Transformers Aliens are Awesome

The non-Transformer aliens that show up in Transformers series are often really crazy and cool. This giant sunflower/caterpillar monster thing, for instance.

There's also a planet of hack psychologists and lobotomists; the weird, supposedly organic space dragon beast that showed up as a relatively minor threat in one episode; Nitro, the hundred and twenty foot long, six-legged alien housecat; the monster Chaos, which sheds deadly indestructible/mega sharp scales everywhere that the Decepticons harvest as weapons; and thoroughly weird and ambiguous stuff like the lipoles, Mecannibals, and Scraplets.

I'd go into it a bit further, but I'm low on time; it's clear, though, that being in the same universe as Transformers means that your species is 110% more likely to be huge and insanely powerful, even if they're essentially human otherwise. (That chick in the throne? She once took a Transformer's head off with one blow. Most Transformers can't do that.)
