Rebellion on Planet Beast still (at 10.02 min) Here are the stills out of the episode from the actual sentence (English subtitled since Transformers The Headmasters series was fully in Japanese): At 9.55 min these famous words are spoken by one of the Autobot Transformers arriving on Planet Beast to support the remaining Beasts, who automatically join the Autobot faction, in their Battle against the Beasts who have joined sides with the Decepticons. This very important and crucial line for the origin of the actual division comes from the Transformers The Headmasters Episode 5: Rebellion on Planet Beasts. But where did it originate from and who decided to place one Beast in the Autobot faction while the other ended up on the Decepticon side… ¨I see, so it´s the reptiles, fish and amphibians Since TAKARA launched the Battle Beasts line in Japan as a spin-off from the Transformers line the presence of the two famous Transformer factions amongst the Beasts is not so strange. Firstly shown and explained is the origin of this division.įor the origin of the division of the Battle Beasts into Autobots and Decepticons it is impossible to ignore the connection that this line has with the Transformers. Please scroll down for the actual division of the various series of Beasts over the two factions. Again no reasoning is given for the names.One of the Inserts that was included in the Japanese single boxes which clearly shows the presence of the two factions.Īs briefly mentioned in the introduction about the Battle Beasts the Japanese Beastformers were divided into the two factions known from the Transformers Cybertron (Autobots) and Destron (Decepticons). Those who sided with Megatron named themselves Decepticons, and those who sided with Sentinel Prime and the Council of Ancients named themselves Autobots. In the Dreamwave comics continuity the two factions arose when Megatron started the civil war. As far as I recall, no reasoning is given for the names. When Megatron started his revolution he decided he needed to differentiate his faction, and so gave them a new name. In the Marvel comics continuity the Autobots were created by Primus and lived more or less peacefully on Cybertron. So this makes this continuity the only one were the Autobots and Decepticons were never the same race. Autobots as consumer grade machines, and the Decepticons as weaponized machines. In the 1984 cartoon continuity the two races were created separately by the Quintessons. Which, in essence, displays the philosophical differences between the two leaders. When both Optimus Prime and Megatron rise up against the corrupt government, Megatron chose to name his faction with a new name and a new sigil, while Optimus decided to repurpose the term Autobot and derive it from "autonomous" (from the people, by the people) and keep the old sigil. Auto from automatons, because in the other races' eyes the Cybertronians were long lived mechanicals who never changed in any fundamental way (despite the name Transformers). In the IDW comics continuity the Autobot moniker is given to the corrupt Cybertronian Empire by the galaxy's other races to describe these mechanical beings. "Autonomous" as in deciding one's fate by themselves. In the Aligned continuity (which is the most similar to the Michael Bay movies), the term Autobot is coined by Orion Pax as a description for the concept of abolishing the caste system that the Cybertronians were living under, not as a description for the race as a whole. The rise of the term Autobot differs with each continuity.
