Universal Studios Hollywood describes Transformers: The Ride 3D as “an immersive, next generation thrill ride that blurs the line between fiction and reality. Fusing HD 3D media and flight simulation technology, this epic ride creates an experience unlike anything this planet has ever seen.”

Guests will enter into the N.E.S.T. (Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers) facility to aid Autobots in protecting the AllSpark from the evil Decepticons, with the help of EVAC, the new Transformer that passengers will actually ride in.
