Decepticon and autobot logo series#

It identifies the one Autobot Commander that is entrusted with the Creation Matrix, also known as the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. Many of these leaders use the title of Prime, a direct linguistic descendant of Primus. The Japanese Continuity, however, is more diverse after Optimus Prime (in G1), the succession of commanders include Rodimus Prime, Fortress Maximus, God Ginrai (known in the US as Powermaster Optimus Prime), Victory Saber, and Dai Atlas. In most North American continuities, the Autobot commander is usually Optimus Prime. Still the title for the antagonistic faction the Decepticons could mean Deceptive Contenders as some fans have come to debate, yet this has not been explained in neither of the existing Transformers lines, leaving the meaning of the antagonists title to be open to interpretation for the time being.

Decepticon and autobot logo series#

In the Michael Bay live action films as well as in the new CGI animated series (Transformers Prime), the title Autobots is explained to be the short version of the title Autonomous Robotic Organisms. In Italy, they are called ' Autorobots.' The Autobot symbol is also referred to as an 'Autobrand' in issue #14 of the Marvel Comics series. The Maximals from Transformers: Beast Wars are also known as Cybertrons in Japan, but in North America they are called Maximals and are descendants of the Autobots. In Japan, the Autobots are called ' Cybertrons' ( サイバトロン, Saibatoron ?) except in the live-action film series and Transformers Animated, where they are referred to as Autobots ( オートボット, Ōtobotto ?). Most of the Autobot groups' names have the suffix '-bot' in them while the Decepticon groups' names end in '-icon'. Some can even transform into humans they'd be classified as pretenders. Autobots often turn into regular cars, trucks, or other road vehicles but some are aircraft, military vehicles, communication devices, weapons, and cyborg animals. Both Autobots and Decepticons are humanoid robots that can transform into machines, vehicles and other familiar mechanical objects. In all but one Transformer story, the 'Heroic Autobots' are opposed by the Evil Decepticons-the main antagonists in Transformers. Optimus Prime, Rodimus Prime, Ultra MagnusĪutobot, a faction of sentient robots from the planet Cybertron, are usually the main protagonists in the fictional universe of the Transformers, a collection of various toys, graphic novels, paperback books, cartoons and movies first introduced in 1984.
