Autobots

 * Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen): the committed, inspirational & selfless leader of the Autobots who was chosen by the High Council & was made into a Prime as shown in flashbacks. 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 & doesn't go on killing sprees. He transforms into a Red/Blue/Silver Kenworth KW900 Semi-Truck with a trailer that can become a flightpack in battle.
 * 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. He transforms into a Yellow/Black/Red 2017 Acura NSX Sports Car.
 * Ironhide (Hugh Jackman): Autobot Third-in-Command, a battle-hardened veteran & Optimus' bodyguard who speaks in a Southern accent & prefers actions to words & dislikes talk for talk's sake. Though he may be rough around the edges, he's still optimistic & upbeat. He's more than a little trigger-happy where he's willing to push the Autobot code to the limit if he thinks it could get the job done faster. Unlike the previous film series, he doesn't die. He transforms into a Red/Grey/Black/Blue/Orange/White/Green 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor Pickup Truck.
