Transformers: Generation 1 (originally aired as simply The Transformers) is the original and some would say best incarnation of Transformers. If you say "Transformers", it's more than likely people will believe that you're talking about this one. It first aired in 1984 as a way to advertise Hasbro’s Transformers toy line, which was made from altering Takara’s Diaclone and Microchange lines through redecos or retools (paint or mild alterations).
The original toys were not intelligent robots but remote controlled mechs used by human pilots. Under the Transformers brand every toy was a sentient robot, and the story was written to accomodate that. Characters were created that eventually became legend and are closely associated with further Transformers continuity lines. Such include Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Bumblebee and others who form general character types.
The Transformers cartoon
The show was initially written by Marvel Productions, and later Marvel in collaboration with Sunbow. Animation was done in Japan mostly by Toei Animation and a few lesser known studios.
The show concerned the war between two factions of sentient robots - the heroic Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, and the evil Decepticons, led by Megatron. In the three-part opening, the Autobots fled their home planet of Cybertron after the war drained it of much of its energy. The Decepticons followed and, after a short space battle, they crash-landed on Earth, where they lay dormant for four million years.
