The 10 most powerful Autobots of the Generation One era have been ranked.

In the year ၁၉၈၄: The Transformers set a record for the most powerful G1 Autobots ever.

The original generation of Transformers holds a special place in the hearts of fans, and ၁၉၈၄'s The Transformers laid the foundation for a franchise that is still going strong today. All Autobots it introduced were static but lacked powerful characters, and autobots such as Optimus Prime and Omega Supreme are some of the best warriors on Cybertron. Decades later, these Transformers stand out as many of the most powerfulAutobots from the G1 era.

The Matrix of Optimus Prime supports the power of the Autobots.

Optimus Prime carries the Matrix of Leadership after being handed over by ancient Autobot leaders. His last encounter with Megatron was in The Transformers : Battle for Autoboth City, where both Optimum and Megatronic were mortally wounded in the film. Defeating Prime in a direct conflict proves that the Decepticon leader is worth JUST .

Optimus Prime's influence extends beyond his battles, and future Autobot leaders must inherit parts of his legacy.

Omega Supreme has Guardian-level power, which is unmatched by regular Autobots.

Omega Supreme stands as one of the ancient guardians of Cybertron. Built to survive attacks that can easily destroy an ordinary Transformers . Its thick armor is equally resistant to energy blasts and explosions, while its plasma blaster can damage solid metal.

The Omega Supreme has a range of mobility and combat options as its tank, missile and firing base models give it unique battlefield flexibility. Its tank posture supports extreme power, and its rocket-firing base makes it one of the most physically robust Guardian robots.

Rodimus Prime overthrew the Matrix against Unicron.

The Hot Rod pulls the Matrix of Leadership off Galvatron's neck and nearly suffocates Unicron inside his body, instantly transforming him into Rodimus Prime.

Rodimus Prime uses the Matrix to unleash his destructive energy from within Unicron, ending the biggest threat that Autobots have faced in all of G1's history. While Ultra Magnus previously possessed the matrix but was unable to activate its power, Rhodes Sparrow successfully unlocks its full potential.

Metroplex transformed the Autobot city into a powerful weapon.

The Transformers G1 Tech Specs give the Metrplex a carrying capacity of ၇၀,၀၀၀ tons and an armor that can only damage the most powerful nuclear weapons. These specifications make the Metropex a powerhouse.

Due to Metropolis's large size, it is able to dominate the forces of Autobots and Decepticons. Battles with Tripecon demonstrate his immense physical strength, defeating and overthrowing the giant Despot. The tripecon gains advantage only when an external disturbance affects the metropolis systems.

Fortress Maximus combines a living Autobot with a city-sized war machine.

Fortress Maximus has great mechanical power due to its three-part design. After Spike Witwicky and Cerebros teamed up with the Transtector frame, they created Fortress maximus. This combination gave Fortress maximum a human's strategic decision making skills, an Autobot's attack experience, and the incredible power of a city-sized war machine.

Spike Witwicky rebuilds Fortress Maximus from the ruins of an abandoned Hive city on Nebulos, and transforms the enemy's remaining technology into a walking treasure featuring pulse guns and heat-detecting blasters. Although Fortress maximus fights as a pacifist who uses his cannons only out of necessity, in every recorded battle he demonstrates that Decepticon troops suffer massive defeats when they actually do engage.

Superion turns five Aerialbots into a single destructive robot titan

Superion combines five Aerialbots into a single destructible Titan. Wheeljack reverse-engineers the Devastator's combination code to build the Superions, which originally meant that the set of Aerialbot would hit the Decepticon combine precisely at their weakest point.

The Superion is also the only Combiner built to fly, and this air superiority allows one to launch a reanimated Guardian robot single-handedly through the roof when there's no backup combiner. Stamping down an entire Decepticon flying fortress from the sky during the Bruticus conflict demonstrates how effectively large threats can be accommodated.

Grimlock was the most powerful of all dinosaurs.

Wheeljack created Grimlock and the Dinobots from information about Earth's history, a task that empowered them to control their imagination.

Along with four other Dinobots, Grimlock is able to defeat the Decepticon synthesizers in one battle. In addition, a rare accident temporarily boosts Grimlocks' intelligence, which he uses to design and build Technobots from scratch. By transferring this same knowledge boost to Computron, the Autobots gain the advantage they need over the Terrorcon gestalt Abominus.

Jetfire's firepower makes him one of the most powerful Autobots.

Jetfire worked as a Cybertronian scientist and explorer long before the war began, and this non-military background highlighted his fighting prowess. Being frozen in Arctic ice for millions of years has never diminished the size or power built into its body. The Decepticons who enslaved him watched an entire team of Autobot explorers compete before he ever switched sides.

Rejecting Megatron's command and sentencing to death the Autobots and humans rescued from the iceberg on JUST proved that Jetfire's power did not rely on blind loyalty by either group. When his tactics overstepped his limits, he fought against the Decepticons and survived being mortally wounded by Starscream's guns.

Ultra Magnus controls the command-level power, but the Matrix itself is never opened.

Optimus Prime's choice of Ultra Magnus to carry the Matrix of Leadership demonstrates just how much Autobots trust his power and judgment after he was mortally wounded in the Battle for Autobot City. Rocket launchers mounted on his shoulders hit targets 30 miles away, and his hand-to-hand combat skills are sharp enough to command Wreckers.

Although the Matrix was never opened for Magnus, he retained power and took over the defences of Autobot City, later serving as Rodimus Prime's second-in-command. Holding many such powers while still fighting in full force even without it set Magnus apart from the other Autobots who needed energy and status to compete with them.

Star Saber's swordsmanship makes him the most feared warrior of Cybertron.

Transformers : The victory crowns Star Saber as the greatest swordsman in the universe and solidifies his position as Autobot sovereign. His saber blade cuts through Decepticon armor; other Autobots need fire to shoot, and his jet mode's sabre lasers boost firepower that most soldiers focused on their sword have not bothered to develop.

Joined with the lioness Victory Leo, she forms Victory Saber whose power has grown enough to defeat and annihilate Decepticon warlord Deathsaurus. Star Saber had kept Deathsauros' castle locked in a gravity cell for centuries, proving that her tactical skills were equal to his swordsmanship.

The Transformers that started it all is still an important force today, as the most powerful Autobots of the G1 era converted their durability, leadership, flight, size, intelligence or combat skills into clear battlefield advantages.
