Holders of the Matrix become one with the Matrix, such that when the holder dies, his Spark - the Transformer life-force - is absorbed into the Matrix. The Matrix is said to choose its own holder and when it is taken by a new leader (at the old leader's death), it transforms him into a larger, more powerful, wiser Autobot commander. (Although in the original continuity, Primus was not established.) It identifies the one Autobot Commander that is entrusted with the Creation Matrix, also known as the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. Many of these leaders use the title of Prime, a direct linguistic descendant of Primus. counterpart is Powermaster Optimus Prime), Victory Saber, and Dai Atlas.

In the Michael Bay live action films, as well as in the CGI-animated series Transformers: Prime, the title Autobots is explained to be the short version of the title Autonomous Robotic Organisms. The descendants of the Autobots, the Maximals from Transformers: Beast Wars, are also known as Cybertrons in Japan. The Autobot insignia is also sometimes referred to as an "Autobrand" in issue #14 of the Marvel Comics series. In Japan, the Autobots are called " Cybertrons" ( サイバトロン, Saibatoron) except in the film series, Transformers Animated, and Transformers: Prime, where they are referred to as Autobots ( オートボット, Ōtobotto).

The exotic materials that make up their composition is a living metal with a self-replicating cellular structure and genetic code. They are a synergistic blend of biological evolution and technological engineering. These Autobots are often grouped into special "teams" that have the suffix "-bot" at the end, such as in Dino bot (Decepticon groups' names end in "-con").Īutobots are Cybertronian descendants of Protectons, who are a fictional species of sentient self-configuring modular robotic lifeforms from Skalorr. Autobots typically transform into regular cars, trucks, or other road vehicles ( automobiles) but some are aircraft, military vehicles, communication devices, weapons, and even robotic animals. Both Autobots and Decepticons are humanoid robots that can transform into machines, vehicles and other familiar mechanical objects, as well as mimic organic lifeforms (Dinobots). The "Heroic Autobots" are opposed by the "Evil Decepticons". Led by Optimus Prime, they are the main protagonists in the universe of the Transformers, a collection of various toys, cartoons, movies, graphic novels, and paperback books first introduced in 1984. The Autobots are benevolent, sentient, self-configuring robotic lifeforms from the planet Cybertron.
