Before time began,
there was the Cube.
We know not where it comes from,
only that it holds the power to create worlds and fill them with life.
That is how our race was born.
For a time, we lived in harmony.
But like all great power,
some wanted it for good,
others for evil.
And so began the war.
A war that ravaged our planet until it was consumed by death,
and the Cube
was lost to the far reaches of space.
We scattered across the galaxy,
hoping to find it and rebuild our home.
Searching every star, every world.
And just when all hope seemed lost,
message of a new discovery
drew us to an unknown planet called... Earth.
But we were already too late.
My name is Optimus Prime. We are Autonomous Robotic Organisms from the
planet Cybertron.
Autobots,
roll out!
At the end of this day,
one shall stand, one shall fall!
Fate has yielded its reward:
a new world to call home.
We live among its people now,
hiding in plain sight,
but watching over them in secret, waiting,
protecting
I have witnessed their capacity for courage,
and though we are worlds apart,
like us,
there's more to them,
than meets the eye.
I am Optimus Prime,
and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the
stars.
We are here.
We are waiting.
Earth,
birthplace of the human race.
A species much like our own,
capable of great compassion
and great violence.
For in our quest to protect the humans, a deeper revelation dawns:
our worlds
have met before...
For the last two years, an advanced team of new Autobots
has taken refuge
here under my command.
Together,
we form an alliance with the humans:
a secret
but brave squad of soldiers,
a classified strike team called NEST.
We hunt for what remains of our Decepticon foes, hiding in
different countries around the globe...
Let's, ROLL!
You picked the wrong planet! Give me your FACE!
Our races,
united by a history long forgotten
and a future we shall face together.
I am Optimus Prime,
and I send this message so that our past will always be remembered.
For in those memories,
we live on.
We were once a peaceful race of intelligent mechanical beings.
But then came the war
between the Autobots, who fought for freedom
and the Decepticons, who dreamt of tyranny.
Overmatched and outnumbered,
our defeat was all but certain.
But in the wars final days,
one Autobot ship escaped the battle.
It was carrying a secret cargo,
which would have changed our planet's fate.
A desperate mission,
our final hope...
A hope that vanished.
It is I, Optimus Prime!
Remember this:
you may lose your faith in us
but never
in yourselves.
For today,
in the name of freedom,
we take the battle to them!
In any war,
there are calms between the storms.
There will be days when we lose faith,
days when our allies turn against us.
But the day will never come,
that we forsake this planet and its people.
