The Allspark holds all Cybertronian life and possesses mythical powers that must not fall in the hands of the Decepticons. Eventually it becomes clear that Cybertron is slowly dying without the Allspark. Optimus Prime goes on a journey to the Allspark on a spaceship called 'the Ark' together with Bumblebee, Arcee, Prowl, Grimlock, Ratchet, Wheeljack, Chromia, Rack'n'Ruin, Drift, Teletraan-1 and Teletraan-X. Due to [[energon]] shortage, all autobots have to go into stasis. The Ark finds the Allspark on Earth, but it gets damaged and crashes. Bumblebee and Grimlock fall out of the ship before the Ark hits surface. Bumblebee stays in stasis, but Grimlock befriends the [[dinosaurs]] and teaches them Cybertronian technology. They search the entire planet for the Ark and the Allspark, but then a [[meteorite]] crashes on Earth. The dinosaurs go extinct and Grimlock goes back into stasis. The first chapter focusses on Windblade who was the only bot able to get through a partially repaired space bridge. She lands on Earth in search for the Ark. She only finds Bumblebee, who has now awoken from ''stasis'', but has lost all his memory files. Windblade has got [[Telepathy|telepathic]] powers and helps Bumblebee to restore his memory. Old memories from Cybertron and the journey on the Ark are rediscovered in every episode. Meanwhile they have to defend themselves against several Decepticons, who are also looking for the Ark and the Allspark. Eventually they find Teletraan-X, a flying [[Hard disk drive|hard drive]] of the Ark, and they manage to awake Grimlock. Teletraan-X is able to locate the Ark with the data Grimlock has collected. They manage to awake everyone from stasis ''right'' before Starscream arrives on Earth with his Decepticon armada. ====''Chapter Two: Power of the Spark''==== ==Characters== ===Autobots=== * [[Bumblebee (Transformers)|Bumblebee]] (voiced by Jeremy Levy)<ref name = "Hasbro Sales Guide"/> * [[Grimlock]] (voiced by Ryan Andes)<ref name = "Toys"/> * [[Optimus Prime]] (voiced by Jake Tillman)<ref name = "Hasbro Sales Guide"/> * [[Wheeljack]] (voiced by Billy Bob Thompson)<ref name=":0" /> * Ratchet (Voiced by Todd Perlmutter) * [[Rodimus|Hot Rod]] (voiced by Travis Artz) * Prowl (voiced by Dick Terhune)<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/cyberverse|title=Cyberverse Animated Series - Transformers|website=transformers.hasbro.com}}</ref> * [[Arcee]] (voiced by Jamie Lamchick) * [[Perceptor]] * [[Jetfire]] (voiced by Jeremy Levy) * [[Drift (Transformers)|Drift]] (voiced by Mike Rose) * Rack'n'Ruin (voiced by Jeremy Levy) * Alpha Trion (voiced by Rich Orlow) * Camiens ** [[Windblade]] (voiced by Sophia Isabella)<ref name = "Hasbro Sales Guide"/> ** Chromia (voiced by LaTonia Phipps) * Velocitronians ** [[Blurr]] (voiced by JC Ernst)<ref>{{cite web|title=Exclusive: In-Package Stock Images Of Transformers: Cyberverse 1-Step Changers |url=http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/05/27/in-package-stock-images-of-transformers-cyberverse-1-step-changers-364459#more-364459 |website=tfw2005.com |accessdate=May 27, 2018 |date=October 14, 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref> * Various Autobot soldiers ===Decepticons=== * [[Megatron]] (voiced by [[Marc Thompson (voice actor)|Marc Thompson]])<ref name = "Toys"/> * Shadow Striker (voiced by Deanna McGovern)<ref name = "Toys"/> * [[Shockwave (Transformers)|Shockwave]] (voiced by Ryan Andes)<ref name = "Toys"/> ** Shockwave's drones * [[Soundwave (Transformers)|Soundwave]] (voiced by Marc Swint)<ref>{{cite web|title=Exclusive: In-Package Stock Images Of Transformers: Cyberverse 1-Step Changers |url=http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/05/27/in-package-stock-images-of-transformers-cyberverse-1-step-changers-364459#more-364459 |website=tfw2005.com |accessdate=May 27, 2018 |date=May 27, 2018 |url-status=live}}</ref> * Lockdown (voiced by Mike Rose) * Gnaw * Clobber (voiced by Saskia Marx) * [[Sky-Byte]] (voiced by Marc Thompson) * [[Bludgeon (Transformers)|Bludgeon]] * Seekers ** [[Starscream]] (voiced by Billy Bob Thompson)<ref name = "Toys">{{cite web|last1=Liszewski |first1=Andrew |title=These New ''Transformers Cyberverse'' Figures Are Fantastic Callbacks to the Original '80s Toys |url=https://io9.gizmodo.com/these-new-transformers-cyberverse-figures-are-fantastic-1823007404 |website=''[[io9]]'' |publisher=[[Gizmodo]] |accessdate=February 24, 2018 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20180224184706/https://io9.gizmodo.com/these-new-transformers-cyberverse-figures-are-fantastic-1823007404 |archivedate=February 24, 2018 |date=February 15, 2018 |url-status=live}}</ref> ** [[Slipstream (Transformers)|Slipstream]] (voiced by Lianne Marie Dobbs)<ref name=Instagram>{{cite web|last1=Dobbs |first1=Lianne Marie |title=Recorded episodes for Transformers: Cyberverse, as Slipstream, female Decepticon.
