I'm not entirely sure how. If anything it could be a very sensible kickstart point for a lot of them; organisations like G.I. Joe initially being formed in response to Cybertronian Threats, the likes of Cobra and M.A.S.K. getting ahold of Cybertronian tech, etc.
On the other hand though, since I'm not a fan of the Transformers movies, I'm glad they're not using them as a starting point. Means a fresh start.
