Actually, the nemesis was seen in ROTF crash landed somewhere near Saturn.


So, the Nemesis didn't do it, but then what did?

Here's my theory.

The Cybertronians are able to travel within a solar system with relative ease, and land on a planet by crash-down. However, for the huge spaces between solar systems, they can't provide sufficient energy themselves to traverse the emptiness without dying off. As such, they need stasis ships for those journeys- ships with the ability to exceed the known speed of light by huge amounts. To safely survive the jumps, the Cybertronians are put into Stasis- like the new bot in the announcement trailer- for the journey and automatically awakened by onboard computer and proximity sensors. In this case, i don't think that Cybertronians- unless they have a flying alt mode- are able to leave a planet's surface on their own. Or- as may be the case- the Autobots ONLY cannot leave an atmosphere of their own power- an homage to the original line that can't fly.

Just my guess.
