The LA Times has written a scene by scene description of the Transformers: The Ride
During the queue pre-show, riders are recruited to join the Autobots in an alien robot showdown with the Decepticons.




The queue winds through the NEST military base, with video screens
explaining the ride's back story, and past an AllSpark containment
chamber that houses a glowing module containing the source of life for
all Transformers.




At the loading station, riders climb into a blue Autobot vehicle
known as Evac, which explains the mission: Protect the AllSpark from the
Decepticons.




Scene 1: A mechanical Decepticon tiger named Ravage grabs the
AllSpark, leaps onto Evac's hood and claws at the passengers. Evac
escapes by driving erratically.




Scene 2: Bumblebee, an Autobot that can transform into a Volkswagen
Beetle, rescues Evac from the motorcycle-bot Sideways and entrusts the
riders to protect the AllSpark. Evac flees the scene by crashing through
a wall and plowing through city traffic.




Scene 3: Megatron, leader of the Decepticons, attacks Evac before
the Autobots' leader, Optimus Prime, comes to the rescue. During the
battle, Evac's riders narrowly escape Grindor's spinning helicopter
blades.




Scene 4: Evac drives evasively as Megatron gives chase. The evil
robot eventually captures Evac, who struggles and manages to break free.




Scene 5: Riders feel the heat of a tremendous explosion after
Megatron fires a missile at Evac, who maneuvers to avoid the oncoming
shell. Evac escapes through a hole blown in the side of a building by
the missile.




Scene 6: Evac gets sucked into a whirling vortex generated by Devastator, a Decepticon created by combining several robots.




Scene 7: Sideswipe, a Lamborghini Autobot, saves Evac and the pair
race through city streets battling Decepticons along the way. During the
high-speed chase, Evac fires a weapon at Bonecrusher, a bulldozer
Decepticon.




Scene 8: Evac manages to escape a second encounter with Devastator
only to be grabbed by Starscream's grappling hook. The F-15 fighter jet
Decepticon flings Evac through the air, sending the hero robot crashing
into a building.




Scene 9: Optimus Prime and Megatron battle in a showdown between the alien robot leaders.




Scene 10: Autobot helicopters fire on Starscream, giving Evac a brief respite.




Scene 11: In the finale, Optimus Prime and Megatron continue their
fight on top of a skyscraper. Falling from the building, Megatron pulls
Evac over the edge with him and they hurtle headfirst toward street
below. At the last possible moment, Bumblebee leaps up and catches Evac.




Scene 12: With Megatron defeated, Optimus Prime congratulates Evac
and the rider recruits on a mission accomplished. With the ride over,
Evac heads to the unloading station where the passengers disembark
