The Decepticons are a faction introduced in the Transformers movie.

History[]

The Decepticons started actually with one Cybertronian, you would think Megatron right?, WRONG, the First Decepticon was one of the original seven Primes, his name was The Fallen, who was formerly known as Megatronus Prime. When the original Primes found the AllSpark, they realized they needed a power source for it, for as the AllSpark created life, it too, did not have unlimited energy. The Primes would eventually figure out that in order to power the AllSpark, they needed to harvest Energon, from Suns.

The First Decepticons[]

The Primes, however, had one rule, never Harvest Energon from a Sun with an Inhabited planet, Megatronus despised this rule, believing that Cybertronians were the ultimate race, this combined with his hatred for the human race, led him to choose to ignore this rule, he gathered up a large group of like-minded Cybertronians and named them Decepticons, (fun fact, the Decepticon logo is based upon the fearsome visage of the Fallen), this is why Megatronus is also known as the Original Decepticon.

17,000 BC[]

Megatronus and his Decepticons then start to construct a Star Harvester on Earth, in prehistoric Eygpt, and Killed any humans who discovered the Harvester. The Primes discovered what Megatronus had done and went to Earth to confront him, they launched a full on assault on the Decepticons. The battle was ferocious, Megatronus fought with the other Primes, and while Megatronus was stronger then his brothers and they couldn't kill him, they imprisoned him and took the Matrix of Leadership from him (the Matrix was also the only way to activate and use a Star Harvester). They then sealed the Matrix in a tomb made of their own bodies, their ultimate sacrifice to save Earth, Megatronus would forever more be known as The Fallen, and the Decepticons would then disband and the name would never be used or heard of again, until many years later.

Great War[]

Many years have passed on Cybertron since Megatronus's dreadful actions, Cybertron was at peace, and their Leader Sentinel Prime had just stepped down to let the future actions of Cybertron be determined by the Cybertronian science division known as Autobots, which was led by a Cybertronian scientist named Optimus, and the Cybertronian military, which was led by Megatron. Optimus and his science division were at an expedition digging for old Cybertronian Relics linked to their past when Megatron came flying towards them and asked Optimus how the dig was going, Optimus stated that it was fine and that they found a strange relic in the ground that could be linked to their past. Megatron ordered it to be dug out and returned to his quarters Optimus insisted it be taken to the Science institution for study, and just as Megatron and Optimus were about to argue, they saw the city was under attack from an unknown alien race who sought the energy of the AllSpark, Megatron ordered that the Science division move out of the Expedition and flew off to deal with the invaders. When Megatron arrived at the scene, Bumblebee and Cliffjumper were on the defensive while guarding the AllSpark, Megatron criticized them for not going on the offensive, whilst speaking he was shot in the shoulder by a tank, he dealt with it quickly when Starscream came to ask if he was fine. Megatron told Starscream he was fine and when Starscream asked about Bumblebee and Cliffjumper and what they were supposed to do, Megatron say "to stay out of our way", after the battle Megatron limped his way to his quarters, as instructed the artifact the Science division discovered was in his quarters, as Megatron grew more weak he started to fall, when he fell for what was thought to be his last movement, it was in front of the artifact, but this artifact was strange for it started to speak to Megatron.

Megatron[]

The first thing Megatron heard was a voice in his head telling him to wake up, the voice repeated this and Megatron rose, demanding to know who the voice, the voice first asked him who he was, Megatron told the voice "I am Megatron, defender of Cybertron, and no one-" Megatron was cut off when the voice spoke to him, when Megatron looked at the artifact it had a strange visage on, the voice spoke to him and explained who he was. The voice had come from the artifact, and the artifact was the very prison in which the original Prime had Imprisoned Megatronus, who was now known as The Fallen. The Fallen explained all the history of him, the Primes, the Star Harvester, and more, the Fallen told Megatron that he needed to find the Star Harvester which he had constructed so long ago and that Megatron would help him find it, and in return, he would grant him tremendous power and rule over Cybertron, Megatron accepted and became his apprentice.

The Decepticons return[]

Now the Apprentice of The Fallen, Megatron decided to launch a full-scale attack on the ships autobots that flew over their planet. With the entire Cybertronian military at his command, Megatron led the attack and triumphed. Optimus questioned the reasoning behind this and went to Megatron's quarters to find some answers. when Optimus, Jazz, and Prowl entered Megatron's quarters, they found nothing, and when Optimus found the artifact, the visage was gone, but the symbols on the side weren't. Optimus said to himself "Megatron must have cleaned it up" before leaving, later, after an anaylsis from Ratchet, they would discover the symbols on the artifact and similar artifacts would have the same symbols, Optimus in turn would have these sybmols, and that they are the symbols of the Primes, thus making Optimus, Optimus Prime. When Megatron returned, The Fallen told Megatron that Optimus had been here, after he wad informed, Megatron decided it was time for action, The Fallen told him "Cybertron will be yours, everything else will be mine". Megatron would later gather Cybertronians who were loyal to him in the city of Trypticon, he stated that they would give Cybertron the rule it deserved and branded him and his follower Decepticons, looks like the Decepticons are making a comeback.

The Decepticons arrive on Earth[]

Many more years have passed since Megatron and the Allspark left Cybertron, and both Autobots and Decepticons decided it was time to leave. The Decepticons arrived a while after Bumblebee and HotRod (and by a while I mean a long time), they make their presence known by having Blackout attack a military base in Qatar to find information on the whereabouts of Megatron and the AllSpark, which both seemingly have crashed here. Frenzy searches the files again on Air Force 1 after Blackout's connection was cut by the humans, Air Force 1 lands on the ground and Frenzy meets up with Barricade, who is disguised as a police car. Frenzy tells him they need to find Ladiesman2187, which is the eBay username for Sam Witwickey. Barricade's attempt at finding the glasses that can lead the Decepticons to the AllSpark and Megatron from Sam is stopped when Bumblebee comes and gets Sam away from Barricade.

Battle of Mission City[]

The Decepticons begin their attack on mission city when Starscream attacks a civilian truck and costs Bumblebee his legs. The second wave of the attack shows Brawl firing at the human military, Brawl unfortunately already suffered a casualty after his arm gets cut off by Ratchet, and suffers a painful death after getting blasted in the spark multiple times by Bumblebee. Blackout arrives on the scene only to be shot in the head not much later by Cernol Lennox. The ultimate Showdown between Optimus Prime and Megatron begins, and ends with Sam pushing the AllSpark into Megatron's chest, overriding his spark with energy, killing him, leaving only Starscream, who retreats into space to go to the Nemesis, which has crashed on one of Saturn's moons, and there he finds The Fallen on the ship, Starscream sends Decepticons back to Earth while he helps The Fallen build his new army.

Megatron's Resurrection[]

Two years have passed since Megatron was vanquished by the AllSpark, because of this, only shards of the AllSpark remain. One of the last two shards is stolen by the Decepticon Ravager, and with the help of Long Haul, Scrap metal, Mixmaster, and Rampage, they revive Megatron. Megatron then leaves the Baltic sea to head for the Nemesis and encounters Starscream, and later, The Fallen.

Star Harvester and Fallen's Death[]

The Decepticons arrive at Egypt with more numbers than in mission city, the first sign of their presence is the destruction Starscream causes around the place while the Decepticons look for Sam. When the battle ensues, the Decepticons were probably at their highest point of power on Earth, but still, Long haul dies (well, his death is never shown, soo..), Mixmaster dies, Rampage dies, Ravage dies, Devastator dies, and The Fallen dies, now he joins his brothers, leaving only a wounded Megatron and non-wounded Starscream, and they retreat, not to be seen for two more years.

Reviving Sentinel and Invasion[]

After three years of relative quiet, the Decepticons returned to NEST's radar when they enacted a scheme decades in the making, luring Optimus to the crashed Ark on the Moon. Optimus revived Sentinel Prime, who soon revealed that he had joined up with Megatron to restore Cybertron.

Sentinel activated his space bridge, bringing forth an army of Decepticons who had hidden on the Moon. Sentinel issued an ultimatum to humanity: deport the Autobots from Earth or be destroyed. Humanity complied and the Autobots left in their spacecraft, but Starscream destroyed the ship once their human operative Dylan Gould learned they would leave without a fight.

The Decepticons then stormed Chicago, slaughtering thousands of humans and made the city into a fortress impenetrable to the human military. Decepticons scattered across the globe to get Sentinel Prime's pillars in place, so that they could create a space bridge large enough to bring Cybertron to Earth, enslaving humanity to reconstruct their home.

Battle of Chicago[]

When the battle of Chicago begins, the Decepticons start suffering major losses, the first big Decepticon that dies is Starscream, who loses his eyes and then his head, after that, Lazerbeak dies, Soundwave dies soon after, and Shockwave. awhile after that, Sentinel Prime duels it out with Optimus Prime, cutting off Optimus's arm and is about to kill him when Megatron intervenes and majorly wounds Sentinel, asking for a truce with Optimus as long as he could stay in charge, but gets decapitated (or de-spined) with Optimus's energon axe, Optimus then kills Sentinel with Megatron's shotgun. it seems that the Decepticons are no more right?

Galvatron[]

Unfortunately, this Autobot victory was quickly negated when Harold Attinger created Cemetery Wind, a secret CIA cabal who began hunting down all Autobots and Decepticons left around the globe, with the help of Lockdown, a Cybertronian bounty hunter. Five years later, less than a dozen Transformers from either faction had survived the hunt. Though both factions were being slaughtered, Attinger claimed he was only hunting Decepticons, and their remains were sent to Kinetic Solutions Incorporated to be melted down to be made into new Transformers remote-controlled by humans. Megatron's head was recovered from Chicago, but no one except Brains discovered that the Decepticon leader had survived, and was biding his time by secretly worming his way into KSI's military prototype, Galvatron. Megatron also gave his new body operational control of the other fifty drones KSI had built. This was all in order to obtain the Seed that Lockdown would eventually pay Attinger and KSI with in exchange for help in apprehending Optimus Prime, so that Megatron could cyberform a large city to announce his return and build a massive army.

Optimus only became aware of Galvatron's true nature after doing battle with the drone, and passed the knowledge on to his human ally Cade Yeager. Yeager tried to warn Joshua Joyce of Galvatron's plot regarding the Seed, but it was too late, and Galvatron rebelled, christening the drones he took control of Decepticons. The Autobots came to rescue Joyce and the Seed in Hong Kong, but Galvatron set his army upon them, sparking a large battle. Hound and Bumblebee were nearly overwhelmed by the Decepticons until Optimus arrived with the Dinobots, decimating the majority of them. The last few Decepticons were killed when Optimus detonated one of Lockdown's grenades. Galvatron, having escaped the battle when the Dinobots arrived, headed off for parts unknown, his plans temporarily stymied.

Quintessa and Unicron[]

Over the next few years, new Decepticons continued to arrive on Earth, but soon fell into disarray without a leader. Several Decepticons were killed in skirmishes with humans and Autobots, while others were captured by the TRF. After years of anarchy, Galvatron returned to Earth with a new body and reverted to his Megatron persona, now serving Quintessa in her plan to restore Cybertron at the cost of destroying Earth. Megatron initially kept his existence a secret to all except Barricade, who he used as a scout.

Eventually, Megatron came out of hiding and reformed the Decepticon army, negotiating the release of his henchmen Mohawk, Dreadbot, Nitro Zeus, and Onslaught (only settling for the latter when his request for the volatile-even by Decepticon standards-Berserker was denied). The Decepticons and TRF attacked an Autobot refugee camp, but were forced into a retreat thanks to the efforts of Yeager's team of Autobots and Dinobots, with Mohawk, Onslaught, and Dreadbot perishing during the battle. Decepticons began making their way to Cybertron after Megatron retrieved the Staff of Merlin. However, practically all Decepticons-including Nitro and Infernocus-fell before the combined might of the Autobots, U.S Army and former TRF soldiers, Quintessa's former Guardian Knights, and their other allies as well as the British Armed Forces. Seeing as how Megatron and Barricade's current statuses are unclear, the return of the Decepticons is uncertain.
