They are robots from another planet. Why were they built to transform into vehicles?

They were designed to infiltrate and invade Earth. They are testing their camouflage.

Because "They're Robots in Disguise."
At least that's what it said on the original tag line. Also, in both the cartoon series and the comic book storylines, the Transformers (both good and bad) were made to resemble the closest Earth-like vehicle to their form by the ship computer system.

They are "Robots in Disguise" They have to take some sort of form, while on earth. Thats why they take after mechanical objects. The deceptacons transform into jets, tape player/tapes, construction equipment, ect.
The Auto bots have to transform into something that doesnt destroy things, they must have thier weapons independantly from thier form.

Actually when the autobots and decepticons crash landed on earth it was teletran 1 that scanned earth vehicles and re-configured them to transform into cars and jets. Not the matrix, get your facts straight fool.

It's so they can blend in. If they transformed into a UFO or some other alien vehicle, they would be spotted right away.

The matrix had the ships computer build them that way so they would blend in with Earth's life forms. The matrix could only recognize other machines so it concluded that cars and such were the dominant life form on Earth.
