I wish to pose a philosophical question, what if all the stories we read and watch about transformers are based on some level of truth?

We would either be slaves or extinct.

Why do you say that?
How would we even know that they know we exist?
They live in another galaxy after all, or what about "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings"?

That's 1 side of the coin. The other is "Peace Through Tyranny."

Personally, if they ever came to our planet, and things are as they're depicted in the various continuities, I'd be the 1st in line to volunteer to the Autobots for the Head- or Powermaster process.

I always saw myself as the guy in the exo-suit/possible spy type, though Headmaster would pretty bad ass. As to the original question, in all honesty, we'd either be slaves or disposable resources for the much more powerful and technological advanced species. Though I do like to think we'd put up a helluva fight before being subjugated.

So you don't think that the Autobots stand a chance in protecting the human race?

We would simply be wiped out. Casualities of someone else's war.

Not entirely true but not false eather, according to most cybertronien lore that can be found there are to few on eather side to definitely say that we would be wiped out, yes there would be casualties, but there would be more survivors than anything else, our own military combine with the Autobot forces would stand somewhat of a chance agencet Decepticon forces

First answer, RUN!

Second answer: I am going to play devil's advocate on this. At least at first, they be very sleathy. We probably wouldn't even notice them. Our government intellegence agencies wouldn't. Heck, if that tfs existed to likes Alex Jones or even Bill Birnes, they would laugh in your face.
Also, even with their technological advantages, the tfs might not want to screw with us until their own war is over. For the Autobots, the reasons are obvious (and all the Optimus Prime hater will most thankful that he is charge!). However, the Decepticons might not be in a hurry to mess the locals either. In many continuities, the humans ranging from the likes Chumley, Masterson, and MECH have been a pain in the neck to Decepticons even they were not the main targets of their plots. Also, many Autobots v Depecticons are such close encounter, one badly timed human intervention might tip the balance. The last Megatron wants is to start a full fledged war with humans and have the Autobots steal a potential victory by attack his rear. Heck, insignificant Sam Witwicky was a big eneough pain.
The only x-factor I can see is that Decepticons may have many more human sympathizers, kiss up, and allies than any of the continuities, and most nations would try to play sides of the Great War.

If they go by the G1 continuation where all Autobots were on the same page of protecticing humanity, then yes. Otherwise.... I'm less certain. Even in the first live action movie, Ironhide was willing to "take out" the parents to keep things quiet and Ratchet (I believe) egged him on. Optimus is the only one that seemed set on "not killing humans".
