Autobot leader Optimus Prime prepares for battle in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

It is practically a cliché at this point to say that, in the world of Transformers, there is more than meets the eye. Beginning with the original cartoon in 1984 , the franchise tells the tale of warring factions of sentient robots from the planet Cybertron, predominantly the peace-loving Autobots and the tyrannical Decepticons. Led by Optimus Prime and Megatron , respectively, they bring their fight to multiple worlds, especially Earth, where the Autobots vow to protect the human race.

Perhaps his most significant role since G1 came in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. In that film, Mirage is unintentionally carjacked by Noah Diaz but decides to befriend him and bring him to the Autobot base, kick-starting the film’s plot. Thus, Mirage joins the group of best movie robots, taking Bumblebee's place as the Autobot with a human bond. However, Mirage has a more playful, wisecracking personality than the more childlike, innocent, and mute Bumblebee.

While far from the smartest robot and resentful of the Autobots’ authority, Grimlock is strong, means well, and will do the right thing when the time comes. When he made his live-action debut in Transformers: Age of Extinction, his appearance was radically changed to look like a T-Rex skeleton possessed by a demon for Optimus to ride into battle. While this change came at the cost of his silly personality, it still showed how cool the concept of a Dinobot truly is.

Initially an inexperienced leader, Primal begins the series with a more youthful and rule-bending demeanor than Optimus Prime. He slowly grows into a leader who stands apart from Optimus while learning from his style of leadership, even if he doesn't always come across as an authority figure.

4 Unicron Designation: Himself/Decepticon What's more intimidating than a robot that can transform into a car, animal, or dinosaur? How about a robot that can transform into an entire planet? While Megatron may be the most prominent villain in Transformers, Unicron is the closest thing the franchise has to a true big bad. Much like the Marvel villain Galactus, Unicron's only goal is to move from planet to planet, consume it and destroy all its life, then move onward to the next one.

While the G1 version of Bumblebee has a color scheme and relationship with humans that help him stand out from the other Autobots, his popularity among younger audiences kicked into overdrive when he became the primary robot protagonist of the 2007 live-action movie. Rendered unable to talk without his car radio due to an injury from the War of Cybertron, his relationship with Sam Witwicky became the heart of the film.
