Autobot is an acorn creature type for a race of sentient mechanical self-configuring modular robotic lifeforms. It is a crossover type from the Tranformers franchise.

History

The creature type was first used for the 2017 HASCON promo Grimlock, Dinobot Leader, which was a mashup of Magic and Transformers (another HASBRO brand).[1] The similar card from Heroes of the Realm named Optimus Prime, Inspiring Leader later used Autobot as well.

The Transformers of Universes Beyond, which included several Autobots, instead used the Robot creature type which had been introduced prior to its release.
