The Decepticons withdraw from Autobot City within Astrotrain. Optimus Prime's body loses color as he dies. It drops from Optimus's hands and is caught by Hot Rod, who hands it to Ultra Magnus. On his deathbed, Optimus passes the Matrix of Leadership to Ultra Magnus, telling him that its power will light the Autobots' darkest hour. Optimus defeats many of them and then engages Megatron in brutal combat, leaving both mortally wounded. Optimus arrives with reinforcements just as the Decepticons are near victory.
In Autobot City, Hot Rod, relaxing with Daniel Witwicky (son of Spike Witwicky) spots the hijacked shuttle and a deadly battle breaks out. However, their plan is discovered by the Decepticons, who kill the crew (Ironhide, Prowl, Ratchet, Brawn) and hijack the ship. Autobot leader Optimus Prime sends a shuttle to Autobot City on Earth for supplies. The heroic Autobots, operating from Cybertron's two moons, prepare a counter-offensive.
In 2005, the evil Decepticons have conquered the Autobots' home planet of Cybertron. Several critics greatly favor the original over the live-action films Den of Geek remembered it as "The Great Toy Massacre of 1986" which "traumatized a generation of kids with a string of startling deaths", and as "a milestone in animation history". The film gained cult classic status decades later with many home re-releases and theatrical screenings, especially coinciding with Michael Bay's live-action series in the 2000s. Contemporary critics were generally negative, perceiving a thin plot made of blatant advertising and violent action appealing only to children. The film was a box-office failure, having been released in a season crowded with hit films, and having a failing young distribution company, De Laurentiis Entertainment Group (DEG). The slaughter of characters, especially Optimus Prime, inadvertently upset the young audience.

Hasbro's exclusively toy-focused agenda demanded a product refresh, to be contrived by the on-screen extermination of starring characters, at the protest of some creators of the film and TV series. The Autobots are hunted across the galaxy by Unicron, a planet-sized Transformer intending to consume Cybertron and who transfigures Megatron to become the enslaved Galvatron. With Megatron gravely injured, the Decepticons are forced to retreat, saving the Autobots. After a Decepticon assault devastates Autobot City, Optimus Prime wins a deadly one-on-one duel with Megatron, but ultimately sustains fatal injuries in the encounter.
The story is set in 2005, 20 years after the TV series' second season.
