Plot

Having arrived on Cybertron to prevent Megatron from carrying out his latest scheme, the Aerialbots are hoodwinked into entering a time-travel device. Thanks to the intervention of the Autobots, the Aerialbots' backward journey comes to an abrupt halt some nine million years in the past. This plot device enables scriptwriter David Wise to reveal the origins of Optimus Prime and Elita-1, and the beginnings of the war between the Autobots and the Decepticon. Most American viewers first saw "War Dawn" on Christmas Day, 1985. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
