Decepticons
Decepticons, one of
the two main groups in the fictional Transformers
universe series are the antagonists and evil side in the civil war which
originated from their home in Cybertron Autobots.
The civil war has since spread to other universes, including planet Earth.
The villains comes
in many shapes, many sizes and different origins but in most of the
incarnations, they are led by Megatron, a power hungry character that
has a personal mission of killing the Autobot leader (again, in most
incarnations) Optimus Prime. Decepticons generally have red eyes as
opposed to the blue of the Autobots. In fact, all but one Decepticon have red
eyes ( Decepticon Frenzy curiously has blue eyes).
Decepticons are
loathed by the humans on planet earth. They (Decepticons) kill human beings
mercilessly in the process of achieving their goals and consider the humans as
“Insects” and “disgusting”. In the 2007 live-action film, Megatron,
Bonecrusher, Blackout and Frenzy are seen disposing of or attempted to dispose
of humans. The Decepticons would not hesitate to destroy the entire earth if
the need arises and only the heroic
Autobots' intervention can prevent this.
Also based on the 2007 live-action film, storyline,
Megatron once ruled Cybertron together with Optimus Prime due
to the life-giving All-Spark which kept both the Transformers and Cybertron
alive. Subsequently, Megatron desired the All-Spark all for himself and formed
an army for that purpose. A civil war soon erupted and spread to earth, where
the All-Spark was said to be. Decepticons that are featured in the 2007
live-action film include Frenzy, Scorponok, Blackout, Starscream, Megatron,
Brawl, Barricade and Bonecrusher.
