In a future where humanity has developed an interstellar civilization. On the frontier planet of Rubicon 3, a substance called, "Coral" was discovered that could be used as both an energy source and a data conduit. Coral was hailed as the key to humanity's technological advancement, but instead it caused a cataclysmic event known as the "Fires of Ibis," which engulfed the planet and the surrounding star system in flames and left behind a lethal contaminant. All Coral in existence was thought to have been consumed by the disaster. Fifty years later, however, signs of Coral are once again detected on Rubicon 3. Corporations flock to exploit the planet and control the Coral, heedless of the cost and harm to the inhabitants, and mercenaries follow to profit from the conflict. Augmented human designated "C4-621" who is in servitude to an infamous handler named Walter, and fights as an Armored Core pilot on the promise of earning a new life by taking on mercenary jobs. After illegally landing on Rubicon 3, C4-621 steals the license of a deceased mercenary and assumes their callsign: "Raven."

When the Autobots and Decepticons crash-land on Rubicon, humanity's leaders see them not as potential allies or invaders but as existential threats. These alien machines, capable of immense destruction and unprecedented adaptability, threaten to destabilize the delicate balance between Rubicon's warring corporate factions. With Coral-powered Armored Cores at the forefront of their military strength, humanity unites under a single directive: the eradication of the Transformers. The corporations, desperate to secure alien technology for their own dominance, deploy elite Armored Core pilots to hunt the Autobots and Decepticons alike. These pilots-mercenaries driven by contracts and survival-are thrust into a conflict unlike any they've faced before. The Transformers, outnumbered and unfamiliar with Coral's unique energy properties, pose both a challenge and an opportunity: capturing them could unlock unparalleled technological advancements. As the hunt intensifies, humanity grapples with its own morality. Are these alien beings sentient creatures deserving of empathy, or tools to be exploited in the never-ending war for power? Some pilots begin to question their orders, especially when faced with the Autobots' desperate attempts to protect innocent lives. Others revel in the challenge, eager to prove that no machine-alien or otherwise-can stand against humanity's resolve. But as the Decepticons manipulate humanity's divisions for their own gain, the corporations' greed risks igniting a war far more devastating than they anticipated. In the end, humanity must confront its own nature: Will the desire for dominance lead to its salvation-or its destruction?
