Description
Robots that turn into cars, airplanes, animals, alien technology, and other things (such as microscopes or radios) battle each other. There are always two factions of them, the Autobots and Decepticons, though in Beast Wars, there were Maximals and Predacons, who battle for either war or peace. Robots in Disguise pits Autobots against Predacons, with the Decepticons being a subgroup of the Predacons. Their battle extends from their home planet of Cybertron to Earth, sometimes across the galaxy. It was based off of Japanese toys called "Diaclone" and "Micro Change", the former being about toy robots piloted by humans, and the latter was robots transforming into life-sized replicas of objects (i.e. guns, toy cars, cassettes).

With emphasis given to those seen in Youtube Poops
Autobots

- Ratchet - Generally, Ratchet is the medic of the Autobots, but in Transformers Animated, they made him a fat old man instead.
- Bumblebee - I wanna be the guy too!
- Jazz - One of the only black Transformers, along with Blaster and some other guys.
- Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime - The next in line for the Primes. Nobody likes him.
- Ironhide - Leakin' lubricant!
- Sideswipe - Not Sideways.
- Arcee - Yes, there are female Transformers. Yes, she is pink. Also Rattrap's great aunt.
- Prowl - A jerkass police car who sounds like Drew Pickles.
- Ultra Magnus - Can't deal with it right now.
Decepticons

- Starscream - I ALWAYS HATED YOU MEGATRON
- Cyclonus - One of Megatron's few loyal Decepticons.
- Frenzy - A small, blue Transformer. Turns into a cassette.
- Rumble - A small, red Transformer. Turns into a cassette.
- Devastator - A gigantic Transformer created by several Decepticons (Constructicons) merging together: Scrapper, Hook, Scavenger, Bonecrusher, Long Haul and Mixmaster.
- Wasp - Why universe hate him!?
- Shockwave - As cool as a purple guy can get.
- Blitzwing - An insane Triple Changing Transformer, has three forms and three personalities.
- Thunderblast - A slut.
Others
- Unicron - The irony of a planet-sized eating machine being played by Orson Welles wasn't lost on anybody.
- Primus - The God of all Transformers. He also likes the band named Primus.
- The Fallen - A giant Transformer that's always on fire. He actually has very good balance.
- Sideways - A mysterious guy who works for Unicron. In Revenge of The Fallen, he was a Decepticon with no connection to Unicron.

Humans
- Spike and Sparkplug, AKA some men no-one give a shit about.
- Darth Vader - A Sith Lord who transforms into a gigantic moon, which we will call a "death star".
- Koji Onishi - Some Digimon reject.
- Sam Witwicky - Also known as eBay username ladiesman217.
- Mikaela - Sam's girlfriend. She has lots of personality and does more than provide fanservice, really. :D
- Lori - When a 14-year-old girl is enough to scare Norio Wakamoto, you know there's something wrong.
- Nicholas - An agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. who works with his pal Dum Dum.
- Sari Sumdac - One of the only humans in this series who isn't annoying... or is she?
- And hundreds more.
