Autobots

The Autobots (オートボット, Ōtobotto), is a group that appears in the DC's Transformers series created by Bob Budiansky. They are a heroic and honorable unit group of the best Cybertronian freedom fighters, in search of unity and harmony, believe all sentient beings have their place in the universe and deserve to live peacefully.

As a result, they are usually Transformers who change into non-combat oriented alternate modes such as domestic vehicles, cars, trucks, or rescue vehicles. This is not always the case, however, as their ranks certainly contain ne'er-do-wells, malcontents, and unsavory types, and the necessities of war have led many to adopt more combat-oriented alternate forms.

They are in a war, they tend to be dedicated to peace, and feel a need to protect other races against the tyranny of the Decepticons, who were lead by Megatron. The collective noun for Autobots is an "exaltation".

"We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron." "But we are mostly called Autobots for short."
