Who started the autobots?

Answer 1

If you've seen any of the TF films you should know who the Autobots are.

in the beginning of the TF universe, all Autobots and Decepticons were friends.

until Megatrones(aka Megatron,named after one of the original Primes seen in the second movie aka the Fallen) and Orion Pax(aka Optimus Prime) were bf's. that's why in the first movie Optimus say"you leave me no chose BROTHER" its because they were best friends,and agreed on almost everything, almost. Megatron didnt like the laws on Cybertron and wanted to become a "Prime" so he could change it. just like in the supreme cort. but the Primes didnt agree with Megatron. thin they saw how passionate Optimus was. whitch won them over, so they made Orion pax a Prime. Megatron was outraged, all he wanted was things done the right way. (In his defense the Primes that were in-charge at the time were horrible. That's way Megatron wanted to change thing for the better) Megatron gathered Transformers that agreed with him. they were none as the Decepticons. and anyone that didnt agree were called Autobots. and thin there was the war that Megatron started with new intentions, whitch was to destroy the Primes, all excepted Optimus Prime.

so your question: who started the Autobots

the Autobots came from Primes the "Creator" of the planet Cybertron.

first came the Primes that were created as antibodys to destroy the harvester of death none as Unicron, then came the citizens of Cyertron called Cybertroyans (aka transformers), and then came the split of Autobots and Decepticons.

I hope that's helpful :)
