## Notes

To mix things up a little from the usual Autobot vs Decepticon conflict the TF franchise always follows, the Destrons' forces consist of both Bots and Cons from the original toyline that had an military-like vehicle mode (such as the Aerialbots), and other protection services (like the Protectobots). In addition to that, to differentiate them a little more from the Decepticons, the Destrons' ranks are made up of characters with more mililtaristic and normal-looking alt modes, while the actual Decepticon faction that is featured in this series is mainly filled by characters with monster-like alternate modes and more alien/futuristic vehicles of the later years of the original toyline.

"Destron" is actually the name the Decepticons went by in the Japanese G1 continuity.

Their insignia is actually the symbol used by the Cybertron Guard from the original cartoon, just flipped upside down with the center colored golden-yellow to give the faction a more royal appearance (which is, of course, ironic since they have known criminals and killers in their ranks).

This version of the Destrons take a lot of inspiration from the Titans from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, both of them being factions that appraised for peace but actually have ulterior motives. There are some differences between the two, however, such as how the Destrons are the entire military force, whereas the Titans are only a subgroup of the Earth Federation.
