Autobots

 * Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen): the current, committed, inspirational & selfless leader of the Autobots from the Elite Guard who used to be Orion Pax who was chosen by the High Council & was made into a Prime. Despite being one of the youngest Cybertronian leaders, he demonstrated extraordinary courage & wisdom above any of his fellow Autobots or in fact any other life form. He treats all lives with benevolence, fights for freedom & peace & continues to fight to protect the weak & maintain their beliefs. His biggest consequence after obtaining the Matrix is his bringing of the Transformers' conflict to Earth. Every causality weighs heavily on his spark, but it fails to break him. Unlike the previous film series, he doesn't have a mouth like his Generation 1 & War for Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron/Rise of the Dark Spark counterparts & doesn't lose faith in humanity. He transforms into a Red/Blue/Black/Silver/Yellow/Purple/White/Green/Tan Kenworth K100 Aerodyne Cab-Over Semi-Truck.
 * Bumblebee (Aaron Paul): Autobot Second-in-Command & Reconnaissance Officer who was one of the last Transformers created by the Allspark before it went into hibernation & is one of the most open & receptive of all the Autobots when it comes to befriending other species. However, he desires to be recognized which forces him to try to seize the opportunity to display his courage. In secrecy, though, he's a competent scout like no other. Unlike the previous film series, he doesn't lose his voice to Megatron before coming to Earth. He has a battle mask like his live-action counterpart & transforms into a Yellow/Black/Red/Green/Silver/Blue/White 2017 Ford Focus ST Sports Car.
