June 8, 2009 – The battle between good and evil is not just limited to humans. Robots have their disagreements too, and sometimes the only way to settle them is with an epic brawl for the ages. This is how the robotic denizens of Cybertron have handled things for countless millennia. There are the Autobots and the Decepticons. The former fight to preserve life on Earth, while the latter seek to rule it over the charred remains of their enemies.

The Transformers saga is home to many familiar faces, both good an evil. Today, we honor the greatest of the good. In this Top 10 Generation One (and Gen 1 only) Autobots feature, we chronicle the 10 Autobot heroes who have kept the Transformers franchise alive and thriving all these years. With Teletran 1’s help, we rank and filed our top 10 favorites using the following criteria: strength/ability, role within the universe, pop-culture impact, popularity and our friend, Editor’s Choice.

These are our favorites, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t others who deserve more acclaim. Assemble at the comments section and post your picks for the greatest Autobots of all time.
