Plot
Megatron is found in the Arctic Circle by Captian Witwicky, and he shoots a laser at the human, which scorches his glasses and blinds him. Decades later an unidentified helicopter lands in the Qatar base and turns into a giant robot, destroying the faciltiy, leaving a small group to escape with an image of him. The robot, Blackout sends out Scorponok to hunt down the survivors.
Elsewhere, in Tranquility Sam Witwicky buys an old Camaro, with a strange insignia on the steering wheel. In Qatar, the army guys look at the image and head out to find some way to warn the US about this attack, not knowing Scorponok is behind them. In Tranquility, Sam goes to the lake in his car, and starts bonding with Mikaela.
Frenzy, on Air Force One hacks into the military database and manages to get most of the data whilst also planting a virus and learns of the name Archibald Witwicky, all whilst killing some secret service guys. Sam's car goes out for a drive on it's own, which Sam follows, assuming it's being stolen, which leads him to find the car turning into a robot (Bumblebee), which is sending out a signal into the sky. Sam is attacked by some dogs, but Bumblebee rescues him, and goes into hiding before the police arrive, who believe Sam broke into the area.
Air Force One lands and Frenzy meets up with Barricade, telling him about Witwicky, and they track down Sam Witwicky, his descendant, whom has just been released from the police. In Qatar the team approaches a town when they are attacked by Scorponok, who kills some of the team, they make it to the town where they call in for help with an airstrike which blasts Scorponok, tearing off his tail, whilst he escapes.
Later, Barricade arrives in Tranquility, having tracked down Sam, whom is being followed by Bumblebee, freaking him out, Mikaela see's this and goes to see what's going on. Barricade catches Sam in a building and transforms, beginning to ask him where the glasses are (which he learned of through Sam's sales page on Ebay). San runs away and runs into Mikaela, both of them are rescued by Bumblebee who fights off the Decepticon in robot mode. Barricade sends out Frenzy to deal with the humans, afte a short battle, Frenzy is decapitated by Mikaela, whilst Barricade is thrown down a hole by Bumblebee.
Frenzy's head wakes up and it scans Mikaela's phone, taking it's place, whilst Bumblebee takes Sam and Mikaela with him. On the way, Bumblebee updates his alternate mode to a more modern version of a Camaro, when they see the other Autobots arrive on the planet in their comet forms. The Autobots take on their local alternate modes and meet up with Bumblebee and his human friends.
Optimus introduces the Autobots to the humans, and gives them a quick history lesson about Megatron and the Allspark, and tell Sam that his glasses hold the location to the Allspark that Megatron engraved on them. On the way home from Qatar, the survivors of the base attack realize that the sabot rounds are the only thing able to damage these things, and send that info to home base.
Sam returns home with the Autobots hiding around outside his house, causing some havoc, like damaging power lines etc, he finds the glasses, but Sector Seven appear and arrest him and his family. Frenzy's virus kicks in, and causes an information blackout on Earth, Sam and Mikaela are rescued by the Autobots from Sector Seven, but during the escape, Sam, Mikaela and Bumblebee are captured again, the Autobots find the glasses on the floor and Optimus decides to unite the Allspark with his spark if he cannot get it away from the Decepticons otherwise.
At the Pentagon, Keller is told all about S7 and the Transformers and has everyone involved in these events sent to Hoover Dam. Frenzy arrives at the dam in Mikaela's bag and escapes, sending out a call to the other Decepticons to come to his location. Everyone taken to Hoover Dam are brought to see Megatron's frozen body, where it's revealed that he's the source of all modern technology is derived from Megatron, and they learn that the Allspark is also there.
After a short while, the Decepticons arrive at the dam and attacks it. Megatron wakes up and goes looking for the Allspark. Bumblebee is freed from captivity, and he contracts the Allspark to a smaller form, and takes it with several Humans for safety into a city nearby. Megatron meest up with his Decepticons and has them chase Bumblebee. Barricade is knocked out on the highway, and Bonecrusher is killed by Optimus on the way. In the city, Lennox calls in for help in extracting the cube whilst a huge battle begins.
Bumblebee's legs are blasted off by Starscream and Megatron kills Jazz, before engaging Optimus in battle, Sam is given the Allspark to take to a high building for extraction, but is chased by Decepticons, Megatron fends off Optimus and then goes after Sam, smashing through buildings to get to him. Elsewhere, Bumblebee and Mikaela team up and manage to kill Brawl whilst Lennox uses a rocket launcher to kill Blackout.
Megatron corners Sam and the Allspark and smashes them off a building. Optimus catches him, but Megatron approaches them again, thinking fast though Sam thrusts the Allspark into Megatron's spark, killing him.
In the aftermath everyone is happy, despite Jazz's death, and Sam and Mikaela start to date. Sector 7 is decided to be disbanded at some point later, and the dead Transformers are dropped into the ocean. Optimus then sends out a message to the stars for any remaining Autobots out there to come to Earth.

Notes
- Being an adaptation, this comic basically follows the plot of the 2007 movie, but edits it to work better as a comic, some plot lines and characters were removed, like Glenn and Maggie's parts.
- As well as this, some scenes are edited to speed them up, or seem to be based on earlier concepts etc.
- Frenzy's fate is shown in Reign of Starscream
