Autobots

The Autobots are fictional characters and superheroes appearing in the the universe of the Transformers, a collection of various toys, cartoons, movies, graphic novels, and paperback books first introduced in 1984. They are benevolent, sentient, self-configuring robotic lifeforms from the planet Cybertron. Led by Optimus Prime, they are the main protagonists in the Transformers franchise. The "Heroic Autobots" are opposed by the "Evil Decepticons". Both Autobots and Decepticons are humanoid robots that can transform into machines, vehicles and other familiar mechanical objects, as well as mimic organic lifeforms (Dinobots and Maximals). Autobots typically transform into regular cars, trucks, or other road vehicles (automobiles) but some are aircraft, military vehicles, communication devices, weapons, and even robotic animals. These Autobots are often grouped into special "teams" that have the suffix "-bot" at the end, such as in Dinobot (Decepticon groups' names end in "-con").
Autobots are a sub-race of Cybertronian, a fictional species of sentient self-configuring modular robotic lifeforms. They are a synergistic blend of biological evolution and technological engineering. The exotic materials that make up their composition is a living metal with a self-replicating cellular structure and genetic code.
In Japan, the Autobots are called "Cybertrons" (サイバトロン, Saibatoron) except in the film series, Transformers Animated, and Transformers: Prime, where they are referred to as Autobots (オートボット, Ōtobotto). In Italy, they are called "Autorobots". The Autobot insignia is also sometimes referred to as an "Autobrand" in issue #14 of the Marvel Comics series. The descendants of the Autobots, the Maximals from Transformers: Beast Wars, are also known as Cybertrons in Japan.
In the Michael Bay live action films, as well as in the CGI-animated series Transformers: Prime, the title Autobots is explained to be the short version of the title Autonomous Robotic Organisms.

=== Iago PUC's ideas ===
* The Autobots appear as guest characters in Marvel's Spider-Man: Webbed Champion. Appearing in the crossover arc "Legendary Universes", the group consists of Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen), Arcee (voiced by Sumalee Montano), Bumblebee (voiced by Josh Keaton), Ratchet (voiced by Jim Meskimen, and Bulkhead (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson, as well as Dinobots Grimlock (voiced by Travis Willingham), Swoop, and Slug. Their human allies consist of Army Rangers officer William "Will Bill" Lennox (voiced by Crispin Freeman), young genius and adventurer Izabella Morgan (voiced by Melanie Minichino), and Special Agt. William Fowler (voiced by Phil LaMarr). Officially appearing in "Part 4: Heroes in Disguise", the Autobots and their human allies team up with Spider-Man and his team of Champions to defeat Predaking, who was resurrected by crystals powered by Kree technology which was salvaged and discarded by Oscorp's engineers weeks ago and now seeks to convert human technology to his own liking and take revenge on the Decepticons for attempting to enslave him. The Autobots later appear in "Part 6: Ultimate Alliance", where they join the Avengers and Champions on the battle against the Regent and his army from the Negative Zone.
** Autobots Optimus Prime, Arcee, and Bumblebee make a cameo in Marvel's Superhero Adventures: Infinity War. They appear alongside Isabella, watching the Multiverse Star being unlocked by the superheroes' completion of the Infinity Amulet.
