World War II

World War II was the gigantic military conflict in 20th century Earth, in which the belligerent Axis included Nazi Germany, the Empire of Japan, Italian forces and Kalistan, with Adolf Hitler and Emperor Hirihito as prominent leaders. The war itself was two separate wars - the European war, and the Pacific war. With Japan and Nazi Germany both attempting to conquer their area of the world, both ending and starting at different times.

To counter them, the allied forces united - Great Britain (by proxy, it's colonies - such as India and the ANZACs), The USA and Canada, France (However, occupied by Nazi Germany) and the Soviet Union as the major players.

In order to win the War, both the United States, Soviet Union and the Axis worked on creating any weapon imaginable, involving atom-bombs, genetic experiments and "super-soldiers": men enhanced by scientific treatments to the peak of human ability.

The Allies won in the end, through an imminent invasion of Japan and two atom bombs. Victory, though, only led to further conflict - The Cold War.

History
Numerous Transformers, most commonly Autobots, were active in World War II on the Allied side, though history remembers none of it. One Autobot disguised itself as a Supermarine Spitfire plane to defend Britain. In one mission, Bumblebee and Rodimus sneaked a squad of British soldiers into a German-occupied building for a successful attack, which resulted in the assassination of Adolf Hitler. However, Adolf still died by his own hand - using a cyanide pill after his wounds. According to Jaegertron, Bumblebee also helped wipe out a village full of Axis-aligned civilians. Quite ruthless for an Autobot, apparently.

Apparently, Shockdrop was apparently reported as seen by Sir Edmund Burton helping the Allied forces take out a production facility in Northern Europe.

Bumblebee apparently remembers fighting in the Humans' War, but he prefers not to think about it. Shockdrop, on the other hand, doesn't seem to remember any alleged involvement in World War II. German records imply that Decepticons like Slipstream and Laserbeak had fought for the Axis forces in one unspecified battle, with the Soviets seemingly having support from Minervix before joining the allied forces.

Another rumour states that Outblast served as an advisor for the Axis forces before he was assigned to observe one of the Transformers Animated timestreams.
