Four million years ago, on the planet Cypertron, two factions of transforming robots have fought for a millennia. This war has ended up with these two titans: the noble Autobots on one side, the vicious Decepticons on the other, crashing onto the planet Earth. Revived in the present and redesigned to blend in with the local technology, the Decepticons strive to gain the means to return to Cyperton, even if they have to suck Earth dry to do so. The Autobots meanwhile befriend the humans and help protect them and Earth from the Decepticons.

Of Interest:

This series ran for four seasons, with Transformers: The Movie running chronologically in-between the second and third.

The transformers and its associated universe have undergone many different transitions and alterations from the original series (generally referred to as Generation One)… follow up series like Transformers Victory and spin-off Beast-Wars. More recent versions are referred to in their titles as the Armada, Energon and Cypertron sagas. Most of these introduced new characters as well as reinvented familiar faces, with some of the later variants introduced the tiny Mini-Con transformers to the mix, which would act as augmenters to the full sized versions.
