Transformers: Rise of Unicron

Five years after the Battle of Chicago, the Autobots think they are finally at peace on Earth, until they are warned by an old enemy that the end is near.
As numerous events unfold, political leaders panic, and the Autobots fear that an ancient evil myth has come to life. Will they be able to save the day one last time?

I do not own any of these characters. Transformers are the property of Michael Bay, Hasbro and Paramount.

This story starts in the ending scene of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, right after Optimus kills Sentinel Prime in Chicago. The events in this story are not related to those in Transformers: Age of Extinction, but rather an alternate outcome of Dark of the Moon. Because I started writing this fic before TF4 was even confirmed, my idea of the Transformers' history will be different than the current canon of the Terran Universe.
