Based directly off of the ''[[Film/TransformersFilmSeries Transformers]]'' [[Film/TransformersFilmSeries films]], the ride involves guests becoming the latest recruits at NEST. Their "training" is put on halt when Megatron launches another full-scale attack on earth, intent on retrieving the last remaining shard of the [=Allspark=]. With the military facility now compromised, guests are ordered to ride with the new Autobot, Evac, and evacuate the shard from the city. Things of course don't go as planned and the riders are thrust into a city-wide battle between the Autobots and Decepticons.

** Megatron is a villainous example of this. In order: he tracks Evac into the city (only to be stopped by Optimus), gets the jump on the guests in the sewers, traps them in a construction site, ''stabs'' Evac on a rooftop before resuming his fight with Prime, and tries to pull a TakingYouWithMe in his last appearance.

If this is true, than this is a massive case of Fridge Brillance, since the latter ride didn't open until a year after this one.[[/note]]

Added DiffLines:

* NoMereWindmill: Stallworth is ignored when he says that he fully believes that the Decepticons have a plan for breaking into NEST and that Morshower needs to have the [=AllSpark=] evacuated. He later turns out to be correct, as the Decepticons' ambush in the city was just a diversion for some of them to sneak into the facility.


Added DiffLines:

* WeNeedADistraction: The Decepticons are able to sneak their way into the NEST facility by having some of their own attack the city as a diversion, thus leading all security away.
