Transformers: The Movie is set in the year 2005, almost 20 years after the concluding events of Transformers' second season. It begins at a time when Megatron and the Decepticons having taken over Cybertron, attempt to wipe out the last remaining Autobots on Earth and two of Cybertron's moons. The movie is the stage where many new characters are introduced including Hotrod, Kup, Blurr, Ultra Magnus, Springer, Cyclonus, Scourge, (and many others) as well as the new leaders of the Transformers: Galvatron and Rodimus Prime. The movie also featured the ultimate bad guy of bad guys, a name all TF fans should recognize: UNICRON!
