Upon returning to his hotel room, Derek didn't even bother eating. He immediately pulled up the video he'd been watching earlier and continued from where he left off.
"In Volume One, the Allspark ran out of energy and shattered, right? However, a miraculous artifact like the Allspark can't be completely destroyed. Although it broke apart, fragments remained—and with enough energy, it can potentially be restored.
Maybe you're wondering: can the Allspark's energy actually be replenished?
Yes, it can.
Legend has it that stellar energy—the power of stars themselves—can be used to recharge the Allspark. Long ago, the Primes of Cybertron developed a massive instrument called a Star Harvester, capable of absorbing stellar energy and converting it into the energy the Allspark needs.
However, this core secret was only known to the Primes and specific Cybertronian leaders. Younger Transformers like Optimus Prime and Megatron were completely unaware of this long-sealed history.
Back then, the Primes of Cybertron established a rule to avoid harming innocent life: never destroy the star of any life-bearing solar system. To replenish the Allspark's energy, they split up and searched the universe for lifeless star systems.
The Fallen was one of these Primes.
But lifeless star systems were incredibly rare. The Fallen always felt the rules set by the other Primes were foolish. They were a higher civilization—why should they care about the lives of lower beings?
When he arrived in our solar system, he discovered that only Earth showed signs of life, and its civilization was extremely primitive. So he decided to conceal the truth, falsely claiming to have found a lifeless system.
The Primes came to the solar system and began constructing energy harvesters on various planets. One was built in a desert on Earth, and this project was led and completed by The Fallen himself.
These energy harvesters could ultimately combine to form a massive energy harvesting matrix, rapidly absorbing stellar energy and converting it into Allspark energy.
Let me explain the Star Harvester's working principle in detail so you understand the later plot. One of these harvesters serves as the main control unit. Only when the main control unit is activated—working in conjunction with all other harvesters—can they form a massive, almost magical construct that directly converts stellar energy into Allspark power. This goes beyond normal scientific explanation.
Activating the main control unit requires a key called the Matrix of Leadership.
If the main control unit isn't activated, individual Star Harvesters can still activate separately and absorb stellar energy. However, they can't convert it into Allspark energy. What kind of energy they'd produce instead... we don't know.
Anyway, back to the story.
Just as all the Star Harvesters were successfully built, one of the Primes discovered signs of life on Earth. The operation was immediately halted. Everyone retreated back to Cybertron.
But The Fallen didn't want his efforts wasted. So he convinced a few sympathetic Primes and launched an assassination attempt against the opposing Primes, intending to seize the Matrix of Leadership.
In this great war, most of the Primes fell. The last surviving Prime used all his remaining strength to seal The Fallen away.
Later, this Prime entrusted the Matrix of Leadership to his most trusted subordinate, Jetfire, telling him that the Matrix would only reactivate when a new worthy leader emerged.
This Prime also instructed Jetfire to go to Earth, destroy the Star Harvesters there to prevent their energy from causing radiation harm to humans, then destroy all the other harvesters as well."
"After arranging everything, this final Prime also fell.
Jetfire, following orders, arrived on Earth. But his resolve wavered—he couldn't bring himself to destroy the Star Harvesters. Instead, he led the ancient Egyptians to build the pyramids, hiding the harvesters within them...
And Volume Two's content revolves around these Star Harvesters..."
The content creator continued explaining the plot and related lore of Transformers.
The plot of Volume Two was actually created by Alex, combining and adapting elements from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen to a certain extent. He'd made adjustments to the story background and plot, even strengthening and upgrading the main characters.
"Oh my god, it's ANOTHER incredibly grand universe!" Derek exclaimed aloud. He'd also played the Avengers content and knew it had a vast, fascinating worldbuilding structure.
He hadn't expected Transformers' background and lore to be equally grand—which made him even more invested.
"Volume Two is premium content, and I personally highly recommend purchasing it. This is the most engaging part of the Transformers experience, and it also unlocks interesting gameplay modes like Free Battlefield and Infinite Mode.
Alright, back to the main story.
The opening cinematic of Volume Two takes place on Cybertron itself. The Fallen, who was once sealed there, has already been freed. His strength has mostly recovered.
Let me explain: The Fallen was sealed, right? Many years later, a Cybertronian archaeological team discovered the special device containing him, but at the time, nobody knew The Fallen was inside. As The Fallen gradually revived, his consciousness reached out and manipulated Megatron—causing the already warlike, ambitious Megatron to completely fall under his influence and become his minion.
This led to the subsequent Cybertronian Civil War.
Soon after the civil war broke out, The Fallen had actually already been unsealed. But because he was injured, he remained in a state of recuperation, pulling strings from the shadows.
Anyway, back to the story.
After Megatron was killed, Starscream returned to report the news. The Fallen was furious. He personally descended to Earth to take command, though he still concealed his presence.
He ordered Starscream to lead the remaining Decepticons, along with newly arrived reinforcements from Cybertron, to begin attacking Earth and seize the Allspark fragments.
He then used those fragments to resurrect Megatron.
The Decepticons made a devastating comeback and began searching globally for something, with extremely frequent activity. At this point, if you choose different characters, you might travel to different locations to confront Decepticons and investigate what they're searching for.
By now, everyone's probably guessed it: they're looking for Jetfire, who came to Earth all those years ago.
The Fallen hadn't been idle on Cybertron during his recovery. He'd also been searching for the Matrix of Leadership. Eventually, he found information indicating that Jetfire had come to Earth, sealed the Star Harvesters, and was very likely still hidden somewhere on the planet.
In this part of the story, you'll travel to various countries around the world to carry out missions. Many new Decepticon and Autobot Transformers appear.
What surprised and impressed me most were the Decepticon construction vehicle Transformers. According to official lore, these belong to the Constructicons—a subset of the Decepticon faction.
These Constructicon Transformers are SO cool! I think guys are naturally drawn to construction machinery. However, among the newly introduced Autobots, there are also flying Transformers, and even Transformers with a very distinct martial arts warrior aesthetic—extremely stylish.
Getting back to the game: The Fallen and his forces searched for a long time but couldn't locate Jetfire. Eventually, The Fallen must have devised a new scheme. Combining this with later plot events, I'm pretty sure it was deliberate manipulation.
The Fallen ordered Megatron and Starscream to lead the Decepticons directly to the Egyptian pyramids and excavate the Star Harvesters.
He also had captured Decepticons 'leak' information about the Star Harvesters, claiming they were about to be activated and Earth was in grave danger.
Human armies and Autobot forces quickly gathered at the Egyptian pyramids, preparing for a desperate battle to thwart the Decepticon conspiracy."
At this point in the video, several construction vehicles appeared on screen, transforming into towering Transformers. Then they began combining with each other.
Finally, they merged into a gigantic, monster-like humanoid Transformer—absolutely massive.
Seeing this scene, Derek's eyes went wide, face filled with shock: "Holy SHIT, is THAT combination?!"
He couldn't help but recall what the streamer had mentioned earlier—that Optimus Prime also gained this ability later. He immediately imagined whether Prime could combine with other Autobots, feeling genuine excitement surge through him.
"Damn, that ability is INSANE!"
