The Age of Renewal, also known as the Age of Reconstruction or the Bronze Age, was the time period after the Second Cybertronian Civil War, during which Cybertron grappled with the challenges of maintaining the planet's newfound prosperity and bringing their race back to the days of the Golden Age.

The nascently-formed Republic of Cybertron begins development of a new form of faster-than-light travel to replace the long-abandoned Space Bridge technology.

After many tests, the Cybertronians finishes the development of the first Transwarp Drive, a new type of hyperdrive technology that propels a spacecraft to traverse vast intergalactic distances almost instantaneously. At the city-state of Unitrex, the first starship to be outfitted with a Transwarp Drive is a small freighter dubbed the Unitrex-1 (better known in the modern day as the Lost Light, the personal flagship of Rodimus Prime). The launch of the Unitrex-1 proves to be a success as the freighter makes a quick trip from Cybertron to the nearest colony world of Arduria and back in less than a day. Impressed, Nominus Prime commissions the creation of a fleet of starships, both civilian and military vessels, equipped with Transwarp Drives.

The success of the Transwarp Drive marks the start of the Neo-Colonial Period as Cybertron once again turns its attentions to reclaiming and expanding its extraplanetary territories. Notable colonies founded under the Republic of Cybertron's flag include Opulus, Messatine, Croteus XII, Athenia, Kimia, Planet V, Zone, Rigel, Praun, Daffodil II, Omicron, Beacon, Mayalx, Hill'Frayka, Olterhex, Distanna-2, Jyura, Verde VII, Aetorr, Palifex, Skomiloch, Castor Forges, Knerax Minor, Hexagon, Paryadisou, Onyx, B'kn, and Pyritron.

The strictures of the caste system begin to relax as the population of Cybertron stabilizes. The Senate and the Functionist High Council debates removing the system completely but decides that with all the colonization efforts underway it's too soon to remove all semblance of control over the planet's infrastructure.

The Drone Wars: Cybertron Security Operations detects a collection of artificial objects entering the outer reaches of the Republic of Cybertron. Further investigation reveals that they are warships belonging to the Vestial Imperium, an empire of expansionist mechanoids that occupied a significant region of the Milky Way and now sought to annex Cybertron into their empire after hearing tales of the AllSpark's power from space travelers. The Cybertronian Armed Forces make a valiant effort to defend the colonies, but are beaten back by the Vestial Imperium's superior war machines. In order to gain the upper hand in the war, the Senate constitutes the Vehicon Navy--a new legion of heavily-armored Transformer drones constructed by the Ironforge Guild on the industrial colony world of Beacon--to act as the vanguard force of the Cybertronian Space Forces as the Imperium continues their push into the Republic's core sectors. The Vehicon Navy prove themselves to be effective defenders of the Republic during the Drone Wars, eventually driving the Vestial Imperium out of Cybertronian territory.
