Transformers have two kinds: good Autobot's leader is Optimus Prime (Convoy in Japan. In Japan he has a laser sword, you can see that in the 2007 Transformers film). Evil Decepticon's leader is Megatron (changed later to Galvatron). They have unintentionally transferred war from their home planet Cybertron to Earth.
Megatron is treacherous and cruel, and can change to a laser gun. Optimus Prime is bold and fair, and change to a truck. Optimus Prime is one of charismatic cartoon characters of all time. Optimus Prime is little bit dictatorial, no one is defying his commandments. Decepticons have continous struggle from power.
Generation 1 (G1) is a fan-term, which refers to the original until 1991 released Transformers toys, cartoons and characters. Generation 2 contains the years 1992–1995. Other generations has been including Beast Wars, Robots in Disguise, Transformers Armada and Unicron Trilogy. (Continues below.)
