(Optimus Prime's POV)
In the years since our arrival, our new home, Earth, has seen much change. Energon detectors guard its cities now. Long-range defense system watch the skies.
So now we assist our allies, n solving human conflicts, to prevent mankind from bringing harm to itself.

Four Autobots, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Dino, and Que, were driving in Chernobyl. The people who are there opens the gates for the Autobots. As the Autobots drove pass them, Dino transformed right in front of them.
"Yah. Ha-ha! On the ground, per favore! And stay there!" Dino said
Bumblebee took out a missile and fired a few of them.
Optimus and Ratchet arrived at an abandoned area in Chernobyl. And so did Lennox and the other NEST team members.
(Optimus Prime's POV)
We work in secret teams on various missions around the globe. And all the while, we search for signs... of our true enemies' return.

"I am Voshkod, General Counsel with Ukrainian Department of Energy. My government will officially deny that we're having this conversation. At one of our decommissioned facilities, a, uh, discovery was made, which I fear may be... alien in nature. The facility's name is... Chernobyl"
"Mr Voshkod. So, uninhabited since '86. I hear it won't be livable again for another twenty thousand years?" said Lennox
"At least. Ukraine was the most fertile land. It's a tragedy. This way" Voshkod said
"Gear up! We have sixty minutes on the ground. Watch your radiation levels" Lennox announced. "Mr Voshkod, where's your protective gear?"
"It would not matter. For me, it's only a matter of time. Through the school" Voshkod said. "Yuri will take you below And one other thing, Colonel. In private... there were some energy experiments-"
Voshkod sees and hears a soft growling noise that came from a bird-like Decepticon named Laserbeak.
"It can wait" said Voshkod before he left
Lennox and the soldiers went moving on the Energon source in a abandoned warehouse. When they reached to the basement of the warehouse, they all found something.
"Optimus, we got a visual" said Lennox. "Looks like the object's clamped in some kind of a metal harness"
"What's this?" said a NEST Soldier. "Guys! Why does this thing have Soviet space program markings on it?"
"Sputnik?" Lennox said
"Energon readings, sir. It's strong... below us. It's coming fast"
The soldiers heard noises coming from the ground and coming out of the ground was worm-like Decepticon named Driller.
The soldiers began shooting at Driller and as they were shooting, Driller stole an object and left with it. The soldiers ran outside to find Driller.
Outside, Optimus Prime was driving next to the warehouse and Driller was crashing through the roof of the warehouse, over and over again. Then, Driller landed in front of Optimus and Optimus transformed into robot mode and so did his trailer. The soldiers ran outside, where Optimus is.
"Stay behind me!" said Optimus as he grabbed his weapons
The soldiers began shooting at Driller and Optimus was cutting Driller's parts. Optimus cut one of Driller's parts, which had the object that Driller was holding.
Coming out of Driller was a one-eyed Decepticon named Shockwave. Optimus sees them but Shockwave and Driller left.
"What the hell was that thing?" said Lennox
"That . . . is Shockwave" said Optimus
"Why was he after this?" said Lennox, looking at the object
"It's impossible" said Optimus as he looked at the object. "This is an engine part . . . from a long lost Autobot ship"
Voshkod was running to his car and Laserbeak was watching him run. Voshkod gets in his car and tries to start it. Laserbeak crashes through a window and began shooting at the windshield of Voshkod's car and Voshkod is dead.
"Pleasure working with you" said Laserbeak
