What are the rankings of the Autobots?
October 28th, 2010
I know Optimus Prime was the leader, but who was second in command and after? Can someone provide a short list of the hierachy of the autobots?
I’m curious to where do the Dinobots stand in that hierachy as well.

Ironside seemed to be given preference by the rest as second in command, since he was apparently an old war buddy to Optimus. But outside that, there really isn’t any clarity in the structure. At times, Ratchet seems third, but at others Hound (who practically disappears very quickly) seems to be third in rank.
After the Dinobots joined, Grimock in some ways took over second in command, partly because he was the leader of the other Dinobots (who pretty much only listened to Grimlock), and partly because they were so vicious against the Autobots when they first appeared that everyone besides Optimus was scared of them.
There was a much clearer heirarchy in the Autobots after the movie, when Rodimus Prime takes over.
well i know the dino bots , the ape was leader , the hippo/rino ( forgot which one it was) was second in command , rattrap and someone else where 3rd in command and the rest where just rankless , with the auto bots i think it went optimus prime , then the fire truck , then bumblebee and the ambulance ( going here by the cartoons)
you aren’t talking about beast wars are you. I could have sworn that is where rattrap came from. But as far as the rankings go. There are so many different episodes in transformers that I can not answer this question accurately. But Optimus Prime is the leader
