While the Autobots have usually found themselves outnumbered by the Decepticons, the Autobots have always had home-field advantage, having not only the humans' military support, but also having more places on Earth to fall back on, while the Decepticons are entirely unwelcome on Equestria This is not always the case, however, as their ranks certainly contain ne'er-do-wells, malcontents, and unsavory types, and the necessities of war have led many to adopt more combat-oriented alternate forms. While Megatron was firm, Prime was fair, and the two personalities created a balance. For generations, the inhabitants of Cybertron lived in peace, under the joint leadership of the brothers Optimus Prime and Lord High Protector Megatron. As a result, they are usually Transformers who change into non-combat oriented alternate modes such as domestic vehicles, cars, trucks, or rescue vehicles. The war between the Autobots and the Decepticons is what caused Cybertron to turn into a deserted wasteland, as the war eventually raged onto Earth. They usually find themselves defending both their own race and other species against the Decepticons and upholding justice and freedom throughout the galaxy, where even Cybertron is.Ī generally heroic, honorable group, they tend to be dedicated to peace, and feel a need to protect other races from the Decepticons. The Autobots are the protagonists of the series.
