In search of the energy block, Megatron came to Earth. In the Arctic, he was subjected to strong magnetic interference and was accidentally frozen under a layer of ice. With the help of a scientist who accidentally fell into the icy valley, Megatron scanned the information about the energy block onto the scientist's glasses. Megatron was secretly transferred by the US military to a secret base under the Hoover Dam, and this secret was only known to a seven-person military group composed of former defense ministers...
The advance team of "Decepticons", Cyclone and Scorpion, attacked the US military base in Qatar. The reappearance of the Transformers raised the awareness of the current Defense Minister, who organized a group of young computer experts to begin searching for the whereabouts of the "Decepticons". Meanwhile, Barricade helped his partner, Soundwave, infiltrate the President's aircraft Air One. Through the computer, they learned that in order to find Megatron, they must find the pair of glasses owned by the Witwicky family, making its current owner, Sam, the target of the "Decepticons'" attack.
