Decepticons using the bridge to invade the Earth
The Space Bridge was a Cybertronian technology that transported matter through time and space used by the original Seven Primes and their minions. Sentinel Prime recreated the space bridge technology
History[]
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen[]
Jetfire mentioned the Space Bridge by name shortly before he did a really half-assed job of throwing himself and the rest of the heroes halfway across the world to Egypt, wrecking Sam's hand in the process (Jetfire wasn't entirely sure they were still on the right planet). The even-more-ancient but significantly less senile Fallen, one of the original Primes, shows a similar ability where he teleports across short distances, seeming to use it as a form of flight.
Transformers Dark of the Moon[]
During the last days of Cybertron's civil war, Autobot leader Sentinel Prime developed a new space bridge technology which used a system of pillars to provide instantaneous transport between any two points. It was hoped that the technology would be able to turn the tide of the war and defeat the Decepticons once and for all. But the technology was lost when Decepticon ships attacked the Autobot flagship Ark, which was transporting both Sentinel and the pillars.
In 1961, the Ark crash-landed on Earth's moon, sparking a space race between the United States of America and the Soviet Union in an effort to reach the wreck first. During this era, the Decepticons began removing hundreds of pillars crash site, an activity secretly recorded by Soviet space probes. Decades later, the Autobots learned of the Ark's presence on the Moon, and Optimus Prime and Ratchet traveled to the crash site to investigate. Once aboard, the two retrieved Sentinel Prime's body and five of the pillars, including the master pillar that controlled the bridge. Back on Earth, the pillars were confiscated by NEST out of fear that they would be used as weapons.
That fear was quickly realized when Sentinel attacked the Autobots and their human allies, revealing that he had made a truce with Megatron in order to save Cybertron from destruction. Stealing the five pillars, he activated them in front of the Lincoln Memorial, teleporting hundreds of Decepticons hiding on the Moon onto Earth. Chicago was soon conquered by the invading army, and there Sentinel and Megatron launched their master plan: using the pillars covertly taken Ark crash site, they would create a space bridge between Earth and Cybertron, bringing their homeworld into Earth's atmosphere. Earth would then be raided for its resources, and humanity would be enslaved and forced to rebuild Cybertron.
NEST and the Autobots eventually arrived in Chicago to retake the war-torn city, and Optimus Prime was able to knock over the control pillar, deactivating the space bridge. It was only a temporary victory, though, as the Decepticon human ally Dylan Gould restarted the pillar and the transport sequence recommenced. Ultimately, Gould was killed by Sam Witwicky and Bumblebee and Ratchet destroyed the control pillar. With the bridge rendered inoperable, Cybertron collapsed and fell back through the portal.
