Obviously not true. They wouldn't want the off chance of offending the Tech priests of Mars Omnissiah! Perhaps they are their creations! ; }
Starship Trooper talking to an Guardsmen: "So you call them Tyranids? We call em Bugs!" But Crossovers with Wh40k aren't good much of the Time since Wh40k is too powerful. The IG alone fucks up most of the Sci-fi Universes out there.
Plus if the autobots are as friendly towards the humans of the 40k universe they would have to at leaste discuss the existence of an alien race that doesn't want to destroy them.
True but there is something fun in imagining, Take the flood vs the nids for example fuck knows who's coming out of that one. And before everyone says nids although they do have better combat forms as soon as something dies it will fall to flood sooooooo
