![]() ![]() ![]() The character listing/mini-poster that came inside Transformer packaging identified him as "Autobot Commander", as contrasted with Megatron's title of "Decepticon Leader". Optimus Prime was among the first Transformers released from Hasbro in 1984. Many of the Transformers were based on Takara designs. Hasbro launched the Transformers toy line with eighteen different Autobot characters, all of whom transformed into automobiles, while the ten distinct Decepticons, (seven packages as three came two to a box/pack) were weapons, aircraft and communications equipment. Some continuities also has Liege Maximo and The Fallen as the ancestor of the Decepticon faction. Other leaders include Galvatron, Shockwave, Soundwave, Scorponok, Devil Z, Deathsaurous, Starscream, Thunderwing, Jiaxus, Ratbat, and Bludgeaon. Ultimately, the Decepticons desire to protect their homeworld, even if it is at the expense of others. More than a few have a sense of honor, while others believe that Cybertron would be better protected by aggressive expansion. Also, the Decepticons are not exactly the most compassionate beings in the universe, but not all fight for greed. This tends to cause some conflict, given how generally every Decepticon thinks that they're the most powerful. Unlike the Autobots, whose leader is a Prime bearing a Matrix, the Decepticons are led by the most powerful of their ranks (usually Megatron). ![]() After the featured film The Transformers: The Movie, Megatron was reformed as Galvatron, and Optimus Prime was replaced for a time by Rodimus Prime, only to return later on. Millions of years later, in 1984 a volcano eruption causes a probe to give them all new forms which come from vehicles in the surrounding area. When the Decepticons board the Autobots' ship it takes a beating and crashes onto Primitive Earth and knocks everyone unconscious. The Autobots did not wish to fight the Decepticons, but they fought in space anyway. Both factions needed supplies, and select numbers from each side intended to get them. They waged war for eons on their home planet of Cybertron against the heroic Autobots. The Decepticons are from a race called Transformers - robots that can change into vehicles, mechanical devices and even animal forms. 4.5 Transformers: The Last Knight (2017 film).4.4 Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014 film).4.3 Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011 film).4.2 Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009 film).Beginning with the original Generation 1 cartoon, the Decepticon rallying cry has been "Decepticons attack!", as well as "Transform and rise up!" in Transformers: Animated as a play on the Autobots' "Transform and roll out!" rallying cry. However, the Japanese Version of Transformers Animated uses Decepticon (ディセプティコン).Īs opposed to the Autobots' Supreme Commander, the Primes, the Decepticons' highest ranking leader is often given the title Emperor of Destruction in Japan. The overall name of the Robots in Disguise villain faction is Destronger. The only exception to this naming convention is Car Robots, where the sub-group referred to as "Decepticons" in the Robots in Disguise adaptation, is known in Japan as the Combatrons (the Japanese name of the G1 subgroup known as the Combaticons). In the Japanese version of the franchise, the Decepticons are called Destron or Deathtron ( Japanese: デストロン Desutoron). Capable of transforming into alternate forms, these are often high tech or powerful vehicles including aircraft, military vehicles, heavy equipment, ground combat vehicles, expensive luxury cars, sports cars and even smaller-than-human-sized objects. They are depicted as a faction of sentient robotic lifeforms led by Megatron, identified by a purple face-like insignia.
