a mysterious relic known to Cybertron as the Genesis Cortex, the planet has been terraformed, transforming Earth into a techno-organic world and turning its inhabitants into Cybertronian protoforms. Now it is up to Sunset Shimmer, the new leader of the Maximals, and the rest of the Humane 7 to stop Magmatron and his Predacons from finding the Cortex and conquering the universe.
