They were the dream--mechanical beings able to transform their bodies into vehicles, machinery and weapons; a last line of defense against the chaos bringer, Unicron! They are at war, heroic Autobot pitted against evil Decepticon, both on their homeworld, the metal planet called Cybertron, and here on our Earth. They are the galaxy's last hope, they are-- TRANSFORMERS

"Our mission is accomplished. Further risk would be foolish."

"How come they made you Aerialbot leader, Silverbolt? You've got no sense of adventure."

"Exactly."
