List of The Transformers characters

The Autobots (also known as Cybertrons in Japan) are the heroes in the Transformers toyline[1] and related spin-off comics and cartoons.

Other terms for the Autobots are Autorobot (in Italy), Autoboterna (in Sweden), Kibery (in Ukraine), and Robotrikim (in Israel).

In the Transformers cartoon series Power of the Primes, they merge into the combiner Volcanicus.

[48][49] The Aerialbots are a faction of Autobots who were created from Earth-style aircraft by Vector Sigma[55] following Alpha Trion's sacrifice.

The Junkions are an Autobot tribe race of scrap metal robots who come from the planet of the same name.

[123] Other terms for the Decepticons are Décepticans (in France), Distructor (in Italy), Bedragarna (in Sweden), Bedragoner (in Denmark), Shakranikim (in Israel) and Álca (in Hungary).

The Constructicons are a race of Cybertronians who became construction vehicles and are the first combiners to appear in the show.

[135] The Coneheads are a Decepticon group who are mostly jet fighters, and whose heads are in the shape of the tip of a nose cone.

According to The Transformers' version, in the days of Megatron, Decepticons developed the art of espionage using cassette technology.

Their first cassette, Laserbeak, could fly undetected into any Autobot stronghold, record information and then return to base.

As a bat, Ratbat can hide in crevices that Laserbeak cannot reach, and is especially effective in tunnels, caves or in the darkness of space.

The Autobots had no choice but to strike back with these Decepticon techniques of stealth, building their own force of cassette Transformers, with Blaster as their guardian.

They constructed Ramhorn, the rhino, who can use animalistic force if cornered, and Steeljaw, the lion, who can crawl through the foliage of any alien world, to sneak up on Decepticons.

The alternate version of the Cassette warriors' origin is stated in the animated series.
