Transformers
Generation 1
The setup for Transformers Generation 1 is that there are clearly two distinct factions: the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons.
The two factions of Transformers Generation 1 waged war for eons on their home planet of Cybertron. Both factions needed supplies, and select numbers from each side intended to get them.
The Autobots weren't looking for a fight with the Decepticons, but they get one out in space anyway.
When the Decepitcons board the Autobots' ship it takes a beating and crashes onto Primitive Earth and knocks everyone unconscious.
Millions of years later, in 1984 a volcano eruption causes a probe to give them all new forms which come from vehicles in the surrounding area.
They all get awoken leading to a renewed conflict and the inclusion of humans each side crash landed on prehistoric Earth, reawakening (4,000,000 years later) in the present day to do battle once more.
This initial premise, in all three media (toys, TV series and comics), became more cosmic in scale as time passed.
More stories began to be set in outer space and on alien worlds, especially after The Transformers: The Movie.
Two characters, each the greatest leader of his side, became the most iconic representatives of the series: Optimus Prime of the Autobots and Megatron of the Decepticons.
After the Transformers Generation 1 featured film, Megatron was reformed as Galvatron, and Optimus Prime was replaced for a time by Rodimus Prime, only to return later on.
Both Optimus Prime and Megatron continued to appear in one form or another in subsequent Transformers series, where they maintained their leadership roles.
