In the second season of this hit 1980s cartoon, the Autobots, the Dinbobots and the Aerialbots take on Megatron and his wily Decepticons, battling them on Earth, on Cybertron, on the moon Titan and even inside Megatron himself.

More ferocious battles await in Season 3 of this Saturday-morning cartoon staple, which finds the Autobots squaring off against their newest foe: the Quintessons. The Decepticons also have some devious new tricks, such as using music as a weapon.

With characters inspired by a line of 1980s action figures, this animated series deals with two factions of alien robots, both able to disguise themselves as everyday vehicles, as they battle on Earth for energy to bring to their home planet.

In the three-episode fourth season of this smash-hit animated series, the Autobots and Decepticons fight over the key to the Cybertron plasma chamber in an epic battle that strands many of them on Nebulos, a planet ruled by the despotic Hive.
