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.[/quote]Omega Alfa Prime wrote:

I think you underestimate the surveillance capabilities of the US government. I don't know about other places in the world, but unless Transformers came here before homo sapiens developed, as stated in G1, and stayed dormant, which did not happen, the CIA and other agencies would know about it.
Without going on a tangent about privacy and security, all I will say is that they wouldn't be allowed to just run around freely. Whether it be through covert action or open confrontation, humans (the American military at least) would make an attempt to control them, and if it fails, fight them and defeat them. Regardless of them being Autobots or Decepticons. Bumblebee's capture scene from the 1st Bay film is case in point.
Of course, the Decepticons would respond adversely, and unless humans use nukes, we stand no chance. Autobots, on the other hand, would try to protect themselves and run if they had to, and not fight unless it's the last resort.
