At the same time, a group of powerful alien robots known as the Autobots arrive on Earth after detecting strange dimensional energy connected to the Upside Down. Led by Optimus Prime, they bring with their powerful allies—the mighty Dinobots, the noble Maximals, the courageous Rescue Bots, and the young Cybertronian heroes known as the Terrans. Surprisingly, they are also joined by Megatron, who now fights alongside Optimus Prime and the other defenders of Earth. As terrifying monsters such as the Demogorgon and the powerful Mind Flayer spread destruction throughout Hawkins, the kids and the Transformers must unite.
