Viewers of the new Animated series will probably have noticed that there is a considerable difference in power level between the typical Autobot and the typical Decepticon in the series. The Decepticons are very overpowered compared with Autobots (or the Autobots are very underpowered compared with the Decepticons), and some people might have wondered which one will be set at our 'normal' baseline.
We would like to point out that the Autobots in this series, unlike the Autobots in most Transformer series (ones that contain Autobots, anyway) are civilians, while the Decepticons are military, much like both Autobots and Decepticons of previous shows. So... guess what? The Animated Autobots are getting the short end of the stick.
Basically, applicants of Animated Autobot characters need to be aware that their stats will often be adjusted downwards with comparison to their toybox stats (should toybox stats ever even be provided). As a result, Animated Autobots will usually be low to low-average powered compared with characters from other series (although there will, no doubt, be exceptions). Decepticons will run average to high.
People applying for characters from this series need to be aware of this, and be prepared for stat adjustments to reflect these power levels.
Thank you.
