The Autobot race eventually evolve in to the Maximals, who, like their predecessors, are generally depicted as respecting all life and following a path of peace before war. They follow the tenets of the Pax Cybertronia. The Maximals are opposed by the Predacons. The Maximals are descendants of the Autobots. The Maximals and Predacons are much smaller than their Autobot and Decepticon ancestors, standing at roughly human size, rather than twenty or more feet tall (7 m). The storyline reason for the change in size was that their smaller forms were more energy-efficient. In the series, the maximals use the activation code "maximize" to transform, and have forms of seemingly peaceful creatures.In "", the Autobots are the main race on Cybertron, and their enemies are the Predacons. The Autobots fought in the Cybertronian Civil Wars, presumably against the Predacons. Vector Sigma, the Allspark, chooses which Autobot is to be granted the Matrix and thus the position of commander-in-chief.

The Autobots are the main protagonists of the series. Many Autobots on Cybertron are employed with a military force called the Autobot Elite Guard, with the main leader holding the title of "Magnus" and high-ranking lieutenants holding the title of "Prime". The main cast of Autobots in the series are a team of low-ranking maintenance workers led by Optimus Prime, who discover the Allspark (the legendary source of all life on Cybertron) hidden on an asteroid. The majority of Autobots in Transformers: Animated transform into non-military terrestrial vehicles and carry non-projectile weaponry such as swords, shields, shurikens, stingers, nunchucks, axes, etc. Many Autobots in this series do not possess the capability of flight, except for Jetfire and Jetstorm, their combined form Safeguard, Omega Supreme and all other Omega Sentinels, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Prowl, Swoop, and Sari among others.
The Dinobots are three Transformers that transform into mechanical dinosaurs. They were originally animatronic dinosaur props at a theme park, but were accidentally brought to life and given the ability to transform by Sari's Allspark key. They were also tricked by Megatron into hating the Autobots. The Dinobots rarely become involved in the conflict between the Autobots and Decepticons, preferring instead to live peacefully on a remote island. If the planned fourth season would have been made, the Dinobots would have most likely side with the Autobots in the finale "Megatron Must be Destroyed!".A group of Autobots named for the headquarters of the Autobots in "."The series also features many cameo appearances from several classic Autobots from the Generation 1 toy-line and television series where they were featured in crowd appearances. Some of their names and purposes were revealed in the "Allspark Almanac II". Among the Autobot cameos are:The Decepticons are the primary antagonists of the series. Despite being a military force, unlike the Autobot Elite Guard they have no clear hierarchy, Megatron is the sole leader and every other Decepticon is his inferior. The majority of Decepticons transform into military vehicles, mainly aircraft, and carry projectile weaponry such as guns, cannons and missile launchers. The Decepticons in this series are shown to be bigger, stronger, and more powerful than the Autobots. It takes a group of Autobots to defeat one lone Decepticon, but Optimus Prime is the first Autobot shown to defeat Megatron alone.

Trench turns into an Cat 320 excavator. He wants to help you battle tough conditions, tight deadlines, and the unexpected. The Autobots' qualities like strength, loyalty and protection align closely with his brand.Trench appears in "Transformers: The Last Knight" was an Autobot refugee on Earth who had apparently been taken in by Cade Yeager and the other Autobots. He seemed content to do little save sit around in alt mode around the Junkyard, taking little notice as Grimlock stomped by. When the Decepticons and TRF discovered their refuge, he transformed and prepared to join Hound in holding off their enemies while the humans and Autobots escaped. He was not seen again and it is unclear if he was slain by the Decepticons as he was not seen joining the Autobots in going to England.

Wheeljack, who was voiced by Chris Latta, was the first Transformer ever shown in the "Generation 1" cartoon series. Also, he is one of the few Cybertronian vehicle forms shown - in his case, a boxy van-like vehicle. His robot form is distinguished by large bulbs on either side of his head that light up when he speaks. In most episodes, he was seldom seen at the front lines in battle - but he was often fundamental to the plot. He, and the Autobot medic Ratchet (occasionally in cooperation with the human Autobot ally Sparkplug Witwicky), were often shown working together creating various devices, weaponry, and even additional Autobots. Often, these devices were sought and sometimes obtained by the Decepticons and used against the Autobots. For example, in the episode "The Immobilizer", he created a device capable of "immobilizing" anything and Decepticon forces were able to capture and use the device against the Autobots.

The Autobots are later joined with the likes of Autobot bounty hunter Drift, his Mini-Con partners Slipstream and Jetstorm, the female warrior Windblade, and the return of Optimus Prime in the wake of the arrival of Megatronus, who was the one that crashed the Alchemor (and subsequently freed Steeljaw and his pack and later blackmailed Steeljaw into helping him escape his imprisonment) and who the Thirteen Primes have been preparing Optimus for. During the battle Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and Strongarm realize they can combine their Decepticon hunters together and become more powerful. After a lengthy battle, the Autobots manage to pin Megatronus under the right arm of the Crown City Colossus statue. Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and Strongarm combine the power from their Decepticon hunters and unleash a massive beam of energy that is powerful enough to blast Megatronus to dust. As Steeljaw had been blasted away by Megatronus, the Autobots were able to capture Underbite, Thunderhoof, Fracture, and Clampdown. Just as the Autobots are about to leave, Bumblebee orders his team to "Rev up and Roll out!", finally finding his perfect rallying cry. Back at the Scrapyard, Bumblebee asks his team if they would like to stay on Earth. One by one, each Autobot states why they would like to stay on Earth. Optimus Prime also agrees to stay on Earth, but he notes that he will only do so as Bumblebee's equal rather than as his leader to which Bumblebee agrees.

The only exception to this assignment is Bumblebee, who stays with the Witwicky family as their bodyguard.

In the "Shattered Glass" storyline, four Witwicky brothers, Spike, Buster, Butch and Bruce "Buzz" Witwicky, appeared as evil mirror universe counterparts of the Witwickys. Spike was the leader of the group, who allied themselves with Rodimus and the evil Autobots, guiding them on Earth and aiding them in taking temporary control of Burbleson Airforce base and the GODS satellite system. In "Transhuman", Butch brought the Autobot Tailgate with him to school to terrorize the students, only to be stopped by the Emulator.
The most famous of all the Autobots' human allies, Spike Witwicky (voiced by Corey Burton in the English version and in the Japanese version by Show Hayami when he was young and by Masashi Ebara as an adult) was fourteen years old, aiding his father, Sparkplug, in his work on an offshore oil rig when the Transformers entered his life in 1984. A Decepticon attack on the rig left Spike and Sparkplug in peril where they were rescued by Optimus Prime. Afterward, they offered their friendship and aid to the Autobots, teaching them about the ways of Earth. Spike had a lot to learn about the robots in disguise, however, as one of his first actions saw him unwittingly bring the disguised Soundwave into Autobot Headquarters. He later aided Hound in battle against Rumble. When the Autobots were planning to return to their home planet of Cybertron, he intended to go with them.

Leadfoot, Roadbuster, and Topspin are a team of Autobot engineers called the Wreckers, who came to Earth in their ship the "Xantium" which carried other Autobots, including Dino and Wheeljack. NASA took possession of their ship and Director of National Intelligence Mearing mentioned they were rarely let off base due to their behavior. When Sentinel forced the U.S. to expel the Autobots, the Wreckers prepared the "Xantium" for launch, but Starscream destroyed their ship as it was leaving. In Chicago, Leadfoot and the other Wreckers killed the pilot of a Decepticon fighter, and Leadfoot revealed to Sam that they had hid in a booster rocket which detached before Starscream attacked. When Shockwave attacked their convoy and Optimus lost his trailer, they created a diversion so that Optimus could retrieve it. Later they helped Optimus untangle himself and were among the surviving Autobots at the end of the film.
