    I think some people are forgetting what the word "invade" means.

    Literally almost every single continuity the Transformers are invading Earth. No, scratch that, every single continuity.

    That's just crazy enough to work. Throw in Cary Grant as Soundwave and I'm sold.

    I just had a brain fart. Technically, in G1, The Transformers were here before we were. Would that allow them dibs on the planet?

    Ha! Good point. :) 

    But I think "alien invasion" still applies, in the sense that the basic genre also allows for ancient aliens, and primeval beings buried in the earth's core and stuff like that. It's a flexible genre.

    I think that Transformers has definitely branched out and told other big stories, but the basic "arrival on earth" and "secret war" scenario (especially seen in Bayformers) is a total alien invasion storyline.
