-The iconic Transformers theme song
Description
Robots that turn into cars, airplanes, animals, alien technology, and other things (such as microscopes, radios, and even giant metallic hands) 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).

- 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.

Decepticons
- Megatron/Galvatron - Megatron is almost always the main villain of the piece.

Other Transformers

- Sideways - A mysterious guy who works for Unicron. In Revenge of The Fallen, he was a Decepticon with no connection to Unicron.

Humans

- Darth Vader - A Sith Lord who transforms into a gigantic moon, which we will call a "death star".
- Koji Onishi - Some Digimon reject with the guts to call Megatron "a loser".

Further Information
- Despite the fact that there are female and child Transformers, Devastator is the only Transformer with a scrotum. Blame Michael Bay.
- Transformers has actually had a pretty all-star cast. Case in point: Orson Welles, Leonard Nimoy, Eric Idle, Judd Nelson, Robert Stack, Lionel Stander, "Weird Al" Yankovic (who performed the song Dare to be Stupid in the G1 movie in addition to voicing the Transformers Animated incarnation of Wreck-Gar), Megan Fox, George Takei, John Turturro, Tyrese Gibson, and Scatman Crothers have appeared in the franchise at one point or another. In particular, the Transformers 1980's movie was the final role for both Scatman Crothers and Orson Welles. Not bad for a toy commercial.
- Optimus Prime and Megatron appeared in the GameCube fighting game DreamMix TV: World Fighters, which also included Solid Snake, Simon Belmont and Bomberman (among others) in its playable roster.
- Vince DiCola, who composed the score for The Transformers: The Movie, also worked on the score for Rocky IV. In fact, the song used for representing Unicron was also used for representing Ivan Drago, who was Rocky's enemy at the time.
- In the webcomic involving Sabrina Skunk (you know, the one that MustangSally72 loves), there are many Transformers toys around, which sometimes a-la Toy Story. Despite the fact that there's about 12 Optimus Primes around, those toys are led by Blackarachnia (formerly by Grimlock) and their main enemy is a baby named Timothy Squirrel-Woolfe.
- Some of these guys have very unfortunate names. Yeah...
