I've changed the word 'races' to 'factions' in the description of the first season of Transformers.  In TF:TM the narrator refers to ALL Transformers when he calls them ""a unique race of transforming robots.""  I think it is more accurate to refer to Autobots and Decepticons as subgroups akin political groups or even nationalities within the Transformer race.
