Decepticons

The Decepticons were a faction of warmongering Cybertronians led by Megatron, a former miner and gladiator of Kaon, who sought to bring forth a new order on Cybertron with him as its leader. The name "Decepticon" came from propaganda by the Cybertron High Council, labeling them liars and thieves — a label that became appropriated by the movement, with Megatron asserting that they would gladly be guilty of deception if it was simply the truth. They held goals similar to the Iaconian movement of the Autobots but differed on how to obtain them. When Megatron was ultimately denied the Matrix of Leadership and rank of Prime, he ordered his followers to fight and forcefully take control of Cybertron, sparking the Great War. During the war, their noble ideals quickly became corrupted, and they became almost completely amoral, willing to seize power by any means available. This led eventually led to the use of Dark Energon, which shut down the core of Cybertron and rendered it a lifeless world. Like their enemies, the Decepticons took to the stars to continue their war across the universe, predominantly in the Milky Way galaxy.
