Working on a Decepticon inner circle page.


 * The Decepticon inner circle is the senior leadership in the Generation 1 continuity family.

Every good leader needs a group of advisors. Megatron thinks he's a good leader, but he tends to ingore his subordinates. But there are those he occasionally listens to. Therefore, Megatron has gathered around himself an inner circle that he listens to for advice. However, among the Decepticons, pays off better than loyalty, and many of the inner circle have tried to usurp Megatron on more than one occasion.

They get along surprisingly well with each other, however.

Membership among the inner circle varies, but traditional members include:


 * Starscream, Air Commander and second-in-command.
 * Soundwave, Communications Officer and confidant.
 * Shockwave, Military Operations Commander.

Generation 1 cartoon
Megatron's inner circle primarily consisted of Starscream, Soundwave, and Shockwave. Although Starscream had it out for Megatron, Soundwave and Shockwave were firmly loyal to Megatron. After the departure of the Nemesis, Starscream and Soundwave followed Megatron, while Shockwave was left in charge of Cybertron. The inner circle was reuinited by the time Megatron had conquered Cybertron and driven the Decepticons off. However, only Soundwave survived Unicron's subsequent attack on Cybertron.

Dreamwave continuity
The inner circle was formed out of the earliest of the gladiators that took part in Megatron's gladiatorial combats. However, none of them fully realized Megatron's true intentions.
