Lets do a headcount here:

5 main autobots, who will appear in some form or another each episode

At least 2 humans, who will also appear frequently

5 Decepticons, the most frequent and most powerful antagonists

Any number of human villians or other threats, who appear every so often, but are usually just filler villians.

There are basically 3 types of transformers stories; G1, which had a large assortment of characters, but could basically be watched in any order caue most episodes had mostly no continuity; Animated/Prime, a cooler show with better written characters and lingering plotlines where actions had consequences; rescue bots, a show that had great continuity, but was otherwise like G1 (except no decepticons).
