I know people are saying that Earthspark has a immigration theme going on, but I can't really see that. There's many factors to consider that is more than just that.
The Decepticons tried to take over Earth (or destroy it, because Shockwave seem to have flip on it).
The Cybertronians bringing war to Earth.
Optimus repeatedly saying that Ghost was their best option because no other group were willing to help them.
The Cybertronians cannot go back home and have to live under human terms.
Decepticons being dehumanized when captured.
Cybertronians as a whole being discriminated against and dealing with bigotry.
And, most importantly, Earthspark is a post-war setting, taking place fifteen years after the war.
So while I can see elements that Earthspark is immigration themed, once I considered all of the factors, the story of Cybertronians seem more similar to the what the losing side had to deal with after the war over. Such as what happen to Germany after WWI and WWII.
