Learning that the evil Megatron was intent on attacking the planet earth, if not necessarily why, the heroic Autobots have journeyed forth from their home on Cybertron, crossing time and space to stop this villain and his Predacon minions from causing undue harm to humanity. Over time, an increasing number of Autobots have made their home on earth, including the following fellows:

Leader of the Autobots:
	Optimus Prime: a powerful warrior and skilled tactician, Optimus Prime is the leader of the Autobots. This steadfast protector of all life, no matter its form, strives only to bring peace to the universe - which naturally puts him at odds with Megatron and his minions! Optimus Prime comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Other Matrix Bearers:
	Omega Prime: the unique product of a gestalt between the brothers Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus, Omega Prime is the Autobots' single greatest warrior, almost matching Fortress Maximus in power - and definitely exceeding that robotic behemoth's battle prowess! Omega Prime comes in Classic and Saga styles!
	Ultra Magnus: arrogant and prideful, Ultra Maguns is the brother of Optimus Prime - and feels that he should've received the Matrix instead. Of course, he doesn't let his vendetta with Prime get in the way of the Autobots' battle with the likes of Galvatron and company...! Ultra Magnus comes in Classic and Saga styles!
the Autobot Brothers:
	Prowl: having worked with law enforcement officials since arriving on earth, Prowl has developed a deep-seeded respect for all things Law-related. That, of course, is because he is an orderly, almost predictable robot - which often clashes with Side Burn's impulsive nature... Prowl comes in Classic and Saga styles!
	Side Burn: the youngest of the three Autobot Brothers, Side Burn is rambunctious, enthusiastic, and powerful. Of course, he's also impulsive, not to mention incredibly obsessive regarding red sports cars, a bizarre mechanical fetish that has gotten him into trouble more often than not... Side Burn comes in Classic and Saga styles!
	X-Brawn: eldest of the Autobot Brothers, X-Brawn is a dependable, rock-steady warrior for justice. He's a rugged adventurer, always eager to explore the unknown stretches of terran terrain, and does so whenever he's not on duty - and often fits it in while on the job, too! X-Brawn comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Team Bullet Train:
	Midnight Express: youngest of the three Team Bullet Train members, Midnight Express has a youthful demeanor and vigor that is hard to deny. Of course, he's also quite harsh on his enemies, but overall he's a dependable component of the team that they cannot do without! Midnight Express comes in Classic and Saga styles!
	Rail Racer: a merger of the three Team Bullet Train members (Midnight Express, Railspike and Rapid Run), Rail Racer combines all of their best personality traits - and powers - into a singular whole, one which Megatron and company have a hard time dealing with! Rail Racer comes in Classic and Saga styles!
	Railspike: the leader of Team Bullet Train, Railspike is also its oldest member. His wisdom rivals that of Optimus Prime himself, though Railspike's age is telling in his demeanor, for he can occasionally come across as stubborn, or even... cantakerous in certain situations. Railspike comes in Classic and Saga styles!
	Rapid Run: the middle ground between Midnight Express and Railspike, Rapid Run is a mature Autobot warrior; he's grown up, but not aged. On the other hand, he's absorbed a lot of human culture and slang, making him rather glib most of the time - almost overconfident, in fact. Rapid Run comes in Classic and Saga styles!
the Build Team:
	Grimlock: a veteran of countless conflicts, Grimlock has become a master of military tactics through trial and error. While he can easily hold his own in a fight, it's this expertise that makes him so valuable to the Build Team - not to mention the Autobots in general! Grimlock comes in Classic and Saga styles!
	Heavy Load: Heavy Load has dedicated himself to Wedge's service, acting as both his personal assistant and martial arts instructor. A master of personal combat despite his bulky appearance, Heavy Load is mroe than capable of dishing out punishment when necessary. Heavy Load comes in Classic and Saga styles!
	Hightower: an expert marksman and a guardian of almost legendary skill, Hightower is also a highly capable architect as well. This combination of abilities makes him a welcome addition to the Build Team, and yet another competent Autobot available to back Wedge up! Hightower comes in Classic and Saga styles!
	Landfill: a merger of the four members of the Build Team, Landfill is primarily driven by Wedge's consciousness, but adds the many skills that the rest of the team possesses in order to form a truly potent warrior and leader tempered by experience and skill. Landfill comes in Classic and Saga styles!
	Wedge: despite his inexperience, Wedge is possessed of an infectious spirit that inspires others. As such, he's drawn together the Build Team, more experienced warriors and engineers who look up to Wedge, both for direction and for inspiration to continue the fight against evil! Wedge comes in Classic and Saga styles!
the Spychangers:
	Crosswise: a highly skilled inventor, architect, and astrophysicist, Crosswise is the high tech 'genius' of the Spychanger group, capable of whipping up all manner of new devices to help them in their stealthy missions against the Predacons and Decepticons. Crosswise comes in Classic and Saga styles!
	Hot Shot: leader of the stealthy Spychangers, Hot Shot is none other than the cousin of the one and only Optimus Prime - and, as a result, Ultra Maguns. He takes after both his cousins, and as such is a competent leader, as well as being somewhat fiery in personality. Hot Shot comes in Classic and Saga styles!
	Ironhide: the Spychangers' strong man, Ironhide loves roughing it up with the Predacons; sure, he could blast them silly, but he feels that a good right hook is more... personal, when you get down to it. Ironhide doubles as small-scale materials transport for the team, as well. Ironhide comes in Classic and Saga styles!
	Mirage: the fastest of the Spychangers, Mirage is also their best sharpshooter - he's able to hit just about anything, no matter how far fast or far away it may be, with his laser sniping rifle. In fact, Mirage has a galaxy-wide reputation for his uncanny marksmanship capabilities. Mirage comes in Classic and Saga styles!
	R.E.V.: tactical officer for the Spychangers team, R.E.V. (Race Evolution, or Race Evolution Sportscar) is a powerful warrior in his own right. Armed with a laser shotgun and a powerful leaping ability, he does quite a lot of damage to the Predacon cause - and does it in style! R.E.V. comes in Classic and Saga styles!
	W.A.R.S.: the most antagonistic and violent of the Spychangers, W.A.R.S. is also one of the group's most daring warriors. Actively advocating war against the Predacons, W.A.R.S. would like nothing better than to crush the Autobots' villainous foes under his cybernetic boot-heel. W.A.R.S. comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Late Autobot Arrivals:
	Daytonus: something of an odd man out among the Autobots, Daytonus is cursed with a mind that functions several times faster than his fellows, causing him to get bored insanely fast. As such, he's somewhat unreliable, and tends to wander off to occupy his attention... Daytonus comes in Classic and Saga styles! *
	Prowl II: dedicated to the memory of his long-time hero, Prowl, Prowl II has strived to bring law and order to all of Cybertron, but has always felt inadequate to his idol's legacy. Of course, now that he's got a sort of multiple personality disorder, one can see why...! Prowl II comes in Classic and Saga styles!
	Side Swipe: crude and blunt, Side Swipe is a curious member of the Autobot team; while he has a good heart, he's more aggressive than most of his evil opponents. When not fighting such foes, he relieves his combative urges by competing in demolition derbies...! Side Swipe comes in Classic and Saga styles! *
	Sideways: an ultra-sneaky, ultra-efficient Autobot scout, Sideways was summoned to earth to help the Autobots there locate the mighty Fortress Maximus, who (though immensely large) was continually eluding the Autobots and the Decepticons who wished to control him! Sideways comes in Classic and Saga styles!
	Skid-Z: like his fellow Autobot, Side Burn, Skid-Z is built for speed. Furthermore, he's equipped with incredibly accurate reflexes that allow him to handle better than any other Autobot out there - making him a great scout when he's not obsessively participating in races... Skid-Z comes in Classic and Saga styles!
	Storm Jet: though he's got something of a temper, the aptly named Storm Jet is nonetheless a professional, taking his responsibility as the Autobots' aerial support on earth very seriously; while he likes putting his foes in their place, he makes sure he doesn't go nuts doing it... Storm Jet comes in Classic and Saga styles!
	Tow-Line: striving to protect the innocents of earth from the otherworldly threat of the Autobots' evil cousins, Tow-Line works to assist humans in his 'down time', acting as a lowly tow truck (and thus helping Prowl in his own, law enforcement duties). Tow-line comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Last, but not Least:
	Fortress Maximus: the single largest Autobot in existence, Fortress Maximus is immense - he's over 1,000 foot tall! He can transform from his gigantic humanoid mode into either a flying battle fortress or a city block, both of which his allies can use in the fight against evil! Fortress Maximus comes in Classic and Saga styles!
