List of Autobots
This is a list of known Autobots in the Transformers fictional universe and toy line. The alternate modes of Autobots are usually cars, trucks, and various other ground-based civilian vehicles, to contrast with the military vehicles favored by the Decepticons (see List of Decepticons). One of the most notable Autobots is B-Skaf, who could turn a van into a train."Powerdashers are mail order Transformers whose name stood for one of three available molds."
Cybertron
Eventually, what little the Transformers knew of their origins would be lost to time. A new society arose, known as the Autobots. The Autobots were a peaceful people, led by Optimus Prime, head of the Science Division, and Protector Megatron, head of the Defense Force. The two leaders created a balance; Optimus was fair while Megatron was firm. Their world's main cities included Tyger Pax, Metrotitan, Simfur, and the capital city of Trypticon. Another area of importance was Burthov, where the Science Division had many facilities. In time, the Autobots began work on a dig near the Simfur Temple, discovering the remains of the Twelve's sarcophagi and the intact sarcophagus of The Fallen. At the same time, unknown alien hostiles attacked Cybertron. Megatron had Optimus remove the intact artifact to his quarters to better protect it, allowing him to come under the influence of The Fallen.
