REVERT: I changed this back today based on my recollection of the comic. I will admit that I am not 100% sure on this, but close. While I usually could reference the entire Marvel series (I have the complete 80-issue series as well as the Headmaster and GI Joe crossovers and most (possibly all) of the Gen II Marvel comic archive), I am currently away from home...I am at Fort Benning preparing to possibly deploy to Iraq having been recalled to active duty. IF I am wrong, certainly change it back, but REFERENCE the issue, page and frame in this talk page, please. (That's what I would do were I the one to be changing the original were it contested.) Thanks much! VigilancePrime 01:09, 20 January 2007 (UTC) Till All Are One!
Aren't the Decepticons from Cybertron too? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.208.242.8 (talk) 13:57, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
I just got redirected from Terrorcon, which is a subgroup of Decepticons, not Autobots. Jayteasee (talk) 07:21, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
REVERT in order to remove this: Rodimus Prime [According to the Transformers the movie (released in 1986) where Optimus prime had his final fight at the autobot base on earth. And Rodimus was a hot head who had to figure out how it worked, but once the matrix accepted him he went from being a hot headed hotrod car to a cool modified hotrod recreation vehicle.(( then back in the series Optimus was brought back. Optimus recovered the Matrix and was returned to Optimus Prime.]
This is a bad add, and I'll tell you why, justifying each aspect I identified on the revert notice. (Note: some of this information could be the basis of a different, larger, more informational add.)

I reorganized the Autobot names by their group affiliations, and removed many of the links. Some, like Bumblebee and Jazz, were pointing to mainstream entries, and they really shouldn’t. I’m also not convinced that every Autobot needs his own page. --Plicease 14:49, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I did some heavy editing to the list of known G1 Autobots. Someone had had the "brilliant" idea to make the links to Headmaster Jrs and Powermasters go to the Japanese versions instead of the American ones - when none of them had any articles. I edited the links to actually go to what they said they would, adding the Japanese ones in parantheses. Was this written by some Japan-addicted fanboy geek who wasn't even born when the G1 toyline was cancelled? — JIP | Talk 19:54, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Sean Black seems insistant that the list provided by many hard workign contributors should not be included. While I agree there are better uses for the page "Autobot", I disagree with his quick removal. I ask for a contributer more fluent in wikipedia page making to take the list (which can still be accessed in the page history, of course) and make a page called List of Autobot/Maximals. --Orion Minor 06:56, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
I've put the list at List of Autobots. There are many entries on that list that don't appear in Category:Autobots, and furthermore the list is grouped by character type rather than a simple alphabetic listing, so there's information in this list that isn't present in the category listing. Bryan 07:29, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
And now there are the corresponding List of Decepticons, List of Predacons and List of Maximals too. Hopefully this arrangement will satisfy everyone, the information is retained but the root articles for those character types are no longer 90% character listing. Bryan 07:37, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
I know that there is already a list of Autobots and list of Decepticons pages, however I would like to know if anyone would be opposed to a Generation 1 list for this page which has both Autobots and Decepticons. It is a bit more compact and you can view it here Libro0 00:38, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
It's not exactly a 'real' logo, so can it be removed? The original Autobot logo can be moved into the fan one's place--$UIT 05:24, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Image:Autobot logo s.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 21:57, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Why this keeps getting added back I do not know. Referencing includes these forms, all of which are and have been in the article:
To say that "THE ARTICLE" is unsourced is, well, incorrect bordering on ignorant. Perhaps portions of it are questionable (I would validate the red eyes v. blue eyes thing), but the article in general cites sources... better than many, many other WikiArticles. VigilancePrime 15:15, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
List is done. Article is (constant) work-in-progress. Referenced now, and the references will grow. Thanks for providing the catalyst to improve the articles. VigilancePrime 17:56, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
While I see the point, I think those two examples have FAR more material to source from, and thus would need more specifics. We could cite issue, page, panel and line, but that'd be a whole lot of overkill. At the same time, a lot of the old issues are being collated and republished, leading to citation conflicts (page 1 in one series may, though the very same panel, be page 47 in another). That said, though, I'll continue working on sourcing, something I am, admittedly, not as strong at compared to editing, protecting, and content-adding.
Thanks for the assistance. I hope you'll be around for helping with the sourcing as well. :-)
VigilancePrime 00:27, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
Removed the unsourced tag once again. Since sources have been given, the continued addition of this tag is beginning to look like harassment.
--Tarantulas 10:47, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
In other words, as I have begun doing. I can see the points on both sides but have fallen into the Madchester camp on this. Thanks for your help in bringing that shortcoming to light. I've started adding more specific references and will continue to do so. VigilancePrime 16:49, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, didn't Optimus Prime always say "Autobots, roll out!" because originally most of the autobots were automobiles? --Kjoonlee 21:34, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

respectfully OPPOSE;
i'm not a huge fan of the practice of creating mega-glommed-together pop-culture articles with everything stuff onto one page to appease the "anti-fancruft" editors, BUT even if we're going to do that, "autobots" is pretty clearly the wrong place to merge the "witwicky family" article.
sam IS NOT an "autobot", & the rest of his family isn't even closely-associated with the autobots (at least in the recent films).
if we had a meta-article for "humancharacter in the transformers universe/franchise/livwe-action-films/whatever", that would be fine; if we had one humongous-long meta-article for all the transformer characters, that would be fine as well, but this doesn't belong in "autobots".
sam may be affiliated with the autobots, he might even be an "honourary member", & lord only knows what he does @ parties when he is wasted (or in the privacy of his own bedroom-bathroom-shower); but the only thing he ever transforms into is a huge annoying-whiny-stupid-dumbass-jerk-douchebag. (i actually like shia labouef; but i mean, the way his character is written sometimes... >__<!! no wonder his hot girlfriend ditched him after the 2nd film. if i was in bumblebee's place, i'd ditch him too; & it wouldn't take me 3(+) films worth of loyal friendship to get sick of his crap... being "funny" only takes you so far. :p) </endrant>
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Heavy Duty (Transformers) and has thus listed it for discussion.

It doesn't really seem like Autobot and Decepticon are notable by themselves. Perhaps they could be merged into Cybertronian or Transformer (fictional species)? 2605:B40:13E7:F600:949F:C33D:7BD5:A7CC (talk) 23:43, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
