Autobot

Good-guy shapeshifter robot

Autobot is a faction of heroic sentient robots in the Transformers franchise, opposed to the villainous Decepticons.

Led by Optimus Prime, Autobots are characterized by their protection of humans and ability to transform into vehicles.

The term sometimes extends loosely to any good-guy robot: He's basically an Autobot—always helping everyone out.
