Apparently they were built by some uber-aliens to defeat a giant uber-transformer thing. I am pretty sure they were not originally designed to transform, their ship decided it was a good idea to retro-fit them while they were unconcious after crash-landing on Earth. The ship figured they wouldn't fit in with the other machines on the planet so it modified them. Unfortunately it couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe so everybody got modified (this after the decepticons managed to get on board the ship).
