In 2405, after several centuries of peace, there are Cybertronian civilians, citizens who don't belong to any particular group; the only particular "faction" is the Autobots, who serve as sort of a combination police/military/government for the planet and its holdings. (There isn't really a Maximal faction, per se; the Maximals we saw in Twilight are castaways from a parallel universe.)
