I agree.

1) With the exception of the motorcycles, the Autobots are all American cars and the Decepticons are forigein, ala the R8.

2) Here is a picture of the Decepticon in robot mode, the Decepticon symbol is on his forehead.

Actually if you go back to the originals, it would be probably be an AutoBot....

For the most part, the Autobot's were all cars and the Decepticon's were either Planes or objects or mechanical animals

Optimus - 18 wheeler (with trailer)
BumbleBee - Volkswagon Beetle
Jazz - Porsche
Ratchet - Ambulance
Prowl - 280z (police car)

Megatron - Big Gun
StarScream - American Jet (Eagle)
Soundwave - Cassette Recorder
Rumble - Cassette Tape


Here's a full list of all the characters from the cartoon:

They're Transformers, Phil.

Autobots= Good guys, started off with cars, then branched into other vehicles.
Decepticons=Bad guys, started off with planes, then into other vehicles.

I vote Decepticons

I must've hit enter at the same.

Oh boy, the geek in me is getting out.

They each had their own line of vehicles later on.

Decepticons had cars later: constructicons, stunticons...

Autobots had planes: jetfire, superion, powerglide (even earlier on)
