Megatron is leader of the Evil Decepticons. His motto is "Peace Through Tyranny". In almost everyway Megatron is the exact opposite of Optimus Prime. He is brutal, relentless, and the very definition of Destruction. Megatron has earned the respects of his fellow Decepticons simply because of his brute power and overall undeniable leadership. The most interesting part of most incarnations of Megatron is that he truly believes that he is the good guy and that alone makes him even more terrifying.
Sunstreaker is a vain Autobot warrior and the twin brother of Sideswipe.
The right-hand man of Megatron. Master of intelligence gathering thanks to cold personality and his mini cons. Megatron has stated many times that Soundwave is one of the few Decepticons he trust completely and the other Decepticons hate him for it. He is known to transform into some sort of radio device but when he does turn into a vehicle it is either a jet or truck. Soundwave's voice is one of the most iconic in the franchise because it can only be done with the assistance of a vocoder.
The 'mad scientist' and chief inventor for the heroic Autobots. Transforms into a Lancia Stratos Turbo (Generation 1) or a Ford Mustang (Alternators).
The leader of the Autobots in their war against the Decepticons, Optimus Prime is a noble robot that believes freedom is the right of all sentient beings. He has fallen many times over the course of his different incarnations, but always returns in the Autobots' darkest hour. He truly believes that true peace may never occur until "All Are One". He has had several alternate modes throughout his many different incarnations, but is most renowned for his earliest transformation into a semi-truck.
The second-in-command of the Decepticons. He seeks to rule, but is held back by his cowardice. Nevertheless, his ruthless efficiency, stealth, and speed on the battlefield make him a valuable ally. However, he is the complete opposite of fellow Decepticon Soundwave because of the fact that he is not truly loyal to Megatron and is one of the Decepticons Megatron truly doesn't trust. Yet even with all the treachery he always finds himself somewhat in Megatron's favor.
Small but tough Autobot that has an affinity for interacting with humans. He is one of the most well known Autobots and in most incarnations is Optimus Prime's right hand man. The latest incarnations of this character has had a inability too speak and having to rely between hand signs and/or radio channels to make whole sentences.
Ravage is one of Soundwave's cassette tape minions and one of Megatron's most loyal warriors.
Soundwave's minion used for reconnaissance who has a special place in Megatron's heart as a reliable source of Autobot secrets.
The Autobot's medic. Ratchet is usually one of the older Autobots and has wisdom to match his age. He is a skilled medic and scientist when needed. Along with Bumblebee he is one of Optimus Prime's most loyal and closest comrades. He is often asked to join the front lines when the Autobots are low on fire power. He may be a medic but when called on in battle he is one of the most fierce.

The City Commander and second-in-command of the Autobot army, Ultra Magnus is more comfortable in his role as a soldier than a leader.
Hardhead is a heavily armored and armed Autobot. In IDW continuity, he is a tough soldier willing to do whatever dirty deeds are necessary to clean up a mess. He willingly condemned himself to the Dead Universe rather than surrender.
The leader of the Constructicons and Megatron's favorite, Scrapper transforms into the right leg of Devastator and a shovel tractor and is often the primary planner of his team's work.
Bluestreak is one of the fastest Autobots around. He got his name from being able to go so fast he appears to be a "blue streak".
