Earthspark: Lockdown is an AU where G.H.O.S.T. becomes a global threat and changes their mission to "bring all cybertronians together under one common goal" A.K.A: force them all to work as indentured servants and never let them go home.

Optimus Prime finds himself caught under G.H.O.S.T.'s claws, forced to "recruit" as many cybertronians as he can. He of course having tussled with G.H.O.S.T. and Mandroid before, feigns compliance and informs as many bots and humans alike that G.H.O.S.T. is on the hunt.

Many G.H.O.S.T. agents in Witwicky work as moles, helping to shield any known cybertronians in the area while others from new branches infiltrate the town to find and hunt them down.

With the aid of the Decepticons, particularly Tarantulas, a vast majority of cybertronians were able to assume human identities and assimilate into society once more.

G.H.O.S.T. is alerted when a bunch of cybertronians start disappearing from their radar en masse and deploys a specialized team created specifically for identifying and disarming cybertronians.

At this point only a few G.H.O.S.T. agents know of the terrans existence, even so, they also take up holoforms and a few of them even attend school alongside their human siblings.

GROUPS

AUTOBOTS:

WIth their leader busy trying to keep them hidden, the majority of the Autobots remain spread out. they only keep in contact with each other sometimes whenever Optimus has information for them. It was just like before for them... with the added challenge of masquerading as a species they are not.

DECEPTICONS:

The Decepticons like the Autobots take the initiative to spread out, but do have a base of operations that shifts around. There, they store their bodies and fuel them together.

Scientists are the only ones who stay behind at the bases, monitoring their comrades bodies.
