The Transformer Characters who lead the way!

So youve heard of Transformers Characters like Optimus Prime and Megatron, leaders of the Autobots and Decepticons during G1.  But there is so much more to the continuity.  In G1 Alpha Trion created Optimus Prime, seemingly the first of the Primes, followed by Rodimus Prime (with a breif stint by Ultra Magnus in between).  The G1 cartoon also states Megatron as being the first major Decpticon leader, later being rebuilt into Galvatron.

In Japan however stretches Transformers Characters much further.  After Rodimus Prime leaves to find a new planet (since Cybertron is destoryed in their continuity), Fortress Maximus takes command, later to be lead by Brave Maximus, who passes the torch onto God Ginrai, Star Saber, and finally Dai Atlas. The Transformers Characters on the Decepicton side has long list of Leaders also, with Scorponok leading after Galvatron followed by Overlord, Black Zarak, and Dezsaras.

The Japanese did things well, and made for quite an interesting series.  But the Transformers characters wre again slightly different in the comic book universe.  With Optimus Prime being preceeded by Sentinel Prime, who is destroyed by Megatron. Theses Charactersall gave the Transformers a deep history, creating a deeper universe for fans to follow.
