While the series is not a sequel to the live-action movie, they have many thematic elements in common, most notably the central role of the AllSpark and the revelation that all modern technology has been reverse-engineered from the dormant body of Megatron. Note well: human adversaries are not new in Transformers continuity. The human villains give the Autobots 'everyday' threats, and some of their schemes are the result of Decepticon treachery. The arrival of a Decepticon in battle is a big deal, requiring multiple Autobots working together to stop even a single one.

The idea is to present the Decepticons as more of an ongoing background threat instead of having them be repeatedly defeated each episode and look like bumbling fools. The episodes center not only on the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons, but also on the Autobots' interactions with many of Detroit's human supervillain denizens, including a maladjusted marksman, a speedy racer, and a guy who looks good in a pimp suit.

The focus is on characterization, dynamic action, and humor. The series eschews the ever-continuing space opera storylines of the Unicrontrilogy cartoons to return to the episodic approach of Beast Wars most episodes are standalone stories, but with larger story arcs that stretch through the whole series. Though they were originally a lowly space bridge repair crew, these five Autobots must rise to their circumstances to deal with threats large and small. Stranded on Earth and living among the population of Detroit, they face off against a series of human villains and their mighty Decepticon foes, who seek to possess the almighty and infinitely powerful AllSpark. 'When there's trouble you know who to call.'ДЄnimated follows the adventures of a small crew of Autobots, who come into possession of the all-powerful AllSpark artifact.
