What happened to Autobot City? Well...
. . .this was the was the homebase of the Autobots on Earth in the year 2005 and the main target of Megatron's grand assault. During the onslaught, Autobot City was heavily damaged and its integrity was compromised. The only two modes Autobot City displayed at this time were city mode and battlestation mode. Later on, Autobot City was modified and rebuilt into Metroplex who was also able to transform into a more conventional humanoid mode. Trypticon, in his first mission after destroying the Ark, attempted to destroy Metroplex. Although Metroplex was initially unable to transform, his transformation cog was replaced at the last minute, allowing him to take on a robot mode. Metroplex won the fight easily, tossing Trypticon into the ocean. Some time later, the ghost of Starscream helped Scourge to infiltrate Metroplex and steal his optical units (eyes). One was successfully stolen, while the other was destroyed in the attempt.
In late 2005, Megatron launched an all-out assault on Autobot City. Though it ultimately failed to destroy the city, heavy damage was sustained, and Optimus Prime was killed. In 2008, the Quintessons invaded and captured the city itself, but its living core, Metroplex, rose up from beneath the city and wiped out their entire fleet.
