action

Later, the AllSpark is blown up into several fragments, which transform normal machines into transformers and which have to decide which side to take.
main characters
Autobots
- Optimus Prime
After Optimus successfully graduated from Autobot University, he was sent on a research mission along with Elita-1 and Sentinel. You landed on a forbidden planet. Optimus rebelled against Sentinel's will to explore the planet, but Sentinel went alone with Elita-1, whereupon Optimus is forced to come with and protect her. Elita-1 is (apparently) killed by an accident during the stay and when he is brought to court, Optimus takes all the blame on himself. So Ultra Magnus cannot grant him entry to the Elite Guard. However, since Magnus thought he was special, he leaves him his title as Prime, assigns him a team of space bridge repairers and gives him his own ship. At one of the space bridges, he and his team find the AllSpark, which they have to protect from the Decepticons. He is the leader of the Autobots on Earth and hates combat.
- Ratchet
At the time of the War of the Worlds, Ratchet had to rescue a security agent who carried secret codes, the Autobot named Arcee, from the Decepticons. She was caught by Lockdown, a bounty hunter, along with Ratchet. To keep the security codes from falling into the hands of the Decepticons, Ratchet had to erase Arcee's hard drive. Ratchet is the group's medi-bot. He's a great mechanic, but he's always very upset about every little thing.
- Bumblebee
Because of his annoying manner and his recklessness, he always gets his Autobot comrades into trouble. He is fascinated by human culture and loves to watch TV with Sari or to race with other drivers.
- Bulkhead
He is the largest and strongest of the Autobots that crashed on Earth. He's clumsy and a bit difficult to understand, but you can always count on him when there are problems. He found a hobby on earth: painting.
As it turns out later, he is Cybertron's best expert on space bridges, but nobody really wants to believe him. Just like Bumblebee, Sentinel was his Sgt. In his training. After completing his apprenticeship, he started his dream job: space bridge mechanic.
- Prowl
He is a silent loner who only trusts himself. He is fascinated by organic life forms and loves to observe them.
- Ultra Magnus
He is the supreme leader of the Autobots and commander of the Elite Guard. As a bot, he fought with an electric hammer and transformed into a missile launch vehicle. Like all of the Guard, his emblem has two wings.
- jazz
Jazz is a member of the elite guard and Ultra Magnus is very devoted. When Sentinel told in that oranisms were spitting phlegm, he became afraid of people. As a weapon he had four laser chokus and he was a champion in the Cybertron Ninja School.
Decepticons
- Megatron
He is the leader of the Decepticons and does everything to ensure that they rule Cybertron. At the beginning of the series, he is so badly damaged by the Starscream assassination, the fight against the Autobots and the resulting fall through the atmosphere that apparently only his head is halfway intact. After his reincarnation he transforms into a helicopter that uses his swords as rotors and his blaster, which is attached to his right arm in robot mode, as an on-board cannon.
- Starscream
He is loyal to Megatron, but he takes every opportunity to become the leader of the Decepticons. For this reason he betrays Megatron and is therefore largely to blame for his current condition, which is why he is killed by Megatron with the key. But when the ALLSpark explodes, a large fragment of it penetrates into it and therefore becomes a kind of zombie that rises again and again.
