Cybertron is a robotic planet, its inhabitants are robots. The transformers, good and bad, who crashed on the planet earth did not originally transform into familiar shapes like cars, minivans, and semis. When their spaceships crashed the auto-recover function scanned the surrounding area for local machines and designed blueprints used to re-engineer the alien robots to better fit in. Their disguises allowed them to move freely before revealing themselves to the humans. Makes total sense. Just like when in Futurama Bender got his memory erased at the North Pole and when he rebooted his scan only picked up penguins. He acted like a penguin for the rest of the episode to fit in.
Once they got into space during the movie a few of the robots were redesigned (most notably Megatron, he also got a new name: Galvatron).
