Decepticons

The Decepticons (ディセプティコン, Diseputikon), is a group that appears in the DC's Transformers series created by Bob Budiansky. They are a group of Cybertronians, whose main goal was possession of the AllSpark and to bring about change on Cybertron due to the empire-building, space faring ways of their ancestors.

The Decepticons will stop at nothing to protect their home planet of Cybertron… even at the expense of other sentient beings. The name of "Decepticon" came from pre-war propaganda by the Cybertron Council labeled that them as liars and thieves. They took the name as a badge of honor instead. In their minds and Megatron's words, "if speaking the truth [was] deception, then [they were] gladly guilty".

In the Great War and long after, they were opposed by Optimus Prime and the Autobots. Occasionally, both sides would put aside their differences for mutual threats only to resume fighting later when those threats are neutralized or destroyed.

"The name was meant to demonize us. Instead, we wear it as a badge of honor, for if speaking the truth is deception, then we are gladly guilty."
 * —Megatron explaining the origins of the Decepticons' namesake.
